-----I heard that the single <Namida (Tears)> was made during this tour.

[Moriyama] It was presented in the national tour other than CD release. The music was supposed to be brought up during the live, and the translation of the music deepened during the experience of the tour, so gradually you under “this was how the music came into being” by continuing singing. <Namida (Tears)> seems to be the cosmos of this music during the tour… We don’t know where does the tear come and where will it go, actually we can’t determine whether it’s good or bad to have tears. This was what we found when we were singing. Actually you can’t find the answers in the song. We just let that kind of feeling to be heard in our song and that kind of thinking does hide somewhere in our mind isn’t it? Just like we don’t know why we were born, where we go after we’re dead, one day we will find that we’re singing just because we want to express ourselves. Because you know if someday I lie or do something false while I’m still singing this song, it will totally become meaningless. However when my imagination is expanding even further or my heart is in peace, I must be very happy while I am describing this song. During this tour, <Namida (Tears)> was surprisingly grown up. So I finally considered and said to myself, why not release this song? It’s supposed to be put out.

 

------After I listened to the 3 songs, what I felt is that the single clearly reflects something inside of you.

[Moriyama] I think…maybe that is all about it. If you ask me to give an answer with Yes or Not, I will say Yes. This song doesn’t give you an answer, and it’s not an empathy song either, it probably let you hear your own voice from it. If someone could imagine something and feels it’s interesting, that person is an interesting one, however if someone thinks it’s boring at the beginning, I think he just has a very different value of life. So this is the song that doesn’t take sides.
