How was the experience in Costa Rica?

GPK: I had so much fun in Costa Rica! I cant wait to visit you guys again!! The people were so nice to us and we are very honored!
Kiwamu: It was interesting. Owing to good orgnization, we had good time.

What you guys think about Draconian Incubus?

GPK:  They totally rock!! I LOVE their music so much! Their tunes is very nostalgic, very old school goth rock!! simply amazing!!
Kiwamu: From their bassist, I got many many good words at the party. I don't know why he was that crazy lol Maybe he ate strange food?

Is some special memory about Costa Rica?

GPK:  I shall treasure every second I spent in Costa Rica, and will forever locked in my heart. So much great memories!
Kiwamu: We went to the photoshooting. It was old hospital. That situation was very interesting. During shooting, small dog came to me. Maybe he loves me very much.

You know GPKISM was the first Japanese band who performance in Costa Rica?  
What do you think about that?

GPK: We are simply amazed and honored! We shall do our best to come back again! I felt in love with Costa Rica already!
Kiwamu: I went to many countries as first visual kei band. Costa Rica became one of these countries. Every "first" is good.

Talk us about the differences between the fans of each country.

GPK:  Simply fantastic! They were very energetic and full of vibe! One of the best live show we had!
Kiwamu: Fan's reaction was very nice at the show. But there were some stupid fans can't understand artist copyright. They should understand "illegal video shooting is a crime".

Do you have chance to talk or interacting with fans in this tour? (Beside the shows)

GPK:  To me, they are all my friends! I am so excited to chat with them! I wish I could spend more time in Costa Rica.

GPK:  Much much work! We are planning our next tour and our next release! please stay tuned!
Kiwamu: We will release 1st full album for Feb tour in USA. Before Nov tour, we already finished recording.

Talking a little bit about Darkest Labyrinth: Kiwamu, Do you have plans to make concert with others bands of this label?

Kiwamu: On Feb tour in USA, it will be the coupling tour. BLOOD and GPKISM. And our friend DJ SiSeN will come to there. In Australia, we had the same coupling tour. In Finland and Sweden, VorP and BLOOD had the coupling shows. It is very interesting.

Do you will like back to Costa Rica in future tours?

GPK:  Definitely! Costa Rica rules!!
Kiwamu: If we come back soon, the visiters will be small. So maybe after one year, we can come to there again.
