INORAN's interview from SHOXX magazine, jan '96.



A - Age :.-- Right now I'm 25 [this interview took place in 1995 - myrrh] but I still don't want to belive it. Still have a feeling that I'm just 19 ne. When I was teenager, age 25 gave me the feeling of 'real adult', but now I don't feel that way [feel that he's an adult - myrrh] at all. From age 19 up til now it felt like a blink. After we started LUNA SEA, we gained more experience, being more mature every moment. Actually, I think I'm even older than my real age. (laugh) But I feel happy already just to have those experiences.
  
.: B - Baby :.-- Even at this moment, a baby is being born, right? (laugh) Kids are cute. Even time I look at the children of staff, friends, or people around me I always think they are very cute. My age and my younger brother's are quite difference. When I'm growing up, he was still a baby. That's why I think it's very hard take care of a baby. So, even though I feel like having a baby but don't think I really want it.
-- The thought about taking care of a baby make me think of something in the past. When I look at reality [present - myrrh] I kinda don't want to have children again.
-- Actually, kitten are cute too. About 2 years ago my cat had some kitten but people rumoured that until it was said that they are my kids. I really don't know how the story come to that (laugh)

.: C - Cook :.-- I used to cook some easy-to-fix dishes, Japanese basic family dish like soup or hamberger. So I had to mince meet, right? I thought I could do it, but when I was actually doing it, I couldn't. Everytime I look at somebody else's cooking, it made me feel like 'What (the hell) is this??". I think I must missed some important thing there, because what I cooked couldn't even be called "food", there were not even some slightest seasoning. And now I don't have time, so I don't cook. If some ingredients are missing I won't be able to do it at all. But the taste isn't really my problem ne.

-- My father can cook so well. And that gave me the idea that men should be able to cook. Like that picture of a man cooking in the kitchen is nice ne. Actually, I think if really paying attention, there're lots of men that are better cook than women, right?

.: D - Death:.-- When I was a kid, I used to think about things like "What does it like being the death?". Sometimes that thought made me feel sad. But I've never thought about "Where will I go (after I'm dead)?" or about reincarnation. I'm not interesting in those stuff.

-- Nobody knows when will the death come, right? You can be driving in a highway and crash to a truck in front of your car, just like that, and you're death. It's fate, isn't it? One of people I love or know died every year in these few years. Including my grandfather and grandmother [his father's parents - myrrh] This made me have some thoughts like "It's too sudden ne."

-- Last year, a truck driver I knew suddenly died. I felt very bad. Few days before that he still looked healthy and strong. Then the next thing I knew, he died. This doesn't mean I'm afraid of death but it makes me thinks that I have to live well. I have to live for the part that those people missed too.
  
.: E - Energy :.-- Cigarrette, coffee and sleeping, these are sources of my energy. I won't think about anything during the break, just watching TV and sleeping so they become my energy. The energy during that live is also important but when I get most energy when I'm not doing anything.


.: F - Friends :.-- I want to have friends. (laugh) No, No, I got plenty of friends, both friends from highschool and works. But I rarely see my highschool friends these days. Kinda miss them too. Even there's a person that I meet only once, if we can get along I'll consider that person as my friend ne. The word 'friend' has so many meaning, from very close friends to someone we just know. I'm a person with strong feeling. [like when we love or hate anything, it will be extreme. - myrrh] But I don't speak much. [we know that! - myrrh] When I met somebody that I know, mostly it's them do all the talking. I'll be the listener. 
-- I like to obsearve other people. When I'm looking at people speaking with me it can tell me which kind of a person I am. But when I speak, there're times that people don't understand what I'm talking. So I don't talk. It's like there're some conflicts between things I'm speaking and things going on in my head. It doesn't make any senses sometimes. And that's why I don't want to talk much. Anyway, friends are very important. [err.. I know this is kinda confusing. I really don't know how to explain it. ><;; - myrrh]

.: G - Ghost :.-- I tried to think that there's no such things like ghost. But I think I had seen it once. It was in a rehearsal and I saw something like a human head moving backstage. With curiousity, when we finished I walked back there and I saw a green head floating right in the middle of the air. I tried to act like nothing happen and forget it. But actually, I was scared.
-- After we were back in the dressing room, I really felt like sharing this to others. (in the band) But when I was about to talk I felt scared again. So I threw it out of my head. That was the first and the last time I saw something like a ghost. Anyway, people seeing things in places like concert halls all the time, right? Therefore even people we see around us can be 'them' too. No matter what, I don't want to see them.
  
.: H - Hobby :.-- Being in the band is my hobby already ne. I always have thoughts like "I want to try this. Why don't we try that." But when we actually doing it, it takes some energy. I used to have the idea like "I really want to try surfing." but I haven't try it anyway. So, the truth is, I don't have any hobby. [better don't have hobby than playing those 'darkening' hobbies like Ryu ne~ - myrrh]

.: I - Interview :.
-- I don't like being interviewed. Maybe because it takes time. Interviewing isn't things that you can fix the time. [I think it's like you can't just stop it if you have to be elsewhere. - Amethyst] I like to concentrate on the thing I'm in the mood for. I can change my mood between each works, Live mode, Interview Mode or Composing Mode. Sometimes interview came in while I'm in other modes. The things in my head is still different therefore I can't express the thoughts clearly.

-- But during the interview once I get concentrate, it's ok. Only.. if it's my turn to talk, I still feel nervous. So I think it depends on timing and sequence. Anyway, interview is the worst time for me. It's not good ne, thinking like this when people interview you.

.: J - Jealousy :.-- I don't think I'm jealous type. There're times that I saw things belong to other and say " I want it. I want it." But.. erm.. that's not jealousy, right? I have no taste for competition. Maybe because I don't like to compare myself with others.

-- For example, even if I like a girl, but she like other boy. I would just think "Well~~" but nothing more. Jealousy gives some violence image and I have so little of such those feelings.


.: K - Kiss :.-- Kiss... is wonderful. It's good, right? (laugh) I think that "Have a nice time at work, *Chuu*" as we see in Tv drama is nice ne. I like it that way. But well, that never occured to me so I don't know what is it like. (laugh)


.: L - Live House :.-- There're lots of memories about live house ne. Once, at a live house named "Music Farm" in Nagoya, the crowd was so high until there's some white shield on top of the drums. Maybe it was the sweat of everyone that evaporated until there's only salt left. And after we finished the encore, we walked upstairs to the dressing room when Sugizo who was walking before me fainted then fell down. I walked after him so I had to grab his back immediately. I was very shock at that time ne. We used to play live in many place that had not much air like that but it never went that bad. 
-- Apart from that, there're many kinds of Live House managers ne. But I think I'll leave that topic there. (laugh)


.: M - Memory :.-- I have many amusing and happy memories.. When I was in Junior High, I usually hanged around at a friend's house. His room were a bit apart from his main house so we [many friends - myrrh] always be there right after school. There was not much to do when in Junior High, just being with everybody there was fun already. So we basicly do nothing, just chatting and playing around.

-- One day, a saling machine wouldn't stop. It was a machine that sale fruit juice. We put a coin and took a can, but the button light was still on. When we pressed that button again, another can came out. We were like "Oh~~". And then there were like stream of fruit juice can. At the end, all cans in that machine were out. We couldn't carry them all so we found a bag from somewhere and brought those juice home. We came to that friend's house and shared the thing we got with everyone. It was a fun niest memory ne~. (laugh)


.: N - Name :.-- I was called INORAN since long time ago. A friend in primary school gave the name to me and since that everyone call me with that name. Sometimes I feel it's too cute. [too cute? nothing is too cute for you! *grin* - myrrh] But because it has been so long, I get used to the name. Of course, my family at home don't call me like that. But all people I know afterward call me that. Actually, I kinda like this name ne~.


.: O - Off :.-- Even there's a day off, there's always things to think for the next day so it doesn't feel like resting much. If it's not a week or more I won't get the feeling of resting. If it's only a day off, I would wanted to go elsewhere but normally I didn't do anything.

-- When I got a long break, I usually think about going on vacation, travelling or many other things. This brake time (after the Spring tour this year) [He meant after 'Mother of Love, Mother of Hate' Tour - myrrh] is the time that we must compose songs for the next album, so we did that. But I normally can't do things as planned ne. Sometimes I got an idea like "Tomorrow I'll do this." but I always ended up doing some other things that interested me more.

-- Noemally I like staying at home. So whenever I got a day off I try to be home, to balance it with normal time. Because my ordinary routine is rehearsal, play, then record. Therefore when I get a day off I'd like to do more 'normal' life style ne.


.: P - Photo :.-- Now I enjoy being in a photo shooting ne. It's different how you're shot by each photographer. It's fun. I just start to feel this way lately. Before now, getting a photo session dome must always race with the time. And usually there would also be an interview session along with photo shooting, that meant I couldn't stop [and rest] even though I wanted to. Nowaday, I got some feeling like "I'm in a photo shooting ne." Previously I would think about how would I post, is it the same style, the same feeling in the eyes or not. But lately it became just be myself. "Myself at that moment."

.: Q - Question :.-- Actually there is no 'cool' questions to think so hard about ne. Like "Why there is time?" Or something like that. (laugh) But though there is some question to think, it's not those headache-bringing type. Just got some saticfaction like "Ah~ Is that so?" When I start thinking, if it bothers me too much I'll head right to bed. (laugh)


.: R - Respect :.-- Takigawa Ichiro-san (CRAZE's guitarist) When I first saw him I was only in Junior High. I was stunned, couldn't find words to say. All I felt was "Kakoii~". At that time Ichiro-san still with DE'RLANGER with he looked so good. I got so many inspirations from him, both guitar playing styles and the performance on stage. My aim was "I want to be a kakoii man like this!". I really respect him as a musician and a human being ne. [kakoii = smart, looking good. - myrrh]


.: S - Sport :.-- I don't hate sports, I just don't like practicing or rules of the club. I used to play baseball when I was in primary school. I didn't play so well but I got into the school's team. The atmosphere was very dull, had no freedom and very un-comfortable. So even now when talking about sports I always thing about those club rules more than the sports itself. I'm really not good at sports that gave some oppressive atmosphere like that. But right now I like watching F1 racing ne.


.: T - Tears :.-- I rarely cry in front of other people. No matter how happy or sad I am, there would be no tears. I don't like others to see me crying. But in contrast, when I'm watching movies or television the tears always run out easily. When other see me, even though it's not a very sad scene but there's tears in my eyes. So you can say I'm both emotional and forbearence person. Very strange, huh? (laugh)

.: U - Unbelievable :.-- There are many things I hate so much that I don't want to believe it exist in this world. Like those seeding-like food. I don't know how people eat them deliciously. Salmon roe, sea urchin,.. I hate them. Just look at them makes me feel bad. I don't like them at all. It's no way I will eat those!


.: V - Voyage :.-- I like travelling. But there was one time I felt so sad travelling alone. It was when my friends and I decided to go to an island in Izu. But it turned out that I had to follow my friends to that island on a boat alone. I was very lonely. I remembered thinking only "Why can't I reach the island sooner?"

-- When I finally reached there, all friends were waiting for me at the pier. I felt so happy and I thought "It's very good to have friends." (laugh) Lately I went abroad, especially if it's a warm place I'll like it more. [Inoran had said in some interviews about his journet to Thailand with his traveling mate, Takuya (Judy and Mary). And some people said they spotted him at Phuket (Thailand's most famous beach) couple times - myrrh]


: W - Wake :.-- Waking is nice ne. I'll move my body [out of bed - myrrh] right after I'm awake. It won't take me long to get up after I'm awake. There won't be those moody feeling or something like that. Just .. it's hard for me to be awake. I'll sleep like the death when I'm tired and I won't wake up even the alarm clock is ringing. I can get up and shut down that clock even when I'm still sleeping. So when I have to wake up so early I would set up several alarm clocks.

-- When I'm awake. The first thing I'll do is smoking. Actually, I also smoke before going to bed. I think my day starts with cigarrette, and end with cigarrette ne. (laugh)


.: X - X'Mas :.-- Yeah.. Christmas will be here soon. White Christmas is good. But I have no experience about it.


.: Y - Young :.-- Everyone have ages, right? (laugh) There are people who look older than they are and those who are contrast with them. When I was people around 45 drink so heavily. Drinking even into the night, I thought "They're so young ne."


.: Z - Zero :.-- Erm... I don't think I really know where is the start. I just feel that I'm not even there yet. And right now I'm still in the journey to the starting point. I still don't know about that.
