Read Part I Here.

Read Part II Here.

Part two is up, we’ll be taking a break for a few weeks before we start on the next one.

It’s hard to believe that 7 months since the very first interview we posted (Maya x Tatsurou). I remember that first interview took 10 months! Of course, we blame Tatsurou and the ornate metaphors he loves to use. <_< ….I’m happy we’re starting to become much faster. Rock and Read has become my favorite magazine since it goes so much deeper than just the music. I have honestly learned more about Maya and Aiji in these two interviews than I have in the 7-8 years I’ve been following them. 

Having searched the internet I couldn’t find anyone who was doing their longer interviews. Having done 2 now, I can see why. I certainly would not recommend this to anyone who does not have an expert understanding of Japanese or (in my case) the assistance of a native speaker who has kept up to date with the lingo. My reading and comprehension has definitely made a huge leap. Thumbing through some of the other interviews I was surprised at how much I could understand on my own. That said, I am happy to be filling this particular gap. Doing this has become one of the most rewarding experiences. 

I hope to get faster and at this, my interviews are starting to pile up! @_@ 

Anywho…new mag next time Shoxx vol. 243 Aiji x Ryuutarou.
