After a very positive concert in Klub Re in Cracow, Poland, JaME sat down with mouse on the keys members Akira Kawasaki, Atsushi Kiyota and Daisuke Niitome to speak about their third European tour. In this short interview, they told us why they like Poland and what plans they have for the near future.


So, how was today?

Akira Kawasaki: Today was very good. So exciting.

Did anything special happen during this tour?

Akira Kawasaki: Having a tour is a special thing. It’s already so special.

You are doing this tour by yourself, right?

Daisuke Niitome: Yes.

Was it more difficult than the tour you did last year? Did you meet with any difficulties this time?

Daisuke Niitome: Yes. We booked each venue by ourselves this time. It was not easy but I think it’s good. We wanted to shoot a video this time. You know, there’s a cameraman with us this time, so we wanted to choose a venue which we liked. And we like this venue because we held a concert here last time and it was so good. The venue and audience were very good.

I’m very happy to hear that! We also had a good time. So, when will the video be released?

Akira Kawasaki: Hopefully, we can release the DVD in August or September. But we are not sure. We need to check if the video is good. If it’s good, we want to release it. But basically, the release will be in Japan. I’m not sure if we can release the DVD abroad. We will figure it out.

Hopefully, you can take this DVD with you on your next tour so we can buy it during your concerts.

Daisuke Niitome: Aaah, yes, yes. You are right.

You seem to like Europe. What is so special in Europe that makes you come back every time for tours and concerts?

Atsushi Kiyota: Presently, we can only come to Europe aside from Japan. In the future, we want to go to United States or other places. A lot of places. We want to go to many more places. But now we only know the way to Europe.

Daisuke Niitome: That’s why we come here a lot and hopefully we can go to other places too. Basically, we want to come to Europe because we love performing in Europe.

Akira Kawasaki: We love coming to Europe. Now we come to Europe twice a year and we want to keep it that way. Also, we like Poland. We couldn’t come to Poland during the previous tour —the second tour — so we talked about it and decided to come to Poland this time. We want to come to here every time we have a tour because we like this country. We came to Poland this time and noticed that we really like the country, so for next tour, we really want to come back.

And we in Poland like mouse on the keys very much, so I hope we will see you here again very soon. Please give a final message to JaME readers.

Atsushi Kiyota: I want to come here again in six months, so come to see us.

Akira Kawasaki: We want to play new songs next time, so why won’t you come to hear it on our show?

Daisuke Niitome: Please spread our music via your site and in Poland more and more. We want more people to come and see us. We also opened new website, so please check it out.


Thank you very much!
