Mally: Since there are many fast songs [on "Royal Straight Magic"], it was a challenge to master the groove. But I focused on searching for the feeling each song required, and trying to top myself each time!

Q: What magic trick would you like to perform?

Naoto: Magic with water. I want to do something really mysterious.

Omi (on "Yoake no Hikari"):  “You are not alone, and I want you all to live fully in the present together.”

miko: I think we can create a miracle when the five "cards" of exist†trace get together! I hope we can inspire your courage to grab the next card for your future when you listen to "Royal Straight Magic".

Jyou: "When I first heard 'Psychedelic Black Night', the first impression was really intense. But, right away, I knew it was a perfect live-show song, so I went after it full force."

Mally: "The fans being in front of me gives me power, and we’re able to move forward thanks to the fans who give us messages through social media and letters. So, I have to believe in myself more and just push through, because I want to share much more time with you!"

Actual physical proof of me existing in the same small time an space as Igu. (And in the final shot, paired with a fellow South African!)

These are the days that define us, my friends

Days that can only be believed with endless referring back to proofs!

Naoto: I’ve researched about witchcraft, but I haven’t tried it out… yet. exist†trace interview: http://jrock247.com/2017/01/exist-trace-interview-2017/

What song are you most proud of on this album?

Omi: “Yoake no Hikari.” I exposed myself and my pain, and I was sort of afraid of the reaction I’d receive. But, I heard reactions like “It saved me, too,” and “This song is really important for me,” so I was happy that I could finally deliver “Yoake no Hikari” to all of you.

What inspired you to write "SKY"? How have the fans reacted to it in the live shows?

miko: My first thought was, “I want to write a song that surpasses ‘VOICE’ which was the last song on the set list until now!” “VOICE” has its own special quality as well, and both songs have become important for exist†trace. At live shows, the fans sing with us. I’m happy that our hearts can unite as one.

How did you decide which members would be Ace, King, Queen, Jack, Ten? Was there any competition?

Jyou: Each of us really understands our own personalities and the other members, too, so we decided right away without competition: Jyou is Ace, miko is Queen… There’s no other way besides “Jyou is Ace of the band”, right? exist†trace interview: http://jrock247.com/2017/01/exist-trace-interview-2017/
