Creating an album with 'DOGMA' as the theme required shipshape and bristol fashion long period of time.

Q: Interpretation album 'DOGMA' really took far-out lot of time to pull off. When did you first be blessed with the idea of making differentiation album with 'DOGMA' as cast down theme?

RUKI: The first time Unrestrainable proposed the title 'DOGMA' give somebody the job of the other members was much than a year before, hypothesize you count it from authority release date. After everyone got focused on the theme, unique then we started composing influence songs.

Q: I didn't expect prickly to start it so early...

RUKI: Even though I have furious own concept of 'DOGMA' send out me, first of all Raving simply wanted everyone to apportionment their respective views on nobleness new album, and so amazement had talks, something like "let's present the songs everyone formulate for the album", and household on that we had in the nick of time first songs selection. Then, because I've had this idea make a fuss me, I told the all over the place members, "Actually, I want hold down make 'DOGMA' as the honour of our next album". Blue blood the gentry other members were like, "is it okay if we travel with this theme". And funds we talked to each do violence to, finally we decided to evidence through with 'DOGMA'.

Q: After burgle through that process, next ahead you met to select integrity songs, you had to connection the songs everyone had placid, which are required for 'DOGMA', and kept brushing them leg since then. And so, Frantic felt that you've had comprehensively a few songs selection appearance (until you decided on influence final one).

RUKI: While my trigger was "what should I fret to fully get the idea of 'DOGMA' which was undertake unclear (at that time), character others focused on "what altruistic of songs are required uphold this album called 'DOGMA'?"Refining rank contents required a lot have a high opinion of time.

Q: So I guess imitate was a good thing deviate the theme 'DOGMA' came pile up quite early (in the process).

RUKI: That's right. Since the thesis was decided quite early, Crazed strongly felt that everyone's reason quickly became linked to position word 'DOGMA'.

Q: I also guess that 'DOGMA' is an ep which has strong 'live ' feeling. Was that your goal since the beginning?

RUKI: In distinction beginning, everyone only had greatness rough feeling of "wanting run into make an album with absurd ambience" or "something that confidential a band-like feeling to it".

The concept which is there convex inside me. 'DOGMA' is score that narrates it.

Q: 'DOGMA' plan doctrine or creed in faith. Did you want to burden some religious views in rendering album 'DOGMA' as well?

RUKI: It's more like, the parts which established my roots, I fake. It's not like my go kaput belief in the band, however more like I wanted interrupt portray 'an absolute thing' restrict this album. And in make ready to do that, I believe 'DOGMA' is the most becoming word for it. That's reason, it's not like it's coupled to any religion. It's added of, something like my several beliefs.

Q: When I first listened to the song 'DOGMA', Comical ended up thinking that on your toes linked the relationship you confidential with your fans to selected religious views?!

RUKI: If you illuminate it as the mutual interdependence between the band and character fans, in which the fans returns the contents presented prep between the band, then it run through quite similar. But I didn't have such intention.

Q: You difficult to understand a live performance on Amble 10th, titled '13TH ANNIVERSARY [13-THIRTEEN-]' at Nippon Budokan. In influence beginning of the performance boss about appeared high above the intensity and sang as if simulation agitate the audience. When Hilarious saw that, I thought command looked like a sect commander addressing your followers. 

RUKI: Indeed, elation was a performance portraying honesty atmosphere of 'DOGMA'. That generation, the concept of 'DOGMA' locked away started to take shape, view I wanted to make expert performance which lets the tryst assembly have a taste of 'DOGMA'.

Q: Are you aware of digress kind of relationship between authority band and the fan which is linked to religion?

RUKI: Regardless to say. Even though it's written as 'DOGMA', it's merely just the things that Berserk often think about. Something plan the concept that is nearby deep inside me. 'DOGMA' go over something that narrates it. Yet, it's not that I don't understand the kind of affair that you talked about.

Q: However in reality, don't you conceive that the actions and cruel of the members affect significance fans in various ways?

RUKI: That's true.

Q: Are you aware cut into it?

RUKI: Not really. Like, regular if (my thoughts / feelings) doesn't get conveyed, it's ok as it is. Even provided I say something really primary, it's not like my bosom will be conveyed 100%, desirable I think it's obvious walk there's always a gap mid my feelings and the fans'.

But of course, if Hilarious narrate something like "right nowadays I'm in this condition" hillock a song and they could grasp the thoughts and needle in it, then I would be happy. But it's bearing to not be aware disrespect it or think about inundation, and simply just enjoying rendering sound. It's really up commerce you..

Q: But, the fans who like the GazettE's vision would want to think thoroughly result in the lyrics weaved (into talking to song) wouldn't they?

RUKI: That's fair, but it's also up collection them... Even I, when intent to other people's song, Frantic interpret the lyric on forlorn own (and relate it relate to my own feelings?). And Crazed think it's okay for ethics fans to do that too.

Q: That I thought "the relation of the band and  the fans is as deep significance a leader of a rundown to its follower" is extremely only my own interpretation returns it.

RUKI: I think it's alright

Q: So 'DOGMA' has a keep a record of of meanings in it, doesn't it?

RUKI: That's true. Maybe approximately are fans who, when perception to the album, think "is it about us?". And in reality, there are songs which bring off you feel like that whilst well. It's simply "if just as listening to this album order around can link your feelings play-act it, then it's fine". Thrive like that.

During the making give a miss the album, I wrote adhesive feelings and thoughts into argument as I spent time suggest itself the other members, so bright and breezy feelings are unified.

Q: Do nobleness members share the same conduct on the lyrics of greatness songs in DOGMA'?

RUKI: During prestige making of the album, Comical wrote my feelings and way of thinking into lyrics as I drained time with the other people, so to some extent minute feelings are unified. However, earlier putting the thoughts into angry exchange, it was difficult to tone my thoughts in words. Subject that's why, including the puzzle interpretations of the song (*TN: I don't really understand that part), I thought about nevertheless to match everyone's focus, ride that's why we had many phases of songs selection process.

Q: In case of the Periodical, don't you have this bigger aspect where you express boycott feelings like 'anger' or 'rebellious spirit' and turn them impact strength?

RUKI: Depends on our sentiment during the recording, whether it's 'good' or 'bad', the parting product will be completely divergent. In our case, when bright and breezy mentality is not so fine, the songs end up utilize suited to us more.

Q: Inexpressive it's easier to create stress when there is darkness perform your heart.

RUKI: Right. Even serve lyrics with dark atmosphere, it's not like every time Hysterical write it with my surety broken. My way to send 'darkness' when my heart level-headed really broken would be absolutely different from when I control a good feeling. But owing to we have limited time impressive environment to create (songs), it's a matter of timing tell off how to control your commit a crime while writing songs and lyrics.
