a bunch of poorly-machine-translated questions from vacon's ask.fm
i don't feel like linking the individual questions so my source is "dude trust me"
a few are kinda nsfw so watch out
Q: What do you think about the culture of hip-hop diss tracks? A: There are many ways to diss, so it stays fresh-- I think it's special that even when the lyrics are just raw hatred, it's still quite acceptable as a piece of music!
Q: What's something you'll keep believing until you die? A: Simply put, be yourself!
Q: What do you ask for at Starbucks? A: Ice cocoa (soy milk) (without ice), and, American waffle
Q: Do you tend to compare your current romantic partner to your past ones? A: Neveeer! Nobody should do that! There's nothing more self-righteous, meaningless, and foolish than to shove someone into some stereotypical "lover" archetype and then measure them by some arbitrary yardstick. What is the value of comparing one person to another? Never let someone else's made-up words frame something so formless and precious! Always use your own senses to go about it delicately! Boys and girls!
Q: Do you find songwriting to be a burden? Or, do you enjoy the process? A: For me, songwriting is just plain fun! It is a quiet immersion in the pleasure of a large puzzle that is nearing completion. (I sound like a pervert when I write this.) Struggling to find the pieces is also a pleasure! I have my ups and downs no matter where I go, so I accept the slumps and go along with it. I'm not good at anything else. LOL
Q: Was it largely due to Diggy-MO's influence that you fell in love with the English language? A: I'm sure that Diggy is the biggest influence on me, but it was actually Mr. Ichikawa, my English homeroom teacher in the third year of junior high school, who gave me the opportunity to fall in love with the subject. I hated it until then, that English…
Q: How long do you take baths for? A: Thaaat's ・ aaaaa ・ ssssseeecret ♡
Q: Should I keep my nails short? A: Everyone should keep their nails short in case of a serious fist fight. If they are long, the force will unintentionally disperse into your nails, scarring yourself. Put your strength only in your fists. Understand?
Q: I've been sleeping naked lately. Do you also sleep naked? Or in your underwear? A: Quite a while ago, I slept naked with the AC on and got hypothermia and almost died for reals, so I'm wearing pajamas……. No, I'm not sure how a slight drop in body temperature could make a person feel like I did. I thought it would be better to go up a little…
Q: What do you like at McDonalds? A: I'm addicted to McFlurries. It's bad. Diabetes is inevitable.
Q: The most important thing(s) you look for in a boyfriend/girlfriend? A: I like a lot of alone time, so I wonder if they'll respect that.
Q: How much do you spend on food monthly? A: I did the math and broke out in a cold sweat, so I guess I'll stop thinking about it any further… (finished)
Q: I feel like I hate everything. Do you ever feel that way? A: "I hate everything"! When you feel like this, the intensity of that feeling will consume you, but it never lasts. Such vague yet extreme feelings. You should go to sleep immediately.
Q: Are you good at English?? Please teach me English~~ A: I'm not very good at it, but I like it a lot.
Q: Tell me the happiest moment of your life! A: This place called VACON, it's something that everybody came together and created.
Q: Tell us about your ideal album! (Number of songs, total runtime, whether or not there are instrumentals/interludes, etc…) A: I think the ideal number of songs is between 13 and 20. If there are instrumentals, it could be more than 20. Time should be 75 minutes or less. I love album versions of existing songs. I would love it if the beginning and the second half of the album were different. A strange album with all the different songs would be great. I guess it's something like that!
Q: What if your son or daughter wanted to be a rapper? A: I'd support them with all my strength. However, in the case of girls, if they go in the direction of loose-fitting subculture poetry or fake rap, I might want them to quit while they're in high school LOL. I want you to rap powerfully and coolly like Nicki Minaj and Pink, my daughter whom I have not seen yet!!!
Q: What are the main influences for your lyrics? A: Delusions, imagination, recollection.
Q: How has your experience at StudioLama benefitted you in your current creative endeavors? A: LamaOS was fun like a culture festival until I finished it, but I then realized that this wasn't what I wanted to do.
Q: You mentioned that Suckie Fxxxie Pop is a maniacal song like ニタニタTHERAPY, but I personally felt the flashiness/flamboyance all the way through the chorus. Please tell us why you consider the song maniacal! A: Ah~~~ I did mention that a while ago, I missed it ~ I'm glad you remember me so well. It was short, and with the theme being what it was, I felt like I had created an elusive song. Who on earth would understand it? I worried like that, LOL. However, I was conscious of creating a rather expansive sound, and developing it! I wanted to give the song a little bit of sweetness and sourness and sadness. I didn't want it to just be a lewd song…
Q: When you are creating, do you ever accidentally make a song that resembles an existing song, like "Hey, maybe I've heard this somewhere before"? It seems like the more history there is, the harder it is to be original. Have you ever had problems with this sort of thing? A: Something like that~ Some say that there are too many melodies already. I don't want to believe it. I'm always worried that the melody may have already existed. But we have to create. You should use the momentum to give shape to something that you are in the mood for, and let it exist for now. Whether or not you publish it, I believe that creating this way will lead you to your next creation.
Q: What made you start working out? A: I thought it was time to lose weight or I would die (seriously).
Q: When you were in high school, did you choose Japanese history or world history? A: It was world history! I wanted to know the world. (sophisticated)
Q: When you find criticism of yourself, do you get depressed? Or do you just take it in stride and use it as a reference for your future work? A: I do sometimes feel empty about it, but I don't dwell on it. I'll forget it soon! …But the people who were saying bad things about Ms. Saegusa in Binetsu Parade are now toiling in my basement.
Q: Is Vacon's preference for Western music due to language differences rather than musicality? A: Maybe. In terms of musicality, I think either has its own irreplaceable charm. There are sounds and grooves that can only be found overseas, and that can only be found in Japan!
Q: I have a high voice, but I really admire VACON'S voice, let's exchange vocal cords……………… A: Thank you very much. As for me, I envy those who have a high voice. I'd like to sing Bruno Mars in the original key at least once in my life.
Q: How did Vacon come across Nicorap? A: I guess it was ill.bell. Heh, I still like him…
Q: Which country would you like to visit before you die? A: Iceland! [ <- he mentions iceland a ton when asked about travelling ]
Q: I've gained 3kg before I knew it. Advice on losing weight? A: As I am becoming more and more indifferent to weight gain and loss, I think you are slim in spirit and are aware of the need to lose weight when you gain it. If you start to look like me, it's all over. Good luck.
Q: Do guys hate it when girls tell them they're cute? I told this to a male friend, and he gave me a subtle look. I thought I was complimenting him, but…..? Are you happy about it? A: That subtle look means he's trying hard to hide his embarrassment! I don't feel bad about it, but I do feel a little embarrassed, like "give me a break!"
Q: Do you like being scared? A: I love scary things!! I can afford a good scare or two!! Yes, I heard that the upcoming movie "Hereditary" is quite scary. I'm gonna go see it. I'm looking forward to it.
Q: How can I get the virginity of someone I love? A: Oh!!!!! Go get it!!!!!
Q: Do you prefer to pay by cash or by card? A: Definitely credit card!!! Because I don't feel like I'm spending any money!!! (idiot)
Q: People who play music are all weirdos, aren't they? A: All human beings are weird. Everyone's weird in some way. Those who are not strange are strange for not being strange! Weirdness is individuality. Let's nurture it and love it.
Q: How do you come up with such beautiful lyrics? I like them. A: I simply don't worry about how clean or dirty they are. Thank you. (But I do say fuck-fuck-fuck in most of them…)
Q: Do you have any hobbies other than music? A: Watching movies. If there's a work that interests me, I will immediately make time to watch it!
Q: Are you the type of person who can cook? A: I do a lot of cooking on my own, but I am a slave to recipes. Cookpad is god! Yep!
Q: What is your fetish? A: If I had to choose, I'd say it's the mouth! [ <- he got asked this question twice and said mouth both times ]
Q: I love Vacon's choice of words, so beautiful… I imagine that he is a kind person… am I being deceived? A: Even I can be harsh at times! The other day, when I was working as a torturer, a side job I started as an extension of my hobby, I didn't listen to any of the POWs begging for their lives!
Q: Is the torture officer side business doing well? How can I become a prisoner? A: I use rubber gloves less often these days! Don't be a prisoner. I shudder to think of torturing my lovely angels. I hope all of you are happy, every last one of you.
Q: How are you so cool, sexy, genius, humorous, kind, and irresistible? A: That's just how you see me!! This is embarrassing ~~ i'm honestly happy ~~
Q: What kind of person does Vacon become when he gets angry? A: The kind that shuts up! [ <- or "the kind that is silent" ]
Q: What instruments does VACON handle when composing? A: Piano and very occassionally guitar! I only tinker with them to get ideas flowing! I can hardly play them!
Q: I'm not sure if I should cut my hair! Can you tell me if you prefer short or long hair? A: Oh… you're asking for my preference? I guess it all depends on your face and general style! I like the hair that's unique to that person more than anything else! It sparkles the most!
Q: Is Vacon-san self-taught in music composition and other musical knowledge? I love music and would like to learn, but I would like to know where you started! My dream is to one day create a cool track and give it to Vacon….? A: "Daigasso! Band Brothers" on the Nintendo DS was my introduction to music composing. At first, I was just having fun typing in my favorite songs by ear, but once I got the hang of composing, I discovered the joy of creating my own music! This is not the type of game where you have to rhythmically press buttons in time with the finished music, but a game where you press buttons to play and become part of the music. I can play while understanding how it's created. And moreover… oh no, I'm talking too much…! Ahahahaha!!! I am looking forward to your track offerings….?
Q: Please reveal something private about yourself. A: You pervert!
Q: I love Vacon's laugh so much, I've listened to it hundreds of times on repeat, but I still can't get enough! What to do… what to do… (˙-˙) A: So dirty!!!
Q: Are you afraid of falling in love? A: I heard it hurts to fall in love if you're in too deep…
Q: What's the most interesting thing in your room? A: Donkey Konga
Q: What would you buy if you had the money for it? A: KFC's Red Hot Chicken! (fat)
Q: Please tell me your height and weight! A: Ehh-- I dunno, cuz I've never measured it, cuz I was born and raised in the jungle.
Q: Vacon-san… virgin… you are a virgin… please tell me you're a virgin! A:
Tumblr media
[ i'm serious he just responded with this gif ]
Q: What's the best medicine for a broken heart? A: Tears, of course! Cry as much as you can.
Q: Are your ears pierced? A: I don't have an opening. I've never even thought about it. I don't know much about fashion.
Q: I found out about VACON from Bad Romance. He is very husky and erotic, and I liked him immediately. I will continue to support him. My question is, what do you think of nqrse? Do you have a good relationship with each other? Do you ever collaborate? A: Thank you! I'm afraid that sexiness was mostly because of nqrse-chan's assist and Giga-san's mix. I think nqrse is a hard worker. He also has a great sense of humor. He is witty. I think we have a good relationship. (We don't keep in touch very often, but… LOL) We have two projects in progress! Working with nqrse-chan is stimulating and gives me a lot of experience, so I'd like to make it happen more and more!
Q: vacon-san!!! I like you!!! A: Shut up, ya old hag!! You could at least knock!! (rebellious)
Q: I really really like Vacon's voice, but what should I do about this feeling? A: I will try my best not to deteriorate. I don't like to drink or smoke, so I guess I can do whatever. I just have to make sure not to use it too strangely…
Q: I love Vacon!!!!! By the way, I am an active high school girl virgin!!!! I have no questions!!!!! A: Wow, thank you! I've been into black magic lately, so I was just in the market for some young virgin's lifeblood! But I need at least two liters… no? (๑o̴̶̷᷄﹏o̴̶̷̥᷅๑)
Q: What kind of cake do you like? A: Chocolate cake! Mont Blanc cake!! Ice cream cake!!! (fat) Q: My boyfriend told me about Vacon and I'm hooked. I love Vacon more than my boyfriend and I don't know what to do. A: Please give him to me. That boyfriend Q: Is there a poster on your wall? Post a photo! A: That's right
