We want to delve into the core of their artistry… For this B-PASS x alice nine collaboration, we bring you an ambitious retrospective interview with choice photos, starting from their first appearance in the magazine for the WHITE PRAYER release!
■This issue marks the first time alice nine. appeared in B-PASS.
Show: Everyone’s still young (laugh)
■Tora-san’s hair is also pretty short.
Tora: I had hair about that short when we started alice nine. too. The hairstyle reminds me of the early days because of that.
Show: But really, Tora-shi’s hair has changed the most.
Nao: While mine hasn’t one bit (laugh)
Okiura (Editor in Chief): Actually, that day, I was going to be interviewing everyone in alice nine. for the first time, and I was waiting at Chizansou (the location), but they simply didn’t come…
Show: Erm, we were late? Sorry!
Tora: Late from the very beginning!?
Show: We seem like big-shots (laugh)
■What were your impressions of Okiura-san when you did that first interview?
Hiroto: He was… wearing a necktie… and he had a frilled-shirt kind of image, when we first met him. But you haven’t been wearing neckties lately, have you, Okiura-san?
Okiura: Ah, well, next time I’ll come wearing one!
