To receive a “smile” is more worth than money.
Questions
Why did you start JROCK’N’ROLL?
I wish to let people smile. whenever it’s a fan or an artist. I want to make them smile. Also I wished to know more about bands I love and I love to discover new bands/artists. So why not sitting down and to give my best to make everyone smile?
When did you start JROCKNROLL
The official start is at the end of February 2020. However I always was kind of busy with band promotion. With vkgy I started to interview Visual Kei bands in January 2019 and soon after I also started to interview bands for JROCKNROLL!
vkgy?
vkgy is a online database for visual kei artist. I helped out a lot in the past as well. I started JROCK’N’ROLL because I also wanted to interview non-vkei bands. And following time I also focus on visual kei bands with JROCK’N’ROLL.
What are your favorite bands?
Currently I don’t have any favorite bands I really adore deeply.
Which band do you wish to see again?
Currently I don’t really have a desire to really to want a specific band again.
What’s a thing fans do often misunderstand?
That if you do PR work like JROCK’N’ROLL that you are a friend of every band. This is not true. Often you only communicate with the “staff”. In some cases bands will go drink with you. But usually there is zero friendship or cooperation. Especially visual kei bands hold a very far distance.
Beside JROCK’N’ROLL you also design for bands right?
Yes, sometimes I do design webflyers for bands. Time to time also band merchendise or other things. I also do website maintaining.
Was corona positive for JROCK’N’ROLL?
I think Corona was positive, because it made it more easy to reach to bands, however not every band survived corona.
An artist we shouldn’t forget?
There are a bunch, but I’m really glad to receive support from The Minks vocalist and drummer and also ARB KEITH. Thanks to them too JROCK’N’ROLL could make a smooth start. And so there are a bunch more, and those people know who they are! (^_^) I love you all!
Future wish?
Hopefully I will grow bigger, I really wish keep on introducing great bands to the world via interviews and cool band profiles created with the band/artist together.
Which costs does JROCK’N’ROLL actually make?
JROCK’N’ROLL is free to read, so we don’t earn any money beside some donations.
But this are some costs we make.
– When Ryu is in Tokyo, she goes to bars and lives, to maintain the bounds with artists. This isn’t always for free as well. It’s not that if you go to a live or drinking that all those “costs” are free. Sometimes there is luck for a “guest pass”, or that bandman are gentle to pay for the drinks. But it is not common. Even with a guest pass, it means free entry (99% you still have to pay the door drink fee), however bands usually don’t give you free goods, a photo and 1min chat with your fav bandman is not free. A (good) meeting up a band cost you easy 5,000~10,000 yen or more.
– Sometimes we pay an interviewer to interview a band for us. Sometimes it’s more easy to “hire” someone for an interview. Prices start at 10,000 yen.
– Ryu also makes every graphic herself with Adobe software, this cost about 67euro a month. Yes, we do this legal!
– To reach more people via X(twitter), JROCKNROLL_GO is subscribed. which is about 100 euro a year.
– Domain and hosting costs for JROCK’N’ROLL are about 100euro yearly.
If you would like to support us by sending us a dontation we will be happy. This can via our Ko-fi page. Money will be used to cover domain and hosting and design costs.
