The funniest thing I’ve seen when interviewing bands from Japan is one very famous visual kei band changing the styling of the email interview. All questions were now standard weight and their answers were in bold and a few sizes bigger 🤣 Made me giggle as I switched it back.

AG from NOISEMAKER said something to me today that really had a deep impact once it settled in. He said he’s loving the UK so far because fans are so pure about their love of music here. I didn’t know what it meant, but the concept was stuck in my mind throughout coldrain’s set. I think he’s right.

One of my biggest regrets in life was sitting next to REITA and being too starstruck to speak to him. I think about that moment a lot. Because of the regret I felt I always make sure to push myself a little further than usual when feeling anxious or out of my comfort zone.
