Q6. How did you manage to be a musician in Japan?
A. I used to be a member
of a hiphop trio in Canada since I was about 16 but my true
love had always been for rock music. Fortunatley in Japan,
I was able to meet some very talented musicians, all of which
used to work or study at the same english school in Yamato
Takeda, Nara. Firstly, I hooked up with a beat boxer named
Greg from Italy and we performed our act at various cafes
around Nara. Eventually we hooked up with a couple students
of ours which happened to be guitarists and from that day
forward we were known as the Kracker Japz.
Q7. Is it a big challenge for you
to perform/have a gig in Japan? Tell me about it.
A. In regards to performing,
Japanese people are great for showing support to anyone who
gives 110 percent into a passion. We are thankful to the people
we have met along the way who have showed support and never
stopped.
Performing at gigs is a blast but one of my biggest challenges
is following the gig when the cute, genki, Music Japan TV
reporter shoves a microphone is my face and asks 20 questions
in Japanese with my only response being a "so desu ne".
The challenge is trying to keep my face from going redder
than a thai red curry.
Q8. What was your most unforgettable
experience as a musician in Japan?
A. Performing "Shakes"
("Beach, Beach wa doco desuka") at the first Whynot
Charity Seaside Live at ATC Nanko and watching a crowd of
random people storm the stage with their hands in the air.
Q9. What are your goals for future?
A. Rock out, crowd surf
at one of our shows, perform at Fujirock, get signed and be
featured on an episode of MTV Cribs
Q10. What is your favorite Japanese
words?
A. "Nandeyanen",
"Yopparai", and when asked the question do you like
Japanese food i like to say "Bimyo"
