Rock Fujiyama!
-
Alright, welcome back to Rock Fujiyama!
-
Let me introduce you to our lovely guest from the band Gacharic Spin, Tomo-zo!
-
Hell yeah!
-
It's been a while!
-
What's your relationship with Marty?
-
Gacharic Spin was invited to Marty's gig as a guest and we had a session together.
-
But I don't remember what song it was.
-
It was Marty's song.
-
It was my song?
-
Thank you very much.
-
What made you want to become a guitarist?
-
I've loved singing since I was a kid.
-
I loved a group called Puffy.
-
I used to sing with my friends.
-
Puffy?
-
P-P-P-Puffy?
-
P-P-P-Puffy.
-
I used to sing a lot.
-
Did your parents also like music?
-
My father liked Led Zeppelin.
-
My mother listened to Carpenters.
-
Wait a minute.
-
Wouldn't a couple who play Led Zeppelin and the Carpenters get into a fight?
-
That's right.
-
Yes, we've been getting along fine.
-
All right, and that's great, that's Japan.
-
What made you want to become a guitarist?
-
When I was in 5th grade,
-
Whiteberry, a girl's band, became popular.
-
And I admired them, so I decided to form a band with a group of girls I was close to.
-
At first, I wanted to sing.
-
I liked singing, but there was another girl who wanted to do it,
-
so I broke down and became a guitarist.
-
That's unusual.
-
Originally, everyone wanted to play the guitar.
-
So they would look for someone to sing.
-
There was no one to play the guitar.
-
So I decided to become a guitarist.
-
In most girl bands, the bassist is not the leader.
-
There may be many.
-
Is that so?
-
The guitarist is the most serious person.
-
Please write why that is in the comments.
-
I've never heard of it.
-
To play the guitar, you don't let your nails grow long.
-
It's a difficult thing for a woman to go through.
-
Do you have any bitter memories like that?
-
But I didn't have much resistance to cutting my nails.
-
I was addicted to playing the guitar.
-
So I was hooked on it for a long time and never stopped practicing.
-
But I ended up falling into the hell of F (chord).
-
The hell of F?
-
Can you play F now?
-
Yes, I can.
-
Let's play F.
-
I did it.
-
That was a good F.
-
Thank you.
-
Do you remember the first song you copied?
-
Yes.
-
It's Whiteberry's Summer Festival.
-
That's a good song.
-
Oh, that's great.
-
It's like a lot of songs.
-
If you don't say Whiteberry, it's like a Ventures song.
-
They are similar in many ways.
-
It's a song with a lot of good elements.
-
That's right.
-
Why did Tomo-zo made her debut as an artist?
-
Yes, in my character setting, I'm from Nicoline star,
-
but I'm actually from Nagano prefecture.
-
When I moved to Tokyo, I wanted to form a band from here.
-
It all started when I auditioned and joined an all-girl band when I was in my first year of high school.
-
In the first year of high school?
-
Yes.
-
I joined the band and made my debut when I was 19 years old.
-
What was the name of the band?
-
It's Eu-phoria.
-
Remember that.
-
It's Eu-phoria.
-
You came to Fujiyama.
-
That's right.
-
You auditioned?
-
That's right.
-
Were you commuting from Nagano?
-
I attended school for a year, then moved to Tokyo in my second year of high school and lived on my own.
-
What changed the most when you turned professional?
-
What has changed...
-
You can get money.
-
I was just thinking about that, and wondered if I should say it.
-
I was waiting for you.
-
I was grateful that I didn't have to work part-time anymore.
-
You are active in a band called Gacharic Spin.
-
What does Gacharic Spin mean?
-
Gacharic Spin is a is a coined word,
-
but it means spinning at high speed with clattering music.
-
We made it so that it can be called Gachapin for short.
-
I see.
-
Did you get any complaints from the head office?
-
It's safe for now.
-
We've been doing it for 14 years.
-
Let's start with Marty.
-
He has a question for Tomo-zo.
-
Tomo-zo spins the guitar with the strap on her body.
-
When I saw the live video, I couldn't believe how cool it looked.
-
It was so fast, smooth, and cool.
-
Could you show me?
-
Of course.
-
I saw it, too.
-
Thank you.
-
I was surprised to see that you were spinning from this side.
-
Yes.
-
Isn't it usually the other way around?
-
It's safe to go this way.
-
It's safer to go this way, but it's more difficult to go this way.
-
I'd like to see it.
-
Yes, please.
-
Can I see it?
-
Is it okay in this space?
-
Yes, I think it's okay.
-
How much space do we need?
-
This area is safe.
-
Wait a minute.
-
Marty, clear.
-
I'm sorry.
-
Can you spin Paul Reed Smith?
-
It's impossible.
-
Manly.
-
It's expensive.
-
I put a lot of duct tape on it to make sure it doesn't fly away.
-
Really?
-
Is the tape okay?
-
Yes, it's okay.
-
Do you have a strap lock?
-
This is just duct tape.
-
It's just duct tape?
-
Let's spin it.
-
I'll do it.
-
Please.
-
It looks like it's really going to fly.
-
It was perfect.
-
It's so cool.
-
It doesn't get caught in the hair.
-
It even has a mic pack.
-
Were you able to do that from the beginning?
-
I couldn't do it at all.
-
At first, I practiced while wearing a helmet.
-
How many casualties did you have?
-
It was okay.
-
Without a casualties?
-
I had a casualty at the rehearsal.
-
Is this the only one?
-
Yes.
-
That's totally fine.
-
This is the honor.
-
Did you practice with this?
-
This is the real thing.
-
You had a casualty, didn't you?
-
It's cool.
-
Thank you.
-
It's hard to believe, but it's amazing.
-
Next, Marty.
-
It's finally here.
-
It's a special session corner.
-
Let's do it.
-
This time, we received a request from Tomo-zo, who wanted to play a song by Scanch with Rolly.
-
It's a band I've heard before.
-
Oh that's right, I'm in it!
-
Tomo-zo's father liked Scanch as well as Led Zeppelin.
-
When I started playing the guitar, he told me about an album called Opera.
-
He said it was cool.
-
This is the real thing.
-
This is the real thing.
-
Thank you.
-
Can we do my favorite song by Scanch "Marie Lou in Love"?
-
Marie Lou in Love.
-
Thank you.
-
Let's do it.
-
Well then.
-
ROCK FUJIYAMA MEETS TOMO-ZO SPECIAL SESSION.
-
Marie Lou in Love.
-
Take it away, Rolly.
-
Skanch vocalist Rolly is 60 years old.
-
Congratulations.
-
Rolly celebrates turning 60 years old.
-
But there are also plans for a celebration concert?
-
I'll be playing at the Akarenga Warehouse in Yokohama for three days.
-
It's amazing.
-
Tchaikovsky, Mussorgsky, and Stravinsky.
-
Almost all of them are classical pieces.
-
Are you going to play?
-
Yes.
-
It's very interesting.
-
Isn't it difficult?
-
It's very difficult.
-
That's amazing.
-
I'm looking forward to it.
-
Thank you.
-
Tomo-zo, thank you for your participation in Rock Fujiyama.
-
Thank you.
-
I was able to have a session with the two of them.
-
I was able to smile from the bottom of my heart.
-
It was fun. Thank you.
