Livestream, Hour 3

The third hour of Mili’s Q&A livestream. Cassie’s culture shocks, their favorite flowers, and song inspirations.

Cassie studied software engineering while she was in college in Canada (that’s where that knowledge of coding came from I imagine) and then she visited Japan for the first time. She immediately started making plans to move there, and finding a job there. She taught English for half a year when she first arrived there.

She says she likes making music because she gets to stay at home. She likes to stay at home.

The biggest difference between Canada and Japan was the social culture. Everyone in Canada, she says, is very friendly and compliments each other, even strangers. Such closeness with strangers is highly unusual or even deviant in Japan, and for a while that change made her feel very depressed. She remarks that she knows friends who have never hugged each other, for example, as it’s just very rare to do in Japan. People seemed cold to her at first. She’s gotten used to it now, but she still doesn’t feel Japanese; “half-Japanese and half-Canadian,” she says.

“Ugh, I can’t speak right now! I’m not drunk. I’m not drunk.”

Their friends sent them a video of them. They laughed about it.

They were asked about their favorite flowers. Yamato says that pitcher plants are his favorite, but forgets what they’re called; he says something to the effect of “you know those ones that look like a condom and they eat flies?”

Cassie likes chrysanthemums, dahlias, and lilies. She likes the first two for their “big-ass” flowers, and lilies because they last a long time.

They are considering creating a Patreon, with old abandoned demo tracks and instrumentals as incentives. Cassie wants fan feedback on this, so let her know. Yamato used to have a SoundCloud, but he deleted it (which I guess is why his old stuff is scarce.) Fans have expressed interest in unreleased songs, and they want to figure out a way for people to hear them.

Yamato speaks Japanese for a good long time. Cassie dances in her seat to the royalty-free music they’re playing in the background.

A fan said “I love you, Mili.” Cassie replies, “I LOVE YOU TOO. MMWAH.”

Cassie says that South Park is one of the strangest inspirations she has used for a song - that song being “sustain++;”. Apparently people who watch the show will recognize this inspiration in the second half of the song. While it’s also based on the cyberpunk themes of GitS, apparently the character Craig was her muse on this one. fuckin superb you funky lil musician

South Park is not at all popular in Japan, and can be difficult to find online. Yamato says that Japanese people don’t really find it funny, because the satire doesn’t come across as easily. Because Japan is “less liberal” than America, the jokes are sometimes “too real” for the Japanese audience.

Cassie does research for some of the songs - which she seems to define as looking at random shit on Wikipedia for a few hours - for inspiration.

Yamato wrote Yubikiri-Genman for his wedding ceremony, though he’s not sure if the song is about him and his (now-ex) wife or not. It was a pre-Mili creation, in his old band. He used Hatsune Miku as the vocalist in the demo he sent Cassie when they decided to remake the song as Mili, which they laugh about.

They were asked what the best way is to support Mili; Cassie says that streaming it on Spotify and watching their videos online is the best way to support them. Don’t not buy CDs, she says, and listen to them if you have them, but the best way to give continuous support is to stream online. She also says that telling your friends and spreading their posts online is a good way. Most of their everyday expenses are covered by the money they make off streaming alone.

“RETWEET, FAVE, COMMENT AND SUBSCRIBE. I’m just kidding.”
