── First of all, please tell us how you have formed Pium Zika.Kuki: Originally, I was doing another band as a four -piece band.I and I have been active as an original member for about seven years, and after the lead guitar has come out, Higurashi joins, but at that time, "I want to do something different from the current musicality!"I was motivated.So, at that time, I was a guitar vocal, turned into piano vocals and decided to start as a new "Piumjika".Higurai: I changed my musicality (laughs).What I wanted to do with this band was to make music that maximized each member's personality.Kurokyo: Thanks to that, the way of arranging has changed dramatically.When it was 4 pieces, I tried not to disturb vocals and lead guitars by using simple phrases, but since I became a Pium Zika, my degree of freedom has increased dramatically, so it has been moving.So it's very fun now.Kuki: It's a feeling that you have the role of the lead guitar after Kurokuro, while compensating for the roles of the baseline with the left hand of the piano.Nikuro: If you give priority to the flow of songs and melodies in drums, I think that the extreme 8 beats are fine, but I think the fun music is also good.So, in this band, there is a great feeling that such free play is made.── It is important that each of them enjoys balancing musical music while enjoying their individuality.Kuki: I thought the real pleasure of the original band was there.I feel that it is more healthy to make a song as a result of combining phrases that can only be obtained by each of them, rather than each other for the song.で す か Are the six songs (including bonus tracks) recorded in this work the songs made in the last six months?Kuki: Half is a song that arranged what was from the previous band.Kurokyo: They haven't changed the melody, but they are completely different from that time.─ When was the first live as Pium Jika?Kuki: In fact, at the beginning of the event that was planned as a predecessor band, I declared, "We will quit this band and we will do a new band."で す か Do you mean that you showed a new band with a surprise without giving prior notice to customers?Kuroki: That's right.So the dissolution and formation are at the same time.Kuki: I was sorry for the fans, and I was really worried until just before the live.However, if you live a predecessor band here, Higuri will be in a position as a member of Nikuro.I didn't like it.Kurokyo: I wanted to make Higurashi an original member.Hikuri: I'm happy.Kuki: Because I have a strong personality that makes me think so, I and I wanted to stand on the same start line as Higurashi.── I see.However, because I was prepared, I think that I was able to do band activities while having fun with pure feelings, and as a result of my troubles, my decision was not wrong.Kuki: There was a lot of changes in arranging and singing songs, so I had a hard time to adapt.Kuroki: I practiced very personally.Higurai: I think the change was great because the two came to do what they had never done before.However, the producer was also pushed his back because he had the direction of "Let's put his personality fully!"Kuki: I had the producer advise on humanity, but I was told to be a wonderful person.The search for the answer was pretty hard ...
