VisualZero: Hello BLOOD, thank you for this exclusive interview about the end of your trilogy. First of all, some question on your last mini-album of the VENGEANCE for BLOOD era. The mini-album starts with the song VENGEANCE for BLOOD which reflects, even with the title, the basic message of the theme "VENGEANCE for BLOOD". How important was it for you to create a song, containing everything what VENGEANCE for BLOOD stands for? Kiwamu: When I write this song's melody line, I feeled the song fit the theme song. Fu-ki: I wanted to express sadness, agony, pain, loneliness and other things with music and lyrics. It was very hard, but I'm convinced we were succeed in that. VisualZero: Also VENGEANCE for BLOOD 3 seems to be more soft, "aggressive" songs, similiar to "VICE" or "D.T.M.H." are not included in the album. Didn't it fit in the concept of the last mini-album, or is the sound of BLOOD still evolving? Fu-ki: I think this album is aggressive enough. On the surface it seems not to be, but aggressive has not only one mean. Kiwamu: Please feel the inside about these songs. There are much aggresive feeling. VisualZero: Looking now on the completion of this VENGEANCE for BLOOD trilogy, do you think you told everything of the story. Are you all satisfied with this trilogy? Fu-ki: Now I'm satisfied. I think no one can do this but us. Kiwamu: There are some bands to draw the vampire. But VENGEANCE for BLOOD is the most good concept cds. VisualZero: Also you are releasing a LIVE DVD soon. It will show the concert in MEXICO. The second recorded live after the "LIVE in USA ~infected with BLOOD ~" video. What did you like about this live in Mexico, to pick particularly this one for the DVD? Kiwamu: LIVE in USA is only introduction. So there are 10 minutes live shows. But in this dvd, there are 10 songs. I produced all images for the dvd, please fell (feel) my gothic spirit. Fu-ki: It is my first full DVD. VisualZero: How do you like the idea that soon BLOOD literally does a live in every household with the upcoming DVD? Fu-ki: It is a side of us. I'm happy if fans like it. Kiwamu: I needed too much time about editing. I don't want to edit anymore. VisualZero: For those who are unsure to buy VENGEANCE for BLOOD 3 or VENGEANCE for BLOOD LIVE in MEXICO, what do you suggest those people? Kiwamu: Buy or death. Fu-ki: If you want good music, you can get it in them. VisualZero: About 2-3 years of VENGEANCE for BLOOD, thinking about this near end of this era, how do you feel about that? Kiwamu: Tired Fu-ki: I'm satisfied. VisualZero: Also you plan to do a last tour in the VENGEANCE for BLOOD era. Why did you choose Europe to end VENGEANCE for BLOOD and do you plan to go to Germany? Kiwamu: Now, Astan magazine is looking for the place. Germany is important for our music. So we should play there as the last tour. VisualZero: Some people assume "Last Tour" does also mean you are disbanding. What can you say about this rumors? Kiwamu: I was tired to finish these cds. So I want to take a rest for a while. VisualZero: Thank you for this interview, allow me one final question. A lot of people wonder, what will be now after VENGEANCE for BLOOD. Can you tell us something ahead? With you interested in Kafka, Kiwamu, do you think it is likely there will be some songs about his works? Kiwamu: You know I am the leader of this band. So My will is the band's will. So now, I can't think about the next plan. |
