Interview

Legend:
―: Interviewer
M: Tak Matsumoto
I: Koshi Inaba

―In the last report, the last thing you did was a photoshooting and then went into a break from November 2008, but were you really on a break?
I:I was in Hawaii all the time.
―What did you do on Hawaii?
I:In the morning I went surfing, and from noon I just relaxed.
―There have also been talks about you two having a meal in a TV show in Hawaii. (laughs)
I:Ah...yeah. (laughs)
M:That was on new year's day.
I:Yes.
―Have you talked about doing this long before the show?
M:Yeah, we already decided we would do it.
―Matsumoto-san, you didn't go golfing in Hawaii this time?
M:I pretty much went golfing every day. (laughs)
―Did you go to your usual place for golfing?
M:No, this time I went to a lot of different golf courses.
―Have you always been in Hawaii during your break, Matsumoto-san?
M:I was attending Gibson's “Dark Fire” announcement event, so I have been there after that was over, after Christmas.
―What kind of guitar is the “Dark Fire“?
M:It's a kind of robot guitar. You can change the tuning with just one switch.
I:That's interesting.
―You were taking a look at the “Dark Fire” at the announcement event, but have you played it already?
M:I played with the guitar, but I haven't used it in recording, so I don't know the Dark Fire's potential yet.
―You two also went to concerts, right?
I:I went to a doa concert in Shibuya. Everybody was having fun. It was really good. I was also meeting the band backstage.
M:I was playing a song as a guest at Amuro-san's and Hamada Mari's concert.
―Have you planned doing this all along?
M:No, it was right before the concert. I just wanted to go see Mari's concert, but then she suddenly convinced me, so I thought let's do it.
I:Masuda Takanobu was at the keyboard?
M:Yeah. Miyawaki “JOE” Satoshi and Yamada Tomonori and the like were there, too. Just like old times. It has been some 20 years since I last played “Blue Revolution”. The end was really great, too~.
―Has it also been some 20 years since you last met the band members?
M:No, that's not the case with Mari-chan, but I don't think I have met her even once during the year.

―On December 10, “B'z LIVE-GYM Hidden Pleasure~Typhoon No.20” was released, and, along with it, a B'z tree was showcased in Hachikoumae, Shibuya.
I:I saw the tree.
M:I've seen it, too.
―The tree changes its lighting at day and at night, which one have you seen?
I:The tree was shining in blue color, so it was at night.
M:I think I've seen it at night as well.
―In the week it was released, B'z balloons have been distributed, have you seen this as well?
I:I've seen it! It was really cute.
