on the line right now mineral from
loudness it's great to talk to you and
icon you two are speaking from a Tokyo
Japan it's great to talk to you now I
first discovered loudness way back when
the disillusion album came out Wow what
do you remember about those days before
debuting in the States
今つないでいるのは、ラウドネスからの実です。素晴らしいアイコン！あなたたちは東京、日本から話しています。素晴らしいです。まず、ディスアリュージョン・アルバムがリリースされたときにラウドネスを初めて発見しました。その日々について、デビューする前のことを覚えていますか。





oh well you know I remember we were
pretty much famous in Japan then you
know we've done so successful in Japan
and then one day our manager came up to
us and he was saying - you know he was
saying that now let's go USA - play some
concert you know so we were freaking out
but then we went to space we released
the four albums before dissolution album
and in which which did the really
successful how difficult was it with
ああ、日本ではかなり有名だったと覚えています。日本で非常に成功したので、ある日、マネージャーがやってきて、「アメリカに行こう、コンサートをやろう」と言ってきたんです。私たちはパニックになっていたんですが、それから我々は宇宙に行きました。ディスアリュージョンアルバムの前に4つのアルバムをリリースしていて、どれが本当に成功したのでしょうか？




English obviously not paying your first
language how difficult was it doing？
語はもちろん、あなたの第一言語ではないので、英語でのヴォーカルはどれほど難しかったですか？



vocals in English it was big big
difficult very difficult still it is
very difficult to sing in English
because you know in Japan you don't have
to repeat English at all you don't need
the English while you live in Japan and
also I was not able to speak English at
all when I when I was at 23 when we
started recording for a Thunder in this
table which was released in 1984 in the
States and then I had to take a listen
and took me forever to take you know to
be done songs in the studio it's very
difficult to soon I think in English all
とても難しかったです。まだとても難しいです。英語で歌うのはとても難しいです。日本では英語を繰り返す必要がないので、英語が必要ないですし、私は23歳のときに英語を話すことができませんでした。1984年にアメリカでリリースされたサンダーインザイーストの録音を始めたときもそうでした。それから、スタジオで曲を録音するのにとても長い時間がかかりました。






the time are there some songs that don't
translate the lyrics very well from?
英語から日本語に歌詞を翻訳するのは簡単ではありませんが、いくつかの歌はうまく翻訳されないことがありますか？





I mean I'm assuming the
in Japanese and then translated oh yeah
sometime I know I have no I did not know
English then , so I did not have no any
idea how good or bad but yeah I was come
on told me the some songs did not go
well
It's not easy translated into
English from Japanese a lyrics so okay.
うん、時々あります。私は英語がわからなかったので、どのように良いか悪いかわかりませんでしたが、いくつかの曲はうまくいかなかったことがありました。






now you left the band in 1988 or
thereabouts
what did you do after you left
あなたがバンドを離れたのは1988年頃ですが、ラウドネスを辞めてから何をしましたか？







honestly I did not have anything to do
who you know I lost my job
totally.
I don't know I was depressed but
I'll some record companies they offered
to make deal with me to make some our
solo album. So I I was starting to write
songs for my solo album right after you
know quitting the loveless soul I was
pretty busy to do those at studio stuff
and you know oh yeah and then after my
soul I form of you know I feel a band
yeah trying to stay away from the
loudess for a while so but you rejoined
正直、何もすることがありませんでした。仕事を失ってしまったので、落ち込んでいました。しかし、いくつかのレコード会社が私と契約して、ソロアルバムを作る提案をしてくれたので、ラウドネスをやめた直後にソロアルバムのために曲を書き始めました。










in 2000 tell me about how that happened
2000年にバンドに再加入したが、その経緯を教えてくれませんか？




akira, guitar player he was calling
me up one day about 15 years ago and he
was saying that he wanted to do
something for our 20th anniversary so he
would say that reunited original guy's
loudness and then do something for our
you know 20th anniversary so I thought
that that sounds good
I thought that's a good idea to reunited
loudness so I agree whether what he said
ギタリストが私に電話してきて、「20周年に何かしたい」と言ってきました。オリジナルのメンバーでラウドネスを再結成し、20周年を祝おうと言ってきたので、それに同意しました。




he and him know since then we were here
right now was it intended as just a
reunion for the
at anniversary and then that big it when
we started the reunion we had a plan to
do only one tour but after one tour we
did a pretty good were and in in offense
cause you know just just continuing you
know loudness not for only one tour so
we decided well let's do it you know we
don't we do not know how how go but yeah
we we did anyways yeah okay




So you've
been very active since then album after
album after album and it brings us to
where we are now
その後、アルバムを次々にリリースして活動してきたが、それが今の私たちの状況につながっている。





and we've got the rise to glory album
out how is that doing for you
バンドは最近、日本以外でどのくらい活発ですか？





do youremember we got a huge earth shake back
in 2011 and and you know people were
totally destroyed by your disaster and
we were trying to make people cheer you
up and the rise of glory you know don't
give up you know and do ACTU whatever
you can do you know that's kind of a
theme we had stay positive
2011年に震災がありましたよね。みんなうちのめされてました。僕たちはみんなを励ましたかったんです。それでthe rise of glory というアルバムを制作しました。何があっても前向きでいられるように想いを込めてます。





yeah that's our yeah how active is the
