Bassist Naho, left, and vocalist Akane, right.
Please introduce yourself to our readers.
Akane: We’re Osaka-based metalcore band Dimrays, and I’m the vocalist Akane.
Naho: I’m the bassist, Naho.
Have you performed overseas? What was the experience like?
Naho: Never!
Akane: No, we never have.
Naho: But we want to!
Akane: We’ve never performed overseas before, so we really want to. So bad.
Naho: We want to go all over, Asia, Europe, lots of different countries, and perform for all of you!
Akane: Yeah!
Could you share a pivotal moment in your musical career?
Akane: I posted on X about how we had no Tokyo shows and wanted to perform there more, and since then, a lot of friends introduced us to a lot of people. And somehow we’ve started playing in Tokyo more, and now things are on the up!
Naho: We play more in Tokyo.
Akane: It’s crazy.
Naho: We play more shows in Tokyo, and we’re more widely recognized now.
Akane: Yeah. We still have a long way to go, but thanks to that, we’re growing!
Naho: We were also able to play at Kawasaki Club Citta recently because of that, too!
Akane: Yeah!! It was a lot of fun. I want to play at even bigger venues, do more events, and meet even more people.
As JROCK NEWS celebrates its 10th anniversary, would you like to share any thoughts?
Naho: First things first, congratulations on your 10th anniversary, JROCK NEWS!
Akane: Congratulations! I think doing anything for 10 years is pretty difficult. For Dimrays, 10 years is still a way off.
Naho: We have a while to go.
Akane: Well, we’ve known each other for about 10 years, More than 10! You get the picture, right?
Naho: Congratulations!
Akane: We hope that you keep growing and keep spreading the word about Dimrays!
Naho: Thanks in advance!
Please share a message to the overseas fans.
Naho: Thank you for always supporting Dimrays.
Akane: We will do our best to perform our live show in your country one day. We hope you will continue to support us. Thank you! I love you!
Naho: Thank you!
What projects or upcoming activities are you currently working on?
Akane: On October 11, not announced yet, but we have an event at Shibuya Cyclone!
Naho: Maybe!
Akane: We are! “Maybe”! Well, it hasn’t been announced yet.
Naho: Not at this point in time.
Akane: And, we might also, maybe, just maybe… be working on some new songs, so…
Naho: So please come and see us. And keep listening to us in the future!
Akane: We’re playing at JROCK NEWS’s event on September 13, so come see us! It’s at ANTIKNOCK!
