[interview] Ryoga & Mamo @ barks

Short conversation from here between Ryoga and Mamo about the BORN x R-shitei 2-man.
Enjoy~
Please don't repost, thank you (・ω・)

Mamo: I want to do it again.

Ryoga: Yeah. It being our first twoman, it felt unexpectedly free. Being beat-up in the end was nice. Since we do have mutual fans and we have known each other for a long time I knew we would get along well. I am glad we were accepted so well.

Mamo: I only saw about half of BORN's live from the side but I thought we couldn't win against such a heated atmosphere. Our maximum was when we played "Saba (RADICAL HYSTERIA)". That was really the top!

Ryoga: Really? I thought "Yanderu kanojo" [Sick girlfriend] was a really good song. You know, I think that R-shitei is kind of a kirakira ["sparkling"] band, but when you started out, your band image was much darker, so even now you sing about these harsh things. I think that's quite an extraordinary style for a band.

Mamo: We actually aren't kirakira, but I wonder if we seem like it?

Ryoga: Yeah. You scream things like "Shooout" and stuff. We don't do that. In the past we told our fans "we hate stuff like tesensu and saki", so they only do kobushi and headbanging even now. By the way, speaking of being sick, are you worried about anything right now, Mamo?

Mamo: I've been worried sick since I was born.

Ryoga: And what's it you're worrying about?

Mamo: Right now it's wanting to sell more. Be more popular. How about you?

Ryoga: I'm also worried sick. Because everything goes up and down violently. I'm fine when I'm together with everyone, however, especially when I'm alone I'm thinking about stuff like "I should quit making music". Well, that's extreme. I get angry at myself for not being enough. There's also KIFUMI who has retired, so there were many ups and downs for us. However, since I lose my way on regular days, I won't lose it on live days because I'm all tense/nervous. I saw R-shitei's rehearsal today I thought "Wow, these young guys know how to have fun". I don't try to flatter you, but you're really good. I think that R-shitei is like an insane idol band.

Mamo: That's a new representation. But you're right.

Ryoga: Your fans throw you hearts and do saki but compared to your crazy music, these reactions looks like irony.

Mamo: Well I guess the insaneness of our fans is unbeaten, right. Well but, even though we played "Saba" today and were "flattered" by BORN's fans, when we asked who would come to our Zepp performance in Sapporo, no one replied. That was a little downer (laugh).

Ryoga: Eh. Really? I see...... [...] Of course. You also have a live tomorrow, right. [...]
[sorry, I will add this part later when I'm at home, I'm currently at work and can't really concentrate >_>]

Mamo: Yeah. BORN will also be on tour soon, right. Do your best! We will certainly perform together again!
