Entrevista del reportatge traduïda a l'anglès: Bravo: Strify, hello! We all know that Luminor has left the band. Tell us, what has really happen?Strify: Yes, it's true. Luminor left the band because of serious problems with his health. He couldn't stay in band more. It was very hard for him. Everybody understood this. We talk to him but it's not about him, it's about his health. It was very hard physically for him t be on stage.
Bravo: What was his illness about?Strify: I really don't what to talk about it. Mainly, because I have no right to discuss on this topic. If Luminor want, he'll do it by himself.
Bravo: Did you find his replacement already? Maybe Romeo will stay in the band?Strify: No, we even didn't start to find someone yet. Probably, we begin to do it next year. Maybe our managers also will help us to find someone. And about Romeo I don't know anything precisely. This possibility is on discussion level.
Bravo: Tell us what did you feel when Luminor announced his leaving?Strify: Kiro and I we thought till the last moment that Luminor will come after so long break he took a while ago. But Yu and Shin prepared us to the point he'll never do it actually. Anyway, it was his choice, and if he feels better without Cinema Bizarre we completely support him. I've asked him to think about this several times by the way, but seams he decided to go a long ago. Unfortunately there is nothing we can do, and the show must go on!
Bravo: Do you keep your relations with him?Strify: Of course! We constantly get in touch over the phone and by e-mails telling about the last events.
Bravo: And what do you do lately by the way?Strify: We are fully concentrated on our work. There some concerts in December in Italy and Germany plus several Dj-Sets in night clubs. More over we work in the studio a lot, finishing our second album "ToyZ". He'll be released in spring 2009.
Bravo: Explain, why did you choose such name for it?Strify: We choose it not without purpose! It has an ironic meaning which gives more cool look to the whole album. The name is addressed to those people who look at us thinking as we are some wikk-wealed puppets in the hands of all-powered producers. "ToyZ" – this is our daring answer: "Yes, we are toys! The whole life is one big and cruel game. Just don't be under your delusions too much… because you the same toy!" The main idea of the songs would be twisted along with this thought. For example, you can play love-games, we all do this almost every day.
Bravo: And how do you celebrate Christmas holidays? Maybe you have a your party-scenario?Strify: For me Christmas is too much traditional holiday, and, to be honest, I am not a big fan of it. Yes, I like Christmas meal and presents, but the holiday by itself seems to me boring and old somehow. All this sittings at the table get me down. This year I'll be with my parents, as always. By the way, Kiro, Yu and Shin will be at home celebrating too. But at New Year's Eve we'll make a huge party for all our friends! The place where we do such parties usually lies in ruins after that all the time (laughs).
Bravo: Share with us as a secret what presents you prepare for Kiro, Shin and Yu?Strify: Oh, I can't tell you this! All the information will appear over the Internet, and my presents won't be a surprise anymore for them. And I really want to surprise them!
Bravo: Ok, let's talk about some other things. Do you remember Cinema Bizarre visit in Moscow?Strify: Of course I do! You can't just simply forget about it! You have a really amazing city, a big one and chaotic. We were in Moscow for the first time and it impressed us very much.
Bravo: And what did you get with you at home from Moscow? Some girls maybe? 
Strify: Honestly?
Bravo: Suure!
Strify: Vodka! (laugh). But we wanted to take girls too. But I think their parents wouldn't understand this
Bravo: And when will you come back to us again?Strify: This will happen very soon. Our next visit to Moscow is planned in spring 2009. We'll come with a new material and maybe with a bit new membership. But this time no railways! Only airplanes!
Bravo: We can't miss next question for you. Do you have any idea of who is going to be next German sensation all over the world?Strify (thinking): You might be surprised, but I don't have a clue what is going on in German music. I think here are a lot of talents who will show themselves soon… You better ask Yu about that, he likes pop-music. Just don't say it was me who gave him up to you! (laugh).
