[AN CAFE Interview by Club Zy MAG Vol.039 PART 3] Translate: Shiro, Staff from Nyappy Forever BR Thanks for http://www.club-zy.com/ On October 4th will be released the new single of AN CAFE “Ikenai mousou x Abunai monster”. This month the band is currently in halloween, with presentations scheduled for Nagoya, Tokyo and Osaka, the “AN CAFE LIVE CAFE TOUR'17 ‘Antic Halloween Party ~ Ikenai mousou x Abunai monster ~’”. And the clothes rule for these lives is: “Please, come with something related to red.” Please note that in the last presentation of Tokyo, the members will appear wearing the new costumes for this halloween. So, aren’t you anxious like the boys of AN CAFE, for this month’s Halloween events? Photos by Takehiro Suganuma / Interview by Tomonori Nagasawa. - Do you usually uses too much of your imagination (Yuuki)? Yuuki: Me? Well ... nothing special. Oh! But if it is for games. For example ... rare game cards ... Miku: Is not a Middle School student thing? Yuuki: Well it's the "Ikenai mousou x Abunai monster", I participated in the composition of music, I had fun singing. So people who are listening, would not it be like I was asking them to have fun too? - Takuya what was your reaction about "Ikenai mousou x Abunai monster"? Takuya: "Ikenai mousou x Abunai monster" would be a fast way to a beat dance, to put the EDM we needed a simple music beat. But prolonging the beat time could be a good idea? Well, it would be like do a pop beat, but I grabbed the idea right away. The rap part, the simple lyrics of the song ... the melody of "Ikenai mousou x Abunai monster" was prolonged as a pop and had its own charm. - By the way, Takuya, do you think of things that are not very appropriate? Takuya: No, lately I have not thought of that sort of thing. That would be more to the imagination of a student. For me there is no limit to what people can imagine. - Kanon, even now you seem to be a person it’s using your imagination. Kanon: It seems so (lol). When I was on the train, my sister was in a bad mood, at that moment I was thinking, "She's really making an expressionless face" "If she smiles at me, what kind of smile should I return?" Miku: Huh? Is this really use the imagination? - Miku, this is for you, the character that appears in "Ikenai mousou x Abunai monster" is connected to what you feel inside and so made you write the lyrics? Miku: No, these things are not inside me. - Have you ever prank anyone in the middle of the night? Miku: I've never done that. In case, if you make a call to a worried little boy in the middle of the night than just a prank, what kind of voice would you make ?? I would have to have some interest in that. - Interest like nudity?? Miku: Not that kind. But using just underwear, especially in the summer. This summer I didn't wear pants I just used a steteco * ¹ to sleep at home. It's because it's cooler. * ¹ steteco, something like shorts with a light fabric that make you feel fresh. Kanon: I also belong to this “naked family”. - Now, about the coupling of "Tentekomai" that Kanon was in charge to compose. Kanon: First it was already a song made, so the band's own sound had to be the main thing, so I put the sound of the synthesizer plus other high quality handsets and in the end it was something like "nostalgic and innovative". I also think that the lyrics of Miku's song got very well into the rhythmic beat. The lyrics of the song would not be a problem for the "Showa Era". Miku: The Showa Era thinks exactly like that about the Heisei Era, however the Showa Era is already over. - Do you care about your age? Miku: By the time I was 30 years old and when I passed of this age, there was a side of me that cared about that, as time went on I didn't get worried anymore. - Looking to all these songs, currently the songs of the 40's and 50's are active and receiving support from people of different generations. Miku: Looking at this scene I feel more relieved. Kanon: Besides, we are the majority, but if over time people don't do this kind of thing, I would not even care too. Miku: Ohh! In fact the people of closer generations are the biggest part. - The girl who created the song "Tentekomai" even with the passing of years is living with her dreams and hopes, listening to this song there are many women who are opposing. Miku: "Tentekomai" (original) would it be how women remember the crisis? I can't say. I imagined and wrote about the generation of these women and their feelings. - For people who are chasing their dreams, these songs delivery heartfelt happiness. Miku: Yes, in this song I write the conflict of those feelings of girls who's living honestly following their own hearts. - In that same generation the people who live exactly as in the song "Tentekomai" are the great majority. Miku: It seems like yes, a lot of girls older than me want to listen to "Tentekomai" and when they go to karaoke in the late afternoon want to sing things like "live with their own dreams and hopes". Kanon: This song has become the encouragement of these girls and also, if we present this in live and if they sing along with us, I think we would marvelously become one... - A lot of girls are fascinated by things that please them, are not they? Miku: I feel that kind of thing. Formerly in the Showa era, "girls were forced to marry" but marriage is no longer an obligation, many women are working. In the lyrics of "Tentekomai" women are like heroines and I’m also living as described in the music to better understand these feelings, next to them I want to strive. "Tentekomai" is this type of music. Yuuki: I also sympathized with the lyrics. Most of all, it's a composition that reminds me of feelings. Probably other people singing it in ten decades from now would say, "I don't understand the meaning of this song." Because these are the true feelings of the person who wrote this lyric, passed down to us deeply. Certainly, people who feel this sensation are many. That's what made me sympathize!! -Takuya, please, we also want to listen you impression of “Tentekomai”. Takuya: "Tentekomai" is a song that has a very fast pace and it seems that in live will be very challenging. The style of song is like "For us to strive extraordinarily let's play it live." - Teruki too, please. Teruki: I am the oldest of the members of AN CAFE, even now I do not have to worry about my age. But of the songs released "Tentekomai" has the most "annoying" lyrics this worries me a little (lol). I feel this song touches people's hearts. - Another coupling is "Balloon Girl" the unrequited love of the purest girl. Miku: Hmm, did you feel pure? - I thought it was some sense of pure love. Miku: When we're in love, the feeling... (Continues on next part)

It's 2017 And People Seriously Need To Stop Asking These 15 Questions

It’s 2017 And People Seriously Need To Stop Asking These 15 Questions

One of the most common questions I get asked these days is, “Are you a feminist?” Friends I’ve known for years, people I meet at parties, colleagues, almost everyone wants to know if I stand for something as basic as equality of all sexes. Seriously how are we even giving room for people to say no?

“Hi, do you believe in equality of all sexes”

“Umm no”

“Okay great, let’s continue being friends.”

"It's been quite a ride," McCain wrote in his memoir.

Republican Sen. John McCain, 81, has died after a long battle with brain cancer.

The Arizona senator was diagnosed with an aggressive form of glioblastoma and began treatment for the disease in July 2017.

McCain appeared to be undeterred for several months after his diagnosis was made public.

He was seen back at work on Capitol Hill last fall and weighed in on major legislative policies, including the annual defense authorization bill and efforts to repeal the Affordable Care Act.

"I don't mean to be repetitious, but to my Democrat friends and some of my Republican friends: I'm coming back," McCain said during a Facebook Live event in August last year.

McCain made headlines upon his return — including when he dramatically voted no on the Republican version of a bill to repeal the Affordable Care Act.

His career as a public servant spanned decades of honorable service, and despite some challenges along the way, McCain established himself as a key figurehead of the Republican Party. Few lawmakers on Capitol Hill will match the legacy he leaves behind.

Here's a look back at John McCain's incredible life:

McCain graduated from the US Naval Academy in 1958 and served as a pilot.

Early in his career in naval aviation, McCain's flying ability and judgment were questioned after he crashed three planes. His commanders were said to have sarcastically called him "Ace McCain" because of his record.

"John was what you called a push-the-envelope guy," Sam Hawkins, who flew in McCain's squadron in the 1960s, told the Los Angeles Times. "There are some naval aviators who are on the cautious side. They don't get out on the edges, but the edges are where you get the maximum out of yourself and out of your plane. That's where John operated."

On October 26, 1967, during the Vietnam War, McCain was flying over Hanoi when a surface-to-air missile hit his plane's wing, forcing him to eject.

"Some North Vietnamese swam out and pulled me to the side of the lake and immediately started stripping me, which is their standard procedure," McCain wrote in USA Today.

"Of course, this being in the center of town, a huge crowd of people gathered, and they were all hollering and screaming and cursing and spitting and kicking at me."

McCain broke both of his arms and his right knee. He had lost consciousness until he hit the water after ejecting from the plane.

McCain was held as a prisoner of the North Vietnamese Army (NVA) for five and a half years. He was subjected to torture and solitary confinement in a Vietnamese prison nicknamed the "Hanoi Hilton."

Upon learning that McCain's father was an admiral in the Navy, who would eventually command all US forces in the Pacific, NVA forces provided medical care to McCain. Doctors performed surgery on his leg, according to McCain, but made incorrect incisions on one side and cut all the ligaments.

McCain would spend the rest of his life walking with a noticeable limp.

McCain was released on March 14, 1973.

The North Vietnamese Army had previously offered McCain his freedom, but he refused, thinking that it would bring shame and demoralize his fellow POWs.

Carol, McCain's first wife, raised three children while he was gone, and was reportedly recovering from a devastating car crash that left her impaired for months.

McCain made several trips back to Vietnam to bridge relations with the US.

McCain would eventually retire from the Navy in 1981 as a captain. His awards include a Silver Star and a Distinguished Flying Cross.

"I have watched men suffer the anguish of imprisonment, defy appalling human cruelty ... break for a moment, then recover inhuman strength to defy their enemies once more," McCain said to the Naval Academy's graduating class in 1993. "All these things and more, I have seen. And so will you. My time is slipping by. Yours is fast approaching. You will know where your duty lies. You will know."

Some areas of the prison where McCain was held were converted into a museum, dedicated to the historic link between his service and the Vietnam War.

During a visit to the infamous prison, McCain said he could not forgive the jailers who mistreated and killed fellow POWs.

McCain married Cindy Hensley in 1980 and had a daughter, two sons, and adopted another daughter from Bangladesh.

After serving as a Navy liaison in the Senate, McCain took the leap into politics and was elected to serve Arizona's 1st Congressional District from 1982 to 1984.

McCain's political opponents criticized him early on, pointing to what they called his lack of connection to Arizona. He eventually hit back during a debate:

"Listen, pal. I spent 22 years in the Navy. My grandfather was in the Navy. We in the military service tend to move a lot. We have to live in all parts of the country, all parts of the world. I wish I could have had the luxury, like you, of growing up and living and spending my entire life in a nice place like the first district of Arizona, but I was doing other things. As a matter of fact, when I think about it now, the place I lived longest in my life was Hanoi."

"Looking back, I think the race was effectively over right then," McCain recalled in his autobiography. "But I didn't know that then. I was just mad and had taken a swing."

After his two terms in the House, McCain sought Arizona's Senate seat and won a landslide victory in 1986.

As a senator, McCain was a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee. He would eventually become the chairman of the committee, weighing in on a variety of matters involving the US military, such as funding and mission scope.

Sen. McCain hit a bump in the road in 1989.

McCain was one of the "Keating Five" — five senators accused of trying to persuade federal regulators to ease up on Charles Keating, a major campaign donor who became financially compromised during the 1980s savings-and-loan crisis.

McCain, who emerged relatively unscathed after the Senate Ethics Committee's investigation, was found to have exercised "poor judgment." While the other four senators retired in the 1990s, McCain soldiered on.

"Despite my recovery, the Keating Five experience was not one that I have walked away from as easily as I have other bad times," McCain said in his memoir.

"Twelve years after its conclusion, I still wince thinking about it and find that if I do not repress the memory, its recollection still provokes a vague but real feeling that I had lost something very important, something that was sacrificed in the pursuit of gratifying ambitions, my own and others."

Following the scandal, McCain soon earned the moniker of "Maverick," a term his colleagues from both sides of the political aisle gave him as he advocated for campaign finance reform and sought to end government waste.

In the 1990s, McCain took on special-interest groups like the tobacco industry, and pushed for raising cigarette taxes to pay for anti-smoking campaigns. But McCain's anti-tobacco bill ultimately fell short after the tobacco industry launched a $40 million PR effort of its own.

"The losers are the children of America," McCain said.

Regardless of the outcome for some of his ambitious reforms, McCain's was easily reelected in 1992 and 1998.

McCain would soon became a household name in politics. He set his sights higher and announced in 1999 that he would run for president in the 2000 election.

After losing several states in the primaries to then-Texas Gov. George W. Bush, McCain withdrew from the race and endorsed Bush.

One of McCain's crowning achievements in the Senate was the McCain-Feingold Act in 2002.

McCain, along with Democratic Sen. Russell Feingold of Winsonsin, helped enact the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002, one of the first major amendments to the Federal Election Campaign Act.

The legislation was designed to regulate financing for political organizations and curb the influx of soft money.

Following the attacks of September 11, 2001, McCain supported the US-led coalition war in Afghanistan.

McCain explained his support for Operation Enduring Freedom in a Wall Street Journal opinion column published in October 2001.

"There is no avoiding the war we are in today, any more than we could have avoided world war after our fleet was bombed at Pearl Harbor," McCain wrote. "America is under attack by a depraved, malevolent force that opposes our every interest and hates every value we hold dear."

"War is a miserable business. Let's get on with it."

McCain also supported the invasion of Iraq in 2003 and claimed Saddam Hussein was "turning Iraq into a weapons assembly line for al-Qaida's network."

Although McCain continued to voice his support for US military options in Iraq, McCain later admitted it was a mistake.

"The principal reason for invading Iraq, that Saddam had [weapons of mass destruction], was wrong," McCain wrote in his memoir.

"The war, with its cost in lives and treasure and security, can't be judged as anything other than a mistake, a very serious one, and I have to accept my share of the blame for it."

McCain announced his second presidential bid for the 2008 election.

McCain gracefully spars with then-Sen. Barack Obama.

McCain secured the Republican nomination in the primaries and faced off against then-Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois in the general election.

As McCain trailed behind polls, Obama's critics sought to discredit him by promoting false theories about his heritage and religion. During a campaign rally in 2008, one of McCain's supporters explained why she said she did not trust Obama.

"I have read about him, and he's not, he's not — he's an Arab," the woman said, incorrectly.

McCain quickly grabbed the microphone, shook his head and set the record straight.

"No ma'am," McCain said, calling Obama "a decent family man, citizen, that I just happen to have disagreements with on fundamental issues, and that's what this campaign is all about."

McCain selects Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska as his running mate.

McCain later said he regretted the decision and wished he selected Joe Lieberman, the former Democratic senator from Connecticut, and his longtime friend, as his running mate.

"It was sound advice that I could reason for myself," McCain said in his memoir. "But my gut told me to ignore it and I wish I had."

McCain concedes to Obama in November 2008: "This is an historic election, and I recognize the special significance it has for African-Americans and for the special pride that must be theirs tonight."

On November 5, 2008, McCain formally conceded the election and congratulated President-elect Obama on his victory.

"A little while ago, I had the honor of calling Senator Barack Obama to congratulate him," McCain said. "To congratulate him on being elected the next president of the country that we both love."

"This is an historic election, and I recognize the special significance it has for African-Americans and for the special pride that must be theirs tonight," McCain added.

"I've always believed that America offers opportunities to all who have the industry and will to seize it. Senator Obama believes that, too."

As the chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, McCain provided legislative oversight of the military and became a leading voice on veterans issues.

But as the chairman of the legislative body of military affairs, McCain also had to account for the military's failures.

For the most part, McCain maintained friendly ties with other lawmakers, regardless of their political party.

In July 2017, McCain announced he was diagnosed with brain cancer.

McCain received broad support for his recovery from both sides of the political aisle.

"I greatly appreciate the outpouring of support - unfortunately for my sparring partners in Congress, I'll be back soon, so stand-by!" McCain said on Twitter.

McCain feuded with President Donald Trump.

Prior to making a move to politics, real-estate tycoon Donald Trump threw jabs at McCain by throwing cold water on his military service.

Trump said the former naval aviator "was captured," and expressed doubt on whether he should be hailed as a hero.

"He's not a war hero," Trump said at a leadership summit in 2015. "He was a war hero because he was captured. I like people who weren't captured."

"I think John McCain's done very little for the veterans," Trump later said. "I'm very disappointed in John McCain."

Trump would continue to echo the remarks throughout his presidency.

McCain remained critical of Trump's presidency and did not shy from letting his feelings known. On Trump's controversial performance at his summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin in July, McCain described it as "one of the most disgraceful performances by an American president in memory."

McCain also denounced Trump's repeated attacks on the press: "Trump continues his unrelenting attacks on the integrity of American journalists and news outlets," McCain wrote in an op-ed. "This has provided cover for repressive regimes to follow suit."

The decisive healthcare vote.

A few weeks after being diagnosed with brain cancer, McCain returned to the Senate floor and cast his stunning "no" vote and scuttled Sen. Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's healthcare bill on a 51-49 vote.

"Watch the show," McCain said to reporters as he walked into the chamber before the vote.

The Republican-led "skinny repeal" would have repealed major portions of President Barack Obama's healthcare reform law, and McCain's vote was crucial in derailing that effort.

McCain's vote has been a source of ire from Trump, who frequently disparages McCain's decision in his numerous campaign rallies.

McCain also had a gruff, but affectionate relationship with journalists.

McCain discontinues his brain cancer treatment.

On August 24, McCain announced he would discontinue his cancer treatment.

"In the year since, John has surpassed expectations for his survival," McCain's family said in a statement. "But the progress of disease and the inexorable advance of age render their verdict. With his usual strength of will, he has now chosen to discontinue medical treatment."

In a passage from his memoir, which was published in May, McCain writes:

"I don't know how much longer I'll be here. Maybe I'll have another five years. Maybe, with the advances in oncology, they'll find new treatments for my cancer that will extend my life. Maybe I'll be gone before you read this. My predicament is, well, rather unpredictable."

"I have some things I'd like to take care of first, some work that needs finishing, and some people I need to see. And I want to talk to my fellow Americans a little more if I may."

"It's been quite a ride."

"It's been quite a ride," McCain continued in his memoir. "I made a small place for myself in the story of America and the history of my times."
