The cover:


Hai, hai! I'm right here! XD

Among all the birth of units in Hello! Project, Sept. 2004, suddenly, a new unit appeared, Viyuden. At that time, the leader, Ishikawa Rika was still doing activities in Morning Musume. And with the authentic debut, new comers Miyoshi Erika and Okada Yui, starting this new unit, release their 4th single with a “a little bit sexy” concept. It’s been one year since they debuted, and now, an interview that you can deeply feel their enthusiasm and love.


The release of you single “Kurenai no Kisetsu” on Oct. 5, the chorus gently shines and the sexy number fits perfectly with fall.

Miyoshi: The song before, “Hitorijime,” also was adult-like, but this time, it’s even more adult-like. Reading the lyrics, it teases, but I think it’s a very pure women.

Ishikawa: This is the first time we aren’t in unison. Because it was told to us that we sing sexy and adult-like, the 3 of us are each our own protagonist and each have our own expression, but since it takes time to understand the lyrics, it is the most troublesome before the recording. When the 3 of us received the lyrics we all thought, “These are amazing lyrics. Do we think of the lyrics this way?” Even though it’s the devil, this is a women’s look, so Tsunku, who wrote it, is really amazing. (laughs). But if we become more like adults, I sing thinking that we may experience this too.


Do you guys often meet to talk about the song?

Ishikawa: Yes. About “Kurenai,” I just thought it was about autumn colors and crimson colors and Okada had the same interpretation, but Erika said the lyrics has the feelings of a women of “I won’t let you touch me, I won’t let you embrace me,” but the if a male sees it, it would be “she won’t let me touch her, she won’t embrace me.” At first, when we heard it, we thought, “Aren’t you thinking too much?” But, that was Tsunku’s meaning in including the title. We were all excited, “Oh, you sure did it Miyoshi!”


I see, that is why the title “Kurenai” is in katakana. On the other hand, the title of the coupling impacts the tune perfectly.

Ishikawa: At first, when I saw the title, “Naishin Kya- Kya- dawa!” I was totally surprised and when I heard the song, I was scared.

Miyoshi: When I heard it, I thought it was a cute song of a girl’s mind.
Ishikawa: Up to now, we had a lot of songs with a sexy punch, but this time it was said that we would sing a cute song. But since I have been in a lot of units until now and have been on the road of singing cute songs, so I felt something like, “Ah, it’s been awhile,” and I’m able to use my cute voice as much as I want, but for the other two, it’s their first.

Okada: Yes. This is the first time the recording took a long time. I planned to sing [kyabi? Kyapi?], but without saying it was “dark” (laughs). “Ishikawa is good” and I learned.


You have faced a new challenge. There’s the taste of both the charm of  a “women” and “girl” in this single, but on Oct. 26, the 1st album is expected to go on sale.

Ishikawa: From the debut single up until now, the history is Viyuden is packed together. I might love it myself, but I realized as I listen that I really love Viyuden’s songs. Therefore, I really look forward to the album.

Miyoshi: I really happy that the album will be released and I will treasure the recordings and I want to do my very best in singing.

Okada: I have been jealous of the older members in releasing albums, so I’m really happy.


Speaking of looking forward to it, after the release of the album, the expectations of the live tour has gone up, but it’s your first all standing live isn’t it?

Ishikawa: Yes, that’s so. I have gone to see a Melon Kirenbi live, but the climax of a standing live is different. Viyuden has lots of courageous songs, so I think it will be quite [pumped up]. In order to convey the best things, I will try my best, so in order to come home completely satisfied, the 3 of us want to have a fun concert.

Okada: I want to see a more power up-ed Viyuden, since the last concert. I want to jump intensely.

Miyoshi: At the time of the first concert, I was thinking of lots of things, but experiencing a concert once, I found my theme, so this time, I want to see my growth.


It seems that lots of points are full, so I look forward to it. It’s been one year since Viyuden’s debut, but since your graduation in May, has your thinking to Viyuden changed?

Ishikawa: If I realized it, it has changed. When I was doing Morning Musume activities, it was a time period of one year, but now, if I look back, it was pretty long. Before my graduation, there was little opportunities for us to be together, but after, we are together everyday, so I want to learn more about the other two. I want them to tell their feelings, so while spending time with them, my thinking has changed. Up to now, my feelings to Viyuden have been overwhelming, day by day the feelings of wanting us to be definitely successful has been growing stronger. My time of doing activities are long, so for them, I think the feelings of me being a older member will be strong, but since all of us started at the same place in Viyuden, I think we want to have the same feelings. Up to now, I really have done lots of units, but this is the first that the completely different individualities of the three of us are gathered together. If you test our mentality, the three of us separate neatly, and doesn’t go around in circles, so I think this was a fateful meeting. We each have our own spontaneity, so when the three of us are pumped up, there’s no stopping. That’s no joke (laughs).


Ahaha. This is you first debut in Viyuden, Miyoshi and Okada, so when you started this unit with Ishikawa, was there a fair amount of pressure?

Miyoshi: Yes. In this one year, there was three steps within myself… first, when I debuted with the name Viyuden, I didn’t have an image like Ishikawa for people watching T.V., so I thought I was with a really amazing person. While I was desperately trying to catch up, everyday passed by quickly. After that, when Ishikawa graduated from Morning Musume, the time I meet with Ishikawa was small, there was like a wall between us… even though we are Viyuden, I felt that we didn’t communicate the feelings of the 3 of us. But after the graduation, the time that we spend together increased and I thought that the 3 of us will have a good unit… At that moment, I felt that I grew. When it was first concert, Ishikawa called asking, “Aren’t you worried?” and she mentioned how she wanted the 3 of us to have the same feelings at the concert. After that, we went for lunch and talked about our feelings at that time and our objectives; moreover, I felt that we strengthened our bond. Up to now, we discover new surfaces everyday that from one year ago to now, we are completely different.

Okada: I was myself, but when I first joined, I couldn’t remember the dances at all and I didn’t know anything, but recently, I have been remembering the dances a little bit faster (laughs). Furthermore, I have come to hold confidence in myself. In the beginning, I didn’t talk to Ishikawa at all, but after the concert, we talk, but I’m scared of the older members… (laughs).

Ishikawa: When I’m there, it goes silent and I wonder if those two are really energetic (laughs). But when I just joined Morning Musume, when the 4 of us of the same generation, including Tsuji and Kago, we are loud, but if the older members come, it goes silent. Since I have experienced that, I had feelings of wanting to shorten the distance between us.

Okada: Right now it’s really fun. I feel that work will become even more fun.


You were able to face a really good situation.

Ishikawa: One year has passed and I think I’m able to see what Viyuden is. From now, there will various songs and various challenges and I want to keep running while always holding onto the goal. I think before Morning Musume’s hit song, “Love Machine,” came out, they also had hardships, but I don’t know that. Since I joined the group after that, starting from zero of myself was itself a challenge. Therefore, while doing new challenges with Viyuden and the two of them, I have been gaining experience and occasionally, I would face in a different direction and lots of different things happened. But, now each of our roads become one and it’s really fun.


Awesome, the pb cover is out... *waits patiently for release date*

Thanks Fen, you rock! :w00t:

Quote from: Rika
At first, when I saw the title, “Naishin Kya- Kya- dawa!” I was totally surprised and when I heard the song, I was scared.

It's so cute that it's scary like marimari would say :lol:

Quote from: Rika
From the debut single up until now, the history is Viyuden is packed together. I might love it myself, but I realized as I listen that I really love Viyuden’s songs. Therefore, I really look forward to the album.

Man, that album must be good. Even Rika's looking forward to it :D

Quote from: Erika
After that, we went for lunch and talked about our feelings at that time and our objectives; moreover, I felt that we strengthened our bond.

Holy Shit! They finally confessed their true feelings.
Rika + Erika = :heart:  :sex:

Quote from: Yui
In the beginning, I didn’t talk to Ishikawa at all, but after the concert, we talk, but I’m scared of the older members… (laughs).

That's the good ol' Yui :lol:

Quote from: Rika
Before my graduation, there was little opportunities for us to be together, but after, we are together everyday, so I want to learn more about the other two. I want them to tell their feelings, so while spending time with them, my thinking has changed. Up to now, my feelings to Viyuden have been overwhelming, day by day the feelings of wanting us to be definitely successful has been growing stronger.

I wonder what Rika meant when she said that  :twisted:
I guess it's natural to fall in love with people you see everyday. Viyuden is slowly becoming the japanese version of Tatu  :oops:

Just as an observer, it's been pretty easy to see that the group, particularly Yui & Erika, has matured over the past year. You can tell they are more confident, and the group seems to be just that—more of a real "group" and less of an experiment. This interview really shows how all three members are committed to keeping Biyuden going along at a steady pace. Let's hope the sales start to pick up too.

Thanks for the translation Fenrir! It was a really interesting read.

Crap. I'm amazed they even cracked the top 10 at all. This time, they appeared on ZERO music shows before it hit the streets. WTF!!  :evil:

Wonder if they'll get a new single before the new year? Maybe the Anna Sui will re-hash Kurenai as a jingle?
