That I met Toshi is
about 20 years ago. I have never seen a rocker until now who is so
much a rocker. He still has common sense but knows what it means to be
a rocker and that has again a special impact. |
hide means avant-garde!
Sometimes he is a cute little boy, sometimes he is even boring! He has
lots of mysterious moods. But he is so kind! He takes care about
people. But even though, why is he sometimes exploding like that?! (laugh) |
He does not take care
a bit about what others are doing. He is a super-my-pace- person. And
in principle he is pretty lazy. If you tell him sit down over there,
he will probably sit there forever. He is the resting point within X,
but also the biggest anarchist, I guess. |
He is also an
avantgardist and an anarchist. He has a very subtle side and a very
crazy side. He believes in human beings but when he gets betrayed he
really freaks and destroys everything. But he really thinks a long
time about it before he does that. |
Toshi
says: |
Our actress? (laugh)...
isn't he? I know him for a damn long time but indeed he is an
incredible guy. I never sang to other drums than his until now, I
guess, which is damn hard! |
X |
hide is a monster! (laugh)
He turns into a monster when he is drunk for sure. Usually he is such
a nice guy. But you have to make sure he isn't drunk before you ask
him something serious. |
Our Buddah. He's lazy
though. He's pretty stubborn. But I think this kind of character is
very good. But one day he is gonna drink himself to death I'm sure.
Take care of your body ne! (laugh) |
Our youngest. Our
naughty boy. He is pretty self-centered but somehow he is the most
manly of us all. |

says: |
"he can do everything
if he wants to" that's what I think about him. He appeared on the
scene when I already thought of quitting music. And now he made my
life an absolute mess! (laugh) |
A rocker after all. (laugh).
But his life style is very normal. If we freak he cleans up the mess
and gives us the energy back. He is our reservoir. |
X |
Pata is like a cat.
Even if everyone around him is going crazy he sits there with that "it-hasn't-
anything-to-do-with- me" face and goes on drinking his Sake. But I
think there are a lot of things hidden inside of him. One day they
might explode. No, probably he'll never explode (laugh). |
He's the critical
arranger of X. And he is the best basist in Japan! When I met him the
first time he was still an amateur, but now he is absolutely best. I
am proud that I manage to keep up with him when it comes to playing in
the band! (laugh). |
Pata
says: |
Don't hurt yourself
all the time! |
When it's just the
two of us it always becomes a stand-up comendy. He is the one who
blames, I am the one who takes the blame (laugh)! |
He is a strange guy
but somehow we are big friends. He is the one I'm going drinking with. |
X |
The boss of the bad
boys. Wicked to the bones! (laugh) |
Taiji
says: |
Our Oyabun (Yakuza
boss)! Our boss! The fastest drummer ever! Gripping us all! |
What kind of a guy is
Toshi?! (laugh) All right, he is the guy who creates the mood in X.
And he is the normal guy. The common sense rocker. When he is talking
and someone else enters the room the story always goes gradually the
wrong way (laugh). |
He is like my elder
brother. He is so terribly kind! I often discuss serious things with
him (laugh). Listen to me next time as well please! (laugh) |
Lazy! Like a piece of
meat! (laugh) But his heart is at the right spot! (laugh) |
