2011.07.23 by NATSUMI

For all GIRLS who are fans of TH, sorry to have kept you waiting. I will now post the interview of TH, which is done when thay came to Japan for the VMAJ show last month. Due to the limited 10-minute time, I could not ask all the questions collected from Blog and Twitter, but the 4 lovely boys tried their best to answer the questions.

On June 24th, although I was preparing the ELLEgirl NIGHT, I decided to interview TH anyway. Here I would like to thank the staff for your concern.

Here are Gustav, Bill, Tom, Georg from the left. I thought they got jet lag, but actually they looked very fresh when they entered the interview room.

 --The interviews you guys took before have made a stir all around the world. The interview was translated into, of course, English, and also French, Thai, Russian and other languages, and put on web. There are also comments written in English, French and German in my blog.

Bill: (very glad) Yeah, that’ so amazing, right? It’s unbelievable.

--This time I told fans I would interview TH, so in recent days I received a large number of questions from Uruguay, Russia, Italy, China and etc. Fans all over the earth want to ask you questions. They wrote something like this: if you would come to Japan, we hope you come to Kyusyu; or we hope you can come to Uruguay or Moscow. They all hope TH can come to their local place.

Bill: I see. We’d love to. All the fans keep eyes on your blog, right?

--Yeah, I think that network between TH fans is great.
Well, let’s get started. Let’s see how many questions you can answer.
Did you search for your favourite place or store in Tokyo? (From KANA)

Bill: To be honest, we don’t have opportunities to look around or even free time. Especially this time we just stay for 2 nights.[*actually,they stay for 4 days 3 nights] We spend all our time on interviews or shows (rehearsal and activities included), so we don’t have any chance to ramble around. But in the first visit to Japan, But when we first got to Japan, we had 30 minutes of free time, so I checked some beautiful and fashionable people.

--Where is it? Harajuku or Shibuya?

Bill: Yeah, it's great. I had gone to some fashion stores. So, I would like to come to Japan and go around leisurely when I have a holiday next time.

Because of the limited time, we kept on the interview. The interview was held on June 24th, on the day when they held their acoustic live in Audi showroom, the day before VMAJ.

the 4 guys were relaxing in the waiting room before the event in Audi. 

--Here's a question form a girl,who wears Yukata in today's event: Do you like Kimono and Yukata? (From Sindy)

Bill: Really? We like it. (Eyes shining) Last time we received Kimono as presents. Every morning we woke up in Kimono.
[*actually, I think that what Bill received is Yukata, insteand of Kimono. Firstly, it is very difficult to wear Kimono, and it is not confortable to wear Kimono and sleep. Secondly, Kimono is kind of expensive.But the original text is written as Kimono, so here I translated as Kimono.]

Tom: Last time I took a picture with two girls in Kimono.

Bill: Yeah, yeah.

--But if you wear Kimono in the show, it must be different style with your songs.

Bill: Hahaha. That’s right. Maybe we have to prepare some black Kimono with rivets.

Tom: (Laugh) Georg may wear Kimono tomorrow in VMAJ.

Georg looks like to say no with a cool smile.

-- Please tell us what kind of feeling you guys want to express in the performance of tommorow's VMAJ. As this time, the event is in the form of an aid, which is going to support victims in the Great East Japan Earthquake. (From yukari, TH55 and KANA)
Bill: The meaning of 'aid' is of couse important. We really appreciate the opportunity of taking part in this activity. I think that It is really cool for MTV to take the lead in this aspect. The successive aids are quite important. People unite and donate for the victims is also important. We really want to be one part of them and support them, so it’s our honor to perform in VMAJ tomorrow.
