I really hope more bands continue doing interviews like this! I find it cool to see a band relaxed and answering questions. It just feels more fun and comfortable to watch.

Love this band. I really appreciate how genuine they are. Their answers are real and transparent, even about things they may not want to discuss certain details about. I'm eager to see some live concert footage from their upcoming show after ther recent long hiatus. Let's go!

Another great band. Thanks for these interviews. Going to check if CDJapan has any of their cd's.

They don't have them unfortunately, but if you follow the link in their video, your purchase will count as sponsorship for the new video!

Just found this. I've been following Dragdown for a few years now. It's good to see them start to get the recognition that they deserve. Thanks for posting this interview, they come across as nice, genuine people.

i hope there will always be space for bands like this to continue to explore their talent and grow - they're very good! I really appreciate these bands' openness to interviews like this and to western audiences in general. Great stuff. Gonna check out Peter's (Band Maid News Network) interview with SAISEIGA now.

These interviews are a great idea, will help people who want to connect with their music. Dragdown clearly appreciated it.

Dragdown clean vocals remind me of really early Exist Trace.

Thanks Ryan. What a cool and friendly band. I ordered their Antisocial EP CD from the link in their latest MV and received an email asking if it was OK if they could put my name in the end credits of their next MV as a sponsor! I immediately replied yes and gave a shout out to yourself and the GGs for highlighting all these talented Japanese bands! Listening to Japanese bands for about 4 years now I don't feel the language barrier as I just treat the great vocals as another instrument and sometimes I feel actually understand! Love these interviews mate! Cheers from Oz!

Another excellent interview, it's awesome to somewhat get to know the bands that you are listening to. Especially bands that aren't as well known. These guy's are awesome, love their sound!!

Good one. Short but informative. I can relate to Kenji about not liking crowds 😅

@cynicalb1939 5 ай бұрын

Nice interview 😊 I'm curious if they're actively looking for a permanent bassist and drummer, or if they prefer how things are for the moment. It's cool that you can go from a first listen, to interacting and interviewing these accessible bands within a week or two. It may give them a little more motivation to keep at it, as well. Good work 👍

@SaikiNoticedMe 5 ай бұрын

I agree with everything you said. Their next live is in about a month and its the first one after a long hiatus but they have been actively working to improve their sound. Im curious if their support drummer will be the same guy from the Gougoku video - he is a beast and it would be awesome to see some live footage from that show uploaded to their channel. Aikoku mentioned on X recently after announcing their live a few weeks ago that things seem to be finally starting to take off for them and I really want that trend to continue.

@Gunkan22 5 ай бұрын

I liked how Kenji answered the question from a business standpoint of why he makes all the instrumentals and then how Aikoku will add the vocals and how this keeps their costs down.

@SaikiNoticedMe 5 ай бұрын

This is a good observation and equally fair to the band to point this out.

@@SaikiNoticedMe Im pretty sure Dicodec Alan said that they use the same drummer and bassist for support on their live recordings but I like the behind the scenes practicality to that answer. Good stuff Ryan.
