It was an opportunity to acknowledge that I probably won’t change from now on, either, and that the essence of what I want to say exist in these songs. The first song we included in the set, “Ondosa,” is one we had since before our debut, but the way I feel and think really hasn’t changed.
Kawakami: Regarding the lyrics, I felt that what I say basically hasn’t changed. I was able to enjoy it from a listener’s point of view. “Kill Me If You Can” has that little twang in the end, which I’d forgotten all about because I’ve played it so many times in concert. Isobe: I felt that a lot of these songs now thrive as live renditions. On one of them, “For Freedom,” our previous drummer Hiroki Ishikawa is playing on the recording, so it was fun looking back, like, “Oh yeah, Isshi used to sound like this, remember?” Shirai: We mixed some of the tracks over again. Though I’ll continue on outside the band in the future, when I listen to this album, I get excited thinking about what the band will do next. Shomura: Each track reminded me that I enjoyed life so much back then and that I lived so earnestly. What did you feel while you were producing the album, or when you actually listened to its lineup? We’ve selected some good gateway songs, so it’d be great if people like them and then decide to delve further into our other works from there. Kawakami: Since we’ve released seven albums over the course of ten years, we thought that perhaps new fans would find themselves at a loss as to which one they should listen to first when they feel like checking out our catalog before coming to a show.
You all strike me as guys who don’t dwell on the past as a matter of principle, so your greatest hits album came as a surprise. Japanese Rockers ALEXANDROS to Release New 'Godzilla' Theme Song, 'Pray'
