honeymonsterHere is an e-mail interview I did with Fumio Ito of the Japanese skunk band Kemuri in late 1997. It was supposed to be published in my zine, but I never did another issue..
>What's your plan for touring the U.S.?
We will be touring the US next year. May be beggining of February.
We are so fxxkin' excited to tour the US, you know! That has been our biggest dream for a long time. We are going to have so much fun!
>Speedy Gonzales races the Roadrunner. Who wins?
Road runner wins . I do not know who Speedy Gonzales is, I am sorry! Roadrunner rules.
>Is there a heavy ska scene in Japan?
Ska has been very popular in Japan.We have great bands like, Mutebeat, Skaflames, Tokyo ska paradise orchestra, La-ppisch, and many more. People love Ska so much!
>"Ato-Ichinen" is a really cool song! What does it mean?
It means "one more year to go!" What can we do in one year? We can do so much if we work really hard! That is the theme.
>You're walking in the woods. Who are you walking with?
>Alone, but with my shadow. I will bring a knige with me. I just can not imagine walking in the woods with someone else! I do not know why....
I can hear birds singin. I can hear squerrows running. I see narrow skys but I do not see anyone else around me.
>Is Little Playmate going to be availabe in the average record store, or is it mostly a mail-order thing?
>It is going to be available in the average stores. Like Tower records to Street lights records. I think you can mail order them through Roadrunner records' official home page, too.
>What's your favorite pizza topping?
Uhhh, toughest question I have ever get....I love pizza so much and I respect every single topping, you know. I love plain cheese to gorgeous 10 topping special. oh, I just can not tell one favorite topping. I love 'em all.
>What's a Kemuri when it's at home?
Quiet, lazy, simple and happy sushi eaters.
