Lol, Maya's answers are sooo funny. :P The best answer he gave was for the type of women question: "As long as it's alive." LOL XD Wish I could've been there... =\

When asked about their favorite foods: what do you like in your sushi like what kind of fish? maya: i like shellfish.
about the tatoos: maya: im thinking about getting one! Aiji: they hurt so i dont want anymore...
about MAD LM.C: (i dont remeber who said it but i think it was Aiji: we consider those people a different band.
about cosplay: Aiji: i think Captain Tsubasa(?)
about the musical inspiration: maya: if the music is already written then i listen to it and can get inspired by that, if its not then from my experiences, from everyday life.
One that your missing: Q:If you were to lose one of your fingers, would the other fingers be lonely? (rooms explodes with laughter. Aiji stares at his left hand with sudden concern) Aiji: i think if i lost any of my fingers id be lonely...(wiggles his fingers then uses his right hand to tuck his left thumb back) Aiji: well maybe my thumb... (maya just sits staring at his hand and wiggles fingers on the table)

thats all i remeber right now...

Ah I figured it out!
On my question (1) he said that if there is music already made that he goes with that but otherwise he uses everyday life.

14. How do you tune your guitar and sound before shows?:
( Aiji answered but uh, kinda complicated to say, sry )

He said he does C sharp tuning :D The translator was just confused, but I understood him when he was answering me...

I also asked what kind of effects and stuff they use on stage, but they skipped that part of the question, tho it was the main thing T.T

Wow thank you for all this o/

Gahah, oh maya, "As long as it's alive" xD But yeah thanks so much for the translation! ;D

7. If you could cosplay, what would you cosplay?:
Maya: Satoshi (Ash from pokemon)

Aiji said he'd do Captain Tsubasa hehe

10. What’s your favorite American song?:
maya could not think of one/ he forgot the name
Aiji : Frank Sanatra (i forgot the title of the song)

Aiji actually said that frank Sinatra was the first thing he heard when he came to Chicago... So that was what popped into his head. He never quite said it was his favourite.

18. Most memorable childhood memory?:
maya : When my grandma carried me on her back
Aiji : I tried swimming but it never worked out so that is how I got into music

This was actually Aiji's answer when they were asked what they wanted to be when they were kids... Maya said a policeman because he liked the uniforms lol


One question I wish we had asked was about Aiji going to university... I'm really interested to know what he studied, where, and if he actually finished his degree

is this an interview ? :D *sorry i'm idiot*
lol their answers are so cute and funny XDDD
