Zy 56: vistlip

vistlip has finally returned to the scene! They announced the fanclub limited free live on their official homepage and members' blogs on February 16th, and also announced they would appear in stylish wave the next day. What’s more, during the fanclub limited live, they announced that they’ll start their long awaited tour on May 7th (final live is on July 7th in ZEPP TOKYO), and will release their new single on June 1st. This is the last interview of Zy., in which the five members who lost their dearest staff member in an accident, talked to us about the past six months.


First of all, as a representative of Zy., welcome back!!

Umi: We are happy to be able to make it in the last issue. And we appear on the last page of Zy., which is fantastic, don’t you think?

When I see this magazine in a book store, I’ll turn it around so vistlip will appear in front!! (laugh)

Umi: Mr. Yamaguchi, the editor, said the same thing. (laugh)

Tomo: How long have we appeared in Zy.?

Your first interview was when you released Sara. (Zy. No.42, released on September 1st, 2008)

Tomo: So we have appeared in it for most of our career. It’s great.

Tohya: We are really thankful for everything up until now.

Rui: I enjoyed your interviews every time.

Yuh: I hope you are happy from now on.

That makes us sound like we seemed unhappy. (laugh)

Yuh: No, no, no! I mean we want you to be even happier!!

I see, of course. (laugh) I’m kind of hesitating to ask you this, especially just as you have come back, but I don’t think anyone would have been surprised if you didn’t come back… especially after all that has happened.

Tomo: That’s true.

By continuing vistlip maybe you would find it difficult to get away from that accident… I think that fans, staff, everyone thought it would be better if you didn’t force yourselves to continue. What enabled you to come back?

The V.I.P LiST fanclub limited live, which was scheduled to take place in Harajuku Astro Hall on Thursday March 17th, was postponed due to the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami that occurred on March 11th. We are discussing the details of the data and location, and will announce on the V.I.P.LiST official site when it will be, so please check the fan club site V.I.P.LiST.
