DELUHI
from
JrockRevolution.com
Translated from simple English. A lot can't be translated. So it came out numb haha.
There will be errors in typing, all kinds of typos ((＞д＜))
If there are any mistakes, I apologize.(●´ω｀●)ゞ (There are a lot of mistakes haha)
JRR:
Please introduce yourselves to
JrockRevolution.com
For people who may not know you yet
Leda: DELUHI
It's a circle."
Visual-kei”
Formed as a band since January 2008, there are 4 members.
Juri (
singer),
Leda (
guitar),
Aggy (
bass)
and Sujk (
drum)
JRR:
Help define
Deluhi
in 2 words
Leda:
Aggressive and melodious
Sujk:
Heavy and delicate (huh?)
Juri:
Scream, shout!!
Aggy:
Violent and destructive (translated by myself, confused - -^)
(4 people, 2 words each, it turned into 8 different words(￣ー￣；)
JRR:
Why did you choose the name?
DELUHI?
Sujk:
Well...we chose it because it was good. It's like creating a new word.
Leda:
It doesn't have any special meaning. But I focused on pronunciation. People often pronounce middle words with emphasis, like
de-LU-hi ...
We want to emphasize every syllable. (So it came out as
DELUHI
(Large print?) We know it's not the English pronunciation. But pronunciation like this suits us. So we want to call it correctly.
JRR:
Why did you decide to become a band?
visual-kei band
Which conflicts with other options?
Leda:
We think this type of music is the best way to express ourselves.
JRR:
How and when did you first become interested in music and decide it was something you wanted to pursue?
Leda:
I'd been wandering around with an acoustic guitar since I was in high school, but I didn't really pay much attention to it until a friend of mine played me a song by
X Japan
and
Luna Sea
And that's when I became interested in music in general and rock music in particular.
Juri:
When I was about 12 years old, I was influenced by my older brother... I listened to songs by
Glay
And then I was amazed. And at that time I started playing music myself.
Aggy:
A friend of mine came to my house and left his bass in my room. That was one of the first things in the beginning (I secretly brought my bass to play, haha).
Sujk:
I used to like music when I was a kid. And in high school we talked with friends about starting a band or something like that. And I said “I'll play the drums myself.” And oh my, here I am (laughs).
JRR:
How did you guys meet? (The language is starting to become informal haha)
Leda:
It all started when I met you.
Juri
I was looking for a singer and I thought, “Hey.
Juri
Maybe I'm not a singer yet. But he has the ability. It would be cool to form a band with him.”
Then I called him and we formed the previous band.
DELUHI
After that, of course we looked for drummers and bassists and auditioned various drummers. One of them said “You guys are looking for someone to play rhythm instruments, right? I have a friend who is a bass player.” And his friend was
Aggy
And finally this drummer left.
Aggy
Still, we started looking for a drummer again. And we auditioned two drummers and played together.
The second person is
Sujk
Yes, he came to the studio very late. But we tried playing the song together as four people and we thought, this is it! We all thought of it as a group (happy>
o<)
I think it's an inevitable coincidence (or is it fate?)
JRR:
Your latest single is
Jagganath.
Leda:
Yes, but we are about to release
DVD single
name
FLASH:B[L]ACK
On May 20
JAGANNATH, VISVASRIT
and
MAHADEVA
from
trilogy (
Find the translation yourself haha) and the concept of it is The success and destruction of these singles symbolizes and demonstrates the
DELUHI
And they are all very important songs.
JRR:
What is the reason/meaning? What's the story behind your band's logo?
Leda:
First mini album
SURVEILLANCE
It was released in March 2008 and its theme is the word
surveillance
That was our debut and we formed a band and recorded songs at the same time. eye logo means to be under surveillance, surveillance (
surveillance)
and enter letters
D, L
and
H
of
DELUHI
in the logo
JRR:
Filming
PV Hybrid Truth
How are you? Is it fun?
Leda: HYBRID TRUTH
It has now become the national anthem of
DELUHI (
Huh- -?)
It was a deliberate attempt to include many musical characteristics of
DELUHI
into a single song that completely captures the characteristics of
DELUHI
Crammed into a 4-minute song, it progresses extremely fast and hard. We had strong feelings about this song...when filming.
PV
It's fun too. Even though it's really hard (laughs).
JRR:
If you could choose a concert venue. Where would that be and why?
Leda:
I want to go anywhere in the world. If there are fans waiting for us (Come Thaise! He is waiting-3-) Right now we are not distributing our activities abroad. But we are definitely looking into this possibility...I would like to visit many countries.
(In conclusion, Brother
Leda
You probably want to go alone... The other members have all been quiet for a while- -*)
JRR:

JRR:
Where does the inspiration for making music come from?
Leda:
I get inspiration from beautiful landscapes. Not just in Japan But I also enjoy being inspired by looking at pictures from foreign countries. If I go abroad in the future The first thing to do is Look up at the sky and find beautiful landscapes and find inspiration. (Very aesthetically pleasing 5555)
Sujk:
Watch a movie...maybe? (Oh- -') Uh...I was inspired by the fact that my brain was inspired by watching movies (I'm dizzy).
Juri:
I love riding my jellybike (heh~ translated haha) along the coast. I bet there's a lot to inspire you there. (It's like secretly advertising a beach somewhere.)
Aggy:
There's nothing special. I am always inspired by everything around me.
JRR:
Is there anyone you respect?
Leda:
at
SUGIZO, hide and a lion combined together. (
Ah, what?....What did you put together? I can't translate it- -*)
