Antique Cafe/An Cafe

Thanks a bunch for the scans Nan-chan!!!

OMG! Takuya looks amazing!!!! He looks a bit different in the third scan.
Lmao Kanon is such a nerd! :D He's even feeding his figuring! lol but thats why i love him
 
here's an interview that ancafe did with shojo beat a little while back


SB: In the June issue, we announced that An Cafe was the Rising Star winner in the Shoujo Beat ANnual Music Awards. Since then, one of your original members, Bou, has left the band and you've added Takuya on guitar and YU-KI (lol what) on keyboards. How have the new members changed the dynamic of the music?
AN CAFE: It may be hard to notice on CD, but our live sound got richer from having YU-KI play keyboard.

SB: There's some debate among fans in the US about whether you're an Oshare Kei or Visual Kei band -- what do you consider yourselves?
AN CAFE: You can call us either one. But if we have to categorize ourselves, we'd say "An Cafe-kei"!

SB: Many Visual Kei bands are thought to be somewhat melancholy, but An Cafe has the reputation of being upbeat and positive. Are you different from your Visual Kei brethren?
AN CAFE: We think so. We don't limit ourselves to what many people think Visual Kei artists should be.

SB: There's obviously an element of androgyny in your appearances -- so, who in the band is the cutest, and who is the most stylish?
AN CAFE: The one with the cutest look is Miku and the one with the cutest heart is YU-KI ( what is up with that spelling of it? ) *laugh*. The dark one is Kanon.

SB: Where do you shop for your clothes?
AN CAFE: Harajuku!!

SB: How was it playing the last concert with Bou when he was leaving?
AN CAFE: WE wanted to make the concert a place where the rest of the band members, together with our staff members and Cafe-kko, would show our appreciation to Bou for the wonderful four years that he was in An Cafe.

SB: How do you feel about your "Cafe-kko"?
AN CAFE: They are our source of energy and part of our family. We support one another.

SB: What other bands do you currently listen to? Who would you like to play with?
Miku: Sadie
Kanon: Nana Mizuki
Teruki: Janne Da Arc
Takuya: Dream Theater
YU-KI: Ayumi Hamasaki

SB: Your music ranges from loud, fast-paced rock songs to more poppy, lighter fare. What inspires each type of song?
AN CAFE: The individual character and uniqueness of each member contributes to us making different types of songs.

SB: Have you succeeded in making the word you invented, "Nyappy", which means An Cafe's unique kind of goodness, into slang that people are using?
AN CAFE: Not yet! We want people all over the world to use this word.

SB: Why did you come up with that word?
AN CAFE: We came up with it because we wanted a common language with our fans.

SB: There's a rumour that Kanon got his name from a manga series--which is it?
AN CAFE: Yes, that's true. It came from a manga by Kusumoto Maki.

SB: Do you read any manga currently? If so, which one?
Miku: NANA
Kanon: D.Gray-man
Teruki: Manga by Tezuka Osamu
Takuya: Naruto
YU-KI: Ichigo 100%

SB: Please send a message to your American fans.
SB: We definitely want to go back to America. A concert, handshake session, etc... whatever it is, we'll be there if there are fans waiting for us. Nyappy!
 
^^ thanks!

lmao "An Cafe-kei"

SB: We definitely want to go back to America. A concert, handshake session, etc... whatever it is, we'll be there if there are fans waiting for us. Nyappy!

They should definitely do that! I'll be waiting! :-)

Kanon the nerd! XD 😍 Takuya and Yuuki look really great and cute.. I rofled at Yuuki's cow-print outfit..XD And Teruki.. omg.. who knew he had those kind of legs!! XD 😍

Thanks ndk! Yuuki with the cutest heart.. 😍
 
@NDK
Thanks for the interview xD True. Miku is cutest and Yuuki has a really young and cute heart xD Im surprised they asked abt that nyappy word xD Gosh, yuuki's reading Ichigo 100% xD That's a rather stupid manga lol... As its smth like an ichigo underwear which causes a huge commotion lol xD
 
^arm piercing?!?!? @_@ did not know about that...

what does everyone think of the new single?! i bought it, and it's packaged so pretty! but the song itself is a little eh to me... the other songs on the single i like though, and the pv is SO PRETTY... i really like it... the pv actually makes me love the song while im watching it... too bad that feeling doesnt stay ;_; its just the chorus, i think... its cliche and i dunno...

anyone else?
 
I only liked the song kakusei heroism. i didnt really like the other songs. the pv was okay, i prefer their older ones more.

oh and everyone, go vote for Kanon in jntm 2! ^^

Nan desu ka, thank you for the translation! I love when Miku listens to Sadie xDDDDDD and he reads Nana too LOLz!!!!!!!

Thanks! ^^ I love the qns they asked xD But somehow Miku's answers are contradicting... He doesn haf the desire to get marry and what's that line about making a family in old age for? Lol...

@NDK
Im grabbing ur wallies!! Looked really awesomic!
 
ahah.. the miku interview <3! Why does everyone want to become Kanon...=.=.. I read the Takuya interview somewhere and he wanted to be Kanon too cuz he want to know what kanon's thinking.. XD rofl.. Kanon is mysterious.. XD

Thanks ishck for sharing.. ^^
 
Thanks for this interview ^___^
It's normal that Miku say he doesn't want to be married or have childs cause he's a Jrocker, he doesn't want that fans bore him a lot with being married and all..... But maybe he secretely dream about a family. an indication is that he said a good relation with a musician is : secret.... So, I think that he dream to have someone, not being married, but have a secret relation.

And what I find very cuty is that he's too shy to be with someone in the middle of the street. ^^

Btw I see that many don't like so much the new An cafe (like me). I find it a bit sad.... I do hope they'll change and go back to very good music they used to do.
I miss Bou so much!!!!
 
@Pink: Awii, domo arigatou for the scans! xD Kuya, they're just so cute. 😍 ...umm, like the fact that they're cute is something new. 😆

Nan-Chan: Awii, great wallpapers you've made! :] Really good. ^-^ Ah, I just can't stop admire Takuya on those domo beautiful pics. I'm speechless XD
(*wispe*: and a secret; even my BROTHER, I said BROTHER, said Takuya looks good and is cute on them. THAT, I mean, THAT is... BIG ***, he have to DO look great there! XD :D)

ischk: Oow, thanks for the "Miku-information" XD Haha, Miku's cute XD Haha, like we didn't know his tongue-thing?! ;D *giggle* Hmm, but he sort of "talks against himself" a bit. XD He doesn't want to have children, but he wants to have a family? 😆 Aww, imagine Miku as a father, rofl XD <3

Kuya, do you remember when we talked about Takuya with blue eyes? XD I've made some pics of him with blue eyes which I will post later. xD He's daim cute with blue eyes too! 😍
 
Gomen minna for double posting! ;P

Harinezumi: It's a bit sad to hear that you don't like the new An Cafe so much. Nmm... just being curious, no offense (which I hope and think you understand anyway ;]), but what is it that makes you don't like the new An Cafe?

Not that people maybe care about it, haha, but personally I do think this new An Cafe is very good. New members and all that becomes like a new start for them; not that it was bad before, but anyway. Though I really really think it's so very sad that meant Bou left, too, I think the other positive reactions from the restart sort of ways it up. (But I DO miss Bou so much! ;-; ...just wanted to make that clear ;3) But... umm. This new songs aren't that strong as An Cafe music can be, but they're not bad, I definitely like them. Maybe a chocking great beginning would be a too huge chock for everyone, kiyaa? X'D Naah, what I want to say with that is I think An Cafe in a near future will deliver THE SONGS.
