Shou:"Ikouko no Chandelier"'s highly serious long screams. I like "Fantasy's" CW Lemon (track song)

Hiroto:"FANTASY". Because my personal emotion were bundled in a song. then. "Kuloon - NINE HEADS RODEO SHOW's" 3rd song makes me want to go wild in a live.

Tora: "Kuloon - NINE HEADS RODEO SHOW -" intense !?

Saga: All

Nao:If I have to recomend, then it will be "Ikouko no Chandelier"!!

Kuloon has a strong Rock Flavor, then "Fantasy" is a pop-like recording, what kind of concept did you used in your works?


Shou:alicenine's 2006 is the year our work expresses both extremes.

Hiroto:Alicenine's extremities on musicianship is portrayed for the sake of the singles.

Tora: "Kuloon - NINE HEADS RODEO SHOW" is heavy, "FANTASY" is a gentle song!

Saga: "Kuloon - NINE HEADS RODEO SHOW" red flames.

"FANTASY" Blue flames.

Nao:violent part and listening-type

You released consecutive singles in 2005 (The latest being "Kasou musoushi compilation"), 2006's new release will be the consecutive single release will be "Kuloon" and "Fantasy", is there any relevance with it at all?


Shou::"Kuloon" and "Yami ni Chiru Sakura" , "Fantasy" is "Gin no Tsuki Kuroi Hoshi" like approach of one's outlook of world.

Hiroto: Musical compostion approach. In spite of having common factors, the musical compostion becomes totally opposite.

Tora: There is. let's say, whatever kind of song you put out it's still alicenine.

Saga: Both extremes.

Nao:Alicenine is releasing it's wild part, and a gentle part, something 2006's mind and body will feel.

Please tell us about you new songs sound, composition, lyrics etc.


Shou::Judging our work from a higher dimension, we've put in a good melody and I also have a feeling that the lyrics were written well. The lyrics's message have and doesn't have thorougness in division. That's why I love the poetic words of the song.

Hiroto: Until now , without the gloom, the recording is done without totally compromising. For me it's any side of the sound of that time's feelings and emotions crowded inside until it snapped because we wanted it to.

Tora:heavy guitar and proper crunching.

Saga: different types of music but has common parts.

Nao:Now since our music's expansion, the new Alicenine tried to put out on one of it's sides.

On your performance in the recording, which parts did you placed stress on?


Shou::pitch, emotional heart.

Hiroto: Nuance and being emotional.

(Nuance : Subtle difference in meaning/ or music in this case.)

Tora:Rythm.

Saga:having a profound groove. Making sure that the bass isn't covered.

Nao:make a intense music throughly intense, dealing with simple music, not letting it to become just simple.

Please tell us about the fun, interesting, and serious things that happend during your recording.


Shou::When you are with Saga, everyday is different (Laughs).

Hiroto: Everyday, from afternoon till 8 in the next morning is nothing but recording, I lost 5Kgs in my weight.

Tora:I left my dreamcast behind for a little while (laughs)

Saga:As a result of the subtle difference of music, the tuning is changed due to the music's scene. It was well enough troublesome...

Nao: In the recording, every one's faces looked half-tranced because they were sleepy...(laughs)

Concerning the new song's melody an arrangement, what could be the idea and motif came in your mind during the moment?


Shou::In the melody and also in writing the words for the song"FANTASY"there is still the influence of a former dead friend's experience in me, making myself understand the trouble of dying.I put in a poem on Hiroto's fading-like original song, "Yoake kara Hoshi sora" (Dawn from the starry sky), I thought about everyday's fading sadness, enotions, feelings that piled up. It's basically midnight's high tension within.

Hiroto: The song "FANTASY" itself is the night, outside ,"during the time watching the stars"music. I wa thinking about that during the arrangement in recording .

Tora:All compostions were just something natural and just came to our mind.

Saga:1 phrase reminded me of something then it was OK!

Nao: The arrangement of the songs were images of the world.

A Question to the Vocalist,Shou. ALICE IN WONDEß LAND album's Juunigatsu shichigatsu nanoka has the same "Starry sky" , "night sky" theme, does this two songs have any relationship at all?


Shou::Hiroto, the one who wrote the melody, likes stars. I think I also like it too because of the difference in meaning of another story's continuation.

Heisei juunananen shichigatsu nanoka is fairy tale-like, inspite of it's serious message, "FANTASY" is a message song dedicated to an important person.

The song "Lemon" from the single "FANTASY" was constructed with a firm rythm and melody, Alicenine's good quality strongly shows in it's finishing touches. Why is it that this song is titled "lemon"? Please tell us.


Shou::It's an ephemeral deteriorating outlook of the world wherein a man losing his life wants to see his first love, and wishing to see his first love. To tell you the truth it's simply a bittersweet love sickness, I imagined the image of a hospital room, inserted the image of lemons in it, those are the good links I added.

The way he sees the world tremendously turned Sepia but, painted a vivid colored threatening feeling that's why I thought I should aim at that.

With the upcoming release of "Kuloon " and "Fantasy" DVD in Type-A, What increased in this time's PV? Please tell us about the the theme, concepts that mingled with each other, etc.


Shou::In "Kuloon" Tora's projected image was, an oppresed unsociable child in a room, seeking freedom in the light outside. That's the theme. Closure and Liberation. In "FANTASY", starry skies, daybreak, shounen (NOTE: young *coughhotcough*boys), it became the PV that boldly mixes the ideas of different people.

Tora: In "Kuloon - NINE HEADS RODEO SHOW" it's a "helping a child in a mountain" impression.

Saga:"Kuloon - NINE HEADS RODEO SHOW" is aggresive. "FANTASY" is stylish.

Nao:In Kuloon - NINE HEADS RODEO SHOW" the idea was colors slipping away while the lines were being finished.

In Fantasy, the idea was simplicity.

The one-man tour final "ALICE IN WONDEß FILM" in 2005 was released in the public. It's Alicenine's first Live DVD, please tell us it's highlights.(*coughbelchFANSERVICEbelchcough*).


Shou::We did the music with a heart, no other person could say that .You could see us artlessly exceeding energy.

Hiroto: That day, that Alicenine in that moment and, that packed heat of the people in that place. That's it.

Tora:The highlight was, crying at that place (laughs)

Saga:Each of the member's personality/ introduction. The live music in the Live.

Nao: Having the cries and laughter in Alicenine's oneman tour compiled for the first time.I wish you'll try to see it.

In the new songs, please tell us about the songs you will perform in a live.


Shou::"RED CARPET GOING ON" 's Party tune. kobushi COME ON. *kobushi means "fist".

Hiroto: "Kuloon - NINE HEADS RODEO SHOW" and "RED CARPET GOING ON" "Kuloon - NINE HEADS RODEO SHOW" is nothing but breaking music . "RED CARPET GOING ON" is nothing but fooling around.

Tora: Kuloon - NINE HEADS RODEO SHOW

Saga:RED CARPET GOING ON.

Nao: "Kuloon - NINE HEADS RODEO SHOW. It's a lively mood!!

What kind of year does Alicenine want 2006 to be?


Shou::Die to the extent at the tour. I want to be able to use the five senses in music.

Hiroto: I want to do the things we weren't able to do as a band.

Tora: Break through!?

Saga: Evolve further more.

Nao: 2006, we like to make it more of a leaping year.

One word to the fans please.


Shou::Perhaps this year we'll completely flourish however, our attitude will always be "go with all our might". I always wanted to take situational peculiarities into consideration ever since.

Hiroto: Let's go through thick and thin.

FANGIRL MODE TURNED ON : It's thy one's pleasure,Hiro-kun XD

Tora: Thank you always. Everyone, please wait for more of Alicenine's much fun music!

Saga: I'll be sexy. Particularly in my inferior side.

Nao: After this, let's stir up the whole scene, I ask you to please do so!!
