ROCKIN'ON JAPAN—Bright despair

As previously announced, the latest issue of the ROCKIN'ON JAPAN magazine carries a four-page interview with four full-page photos, along with Chihiro's advice section.

"Bokura," as well as "everyhome," was recorded about two years ago. It was written around three and a half years ago.
The themes of "Bokura" are resignation and despair in front of the fact that rosy days will never last. Still, to look for rose-colored days over and over again represents a hope.
"NOW" was written more or less at the same time of making "Bokura." She decided that with this melody, it had to be sung in English.
She likes American things including chocolate and cola. She loves the junky aspects of the United States.

The advice column called "Namida no Kyu-Yamate Dori" (The Kyu-Yamate Dori street in tears) showcases absurdly funny "advice on life that carves out brutally frank 'truths.'"

Bokura PV

It appears the "Bokura" promotion video was aired by Space Shower TV last night.

msn video

"Bokura" was written two or three years ago with the intention of giving the impression of rose petals turning around and around. LAS VEGAS as a whole is meant to create an impression of a journey. This title has already been given during the time of Sugar High. Please don't be curious about the meaning of this title since she put it without any logical intention as always.
