Few music artists can put candles on an impressive anime list Mission The introduction has been completed, including the iconic title Vinland Saga,,,,, Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron Blood Orphan,,,,, Demonic Killer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Swordsmith Village Arcand My Hero Academic,other. Ann had a chance to talk to one of the members recently Jean-Ken Johnnywhy it is about creating songs, tours, movies and new features for anime introduction Mission.
So, tell me about the tastes of the anime groups. Do you have any favorites? What are you looking at recently?
Jean-Ken Johnny: I’m a huge comic and animation fan. Therefore, choosing one is a very cruel question. But now, what’s wrong with Japan? and da and. Do you know and da and?
Yes, we love and da andWoolen cloth
Johnny: Yes, it’s awesome! You know, visuals, creations, and even songs. The main theme is about UFOs, ghosts and all the creepy stuff. It combines and how the story develops – it’s really great. I really like animation. When it comes to the recent ones, I will choose that one. But talking about ancient times, I’m Masamune Shirowlike The ghost in the shell. Such something. return, akira. All ancient, [sci-fi] Things Japanese legends do – they are always my biggest hero.
Speaking of anime, can you tell us about the process of making an anime introduction song? How much information did you provide while performing a show? Can you watch anything in advance? How long does it take for the process from start to finish?
Johnny: Whenever we have the opportunity to work with anime and similar content, I really don’t watch animation that much. I usually read comics in novels to understand the whole story. Whenever I drop a song, it’s the song from the series, but I always want to enter information for the whole story [in the song]. So I tried reading everything from beginning to end and putting down a song that would also fit the series itself, but also talked about the whole theme of the story.
OK How long does it usually take from start to finish?
Johnny: First, I read the whole book. This only took me a day or two because I read everything very quickly. But after that, I think, since I’m also a big fan of animation and comics, I always think of songs, music, and these songs do fit those open themes. I don’t know that this idea might have only taken me for less than a week or something like that, just to think about it. But after that, it took a little time to write lyrics and stuff, but not that much. I really like it. I’m a big fan, so I got into it right away.
What do you like to do the open part of anime the most?
Johnny: I guess this is imagining the sound of the opening animation. This is my most interesting part. I think the story itself is so cool, but having its own song in the opening animation, something like that, just imagine it and bringing emotions and energy to the song. This is the most interesting part of writing songs for animation.
So, rotate a little. Mission Now there is a chance to visit overseas many times. Are there any songs – especially songs that come to auto anime, but don’t have to, but are your overseas audiences more excited than Japanese audiences?
Johnny: Of course, I guess there are a lot of songs in the animation, but the song “Tokyo Dead in Tokyo” we wrote with Patrick Stump. Yes, the song actually reacted a lot, especially among the people overseas than Japan. This is a great song. Even in Japan, there are a lot of people who react to that song. But I see a lot of people dancing and bounce more overseas.

Once, we finished the set list and people asked for curtain phones and something like that, but this kid, this boy just shouted, please play “Take me down”. He just wanted this. “If you don’t play that song, I’ll die,” or something like that. We weren’t going to play the song, but we just said, “Okay, you want it, so it went.” Yes, a lot of people like that song, too.
Now when it comes to traveling, your wolf is taking part in a parade tour in 2023, this is the first time Mission Since the pandemic, it is necessary to tour overseas. I wonder how much the pandemic has changed your tour, how it feels like to go back to tour overseas after so long?
Johnny: I believe that in that era, everyone in the world was having a hard time, and everyone was rethinking and thinking about how the plague really hurts the music industry. So after the pandemic, we really rethink the luck we can perform music in a normal way. And, compared to those days, everything is settled now, and we are really grateful. But we really enjoyed more and we didn’t appreciate much for touring and making music. I think it’s the same for the audience. You know, no one has the chance to play live shows, especially in Japan. Everyone was very scared to just go out. But after that pandemic, I believe I can feel everyone enjoying music and thanking it.
Speaking of travel, how is your Japan traveling in January 2024 with 311? Can you share interesting stories about working with them?
Johnny: We are big fans of that band. They came from the 90s, and the main influence of our music emerged in that era. Alternative music, a mix of mixed things that were happening in that era. So 311 is one of our heroes, and the booking agent actually told us that they plan to tour in Japan and are looking for some bottle openers. We just say, we are loyal fans, so let’s do it. We also have the opportunity to visit the United States. We performed in Denver and in the Red Rocks amphitheater. It was a legendary venue, and performing in that place was one of my dreams. We had a great time.
Tell me your latest EP, xv. What do these songs mean to you and what inspired them?
Johnny: Mainly bass player, I Mission. Usually, we build an idea and throw it to other members, and that’s how it starts. But since this is the EP for the anniversary, we want to consider another creation process. This time, we make all members just come up with an idea from scratch and then build it by jamming it or having a conversation (similar stuff). So these four songs come from different members: singer, DJ, bassist and me. The album comes with four songs and is created through a completely different process, which is really fun.
Even though we’ve been together for 15 years, talking about what you want to do or something like that just brings the song you want to do. It’s more than just words – you can actually see what this guy wants to express and do as an artist. So bringing concepts is not just about talking about things. It was a great experience for us to have other members bring their own ideas. We are proud of our creation. It should be very fresh for the usual audience Mission. I hope you guys enjoy it.

Talking about all the new stuff out there, especially the “Fake Whisper”, it’s an unusually frustrating song Mission. I want to know how this song appears.
Johnny: The idea for this song comes from the Central singer. Tokyo Tanaka. And, obviously, it is a song of political protest that implies politics, government, and also a warning that we do not understand this situation. This may be very different from the usual songs we write. and Tokyo TanakaSinger, now thinking about what is going on in Japan. Not only in Japan, I believe everyone has their own problems in their own country. But yes, the central theme is about – of course, it’s a protest song, but the theme is that it’s not ignorant of what’s going on. We want it to sound frustrating, but there is hope. That’s how we create that.
Do you have interesting facts or details about a band or a band or music you like to talk about? This is your opportunity! Tell me the obscure thing you’ve been trying to talk about, but you’ve never been asked. Or, if you can’t think of something you’ve never been asked, you wish you were asked often.
Johnny: I really like what kind of music I like. What kind of artists have you inspired? Well, these are obvious issues. What kind of movies are you watching yourself when we were young or something like that? I really like to talk about it and find something that I share with others.
Tell me about the movie you like! What kind of movie do you like?
Johnny: I mean, the greatest movie of the 20th century is Back to the future. I mean, this is a masterpiece. You know, everyone knows what’s going to happen next – everyone knows the next line, but when he says that line, everyone loves it. That’s a masterpiece.
The other favorite that came to mind?
Johnny: It’s a serious guy, but Robin Williams, The Dead Poets Association. Yes, that’s a great movie. I mean, I couldn’t help crying for that movie. It’s a great movie about adolescence, youth and stuff like that. Actually, yes, I was really inspired by that movie. I think some of the songs I wrote were inspired by that movie.
Any special thoughts?
Johnny: That movie is about youth, youth and all the struggles one can face. And, he cherishes this moment – the beauty he has. It’s all about struggle, frustration and all the problems. Despite this, he enjoys and cherishes his beautiful moments and beautiful philosophical thinking. This is an important theme for the songs we write.
We are always singing about what happens in the world, but you have to deal with it yourself. But you never have to be frustrated because there are good moments. No matter what others say, they are talking about it, and you have your own beautiful moments to cherish. I guess this is a very specific topic we wrote in the song. I’ve never talked about this, but I think I’m really inspired by that movie, too.
Finally, close this content, do you have any news you want to share with your fans?
Johnny: Yes. It’s been a while since we’ve been on tours around the world. In October, we are attacking in the UK and Europe, and after that, we have the opportunity to experience China and Asia. It was great to be back on the road again. It’s a bit blushing and awkward to say that, but for us, traveling around the world, creating music, like the hero I listen to, music that I’m obsessed with, just creating a song and traveling around the world to understand how people react, it’s always a dream. I’m really happy that we can now enjoy the luck and happiness we can do now. We are lucky to be able to do it again this October. I hope you guys have the chance to come out and see the fun you can have on our show.
Thank you very much for your support. We are so happy to be back on the way and can’t wait to see you guys.
this Mission On October 2, the “World How Called” tour will begin in London and will span the UK, Europe and Asia. You can find more information about the concerts taking place in your area Mission Official website List.
