Yesterday, there appeared an interview with Hikaru and Issay which I can't help sharing in the community as it's very long and seems to me extremely interesting. It is initially devoted to 'Nostalgic Future', released in 2010, but as it goes as informal conversation - which it was, seemingly - there're a lot of digressions from the

I loved when they brought up how he even scared Ken, poor baby. Their interviews are wonderfully informative & always sound like they had fun.

I just wish I knew whether they got the question I sent about the unfinished one or not. :-/

I love that Ken story too, it once was mentioned in the interview with him and Issay in old Ongaku to Hito where they commented the rendition of "Fall in love with me" they did for JAPAN tribute:P Looks like the interviewer read it too. What amuses me now is Issay's genuine surprise at the fact, because I thought he should remember Ken saying it.

And completely agree on informative, I also like that their interviews always sound like friendly talk and aren't any close to usual formal question-answer format. Maybe becuase of this there're a lot of facts that had never been known about them before. Though, not that we had a chance to read much, as practically all available interviews are in Japanese(

P.S. Pardon late reply, wasn't in the city.

I wondered how he could've forgotten as well. After all, he was sitting right there when Ken said it. Maybe he didn't take it seriously.

Yes, the informal discussion works wonderfully. It can be painful to read if the interview is too formal or when the interviewer is obviously angling in a specific direction, trying to force certain answers.

It's okay, I was helping my mom watch my brother's kids till yesterday.
