Aru: Thank you for giving us the opportunity to have an interview with you. I invite you to introduce the band to our readers and to explain how it was born.
B.L: Hi, we’re glad to make your acquaintance! We are BLACK LINE! At the Beginning, Mikaru and Syu -1- met a number of guitarists and bassists in order to complete the band. After a long research, Yudai and Jun joined the group. There is a reason for such a long timing: we were firmly committed to create a band capable to be better of “Dio – Distraught Overlord”. It was challenging to find such valuable members… we made you wait!
-1- Both former members of DIO –DISTRAUGHT OVERLORD – (Dio – Distraught Overlord), the second one with the former name of DENKA.
Aru: why you choose “BLACK LINE” as band’s name?
B.L: Because it’s intended as the birth of “black blood” i.e. the birth of “black breed”. “Black” means absence of colour. It is made to spread all around the World and never run out, “drilling” (the World) by means of an original style (Editor’s note: indeed a fascinating, deep and cryptic definition). Furthermore, it can be intended as a black path. The deep significance is “going ahead without fearing to be on unknown road and never surrender”. Beside this, is a symbol of great emotional strength.
Aru: Why Mikaru and Syu decided to found a band characterized by a style that differs so much from that of DIO?
B.L: Because the vampire becomes used to live within the Human community just gradually (laugh).
Aru: Which is the leading theme of your songs? What is your source of inspiration?
B.L: Every song got its own history and its specific scenario, like a movie. A movie is capable to impress and stimulate people, leading them to think. A movie, for us, is like a song.
