AYA: *Where did the idea for your project come from?*
OTHELLO: "What really made it happen was that I wanted to kind of recreate the first project I ever tried to get going. That was several years ago....basically dubbing has been a bit boring to me recently and I remembered how fun it was back when I started and I wanted it to become that fun again...I didn't successfully make it just as fun as it was, because I can't sing in any of the groups myself...so this is why I do all the mixing..."
AYA: *What would you say is the goal of your project?* Are you set on making progress as a group, or is your main goal to just have fun? Somewhere inbetween?
OTHELLO: "I definitely want both myself and the members to really have fun with it, but I would really like it if we made a lot of progress too."
AYA: *Was it difficult putting together your first two groups?* (Note: now there are three groups. There were only two when I asked, lol).
OTHELLO: "No! Actually, I got a lot of auditions really fast, and I just thought that they were all really good singers, and I didn't do the 'recieved auditions, will cast later'-thing, I casted everyone that I wanted to cast like right after listening to their auditions, so it all went really fast and it's wasn't difficult at all."
AYA: *Will there be generations in each group (like Momosu?) or just new groups added along the way? & Do you think there will ever be shuffles, or non-casted dubs?*
OTHELLO: "I don't think that I'll be doing generations. I'm trying to do it like I did with my first project...and for that one, I had a Buono! group, a Momosu group, a Berryz and a C-ute-group, so that's almost like this one. I think I'll add more groups later, maybe even for non-H!P things. & There will be shuffles when the groups have like settled down with a cast and released at least a few singles each."
AYA: *Is there a rhyme and reason to your singles?* a order you've come up with, or a way to decide song choice? Or is it more free choosing?
OTHELLO: "I choose 10 songs, and then the group's members get to vote for 3 songs each. The two songs with the most votes becomes the A- and B-side for the single. : ) And I randomly choose the 10 songs, unless one of the members have asked me to at least include a songs they would like to sing in the vote."
AYA: *What does BOUKEN mean and why did you choose it?*
OTHELLO: "Bouken means adventure, and I chose it because...I've always thought that Berryz is a really...like adventure-ish group? At least their older songs all makes me think of like exploring and adventure and stuff xD Does it make sense?"
AYA: Yes it sort of does! Happiness ~Koufuku Kangei!~ springs to mind, with the train through the sky and all. Plus Piriri to Yukou too, with the outfits, the green grassy field and the bus trip.
