Hi,this is Takeshi Hosomi (vocal/guitar) answering the questions.First of all,apologies for my late reply.We just finished out Japan tour on March 3rd.First,some of our readers may not be entirely familiar with Ellegarden.Perhaps you could describe the musical style of the band,and give a brief history of it’s formation.ELLEGARDEN is a band that loves live gigs.We usually play fast BPM tracks but we also make sure to write songs with great melodies.Some of the most interesting stories are those of a musician’s influences.Where did each of you grow up,and did growing up in that city or neighbourhood affect your individual musical style?Also,are there any influences to speak of that may have brought about the musical stlye of the band Ellegarden as a whole?The drummer is from Tokyo and the rest are from Chiba prefecture.I grew up in the countryside so I tend to lean towards the more humane and natural qualities than the refined qualities that the city offers.Most of the band’s songs are written and composed by me so you may find those tastes reflected in the songs.On the same topic of musical interests,is there an artist or band (indie or mainstream) that you make an effort to see whenever they are playing near you?Also,did you ever have the chance to be a supporting act for one of your favourite bands?I went to most of Weezer’s Japan concerts.Last year we were the support band for my favorite Canadian band,SUM41.Is there a particular venue and/or city in North America that you are looking forward to playing,whether or not you will actually be playing there during this tour?Why?California,especially San Francisco,‘cause I used to live there for a bit and my friends still live there With that in mind,is there a venue or city in Japan which you (individually,or as a band) would consider your favourite to play in?Is it because of the fans,or is there
