Ryoga: I have a feeling that it's my turn soon to do the ice bucket challenge.

He's already been nominated! :D

Ryoga: There are lots of live videos on the net of bands who are covering BORN's songs. I have been shown several by fans and watched them. Among them was one where everyone in the first row climbs on the fence and does beautiful headbanging to the left and right. And everyone is in lolita fashion with pigtails. I wonder if this is a concept the fans have come up with ...? A-awesome.

Ryoga: Morover, there's the band's frontman who stirs these lolitas up by shouting at them "Are you up for this? Give me more!". The lolitas respond by shouting back "Woooossha!" violently. Well well, they couldn't be up for this any more. Yeah, they're totally willing. My opinion of lolitas with pigtails is changed now.

Ryoga: But they vocal's shouts are amazing as well. Yeah, I can't lose [against him]! Ryoga: Climb on the fence!!

Ryoga: When the fans in the first row climb on the fence, they're about the same height as the band members. That's like an o-miai*. If you guys would do that while I am on stage, I would certainly start to laugh, so it's banned from BORN lives, ok? Well, if you would do that to me I probably wouldn't remember anyway. If there was a head in front of me, I would punch it intentionally.
[* An O-miai is an arranged meeting of two families intending to marry their son or their daughter to each other, in order for the would-be-couple to get to know each other.]

Ryoga: Ah, if you do it on a fence in the back and not the front, it's fine. But if there was a head directly in front of me I would start to laugh.

Ryoga: First of all, thanks to all the bands doing covers of our songs. So that you will think "I want to do many more covers [of BORN songs]" I will produce more good songs in the future. RADICAL HYSTERIA is very popular, strangely enough. I'm grateful for that.

@kyoga_0715: When there's a session event with many bands, I hear it about 4 to 5 times a day! Everyone doing a session band has probably already done it at least once!

Ryoga: T-that's too many times. And I also want to do covers.

Ryoga: Instead of boasting about oneself, how about showing just a little tiny bit of honest kindness? This kindness will be awared by great happiness.
