“Momonari Kabuto, Edo period, 18th century”

[itsmarjudgelove]

Tachi-dō tosei gusoku

Early Edo period (1615–1867)

Description

This authentic samurai armor is a tosei gusoku (modern armor), which was common throughout the time period but had certain significant innovations added. The combination of colors and ornamentation is stunning, as is typical of Inaba clan armour, with a rare purple binding (murasaki) used solely by the most senior members of the military aristocracy. The helmet, which is adorned with an amazing and extremely rare kashiradate hooked on the sides, is unquestionably the element that seems to take center stage. This element represents a kotoji, the bridge that holds the strings of the koto, a traditional Japanese musical instrument. It is constructed of hardened leather and is lacquered in silver.

The kabuto is of the momonari type, shaped like a peach, and has a traditional hineno neck guard (shikoro). The two pieces of the tachi-dō style armor are separated by short, gold-lacquered shoulder guards (sode), which contrast with the rest of the armor and gracefully counterbalance the black lacquer of the other components.

OINICIO and MOMONARY are the first to explore the modern beauty of Oriental women who embrace the love of life with butterfly modeling. The lighter color palette is perfectly integrated into MOMONARY 22SS clothing, but also gives it a touch of girlish freshness.

With fresh breath, the maiden flutters like a butterfly. In the name of exploring, embracing, and loving life, it falls on the shoulders of young girls. Oriental maidens will continue to write new stories with modern beauty.

HELLO. ViSULOG Interview (English Translation)

Original Japanese Source: ViSULOG Pickup Interview Original Interview Published: March 2018 Topic: HELLO.’s formation and first songs Translation: VerwelktesGedicht (most of it in April 2018) Note: These guys are horrible. At least Ria’s answers are deep! xDDD I’m so looking forward to their activities!!!

___

These are the members of HELLO. who have their first appearance at ViSULOG. Please introduce yourselves! Ria: Everyone who just came to know about us and everyone who already knows us, please read this until the end! I’m HELLO.’s vocalist Ria! Please treat me well! Sekiguchi: I’m Sekiguchi. Please treat me well~ 373: I’m rhythm guitarist 373. Please treat me well. Momonari: I’m bassist Momonari. Waai~. Aki: I’m drummer Aki. My favorite type is a girl that’s an Aki-gya. Please treat me well.

Please tell us something about the band’s formation. Ria: The disbanding of my former band and the disbanding of drummer Aki’s former band was at the same time and to be honest, I’m thinking for a couple of years now that I want to be in a band with him. So while going out to drink with him I convinced him. After that we met Momo and 373 and in the end also invited a friend I was in a band together with long ago. Sekiguchi: Before I realized it, I was added as guitarist and my name was added in the office… 373: I’ve met the members and we went out drinking, talking about bands. And before I realized it, I was already composing songs. Momonari: When I got invited I didn’t have a job and thought it looks fun, so they let me join. Aki: After my former band had disbanded time passed by and Ria came to ask me what I want to do in the future. I think that conversation was the beginning? Before I realized it we were searching for members.

Please tell us why you picked the band name “HELLO.”. Ria: Because it’s simple. The deeper meaning is a secret. The reason why we wrote it all in capitals is that it looks strong that way. Seriously. Sekiguchi: I don’t know!! Isn’t this like a connection when you greet others at a neighborhood association? 373: Simple is best!! Momonari: In the beginning I heard it from Ria and thought “That’s it!” It would be so cool if we can get popular with this. Aki: It’s a secret.

Before becoming a member of HELLO., what did you do music-wise? Ria: In my teens I was a drummer and changed to vocal after that. I have always been active in this Visual Kei scene. I love Visual Kei! Sekiguchi: Eating, sleeping… eating, sleeping… Again and again…. 373: I played the guitar on SNS, composed songs and uploaded them. Momonari: I didn’t do anything. This is unrelated but I often cooked meals! But now, that I started being in a band, I don’t do it anymore! Aki: After my former band disbanded I was support in a rock band and also had a session live with Ria. That time was fun but also hard.

Please tell us something about HELLO.’s music and visual concept. Ria: Keeping it short, music-wise it’s “Simple is best!”. Our visual concept is: “Super flashy is best!!” Sekiguchi: Popularity, isn’t it? 373: Positive music. No matter if you listen to it or see us, it’s for you to become happy! Momonari: Something like: It’s also hard to be a human being. But look at it, it’s cute! Aki: We want to make the music and lyrics to be easy to understand. Speaking of the visuals, it seems like I’m the one who took over the role of the cute kirakira person, so look at this kirakira-me!

On May 28th you will release your first single “Kimi to kakusei.”. Which topic led to the creation of this song? Ria: We didn’t just want to make an appeal to our audience and convey the message. The topic is that first of all we are able to make an appeal to ourselves and are able to convey something to ourselves. That’s why we decided for the “kimi to” kakusei. [= awakening “with you”] Sekiguchi: There are so many difficult questions. I don’t really know at all? 373: I include the topic and my thoughts completely in the lyrics of the composed songs. Momonari: It’s the same as before. It’s hard to be a human being. The song is full of that feeling. Also a bandman isn’t a person that can do everything. Aki: The topic of HELLO.’s first song is to not do many all too complicated things.

Please tell us what part of “kimi to kakusei.” Is the one we definitely need to listen to? Ria: As thought, it’s the chorus. Sekiguchi: The synchronicity. 373: It’s the chorus. Positive lyrics and a melody that is easy to remember. I hum it often (laughs) Momonari: I like the part where the lyrics go “Sore de ha sakebimasho?”. Aki: I get angry at this awesome voice when he’s singing “hitokoso saru no dekisokonai nanjanai no?”

Please tell us what the highlights of the PV of “kimi to kakusei.” are. Ria: We decided on “completely free” being the topic of our outfits. It shows our individuality, likes and characters. You won’t get tired of it, no matter whose scenes you’re watching. So light up your room, go a few steps away from your screen and just have fun watching it! Sekiguchi: That it was shot in the city Atsugi in the Kanagawa prefecture. 373: There are differences in the character that show in our outfits. I think it’s really cute, so please watch it properly. Momonari: 373 is cute. That’s a random recommendation. Aki: It has been so long that I shot a music video, so I could shoot it with such a fresh feeling. Please watch it!

Please tell us the highlights of the coupling song “non-perfection world”. Ria: 373’s guitar solo. Sekiguchi: The part when it gets quiet after the outro. Because it makes you think: “Ah, the calm night is the best!” 373: My guitar solo…!!! Momonari: Akki and my interaction is cool! Aki: The drum solo! I definitely want you to jump around at lives during this part!

What kind of concerts will HELLO. create from here on? Ria: A giant tornado live that will drag in everything and everyone = a live that will drag the whole live house in and where you can show your emotions openly and where you can go crazy as much as you like. Sekiguchi: I want to throw out all the dark and grotesque world views. 373: I want you all to go home with a smile on your face and create this together with you. Momonari: Like a great sports festival. After it’s over you will be able to sleep well. Aki: I’d be happy if you all just have fun together. It’s important to be nice to each other! Really!

As an artist during a live, what are you thinking while standing on stage? Ria: To sing with true feelings. Sekiguchi: To put my focus on my guitar. 373: To drag in the audience. Momonari: To become a lion! Aki: To search for Aki-gya.

Please talk about your enthusiasm regarding your first live “kimi to kakusei. In SHINJUKU”! Ria: I definitely want to hold a live that only the current HELLO. can hold, so that I can hear from at least one more person the words “I’m glad I went”. I’m waiting at the live house! Sekiguchi: I’ll insert a trauma into you! 373: This is the beginning of HELLO.’s story. We’ll convey more than 100% to you! Momonari: I like Shinjuku, so I’ll give my best~! Aki: I want to make this into a day that makes you forget all the disliked things and also everything about tomorrow.

Please send a message to our ViSULOG readers that gave you some attention! Ria: HELLO. has just started. I hope we can meet many people through music during our band activity period. We hope we will meet for a long time. As an individual human being as well as as band I want to be active while always having in mind that every minute, every second we’re growing. Please treat us well!! Sekiguchi: (???) 373: Let’s create HELLO.’s story together that is about to start. Momonari: Such a band is good, isn’t it? Let’s give our best all together! Aki: I’m drummer Aki. If you’re thinking “Lately there isn’t enough music…” or “There’s no band I go to lives often for anymore…” then definitely come to see HELLO.’s lives!

In the end, please tell us your ambitions as band and individual. Ria: I’ll be active without forgetting to be thankful for these circumstances that allow me to sing. Right now that’s all. Sekiguchi: I’ll exercise in self-control without forgetting the crisis that can lead to circumstances that erase everything. Right now that’s all. 373: I want HELLO. to turn into a band that helps many people with its songs! Momonari: I won’t reduce my sleeping time! Aki: I want to become famous person so that even if I’m wearing sun glasses and a hat everyone will recognize me.
