KOPY: This song is released on a label called “TAL” in Dusseldorf, Germany, and it was remixed by a DJ named Elena Colombi, so it’s like a deconstruction of my song. Takano: After listening to this, I think everyone is wondering about KOPY’s music. I think I move on my own, so there are times when I move in a strange way. When I used to be in a band, I used to get really nervous and wonder how people would look at me. I used to think a lot about how I would look, or how cool I would look if I played the guitar like this. But as I get older, it doesn’t matter anymore. Takano: Are you conscious of the movements of your performance? I want people to feel that way, so I try my best in every possible way, but I wonder what people think about it. When I go to see a live performance, I am also moved by it. KOPY: I want the audience to enjoy the live performance and go home. I listen to pop music at home, like Spitz.Ĭeleina: So you absorb music from various sources.Ĭeleina: Do you have any particular points of interest when you perform live? KOPY: I often go to clubs and listen to techno music, and I like this song. TAKANO: Do you get any inspiration for your songwriting? KOPY: No, I’m just saying that I have to work harder. You cherish your inspirations.Ĭeleina: So you do things as you feel like it. TAKANO: It’s like you don’t even know what you’re doing (laughs). KOPY: It’s like you don’t know what you’re doing (laughs). TAKANO: It’s interesting to hear all the different sounds in there. KOPY: I made drums by myself, put in something like a bass guitar, and something like a keyboard. KOPY: I write songs at …… randomly (laughs). And then the band broke up, so I started working as a solo artist. That’s fun! I was doing it in parallel with the band. And I thought, “I can do everything by myself. But along the way, it would become like the influence of my boyfriend ……, I guess (laughs).Ĭeleina: So, did you start to change your musicality? KOPY: The band was a fluffy band of five girls, like a regular shoegaze band. Takano: I’ve been listening to some of your works, and your current musical style is “electronic solo project,” with synthesizers and a bit of noise.Ĭeleina: What made you change from a band sound to a solo sound? It was like we didn’t need another guitarist (laughs). KOPY: We bought a guitar, but at the festival, we just pretended to play the guitar.Ĭeleina: So the whole band is not an air band, but just you? Takano: Pretending to play air guitar (laughs). I really wanted to be a vocalist, but there were two other vocalists, so I thought I’d pretend to play guitar just in case (laughs). Takano (MC): What instrument did you play in the light music club? KOPY: My starting point was the light music club in high school. The starting point was air guitar in the light music club in high school.Ĭeleina (MC): KOPY-san, since you are a musician, I would like to start by asking you about the beginning and origin of your musical activities. The source of my strong energy is Sexy Zone.The starting point was air guitar in the light music club in high school.
