Revista "ROCKOON" de desembre/ gener 2009:
Premsa Alemanya! 3749399111134

Aquesta revista inclou una entrevista a Cinema Bizarre. Gràcies al Myspace: "English Cinema Bizarre" podem llegir-la al menys en anglès. Aquí deixo la entrevista:

The band was out and about a great deal in the last few weeks. And in doing so got to places no band member had ever been to before. There was a lot to discover and marvel at. Therefore, there's also a lot to tell...

Rockoon: You're done with the concerts in France as well as Italy. Moreover, you've been to Russia for the very first time. How was it?Shin: "Хороший" [= "good"]. To me, it was a completely different world, but maybe that was only due to the strange script that's in use there! A very impressive country!
Yu: It was great! I particularly remember Paris and Riga because I liked the stages and halls there most and had the most fun there. We've been to many interesting clubs. From deluxe catering to candlelight dinner... a few small crawling creatures included... There was a lot to be seen, even if only very shortly from the train or the car. It was amazing.
Strify: Paris is one of my favourite cities, I love being there. Milano was exciting as well. Russia is a lot different from all the other countries in Europe.
Shin: It was all very exciting – I always dreamed of giving concerts in Russia; and now this dream came true and I have to say that I love Russia. I took an immediate liking of Moscow and Saint Petersburg in particular!

Towns like Moscow, Saint Petersburg and Krasnodar were part of your tour schedule. Krasnodar is 1'500 kilometres to the south of Moscow. Weren't these distances extremely long and you could respectively had to experience by yourselves how incredibly big this country is...?Shin: Yes, incredibly big... Guess I've never completed that many kilometres in such a short space of time in my life before.
Yu: As we had to had to drive for more than 22 hours to get from Krasnodar to Moscow, we realised how big it really is. (laughs) We lovingly called it "Mordor", as in Lord of the Rings, since it looked so empty most of the time and therefore reminded us of Mordor somehow. It must be a strange feeling to live in such a big country.
Strify: Some people in our crew are really scared of flying, that's why we agreed to a compromise and took the train too. Once, we were on the train for 22 hours and what we saw outside the window strongly reminded us of Mordor. For hours, there wasn't anything to see but trees, and there were only six villages that had train stops.
Kiro: We took the train for the 22 hours journey from Krasnodar to Moscow, that was a whole new experience to us indeed, the country is huge! On the train, we slept most of the time or drank Russian Vodka. (laughs)

You always get to hear horror stories about domestic flights there. The airports are said to be out of date, and the same apparently applies to most of the planes. What experience did you make?Kiro: That's the reason why we took the train since I am scared of flying myself... And when people tell me such stories, I am even more scared to board a plane than I usually am!
Strify: The airport in Moscow was very big and modern. Other than that we only saw the small one in Krasnodar since we did not use the air routes about which we heard stories that made us feel uneasy. The plane we boarded was as good as all the other planes we usually fly with.
Shin: That's why we only flew once in this country... We were lucky to have chosen an airline that was pretty much okay. The airport in Moscow was great.
Yu: I found it quite okay even if prop airliners can scare the shit out of you and are pretty loud. Most of the time I try to sleep during flights anyway because I get a migraine if I don't and things get unbearable; that's also a way to not pay too much attention to the plane.

And what about sanitary facilities? Were they acceptable for our liking?
Strify: I can say that things are not how people imagine them to be, Russia and Moscow in particular are very western by now.
Kiro: Kinda odd at times, but there are beautiful and less beautiful places and buildings, just like everywhere else!
Yu: So-so. As a man you're lucky to not necessarily have to sit down. As long as there is soap, everything is okay most of the time, but as soon as even the soap is gone, things get critical. (grins)

What do you remember first when you think of Krasnodar?
Kiro: Loads of colourful advertising posters. (laughs)
Yu: The many colourful lights and ads! I even saw a church that was illuminated and decorated like a fun fair in Germany! Totally crazy. (laughs)
Shin: Many fans at the airport and a TV team and a small Korean coach in which we were driven around.
Strify: The airport. And everything else. We never had to deal with paparazzi and the likes before, but now I know how it feels. We arrived – the airport had a coach terminal-feel about it, at least in terms of its size – and there were about 50 girls and a camera crew waiting. We were pretty tired after the journey and were persecuted the whole time.

And how was the show there?
Strify: The stage was very big and the people in the audience were really crazy. They had so much energy and sparkles in their eyes.
Shin: Great! The hall was very big and there were seats for those who couldn't stand standing for so long. (laughs)
Kiro: It was great, the stage was huge! It was our first concert in Russia and we noticed how very welcome we were.
Yu: We had a tight schedule that day which normally lead to the situation to become hectic. Other than that, the pieces of equipment we borrowed for the stage were a little... well, little... We rocked the hall anyway, it was plain nuts in Krasnodar. (laughs)

Isn't it cool that your songs are so well-known in the middle of, sorry, "nowhere"?Yu: In Mordor! (laughs) Yes, it's really cool that our music is so widespread; I think it's quite amazing that it reaches so far, always further, please!
Shin: It's a really cool feeling to play in a strange country and everybody can sing along.
Kiro: That's something I thought about before, it's really incredible what happened so far! I am looking forward to the future!
Strify: It's indeed incredible what can happen in just one year. Three years ago I still went to school, and now I play sold-out shows in clubs at the end of the world. That's another reason why you should never lose hope.

Two days later you went to Moscow. An exciting place, isn't it? What did you get to see of it?
Kiro: I love Moscow!!! It's a lot like Berlin, only much bigger! We arrived at the station by night and all the lights and buildings were so impressive!!!
Yu: We got to see the Kreml and the Red Square and a monkey in a red jacket and we took part in a cool sight-seeing tour.
Strify: Moscow is an incredible place. The architecture is amazing. We naturally went to see the big square. You can picture Moscow like Berlin – times ten. The streets, the buildings – everything is bigger! There are areas with tower blocks that look like Marzahn, and streets that remind you of the Frankfurter Allee – the wonderful vibes of decadence are everywhere. What seemed great to me were the so-called Seven Sisters buildings. However... In one street, you see poor people begging, and just around the corner there's a deluxe department store – it's incredible that most of the world's billionaires live in Russia if you come across so much poverty.
Shin: Traffic jams... traffic jams everywhere, big impressive buildings that are illuminated at night. (grins)

And what left the most impressive impression?
Yu: That it's possible that 500 meters by car can take more than half an hour...
Kiro: Living in this place, the many lights... everything. (laughs)
Shin: What impressed me a lot was the whole package... how bit this place is, the buildings, the people...

And what was the show in Moscow like?
Yu: It was great! The stage looked amazing, and because Moscow was so awesome, we held our "Moscow Bizarre" DJ set at the same club again two days later...
Kiro: Since I had been looking forward to Moscow since forever, I was very nervous, but all this was gone when we went on stage! It was an amazing concert, the fans took part in it and sang along, that was wonderful!
Strify: My highlight was when we played the Russian version of t.A.T.u.'s Not Gonna Get Us and the audience went crazy.
Shin: The atmosphere in Moscow was great. The fans rocked and took part in our show.

A day later, you were in Saint Petersburg already. What did you like in particular about it?
Strify: Saint Petersburg is a lot cleaner than Moscow and really worth visiting. I recognised many places from an old Pierce Brosnan-Bond. A wonderful city.
Kiro: The city in general, particularly beautiful by night with all the lights decorating bridges and towers! It's very neat and tidy there, the traffic wasn't near as overwhelming as in Moscow too!
Shin: The food and the city. We had Sushi before the concert; otherwise, we have a certain person with a fondness of Pizza, and since this food is easy to get, we had to eat it often enough... tasted quite fine most of the time though.

And how was the show in this place different from the one in Moscow and Krasnodar?
Kiro: The backstage area was situated next to the stage, that's something we never had before! In other respects, the concert was great too! During the show, a huge lollipop was thrown onto the stage, it was truly huge!!! That was pretty much fun!
Shin: The club was of a pretty flat build, and there was this nice spotlight right above my drum set that I could have smashed anytime... but then I would definitely have burns in my face now. (laughs) Also during this show the atmosphere was unique and cool.

To what extent did you see and experience significant differences between the three places?
Strify: Krasnodar wasn't as western as Moscow and Saint Petersburg and looked like a village situated on a huge area. Moscow is incredibly decadent and ostentatious. Saint Petersburg is clean and reminds of Stockholm a little because of all the rivers and boats.
Kiro: You can always see differences; I fell in love with Moscow because I like Berlin a lot as well and Moscow sort of seems to be a much bigger version of Berlin! What all the three places have in common though is how nicely people welcomed us. (laughs)
Shin: They really are three different places indeed... From how the cities are built to how the people behave.

And which one did you like best?
Kiro: Hard to tell, Moscow was pretty cool though!
Strify: I didn't get to see enough of these places to decide.
Shin: Moscow, this place impressed me most because everything is so incredibly big.

How was the food in Russia? Do you have particularly good or particularly bad memories?
Strify: Yes, both of them. At the venue in Moscow, the food was incredibly good, for example, and there was a wide range of it. But now matter how the food was – the vodka was always good.
Kiro: So-so; the food at the hotels wasn't that good and the range of food was rather poor! Apart from that, we had truly wonderful Sushi at Saint Petersburg, that was really very very delicious.
Shin: The food was pretty much the same as in Germany, there was a lot of local food too of course.

You've been to so many places in Europe now. Which places would you most love to see next?
Strify: I've often been to London and would love to play there. Other than that, New York is on top of my list, followed by Tokyo.
Kiro: I'm looking forward to Rome in December.
Shin: New York and Tokyo... Think that both these cities are of a huge, unique nature.
Yu: New York, Tokyo, Shanghai, all the world's big cities! I would love to travel the whole world.

As you revealed only recently, your next album will be called toyZ. How did you come up with this title?
Shin: Because Strify is a toyboy. (laughs) He came up with the name together with Yu.
Strify: We will tell you more about this as soon as the album is released... We don't want to reveal everything yet.
Kiro: The idea with toyZ was there out of the blue and we liked it right away as regards the content. (laughs) And it's totally fitting! We will soon reveal more regarding the album title and the idea behind it.
Yu: toyZ are everywhere! We grow up with many different kinds of toys, and they shape us more than we might be aware of at first. The title just fit and we will soon reveal the concept of toyZ... (grins)

But before you can go on with working on the new album, there's 24.12. and 25.12. - what do you wish for for these two days?
Strify: In the last years, I associated Christmas with stress.
Kiro: I am looking forward to nice days with my family and friends and to eating good food. (laughs)
Shin: A lot of strength and support from my parents and friends.
Yu: Snow! Finally Christmas with a lot of snow, building snow men, snowball fights... and so on.

On 26.12. and 27.12. you will celebrate Christmas à la Cinema Bizarre?
Kiro: That's it. I'm looking forward to both concerts and slowly start getting in the mood for Christmas, there's no way to escape Christmas from the beginning of September on anyway...
Shin: I'm really looking forward a lot to both these concerts in order to show our German fans the experience we gained on the stages throughout Europe.
Yu: Definitely! We will present our German fans with two great concerts in Bochum and Hamburg to conclude this year. We did not forget you in spite of the many concerts abroad, so bring all your friends along!

Hola!!!!!!
En aquesta revista d'aquest mes de febrer hi surt una entrevista...acabo de trobar una traducció en anglès. Aquí la deixo:

Their new album is eagerly anticipated. In this issue, the four friendly boys tell us what they did other than working at the studio. Furthermore, they give a little review of last year as well as...

Rockoon: What was our New Year's Eve like? What did you do?
Strify: Some scenes: I chucked champagne in a female friend's face, tossed my hair about like the girls in films or music videos do, we sang ABBA, chopped shirts up in order to make Chippendales collars, were at a club where my favourite drag queen worked as DJane for the night, and eventually, we went to sleep...
Kiro: We had a really cool party at a good friend's place and moved on to a club afterwards! It's always a highlight to celebrate New Year's Eve in Berlin, I think; it's just breathtakingly beautiful!
Yu: I was at my parents' together with friends and Romeo, I had quite a bad cold ever since my birthday though which forced me to stay in bed the whole day. At midnight, I looked at the fireworks for a moment, but wasn't really capable of doing anything more. (laughs)
Shin: I spent New Year's Eve together with Strify and Kiro and very good friends for the first time. Celebrating New Year's Eve with them was really fun. Because I don't like firecrackers and rockets, I did without setting off fireworks yet another time!

And what was January 1st like?
Yu: More or less the same as December 31st. However, I was as fit as a fiddle again on January 2nd and went to do some serious shopping and spent a lot of time with my friends and Romeo.
Strify: I think it wasn't much different than the 2nd and the 3rd – probably apart from sleeping a bit more because I didn't end up in bed before sometime in the morning.
Kiro: Erm...I recovered from the night before so to say. (laughs)
Shin: Sleeping late...and waking up sometime to realise that it's January 2nd already.

And in addition to certainly cool things you wish for: What are your great plans for the year 2009 – other than finishing the new album and playing numerous concerts?
Strify: Alas, I will start from scratch... The ultimate goal is to make a little bit of Pop history and to leave a mark. I think, 2009 is a nice start for this. Moreover, Cinema Bizarre's territory will be a little broadened. (grins)
Shin: I will beat the drums into my brain and straighten my hair to death with my straightener even more. (laughs)
Yu: I am, once again, aiming high and will, as in 2008, hopefully be able to make it all.
Kiro: All I want is to enjoy this year! Travel many places and have tons of fun!

And what was the best Christmas present you got?
Yu: A wonderful evening...
Shin: A new suitcase because we will be out and about again soon, and I can sit on this suitcase and roll around on the airport. (grins)
Strify: Actually, this year I was glad that Christmas was over so soon. Hm, but a present from a fan in Florence was unique indeed. A little sculpture made of plastic that had been professionally painted and looked like I. Now I can finally play with myself. (laughs)
Kiro: I was happy about everything! What I always like in particular is to get to spend time with my family and to enjoy the delicious food!

Let's talk some more about last year: What person left the greatest impact on you?
Strify: Lady GaGa. I got a demo version of her album in Paris in June and fell in love at once. The album is great and she's an incredibly talented woman. Then, when I first spotted the video to Just Dance, it swept me off my feet. I'm sure Lady GaGa will make it big, and a collaboration of her and Cinema Bizarre is a dream that had already formed in 2008. (grins)
Yu: -miyavi-.
Kiro: That's something I cannot answer or, rather, there were so many people who impressed me! I cannot give a specific name! I find Lady GaGa very interesting, for example, she makes great music!
Shin: That's a difficult question... We met so many interesting persons, I cannot really tie myself down.

And who would you call the dork of the year 2008?
Yu: Amy Winehouse?
Kiro: There are quite a few dorks! But I cannot think of anybody off the top of my head!
Shin: Shin. (laughs)
Strify: Definitely Sarah Palin. If even a person like I, who is non-political and therefore setting a bad example, realises the lack of know how of this woman who wanted to accept such important office, it's beyond question who the dork is. What I've got to hand to her though: She was really entertaining.

What was your film of the year?
Kiro: Amongst others, I found the film Blindness well worth seeing!
Shin: WALL-E! I've been at the cinema a lot this year, but somehow I forgot about most of the films...
Yu: Wanted, amazing film, great scenes, good message and as if it had been made for a man. (laughs)
Strify: Most Hollywood blockbusters you get to see are only made for the big screen. Of the films I saw at the cinema, Batman – The Dark Knight was one to leave a lasting impression on me, surely also due to the Heath Ledger-myth surrounding this film.

Actress of the year?
Yu: Angelina Jolie.
Strify: I'm a big fan of Scarlett Johansson in general. Next year, the film adaptation of The Readerstarring Kate Winslet will be in theatres and I really look forward to it. Oh, and only recently I saw the 80s film Death Becomes Her and thought Meryl Streep was brilliant.
Kiro: I think Katharine Isabelle is a great actress!
Shin: Angelina Jolie.

And actor of the year?
Yu: Johnny Depp.
Shin: WALL-E.
Strify: Heath Ledger. I've been a great fan ever since 10 Things I Hate About You. And as cruel as it may sound, death is still what makes you most famous. Even more so when your last performance is as brilliant as his as Joker. Sad but true. But that's how he will live on.
Kiro: None in particular.

What's the nicest sentence someone said about you in 2008?
Strify: Sometimes it's not what is said to you that's important but rather who says it.
Shin: "You are the most stupid person I know", by Strify... (grins)
Kiro: Many great sentences were said in the year 2008; it is, for example, nice to hear when people tell us how much we developed. That is, or so do I think, a very nice compliment!

On December 1st, there was Strify in your Online Advent Calendar singing a part of "Modern Lover" at the studio. Is this the title of a song from your upcoming album?
Kiro: Everything has its meaning and ulterior motives! (laughs)
Strify: Yes, as you can easily recognise, the song is called Modern Lover. Only yesterday, we decided that it will end up on the album. We're takin' love to a new dimension.

On December 24, there was the new song It's Over in your Advent Calendar. A beautiful ballad. Where did the inspiration for this song come from?
Strify: This song was one of the first we recorded for the album at the end of summer last year. It will most probably not make it on the album regularly, but before we get going again for real in spring, we wanted to present our fans with something special to thank them for their lasting loyalty.
Kiro: We thought it a nice idea to release this particular song on Christmas as "thanks" to all our fans! And in order to make their holiday season. (grins) Furthermore, it's a topic practically everyone can relate to!

Are you finished recording the album now?
Kiro: No, not yet, but it won't take that long anymore!
Yu: We're still working on it; wait and then play! (laughs)
Strify: By now, we're at the final stage and want to be finished by the end of January. At the moment, we're busy deciding about the artwork and I'm recording my last parts.
Shin: Not yet, but very soon. Strify and I are recording our last parts at the moment.

Congratulations to the "European Border Breakers Award", an award that, for example, Wir sind Helden or Juli have won before. How do you feel and what does this award mean to you?
Shin: That's our first award, and we're very proud it's such a big European one... and then from the European Union, too! (grins)
Yu: I think it's great! To receive the award for best-selling debut album outside your home country is awesome and I'm very proud of it! (grins!
Kiro Thanks a lot! This award means a lot to me, it's a great honour for me and we're happy about it! It's just wonderful feedback! We owe it to our fans throughout Europe!
Strify: A prize from the European Committee is something completely different than a prize from a music channel or the like... and that is, at any rate, a great acknowledgement of what we did the last two years. A nice completion of the first album, proof that it was all worthwhile and a thanks to everybody who believed in us and who we've been working with.

Please comment on Luminor's departure...
Kiro: It's very tragic and we will fight on! We had a very nice time with Luminor that I'll never forget!
Strify: Sometimes people go their separate ways even if they once believed they would never do so. But everybody has his own path to walk even though you may share it with someone else. You can try to stick to it or you can walk on and take the best with you. I believe that the latter is the only thing that helps you grow. After all, you only have this one life and don't know if there is anything before or after it. But even if your ways separate, nobody should ever lose sight of his/her ambitions.
Shin: To start with, Luminor will take the time he needs to get better. We all hope he will feel better soon. He will always be a part of Cinema Bizarre. It's all very very sad how it happened but we cannot do anything but respect his decision.

2009 will be a great year because...
Kiro: ...I know. (laughs)
Strify: ...there will be toys for everybody! Do you wanna play?
Yu: ...I'm great, haha... (grins)
Shin: ...there will be a lot of toys.

Hola!!!!!!!!!!!!

He trobat la traducció en anglès d'aquestes 2 entrevistes!!!!!!!!!!
Aquí la deixo:

The band is in the starting blocks for another chapter of Cinema Bizarre.
Because Luminor left the band, Romeo has now become an official member of the band. What is more, the Berliners-by-choice have just finished working on their upcoming album. More than enough changes and announcements to ask the guys for details.

Rockoon: Let's start off with a rather unpleasant topic today: Luminor left the band.
How did you first learn that he will definitely no longer be part (of the band)? Not in the near future at least...
Strify: Luminor has always been a lone warrior. He, however, had a dream he fought hard for – together with us. His health steadily grew worse and he had to go to the hospital on the first tour already. Such incidents accumulated and we knew it could not go on like that because of Luminor's health, because of us and because of the fans. We then decided that we would let him have a few months time to recover. But this time grew longer and longer, we played more and more concerts without him and more and more fans were disappointed at the shows. Till the end I hoped he would get his act together, but at the same time we already started working on the new songs and Luminor contributed to some of them. We were about to define the plan for 2009. But Luminor then decided to leave. He is in need of more time for himself. A lot will be happening this year, and he himself said that it will all be too much for him and that he doesn't believe he would be able to join us for the shows all over the world and for the many promotion trips.
The day on which he told us (about his decision) was a strange and sad one.
Kiro: Luminor had been pausing for health reasons for quite some time already. It took long but we wanted to give him the chance and the time to recover. When he finally told us his decision,
we had already suspected what it might be! Needless to say that we were shocked nevertheless! Anyhow, we have to live with his decision and try to make the best of it and always do our best!
Shin: We all met and Luminor then told us that he is, physically, longer capable of being part (of the band). That was a shock for all of us – and for Luminor as well, I think.

What did each one of you appreciate about Luminor?
Kiro: I appreciated everything about him. He's a good guy.
Strify: His humour is great. His sarcasm often made our day.
Shin: His humour, his uniqueness and his profoundness.
Yu: That he was game for a joke even in unpleasant moments. (grins)

There were no interpersonal problems now and then?
Strify: These exist in every relationship for sure. But there was nothing severe when it comes to us.
Kiro: There are always problems... and let's be honest, wouldn't it be quite boring without these little problems? They need to be coped with in order to get ahead!
Yu: Just like with everybody else there were problems; if there weren't any, it would be a bit weird...
Shin: Yes, there's quarrel now and then... but that often happens when we are all bunched together. Normal, ain't it?

Romeo officially belongs to Cinema Bizarre now after he already participated in numerous shows and trips of yours. How did you actually get to know him?
Kiro: He's a good friend of the band and we knew him from the beginning! He always backed us up and supported us!
Yu: Just like the others, I first met him at AnimagiC [Translator's note:
Germany's biggest Manga and Animé Convention] where he had already worked as a helper for many years. First I kicked his ass playing Guitar Hero and later on playing Tekken... He, however, claims that the games ended in a tie. (grins)
Shin: Yu introduced me to him one day. They have both known each other for a long time.
Strify: I met him shortly after our moving to Berlin. Funnily enough Yu had met him at the same Convention we first met. Some day, Yu invited him to Berlin.

And what does each one of you particularly appreciate about Romeo?
Kiro: He's very committed and always on the ball. (grins)
Shin:His helpfulness and his ambition.
Yu: He's always eager to lend a hand whenever he can, especially when it comes to decimate (the consumption of) alcohol. (laughs)
Strify: He's very generous. And good-natured – sometimes maybe even a bit too much. (grins)

And what, concerning himself, should he still work on and improve?
Kiro: Concerning every person there are things he/she can work on! I think everybody knows about these things himself/herself well enough!
Strify: Ha ha, don't blame me but I prefer to tell him myself. Or how would you like it if your little flaws and weaknesses were discussed in public?
Yu: There are things about everybody the he/she can improve or change; some more, some less. (grins)
Shin: Everybody needs to work on himself/herself... nobody is perfect.

Romeo, what does it mean to you to no longer be part of Cinema Bizarre as a "backup" but as an official member?
Romeo: It's fantastic to share our lives and our passion for music. It means a lot to me that we decided to walk this road together from now on. We all share a dream, and it's unbelievable to be able to live your dreams together with your best friends.

Which three songs off Cinema Bizarre's first album particularly mean a lot to you?
Romeo: Escape To The Stars, After The Rain, Lovesongs (They Kill Me)

Between you and me: Are the other four guys very chaotic?
Romeo (laughs): I couldn't wish for better friends by my side.

Tell me, how did you come up with the name Romeo? Did your parents really chose it for you?
Romeo: Just like many other things in the world it has something to do with a woman, a lost love and new courage given by a person who was there for me.

On March 21, you will play your new single live at the Berlin show for the very first time. Can you already reveal the title?
Kiro: We have several songs to choose from, did not decide yet though.
Strify: It's February 11 today and even if you might not believe it, we have not yet decided what the next single will be. We have three favourites at the moment and it's a hard decision because each song represents a different style.

And what are the topics of the tracks you short-listed? Of one of them at least...
Strify: We experimented a little at Out Of Love and it is different than the songs on Final Attraction.
It's very danceable and inspired by Nineties-Eurodance with a touch of Army Of Lovers. Especially because the song is danceable and different, it's one of my favourites. It's very extroverted and deals with a love falling to pieces and you collect all your anger and sadness and start to see everything from a different angle: a little sarcastic and you smirk about how you behaved and how that destroyed everything. Exactly what I like. Why hide when you still have a life to live? The opening line is wonderful too: "As I was searching for some cookies in an empty jar, I realized some days are made to press restart." - What would a day without cookies be?

What about Cinema Bizarre is different in 2009 compared to 2008?
Kiro: We will travel the world and that's something I look forward to a lot! In addition, there will be a lot of TOYZ of all sorts for everybody. (grins)
Yu: It's a whole new year, everything changes in a sense and not at all at the same time. (laughs) But the first changes are having Romeo as a new member of Cinema Bizarre, a new album and so on. It's a new act being written and we try to master it as good as even possible. (grins)
Romeo: The music has developed, there are other influences, fun and work are on another level as well. There are things that changed. In a positive way, of course! This year we might conquer emotions, halls and maybe even the world with bombs of surprises we have in store. (laughs) We did a great job in the last few months and can hardly wait to finally present TOYZ, the result of our work, and to raise the passion in your hearts with it. Also the performance and the realisation on stage promises news for shows from New York to Berlin and beyond!
Shin: We are ready to play!
Strify: I've finally tasted blood. Now I want it all or nothing at all.
