Subject: To Shinya-san

When editing songs that you've composed, which is easier to edit in? Windows or Apple? Or are you still composing using musical sheets? If there is a difference when using Windows and Apple, please share it with us.

Shinya: Instead of the difference between Windows and Apple, the difference will appear depending on the different softwares that you use so I can't really say which is easier to use but I think the combination of ProTools with Mac is the best/optimum.


Subject: To Toshiya-san

Hello,
I am in charge of the bass in the DIR [EN GREY] copy band.
I want to play the bass standing straight up like Toshiya-san but just supporting it takes a lot of work.
Is there a way to easily play it upright that is related to the strap material or position of the strap pin?

Toshiya: Maybe it's related?


Subject: To Die-san

I also until recently used it but please tell us why Die-san used an onigiri [equilateral] pick and not a teardrop pick!

Die: Simply put, the teardrop pick was too small and kept on flying away. It would be difficult when I am cutting or playing arpeggios if it's not the onigiri [equilateral] shape.


Subject: To Kaoru-san

Because I idolize Kaoru-san I am playing guitar in the band.
By the way I am using Kaoru-san's model, the VP (Edwards)!
The sound is easy to use and since there is also a skull on it, I think it looks awesome and love it!! I also love the included strap and amp!
Because I've come to love the VP that if I were to buy my next guitar I'd want a VP!
I would like to ask if you are interested in creating an original model other than the VP in the future?
Or if you feel that "I will always going forward with the VP!" please tell us about the allure of the VP!

Kaoru: Thank you! My hands are small so I can't really get different kinds of guitars. If there is one guitar that is easy to play then I would want to keep on using it. But there are a lot of guitars I would like to try playing, like V.


Subject: To Kyo-san

What is Kyo-san's current goal?

Kyo: I would like to go further towards a place where nobody can reach as a singer.


Translator's Notes:
The fan was referring to a special set featuring an Edwards model of Kaoru's Viper guitar that included a strap and amp. Kaoru may be referring to the Flying V guitar models
