Behind Story - Interviews

Forming The Beatrice!
Pete: From the VERY beginning, I was going to form a group called "The Beatrice!". Yes - it's my idea, but simply was a kind of JOKE on Twitter or somewhere - the word sounded FINE like The Beatles... isn't it?
Then after a while, I just wondered if forming a VR group and making a song both inspired by and respected to Vintage Rock music on the sound and the story of Princess Principal on the lyric, that would be SO cool and hip...
So I had tried to write my 1st original song - "Dorothy" as you know, then recorded as private, what was NOT SO BAD both to listen and to enjoy - Then I made the group continue to make more songs.
Song Writing; Lyrics
Pete: From the VERY beginning - yeah! as PART2 -, I had decided myself to write my songs IN ENGLISH- whose idea had really come to me via the songs used in "Princess Principal" - where all songs made in English - Unbelievable in usual Japanese anime!!! Encouraged by that - while being NON native speaker I've been writing my songs in English.
Although me loving Rock music and singin' in English from the very childhood era - my mom often said from circa 3 years old singin' in Japan-glish my dad taught me, this was a HUGE risk to try... Yeah, of course, I'd NEVER done before!
However, it's been not so difficult but interesting since then - cos I've been honestly using some technique "Borrowing words from others" - under a certain quality level , paying my attention to Copyright law, and... well, I NEVER mind a lot if my lyrics being Grammatically correct or True intention etc... For example, I often try to chose much better words by the sound or the pronunciation - than by their meaning in Lyrics.
So, if someone says that my song lyrics are NOT correct - just like the interview HERE- I do NOT care basically... while may be caring for... "Is this COOL?" - as Rock Music for YOU!
Song Writing; Music
Pete: I simply wonder sometimes that someone might regard me that... "Stealing the Music!!" - well, I suppose Yes or No ;-)
Strictly saying under Copyright laws, all of my songs NEVER checked out of law by AI system - taken by YouTube and others. My songs - especially as the melody - would be ALMOST FULLY original... but HOW about Arrangements, Riffs used in the guitar plays, and Total sound making? Here again I wonder - If someone has been punished by stealing the Riff by Chuck Berry's R&R ever?
This must be the BIGgest issue to treat here, so I do NOT want to talk more, however, I've been thinking SIMPLY like this just FROM THE BEGINNING;
a) If you know the original song where I have borrowed the imagination, you would smile a little through your enough experiences and huge love for Rock Music.
b) if you're young enough to know the originals, you might feel the song has a lot of unique qualities - while I hope that you should know the originals - of course, those are much better than those of mine... ;-)
So, please enjoy both my songs and the originals - what have been making me inspired a lot FOREVER!!
Playing Music; Gears, How-to, etc.
Paul-Ent (Bass): I wasn't into "The Beatles" at first, but soon followed Pete's interest in it. About my play, however, I don't mind being in the background - rather than try to lead on bass, prefer to put down a GOOD, SOLID bass line, like Led Zep, Queen, and The Beatles!
Beato (Drum): I enjoy playing - even if being a kind of MECHANICAL part for myself. People hadn't really taken much notice of drums, however, feeling is a lot more important in making drumming than technique. I think being original is what counts - especially fitting to the whole sound by the group, like "The Beatrice!""
Daltrey IIIrd (Vocal): My father is an English aristocrat... so, R&R is NEVER my FORMAL activity - but I LOVE it ;-) Still I don't know how my voice sounds for you, but hope you enjoy my singin' and acting on the stage!!
Pete (Guitar): My guitars? Cheap ones! VERY VERY Cheap!! But I know HOW they can sing for & with me!!! Also, I NEVER forget to connect my gears to (Vintage) "SansAmp" - One of my OLD FRIENDS since 90's (Albion Years!).
