Kagrra, All about Fan Club Event! / Personal Q&A
All contents published here (articles, photographs, voice data, and images)
are not allowed to be used for acquisition or reprint in any reason or occasion without permission.
First of all, I'mnot a big fan of yours, I just like you. I like your music, this subtile style of modernity and tradition is really creative and unique. Congrats for all your compositions, they're all great.
My favorite must be "Utakata", for it's beautiful lyrics and atmosphere and also because it will stay forever the theme of JRock Invasion in Cologne. I came there for Alice Nine and you guys played right after them so all the intense emotions they woke up in me were like "saved" inside of me thanks to this song. I wanted to thank you for that.
But the most important thing to me is to congrat Isshi. Man, you are the best Japanese singer ever. I heard your debuts, at the beginning of Kagrra, and I'm really amazed by the evolution of your vocal technics. You know, almost all Japanese singers sing the same way, in an awful way, no matter how beautiful is their voice (Just like Shou, from Alice Nine: beautiful voice but he just can't sing). But you, Isshi, you worked on your voice and learnt how to use it the best! This is why YOU are te best Japanese vocals of your generation.
You can buy Kagrra,'s photos at the same time in the world,
when the new single CD is released.
