Interview with Strify for Russian Bravo!

B: Hi, Strify, what’s up?
Strify: Fine! And you?


B: OK! Our congratulations to you with the release of the second album. And,there is a question to you at once: weren’t you afraid, that among a lot of groups the first album is often much more better than the second one?
Strify: On the threshold of the release of the second album we were more nervous, than on the threshold of the release of the first one. We expected absolutely any reaction, but as a result, everything was in the best way.


B: The music of Cinema Bizarre develops together with the group. Didn’t you have a crafty plan, for example, “today we follow this way, tomorrow that way and the day after tomorrow we will begin playing funk or disco”?
Strify: Well, yes, our music keeps on developing with every day and every album. If you listen to the first and the second albums, there will be evident difference. I think, we will keep on our bold experiments.


B: In the USA there also was the release of your album, wasn’t it?
Strify: Yes, it’s very interesting mix of tracks from both albums.


B: How did the American audience meet the album? With the European one is clear as noondayJ
Strify: Unfortunately, it was put up for sale recently at all, and that’s why I can’t tell you exactly, if it was met well or not. Nevertheless, I hope to get good news.


B: Let’s talk about Russia. You have been to our country not for the first time, haven’t you?
Strify: Aha, we gave here 5 concerts.


B: What do you think about Russian audience?
Strify: The audience is absolutely incredible! People have such a wild energy. Every time, when we play concerts, it’s a great pleasure for all of the members of the group. We enjoy every minute on the stage.


B: Are our fans much louder than in another countries?
Strify: Yes, much louder, I think! During our concerts their good mood just brims over, that’s why there is too much noise! (laughing)


B: What about Russian girls?
Strify: Well…


B: Only honestly!
Strify: They are super. They have incredible resplendent smiles.


B: At our editor’s office one funny tradition appeared: we like to ask different groups about the dish, which they tasted in Russia. What dish of Russian national cuisine did you like most of all?
Strify: Last time we were in Krasnodar and tasted a sort of the dish, its name, unfortunately, I don’t remember. I think, it was okroshka. Is there such dish?


B: Yes, there is! We are glad, that you liked it. Listen, recently we found in the internet combined pic with you and Miyavi. You are great fan of him, aren’t you?
Strify: Yes, it’s true.


B: Except Miyavi, whom of the Japanese musicians do you like?
Strify: (without hesitation) I love so much Dir en Grey, D’espairs Ray, also I like L’Arc - en - Ciel very much. I mean, I don’t concentrate on something one. It develops taste and it’s very useful for our music.
