Please introduce yourself to our readers!
Kaz: Hello JROCK NEWS readers, we are SLOTHREAT. I’m Kaz, the vocalist.
Katsuya: I’m the guitarist, Katsuya.
Takaya: I’m the guitarist, Takaya.
Seki: I’m the bassist, Seki.
Have you performed overseas? What was the experience like?
Kaz: We haven’t played overseas before, but we’ve always been working towards doing so as one of our goals.
Could you share a pivotal moment in your musical career?
Takaya: In March this year, we performed with German band Unprocessed on their Japan tour. It was our first time being on tour with a band from another country like this, so we were really happy. It was a great experience for us. Our drive to go overseas is even stronger now.
As JROCK NEWS celebrates its 10th anniversary, would you like to share any thoughts?
Katsuya: Firstly, JROCK NEWS, congratulations on 10 years!
Kaz: Congrats!
Katsuya: I think that having a media outlet focusing on Japanese music for an overseas audience is a really valuable thing. We hope that you continue to grow and help bands like us reach more listeners overseas.
Please share a message to the overseas fans.
Katsuya: Our music is a real hybrid mix of modern elements that we think listeners overseas will enjoy too, so please, if you haven’t, please give our music a listen.
What projects or upcoming activities are you currently working on?
Katsuya: We released our most recent single, Luminous Cave, in June this year. We’ll be posting information on our future
activities via socials, so make sure to check!
Kaz, Katsuya, Takaya, Seki: Please check us out!
Seki: And that’s all from SLOTHREAT. Thank you!
