An Interview with Gan-Shin Records about the J-Rock in Germany

I have found an interview with the label Gan-Shin Records in about that is spoken that the Japanese music (especially J rock) conquers Germany.

J rock? For a lot of one more foreign word in this country. Rock from Japan? Is there this generally? And how should to the devil this sound?

However, above all in growing Manga-and Animeszene the hard sounds from Japan take pleasure since fairly long time of big popularity. The newly founded label Gan-Shin has come along it now to the task to get rock from the land of the rising sun to Germany and, in the end, Europe and to do accessibly to a wide audience. Sold off concert halls of tape like you En Grey agree with them, on this occasion.

In an interview Deville stack of Gan-Shin explained to us, why J rock should not remain a foreign word in Germany furthermore and information about the purposes and ambitions of Gan-Shin Records gives us.

MAS:
Let me at first ask: How and was when your label Gan-Shin founded? What can they say to us closer in addition? How does one have the idea to found a label for Japanese rock?

Deville Schober:
Gan-Shin Records in July, 2005 founded. How it came to the label: Deville Schober, manager of Brainstorm music marketing was within the scope of a meeting in Munich and has seen there by chance D ` espairsRay poster. Because the tape was absolutely unknown to him, he has sent a Brainstorm to talent scout to the concert to Berlin. The feedback of the scout was extremely positive. As a result a meeting with the organizer of the concert Neo Tokyo was attached. With this meeting Brainstorm of Neo Tokyo in the Visual Kei, J rock became a scene sent. The information was for us very much, very full of suspense. Because Brainstorm belongs to the biggest German rock doctorate-Companies and disposes of a 15-year-old experience in the marketing of tape, we to look came for the decision from now on after the marketing Japanese Acts.
Fakt: We found together with Neo Tokyo a label and catch to interesting tape from Japan in Germany / Europe to market.

MAS:
By which explain you yourselves the growing inquiry of J rock in Germany? Do they see a direct connection with the steadily zunhemenden interest in Manga/Anime and therefore also J-Culture generally in Germany? How important is, on this occasion, the collaboration with professional magazines like the AnimaniA?

Deville Schober:
For it there are several reasons. Of course it has to do what with the Anime and Mangakultur and their growth.
The Fakt is important, however, also that Japanese tape travel now in Germany and with it also for the press are available. The media echo of the last months was fantastic and makes the Acts more known. We know that the Visus do not see so with pleasure because they are afraid that one takes away the scene from them. In addition the following: No Visu in Germany must be afraid, the real Visual Kei fans will have always the projection and are identical.
AnimaniA is an important cooperation partner for us, anyway, herewith we thank....

LM.C Interview at Anime Expo 2008

Fresh after their performance at Battle of the Bands at Anime Expo 2008 in Los Angeles, LM.C took a moment to speak with Jrock Revolution about their very first performance in the United States. Read more in this exclusive interview!

JRR: First of all, please start off by introducing each other.

maya: Ok, I’ll be introducing Aiji. He plays the guitar. We are from the same province, and we’ve known each other for a long time. He is a great senpai, and plays wonderful guitar.

Aiji: This is maya, he sings and generally does the vocals, MCs, and guitar as well. On the front end his part is to sing, but he does play the guitar on the backend. He is good at making the senpai buy him lunches/dinners. He is such a—

maya: Cute guy.

Aiji: Rather, he leads a “tanabota” life. Basically, he is a “lucky boy.”

(Group laughter)

JRR: This is your first time here as LM.C, welcome to the U.S. We’d like you to know that you are one of the most popular bands amongst the Jrock Revolution.com forum that people wish to see for a future Jrock Revolution Festival. You are very popular amongst our forum members.

maya: Really? I wasn’t aware of that. We’d love to if there’s the opportunity. We are quite booked this year, but America isn’t that far; it’s just about 10 hours of flight, so we could definitely come if there’s a chance.

JRR: When you formed LM.C, did you already taken into consideration that you would like to expand to the international arena?

maya: Yes, we did from the beginning.

Aiji: Yes.

maya: We wanted to start from Asian countries which are closer to Japan than America is, such as Taiwan and Korea. We talked quite a bit about going to those countries.
