【Interview/Entrevista】An Cafe (antic cafe), Rock and Read vol.102 #4 (Final)

Formed in 2003, in 2010 there was a suspension of activities, in 2012 there was a resumption of activities, in 2019 there was a new suspension of activities, in June 2022 there was a resumption of activities. The members are Miku (vocals), takuya (guitar), Kanon (bass), Yuuki (keyboards) and Teruki (drums). On January 5th (Thursday) and January 6th (Friday) 2023, they will perform at Zepp Haneda for a revival event, “LIVE CAFE 20th Anniversary 「Reiwa from First NYAPPY o(≧∀≦)o 」”. www.ancafe-20th.com Visit Nyappy Forever Web: https://nyappyforeverbr.blogspot.com/ PART #4 (Final) Miku: However, I still had anxiety. For three and a half years, we were separated from all Cafekko (AnCafe fans). I wondered what kind of face I should make when meeting everyone. At first, I thought it would be better to say "I'm sorry" and apologize, but as Yuuki just said, the audience welcomed me very warmly. That's when my feelings changed. We will convey our feelings by delivering a solid performance. As expected, I felt I had to thank Osaka Muse, the members, staff and fans for giving me this opportunity. So, you announced at an event in Osaka that on January 5th and 6th next year we will have a two-day one-man for the first time in four years. When did you decide to do this? Miku: After it was decided that we would perform at the Osaka Muse event, the number of times we talked about how the 20th anniversary should be held increased among the members. In response to this, Michiru-san suggested that we do a one-man live. Well, rather than a proposal, in a sense, that too, after all, was like an approval. Michiru contacted me and said, "Please check the schedule to see if all members are available." It's an exaggeration (laughs). If they managed to participate in the event, it was impossible to do a One-man, it would be like “Hey, hey” (laughs). takuya: It's true. For me, the only problem was the schedule. Miku: Haven't you organized your schedule yet? takuya: It's all right now (laughs). The people at my work understood. They also told me “I will see”. I haven't used the word “reunion” until now, but now can we call it a reunion? The schedule after January is still undecided, being very positive, so it's okay to have high expectations? Miku: I think each member thinks differently. But I have a strong desire to keep doing it. We did a rehearsal for the Osaka Muse event, didn't we? From that moment on, I started looking forward to it. I could see the faces of the members and playing AnCafe songs. That alone made me very happy. Also, I had mixed feelings on stage at the event. It's been a long time since we didn't have a show, I wanted to flirt more with all the cafekkos (laughs), after all, it was Osaka Muse's 35th anniversary event right. So in the future it would be nice if we could do activities to celebrate our 20th anniversary. Yuuki: I want to get back to playing if the schedule fits! Miku: What? It's like you're looking down on me. You two days off a week, right? (laughs) Yuuki: Due to the circumstances of the clients I am responsible for, my days off are flexible. But I always wanted to play with AnCafe. As long as you book in advance, you won't go wrong! You want to do your best while balancing the two. Yuuki: Yes. I also like working in the salon. takuya: I'm in the same situation. It's a very flexible job. Teruki: Some members have other jobs besides music, so the current AnCafe might seem a little weird as a band. Kanon: I think it's not good if everyone started to feel cramped because they put too much enthusiasm into it. Well, I wish I could play with a good feeling. Teruki: That kind of thinking can be seen by bands that have been active for a long time and might think "Eh?". But we think that kind of rhythm and that kind of method is good. I think everyone thinks like that. Is your motivation different now? takuya: Because I managed to do that once, I think I can play with a different feeling than before. Thinking about it this way, the second hiatus may have been a necessary time for each member and not necessarily for An Cafe. Teruki: It might have been necessary in terms of the way the five of us lived. However, we upset a lot of people, so I'm really sorry about that. Again, when I was asked about the appearance of the Osaka Muse event, I honestly feel like I want to play with AnCafe and I have a resistance of not saying I want to do that because I caused problems. But if the resurrection stage didn't come true because of my refusal, it would be much worse. Because I thought I shouldn't play again. I don't think you should blame yourself for that... Teruki: This time, I wasn't the one who started it all. When I contacted Miku-kun, I told him that Shuto Miyazaki had asked, “I want you to sing”, and at the Osaka Muse event, people around me asked, “Why don't you come to the concert?” . Kanon-san also said that they are “small accumulations of everyday life”, but being able to be beyond ourselves, that is also the greatness of An Cafe. You have the power to move something. Teruki: Also, the 2019 announcement was not a disbandment, but a hiatus. When I contacted Miku-kun, the premise was great. When the band went on hiatus, if Miku-kun hadn't said "I'll wait until the members say we'll play again", but said "This is the end of AnCafe", I might not have been able to turn on Miku-kun even after Shuto-kun contacted me, I don't think I could. I knew that Miku-kun still wanted to sing in AnCafe, at some point, I thought I hadn't given up on AnCafe yet, so I managed to get in touch with them. It's because Miku-kun and the cafekkos really protected AnCafe, and they waited for us. I don't want to jump to conclusions right now, but I think the feelings of the audience who come to the venue will be different if there is anything beyond the January show. If you think there's a future beyond that, I think you can enjoy live performances with a bright feeling. Miku: I didn't intend to protect AnCafe. When I heard about Osaka Muse, I thought that if the members didn't say OK, I would do karaoke by myself. However, I never thought of switching members. Because I was a little optimistic. Today, unlike in the past, even if a member leaves or falls apart, there is a tendency to return to nature. That's why I thought that when the time came, the five of us would get together. During today's interview, the members said something like, "I was reluctant to say that I wanted to get back to playing since I stopped", wasn't it? I understand that feeling, but if you ask me, who is much older than you, you won by doing this. Especially in the last three years, the world has changed a lot due to the corona crisis. If you don't do what you want when you can, you'll regret it. Miku: I'm sure the fans will accept us... I might be spoiled (laughs). But I myself have a "I'm allowed to go on stage" attitude, so I'm grateful for everything. As you get older, you're more likely to smile when you remember fun events from the past, aren't you? I hope that January 5th and 6th will be that page of my life. I want to make it the best stage for us and for everyone. I think being nostalgic for the past and smiling will also give you vitality in your life. But wouldn't it be great if something new was born? If you choose to pursue this perspective, please let me know. I think being nostalgic for the past and smiling will also give you vitality in your life. But wouldn't it be great if something new was born? If you choose to pursue this perspective, please let me know. Miku: Yes. I count on you again in the future! ~ x ~ Michiru: LoopAsh label manager (band's first label), band manager at Being.inc (2015 - 2018)

wtf is that true? 😑

Bou was my fav from AnCafe and I wondered since a while what happened to him since he left and the band kind of disbanded the last time I checked (except for the singer Miku)

(x)

bruh :( he looked so cute like this

imagine you are in a successful band and your parents say no because you don't look manly enough... which is kind of the point of visual kei besides sticking the finger to uniformity and social, gender and beauty norms

【Interview/Entrevista】An Cafe (antic cafe), Rock and Read vol.102 #3

Formed in 2003, in 2010 there was a suspension of activities, in 2012 there was a resumption of activities, in 2019 there was a new suspension of activities, in June 2022 there was a resumption of activities. The members are Miku (vocals), takuya (guitar), Kanon (bass), Yuuki (keyboards) and Teruki (drums). On January 5th (Thursday) and January 6th (Friday) 2023, they will perform at Zepp Haneda for a revival event, “LIVE CAFE 20th Anniversary 「Reiwa from First NYAPPY o(≧∀≦)o 」”. www.ancafe-20th.com Visit Nyappy Forever Web: https://nyappyforeverbr.blogspot.com/ PART #3 Michiru from LOOP ASH, who's been taking care of you since the indie days. He's a good person, isn't he?

Miku: Me, I met Michiru a lot during the hiatus. He was really worried about the members, even though I was barely active myself, wasn't he? So even though I didn't need to contact him, he did contact me saying, "Let's have lunch." Even now, he often says, "Building memories is important. Enjoy the time you spend with the other members." I feel that they are working to enrich our lives.

Michiru Michiru experienced a serious illness. Maybe that's why he teaches us the importance of living a life without regrets. By the way, when did you hear about the Osaka Muse event?

Miku: It was the end of last year. Michiru-san told me and I told Teruki about it. So Teruki got in touch with the other members.

Did the members keep in touch with each other during the hiatus?

Teruki: I helped a little bit with Kanon-san's solo, and Yuuki was there too, so there was a time when we were both involved. But we haven't seen each other much lately. As for Miku-kun and takuya, I hardly had any contact. In the midst of this, before the Muse theme came up, around last summer, I got a call from Shuto Miyazaki, an actor I have good relations with. He really likes An Cafe, and I knew from before that his mother was listening to the songs with him. His mother had cancer and listened to An Cafe all the time in her hospital room. So I contacted Miku-kun. Then Miku-kun said, "I've been indebted to a lot of people so far, and if there's anything I can do to repay them, I want to do what I can. That's why I want you to let me sing. "

Miku, do you regret your first hiatus and have you always wondered how to make up for them? Miku: A fan once told me that: "Bands don't last long, and even if you support them, they will eventually disappear. We fans don't have the right to say anything about the members' decisions, so we respect the opinions of the members. members". Even saying "Everybody's band" and singing, we feel guilty for imposing our feelings on them. A band cannot be active without fans.

Kanon: If you ask me who I play for, it's whoever wants to listen. I also continued with this thought for three and a half years.

Just as when activities stopped, a flow was gradually created, and this flow reached where the five would gather, it overlaps the moment when each of their feelings unknowingly directed them to AnCafe.

Teruki: When I heard Miku-kun's voice on the phone, I thought, "This is my family's meal!"

What does that mean?

Teruki: It was so nostalgic. That's when I couldn't hide my desire for An Cafe. Just when we were talking about things like, "I wish we could go on tour again," Muse-san appeared. I'm a former member of the band so I know it's selfish, but I really wanted to get back to playing with AnCafe so I got in touch with all three. In fact, attending the event and being interviewed with everyone like this today... Could it be that no member was against this idea. Teruki: Well, that was everyone's reaction. Takuya said, "Wow~, I wonder if I can play~" and was very worried about the schedule. takuya: Although I gave up on my own initiative, I had expectations that this day would come someday. I was so happy that I said, "Please let me play again." Teruki: What did Yuuki say? Yuuki: "I'll play~". Teruki: Kanon-san wouldn't want to wait until the announcement date that was agreed to tell people about it, so I consulted with Michiru-san and kept it a secret for a while (laughs). The day of the announcement was approaching and I told him it was time for us to talk. With Kanon's prior consent. Kanon: About half a month before the announcement, I was in a situation where I had no choice but to say "yes" (laughs). Were you sure Kanon wouldn't say no? Teruki: I thought it sure would, 99.9%. Because a year after leaving An Cafe, he attended Miku-kun's birthday event. And yet, when the five of us decided to do it, there was no way he could refuse (laughs). How did you tell Kanon about this? Teruki: Miku-kun, he and I, the 3 of us went out to eat together, but at first when I invited him saying, "Kanon-san, there's a singer who wants to sing your songs, so I'd like to introduce you. Let's go out to eat together the 3 together". Was he surprised (laughs)? Teruki: When I said I was going to introduce a singer, I was very careful and cut my hair (laughs). Kanon: I was meeting you for the first time... At the event in Osaka, you performed 6 songs on stage for 30 minutes. I was allowed to watch some of the video the team sent me, and I was surprised that the background sound was so solid compared to before the hiatus. It can be said that performance was tight overall. Teruki: I've been doing musical activities for a long time, so naturally I have to keep growing (laughs). But in terms of the rhythm section, Kanon-san's performance has improved tremendously. Kanon: We had four rehearsals, that's when I felt the difference, in the last three and a half years, the only time I really played bass was when I was recording at home. But I also had connections with other musicians, and even though I didn't play, I felt like I learned a lot just by listening to other musicians perform. I have become better able to distinguish between "this is good sound" and "this is not good", or perhaps I have had many experiences that have enriched my ears. Takuya-san said that surprisingly his body remembered the movements. takuya: I started by taking the guitar out of the warehouse and polishing it (laughs), but when I started playing it, I think I was able to play with a better feel than before. Yuuki: Before the performance, I wasn't nervous at all, and I thought it would be easy, but when I went on stage and heard the sound, my heart started to pound. However, I could feel the atmosphere in which the audience warmly welcomed us, and I was relieved. Part #3 Comming soon...
