Taka: that was “onion” by one ok rock.  From here we will talk about the event we’ve done or been called to. Something apart from ‘fes’. We’ll talk about that.
Is there a band that left an impression on you after we collaborated with them?
Ryota: well for me I think its ‘hormone’
Taka: ahh maximum the hormone eh, yeah we were called to perform with them on tour.
Ryota: well with the bassist ue-chan, the bass, just by watching him perform your tension just goes up. Really, he’s really cool.
Toru: we watched at the sides from a really close place right?
Ryota: that one, our tension really rose.
Toru: then even backstage they are really funny and kind. In a good way you didn’t have to be formal performing with them at a live.
Taka: their friendly.
Toru: a band we collaborated and had a good atmosphere.
Tomoya: but theres a big difference when they are ‘on’ and ‘off’ right. When their “on” everyone is serious and all, before their ‘on’ they prepare and after the live started their all serious performing their 100%.
Taka: well but we the same also right.
Tomoya: ya we are but..
Toru: we’re all the same
Tomoya: the transition I think was superb.
Taka: respect?
Tomoya: respecto
Taka: then for tomoya are there any other bands?
Tomoya: me….i think its PTP
Taka: ahhh PTP eh, pay money to my pain. Well though the vocalist K-san left before all of us. But that band is awesome right.
Tomoya: I think they impacted me the most.
Taka: they have everything right. There were ‘lives’ when K was feeling well and ‘lives’ when K wasn’t feeling well but still they leave something behind at the end of the day. Their one hell of a band.  Their performances were like overcoming something. Watching them you feel the goosbumps. We had toured together before, that’s the first right? At Kyushu we were asked to tour with them. Well that was awesome.
Tomoya: He kept drinking right.
Taka: yea he kept drinking.
Toru: well though that tour was fun, we also did “tsuman” together
Taka: we played together once a month.
Toru: then there was once we made a song together. All together we matched the instruments and the vocalist, it was quite awesome. We made a song with 8 people.
Tomoya: 2 drums, 2 bass, 2 guitar.
Toru: that was new and very fun for me, it was fun to make as well. It’s a band that we gathered many interests from via collaboration.
Taka: the character of each and every one of them is good as well right? Well im sure their songs will continue to live among everyone. How about toru-san? Are they any other bands?
Toru: ehhh well, collaboration, I think its still considered a collaboration. The story of the year.
Taka: ahh we did it
Toru: that one was…it was the first time we collaborated with a foreign band. It was a band we looked up to as well and I really like them. So, we also were at a place where we could watch them as well so, being able to do such things with the band was very, we were very thankful.
Taka: like one of our dreams came true, ahh like we made it till this far.
Toru: like we went there to do some serious stuff, but yet we could watch their live and it seemed like we all enjoyed ourselves. But that was fun
Taka: for me theres quite a lot but I think there are about 3 (most outstanding ones). First would be fear in losing in las vegas, crossfaith…
Toru: ahhh the noisy ones eh,
Taka: ahh seriously they were fun.
[everyone agrees]
Taka: we were like “wow their cool!”
Ryota: somemore they were all from different places.
Toru: it felt like they were students from different schools,
