DECADENCE EVENING with HYPNOTIC-BEAUTIFUL ZIN

Hello, my dears!!
Today I have something really delicious for you all.
Today you have a chance to know more about one of the main japanese gothic legends... I present for you A to Z interview with angelic, diabolical, vampiric and beautiful creature Zin-François Angélique (Madame Edwarda and more). 
Enjoy your evening!!
























**********


A – ANGELS
ZIN: I still don’t know who they are. I still don’t know where they live. Do you? They must be kind of DEMONS as Brueghel wrote on his book. Angels against the God became to Fallen Angel equals to Demons as wrote in the chapter 12 of The Apocalypse in Holy Bible. 1/3 of the angels become to Demons in 9 days when this world born. Do you have wings on your back? I once have two wings before I fell to The Earth. And then Zin-François Angélique was born. I was once a Human. Now, I’m a Clone Human.
dani: I still don’t know who they are and where they live also. But I believe that we all have angels (demons) inside our souls. Humans want to be angels after death, but angels wants to be humans after death also. This is a spiritual circle, but only as brave dream or pure longing for spiritual evolution. Yes, I have a wings, but I still can’t fly, because I still very worldly and alive. I must to die to can fly again. As you said you have angelic spirit inside, but living like a human without wings. Anyway you still have an angel inside you. Aren’t you? So… I can say that I believe in angel inside your soul.
ZIN: OH! Why do you know about that? Yes, I believe I am a half-man/half angel equal to Clone Human (Fake Vampire). So, Maybe I have still have an angel inside me, yes. They (angels) seem to wants to set me free from this virtual living life. And…Sometimes They guides me to the 4th dimension through this crazy, crazy, crazy world.

B – BEAUTY
ZIN: Beauty is like Endless Mirror. Beauty grows in the Endless Mirror. Keep shinning, growing and do not know where they want to go. Beauty wants to eat/bites human’s soul. And they call me from the Endless Mirror. Sometimes, I am in fear in the night. Beauty changes in the Endless Mirror. And no one is do not care about that. So my fear grows like dark ancient potion.

C – COFFEE and CIGARETTES
ZIN: Not the Jim Jarmusch’s Cinema Titles for me. Jim Jarmusch is talented filmmaker as many people says. However, I want to tell another story. They are Lovers. A lover needs each other. Gitane is not Angels. Gitane is Demons. Gauloises is not Demons, too. Gitane, Gauloises…these cigarettes are once my favorite cigarette.
dani: That movie is cool anyway, ahaha… Yes, you right. They are lovers. Coffee as a lover who does not gets you to fall asleep. Cigarettes as a lover who gets to you a last hope that everything is okay. You know, we had cool post-punk band КИНО (KINO) here, in Russia. They had a song Пачка Сигарет (Cigarette Pack). Good line from this song meaning that if you have the cigarette pack in your pocket it means that everything is not too bad right now.
ZIN: Cool post-punk band КИНО? I would like to listen to them. Anyway, I hope everything going well with Cigarettes as КИНО sing.

D – DAY LIFE
ZIN: I live like a Vampire. I sleep all day. I have no day life. I love Moon, Night, and Darkness.  My day usually start after Midnight. Sometimes, I need human blood for my inspiration. DAY LIFE Bites me.
dani: I live only in the night-time because of my night-job. But I find this job because of my natural inside time-cycle. Human’s blood is beauty for inspiration, but it has too much pain inside sometimes. It is one way when somebody gives you blood for fun or as sexual fetish, but other way when it’s blood falling the ground with a tears and pain. For first way you can make one kind of creativity, and so very different kind of creativity for another…
ZIN: I said that ‘’I need human blood for my inspiration’’ as metaphor. I do not really need blood for me. Off course I don’t want blood for my fun or as sexual fetish, too. I believe Blood is power. So I need blood (in fact, 60% of human body is water not blood). However, Blood make me too much pain inside sometimes, too. Blood including holy myth, I think.

E – EARTHQUAKE
ZIN: Supernatural Thing. The Earth does not believe in Human. They hate Human because Earthquake comes. Earthquake is like a dilemma of the Earth. The Earth screams like an angel sometimes. Therefore Earthquake comes.

F – FAVORITE BANDS
ZIN: Many. Many. Many. Many. Many. Many. Many. Many. Many. Many. Many. Many. Many. Many. Many. It never ends. So, I could not write my favorite bands (artists/musicians). It will be thousand or more. I like Classic/Neo Goth-Death Rock, Glam Rock, Psychedelic/Art/Progressive Rock, Ambient Music, Medieval, Dark Folk, Celt Music, Experimental, Electro Body Music, Electro-clash, Original Punk, Art-Punk, French Wave, Cold Wave, Minimal Wave, Throbbing New Wave, Classic, Cinema sound tracks, and more & more. You know, it Never ends. I live with Music. I live with Music in this earth.

G – GOTHIC MUSIC
ZIN: My Love. My Blood. My Lover. My Child. But GOTHIC MUSIC is not my whole favorites. Please See section F – FAVORITE BANDS.

H – HATED THINGSZIN: Misunderstanding. Homo sapiens of this earth seems to be live in this World, this Misunderstanding World. For Human, It’s very difficult to communicate with words therefore Music was born.
dani: You are absolutely right!! Music, arts, any creativity it is international language for all.

I – ICE CREAM
ZIN: I know the story about ICE CREAM. Once upon a time, there is ICE CREAM. He is the bad man. His name sounds like an eye scream. Eye Scream is Doppelgänger of Mr. ICE CREAM the Transvestite, he/she like a sweet baby or maiden fairy. And I never knew his/her last name. And he/she never had no fun with the toys. ICE CREAM Sam, ICE CREAM Sam, woooo, I wanna be your toys. And ICE CREAM scream, “I knew there’s only one way out I've got to eat them”!! Maybe his full name is ICE CREAM for Crow. Maybe he is not Jack the Ripper but Chocolate Serial Cannibal Killer. Here’s the Heavy Metal Boys in blue. He always looks at you. You have Better Watch out!!!!!!! ICE CREAM hates Heavy Metal Boys and Heavy Metal Boys lived scary ever after. The story will be never ended.

J – JEALOUSY
ZIN: I once read about Jealousy in the Shakespeare's book “Othello”. Roderigo, who is desperately in love with Desdemona, expresses his jealousy of Othello's marriage to Desdemona. Marc Bolan once sung about Desdemona. I usually listen to this song ” Desdemona”. Besides, JEALOUSY is the song name of Marie Louise (My band in 1980’s).

K – KISS
ZIN: Kiss made by Adam and Eve, I think. Holy bible did not write about first kisses with Adam and Eve. It's the oldest game in the earth. Bryan Ferry sung in KISS & TELL as “Money talks about Kisses, and it never lies when Ten cents a dance. Kiss, Kiss, Kiss… Give and take - Eye for an eye. “ Maybe Gods never know about how to kiss. Gods do not need kisses.
dani: Yes, Gods do not need kisses, because it is too fleshy for Gods. Deep kiss as perfect sex-imitation… too alive for Gods…
 
L – LOVE and LUST
ZIN: LOVE is Jack. LUST is Jill. Jack hates Jill. And off course Jill hates Jack… Is there love or lust? Learn how to tell if your relationship is based on love or lust. "There's nothing in the world like the devotion of a married woman; it's a thing no married man knows anything about." — Oscar Wilde.
dani: I guess, if looks on thing that way that love is pure and platonic and lust is dirty and sexual, so we can say that love and lust like a ying-yang thing. Angels and demons, white and black, light and dark and etc… Love and lust are twins. Terrible twins sometimes, ahaha…
ZIN: I guess so. Love and lust like a ying-yang thing. If something is missing, they transform themselves into Terrible Twins sometimes.

M – MADAME EDWARDA
ZIN: My Rock Band’s name. My Love. My Blood. My Lover. My Child. Japanese Gothic Rock Legend, and go on to the future to creation. I’ve grown with this band. MADAME EDWARDA is not only Gothic Rock Band, but also Glamorous/Surrealistic/Majestic/Theatrical Art Positive Punk Rock band. More information available at: http://madameedwarda.com/

N – NIGHT LIFE
ZIN: Not My Dear, My Diva, My Lover, but Part of My Life, My Inspiration. Sometimes I spent all night to dance, drink, and off course, talk with my friends, Faerie Ariel, Legendary Creatures. We love talk about music, fashion, art, literature including keywords of undead faeries, Bela Lugosi, Béla Bartók, Georges Bataille, Heaven & Hell, Modern Dance, Hieronymus Bosch, Godard, Surrealisme, Dadaisme, and sometimes THE DEAD CLASS. Have you seen movie/act THE DEAD CLASS (by Tadeusz Kantor). Anyway, Sometimes I only met Zombie in Night Life. Do you know why? I do not know why. I love to read the book all the day, too.
dani: I meet zombies around me often also. Not only in the nighttime, but also often at the morning-time after holidays. They brains is dead for sure, ahaha…
ZIN: They brains is dead for sure in the morning. My brains must be dead when I lost myself in this pain of loneliness.

O – ORCHIDS
ZIN: It means to me as its imagery consisted of sort of a trance or dreamlike state, like reality was not quite reality. ORCHIDS are poison. ORCHIDS are untouchable innocent. ORCHIDS made mistake to be grown as Roses. An incomplete and unsuccessful attempt to escape the human condition by means of posing, artifice; all of which are conceived of as unnatural and therefore better than natural.

P – PUNK MUSIC
ZIN: My Blood, My Bones. Punk music inspires me when I was Teenager. I love to listen to them. Another music inspires me, too. I love to listen to them.

Q – QUOTINGS
ZIN: I often quote Literature/Poem in my blog. Literature/Poem inspires me. Do you know Jean-Luc Godard use many QUOTINGS on his Cinema? I like his style/philosophy of making cinema.
dani: I love quoting in the creativity. It is good reverence for people who inspiring us for this creativity.
ZIN: Yes, I agree with you.

R – ROMEO MIRROR
ZIN: Side-project of ZEUS MACHINA (MADAME EDWARDA). I started this unit called “ROMEO MIRROR“ with Yukino. Sound is not like the others. We’ll inspire you.
dani: ROMEO MIRROR is a very inspiring project, really.
ZIN: Thank you. However, ROMEO MIRROR will transform when we need.

S – STYLE
ZIN: My STYLE. Life STYLE? Hair STYLE? Well, You know, “every thing” surely has STYLE. I like the surrealistic style of living like DALI did. I know nothing remains the same. STYLE is too. But, Spirit is Forever. It reminds me “The Song Remains the Same - Led Zeppelin”. By the way why Song Remains the Same? What do you love? I love crazy DREAMS. STYLE steals DREAMS. DREAMS steal STYLES. So, I love crazy DREAMS.
dani: Yeah, I love crazy dreams also. So… I love crazy styles. Style is a good way for self-realization. I hate trend, but I love style. Individuality…

T – TAKAAKI NISHIMURA
ZIN: Do you asking about Kevin? Well, TAKAAKI NISHIMURA is Kevin…he have a talent. I believe in him. Guitarist of MADAME EDWARDA. Thank you.

U – UMBRELLA
ZIN: UMBRELLA means shadow. They designed by Human to protect against rain or sunlight. I wonder why they can live without rain or sunlight. So I believe UMBRELLA is not Dracula. By the way I like band called “UMBRELLA” formed in 1980’s. They are nice band. Please listen to their sound if you have a chance.
dani: Umbrella is like a personal shadow, personal darkness, personal protection. I don’t like to use this, but sometimes it looks pretty.
ZIN: How Cute. That’s why UMBRELLA exists in the earth.

V – VISUAL
ZIN: VISUAL is kind of GIFT, I think. You can see VISUAL in the somewhere landscapes. I can see VISUAL in someone’s silhouette. Everybody, Everything has VISUAL. Nowadays, VISUAL means Visual Rock for Some people, but not for me. VISUAL is kind of GIFT, I repeat. Visual is the only a part of all things. I prize not only Visual but an individual/original style (individuality) of creation (creativity). VISUAL is similar to Vision? If VISUAL is similar to Vision, Music will be made by Sound & Vision as David Bowie song “Sound & Vision”? Don't you wonder sometimes? About sound and vision? And I will sing, waiting for the gift of sound and vision. Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?
dani: I think that any idea can be realizing by music, by lyrics or by pictures in the same time. I love when things completing each other. Music and theatre together is like a shaman’s ritual in the Doors music for instance. Music and movie is looks great also. Visual things always were in the music performances. But I hate visual things without idea inside, just for some kind of mode and for such things. It is hollow inside. You absolutely right – visual is the only part of all things.
ZIN: You’re Right. I believe it means nothing without idea/creativity inside.

W – WALPURGIS
ZIN: Long story to tell. Well, WALPURGIS means Walpurgis Night in dictionary, as you know. However, CLUB WALPURGIS is not in dictionary. I found CLUB WALPURGIS in my dictionary. It says that Zin-François Angélique (Zinny Aerodinamica) organize gothic punk club called “CLUB WALPURGIS”. Join the Gothic Party & Have Great fun in Tokyo, JAPAN. More information available at www.clubwalpurgis.com

X – X-ALTATION
ZIN: Admiration. Or Remarkable, conspicuity, conspicuous, conspicuously, distinguish, dramatic, intense, manifest, marked, markedly, notable, noteworthy, noticeable, outstanding, prominent, prominently, salient, significant, stand out, striking? I do not understand what this Question meaning. Not an Ecstasy in Agony for me.

Y – YOU AS YOU ARE (who is Zin-François Angélique)
ZIN: It reminds me Principles of Philosophy (Les Principes de la Philosophie) of René Descartes. Yes, I am what I am, off course. By the way, you are what you are? I am Zin-François Angélique like dark side of the moon. My other dark side of the moon is Zinny Aerodinamica. Zinny Aerodinamica is My DJ Name. About the Principles of Philosophy, this Philosophy was born by this Latin word “Cogito, ergo sum (cogito = I think, ergo =therefore, sum = I am)”.  Read, as many books as you can while you are young. Listen as much music as you can while you are young. Do, as many things as you can while you are young.
dani: That’s great way for life I think!! I am not too young already, but I will never stop to living that way.

Z – ZEUS MACHINA
ZIN: ZEUS MACHINA sounds like deus ex machina in Greek era’s ancient act. ZEUS MACHINA is The Band. I formed this industrial influenced glamorous Gothic Band “ZEUS MACHINA” in 1998. Yukino joined as a Guitarist. More information available at www.zeusmachina.com

DARK CHOCOLATE with SEXY TAKAAKI

Hello, my dears!!!
Today you have a chance to know many interesting things about hot and sexual Takaaki "KEVIN" Nishimura (Foxpill Cult, Madame Edwarda, Darkside Mirrors).
Are you ready for this?!
Okay! Enjoy it!!!
Today we have some dark chocolate with sexy Takaaki in this from A to Z interview!!



















**********

A  -  ANGELS
Takaaki:
mmm... If she had lovely face, I would say I believe.

B - BACKSTAGE
Takaaki:
I don't really like the backstage. I love the stage and daily life. Backstage is in between, so strange space. Backstage must die!!!!

C - CHOCOLATE
Takaaki:
I like it, but too black.
dani: Mmmm… With a cognac maybe?
Takaaki: No, with milk. But when I drink milk, I have a stomachache. Milk is devil's drink.

D - DARKSIDE MIRRORS
Takaaki:
I've spent three years in DARKSIDE MIRRORS (2007 - 2009). Those three years it was just gig most of the psychedelic days. I am guitarist but I played noise in rock’n’roll music and rock’n’roll scene. Sometimes, I play rock’n’roll music in Japanese noise music scene. It's wonderful experience, and in the same time very hard work. My sense as a gutarist is grown up with the DARKSIDE MIRRORS.

E  - EARTHQUAKE
Takaaki:
Japan, back and back to living in an earthquake. But whatever the reason, it is sad that people get injured. And it is sad that nuclear power has created too much hatred. I pray and believe the stricken area to revive.
dani: Around the world we pray for Japan in our hearts… Japan is great country with strong spirit in people. I am admiring of power in hearts of all people in Japan.
Takaaki: I appreciate your kindness.

F  - FOXPILL CULT
Takaaki:
My raison d'etre. FOXPILL CULT is present in my yin and yang. FOXPILL's life is just spreading and contraction. This is gentle and transient on the outside but tough on the inside. It's like water. This band like water does not belong anywhere. It's my policy. Now members are gutar&vocal, noise pianica, metal percussion. We are organizing the event ourselves. Please check out my event POTLATCH DEAD.

G - GUITARS AND GEAR
Takaaki:
mmm...... Painted wood and painted metal. And too expensive. But I love, love, love my guitar!!!!
dani: Because that painted wood have a personal soul, isn’t?
Takaaki: I don't want that wood have a personal soul. If I will be painted wood, I would to kill the man who paint and cut me. And I wouldn't that somebody will touch my naked body. So wood must die for guitar.

H  - HABITS
Takaaki: To make Japanese rice bran pickles.

I - INDEPENDENCE
Takaaki: I think that the real artist should have an independence spirit. Monopoly desire that artist holds in his tune is makes the tune stouter.  However, The child must grow up through the rebellious stage.  I am producing everything (REC,PV etc....) by myself in FOXPILL CULT. But I don't think it is great to do everything yourself. So in the next stage, the thing to throw away the child whom the I loved to the unknown world is an adult responsibility.  Otherwise, the song will not meet anyone to die. But I might not part with my child.
dani: Yeah, when you do everything by your hands it is 100% author product. But sometimes it is not rebellion just necessary. When you will free your hands from some parts of this job, you will be have more time for another moments. I guess musician just need to save balance self-production and professional help from others. That balance that this musician need for personal project.
Takaaki: Totally!! But I think independence music is interesting because the music is a precarious balance. The balance improves by relations of the many people, many thoughts. Therefore, the less number of people is the better for underground music.

J  - JAPAN
Takaaki:  I love Japan. It's because I cherish my friends and family. I have many Japanese friends because I live in Japan. Knowing own country is to know myself. I like to breathe deeply in the temple, to drink tea everyday. That much but I think it's wonderful.

K  - KISS
Takaaki: “I was made for lovin' you baby”.
dani: “You was made for lovin’ me!!” Hell, yeah!!!
Takaaki: Hell, yeah!!!!!!!!!!!

L  - LOVE & LUST
Takaaki: I think lust it is hopes, the thirstier thing.  I think love is wanted to give enough to be given. It will run away by the search.

M - MADAME EDWARDA
Takaaki: Of course, MADAME EDWARDA is cool band. One of the few favorites Japanese goth bands for me. But I'm not original member of MADAME EDWARDA. So I have very mixed feelings. However, I have a belief when I'm on the stage. People say MADAME EDWARDA is one of originator of Japanese goth music. But I think there is no means. As long as we keep playing the our music now… We will keep rotting.

N - NIGHT CLUB
Takaaki: I love it. However, anything doesn't remain. So something is rarely born.

O - OCEAN
Takaaki: Human race's mirror. But it's like a beautiful black hole.
dani: All people have a beautiful black hole in their eyes…in their souls… yes? We all have a ocean or cosmos inside…

P  - PLANS FOR FUTURE
Takaaki: Nothing. I know I will die. And I will take a shit tomorrow.
dani: So…Let’s living today?
Takaaki: Yes, I living today.

Q  - QUICK TOUR OF YOUR LIFE
Takaaki: Ugly life. There is no means but fantastic.

R - ROCKSTAR
Takaaki: I believe the scientist more than rockstar.

S - STYLE
Takaaki: It is strong beliefs of musician but sometimes it's self-advertisement tool… I feel the charm in the music of strong beliefs and love. As for music where it exists, any genre is wonderful. I hate style as self-advertisement too, because there is no love.
dani: You right, This is really too bad when style is turning in brand. It is hollow thing. Just for advertisement, nothing else…

T - TAKAAKI NISHIMURA
Takaaki: He smells good.
dani: Like a dark chocolate? :)
Takaaki: No. Durian.

U - UNIVERSITY
Takaaki: Spending time on education is so great. University is one of many choices. I don't learned music at university. But that knowledge is useful for music and my life.
dani: Yeah, I think that any education include self-education is good always. Never know what knowledge you will need in your life.

V - VAMPIRE
Takaaki: Garlic boy.

W - WEAKNESS
Takaaki: Garlic.

X - X-TREME
Takaaki: X-TREME falls easily into cheap pleasure. I think ultimateness is born from keeping the balance.

Y - YUKATA
Takaaki: Yukata is X-TREME pleasure.

Z - ZIN
Takaaki: I just know that ZIN likes the dumplings.
dani: Hmmm… So interesting information for Zin’s fan-girls, isn’t?
Takaaki: Yes, But they will want to kill me for silence.
dani: Ahhahaha :)

**********

Stay so dark sexy and amazing as you are!!
R-RED-HOT-KISSES for YOU!!!
R-R-ROCK ON!!!
