Who writes the lyrics and the music on most of the songs?
Fujiko: Kei does all the lyrics. I do all the music. First I make the music. Afterwards Kei takes over and adds the lyrics to it. Tell us a little about how the songs were recorded. Fujiko: D-69’s recording system is pretty complicated… But let me explain. 1. Record the drum part at the studio. 2. I take that recording home and add tentative guitars, bass and synthesizer. 3. Then we take those music tracks back to the studio and record the vocals. 4. Finally we put everything together: edit the final guitar, bass and synthesizer. With all these step by step procedures it took a whole year to complete… What’s the main message of the song Sleep? What inspired it? Kei: I was sad about my friends who had to leave music behind because of economic reasons and because they were worried about how other people looked at them. I made this song because I wanted them to cherish music as a precious gift given to them.
