For the bloody robot animation, I don’t know what impressions people have on them? Is it a handsome robot? The protagonists with a sense of justice? Or are they the hottest theme songs? .
In Japan, there is an AniSong combination, which can often be seen in the animation of blood robots. In addition to robot animation, they also sang a lot of special theme songs and tried to sing for beautiful girls games. The sizzling songs are the royal combination of the theme songs of the game robot war series. They are the “JAM Project”. .
I believe that students who have a certain understanding of ACG in Japan will not be familiar with the name “JAM Project”. “JAM Project” was originally composed of Suzuki Ichiro, Hayayama Hiroshi, Matsumoto Rika, Sakamoto Hideaki and Endo Masaaki. It is composed of slogans “Even in the 21st century, it still leaves an outstanding and immortal animated soul”. A combination. Later, due to personal reasons and working relationships, Ichiro occasionally participated in the event as a “very diligent (unscheduled) member. Sakamoto Yoshito announced his graduation in 2003, and Matsumoto Rika announced in 2008 that “the event was closed.” At the same time, Kitano, Okui Yami, Fukuyama, and non-scheduled Brazilian singer Ricardo Cruz joined. At present, the main active members of the JAM Project are Shadow Mountain Hao Xuan, Endo Masaaki, Kitaguyang, Okui Masami, and Fukuyama Fangshu. .
For a long time, the JAM Project has many fans in China. I hope that the JAM Project will be able to hold concerts in China, but the JAM Project does not have a domestic sub-station every time. But the enthusiasm of the fans, JAM Project has always felt that at the beginning of this year, JAM Project announced the 2018 Asian tour concert, without warning, after many years. The two-time tour of Guangzhou and Chengdu in mainland China once again made the fans ecstatic. As the first stop of the Asian tour, it was also the first stop for domestic performances. Before the show, JAM Project held a simple interview in Guangzhou. The JAM Project responded to questions from fans and the media. The following is the content of this interview. .
Q . . . . . . . . : This is the first time that the JAM Project has come to Guangzhou to hold a concert. Next, I have to go to Chengdu. How do you feel about this? .
Endo Masaaki: . For JAM, this is the first time to come to the city, full of expectations. I really like this kind of heartbeat that I have in the first time in the city, so this time I am full of expectations. .
Aojing Yamei: . The first time I came to Guangzhou was last summer. I personally haven’t been here. Chengdu has never been there. It’s really the first time. Needless to say, I am still looking forward to the local cuisine. It is said to be very spicy, so I am looking forward to a hot showdown with Kitayama. Full of expectations! .
影山浩宣: . So far, JAM has only been to Shanghai and Beijing to open concerts. China is a very large country with many cities, so it is very important to open a concert in a city that has not been visited before. It is a big challenge. .
北谷洋: . Probably only the first time I came to Guangzhou and Chengdu, I really came to the city I had never been to, because I was singing Anisong and I was doing JAM. It was very happy. Things. I will mark the place I have been on the globe with a needle, and it is too happy to add the marker again this time. .
Fukuyama Fangshu: . I am probably the 5th or 6th time? Every time I come, I will tell me that I must come over in the name of JAM. I have said it for ten years. Finally came, finally came in the name of JAM. Although everyone has come here separately and sang the song of JAM, it is really a pleasure to sing together five people this time. .
Q : Excuse me, have you ever seen Guangzhou before, and have you tried something in Guangzhou? .
影山浩宣:There are many types of Chinese cuisine. There are all kinds of Sichuan cuisine. Guangzhou is a Cantonese cuisine. Endo said that Cantonese cuisine is the best. Probably the most easy entry for Japan is Cantonese cuisine. It may be because the seasonings are not so strong, and the octagonal is rarely used. .
北谷洋: . About Guangzhou, I heard from everyone that Chengdu is really a panda, right? .
影山浩宣: . But I don’t always see it on the road. (laughs).
Fukuyama Fangshu: . In Guangzhou, I didn’t really have a good sightseeing. It’s a feeling of coming and going, so I don’t know what sightseeing spots I have. I’m still looking forward to it. .

Q : The JAAM Project recently released a new single. The special feature of the new single “Steel of the Steel”, or interesting, is that it also features the combination of chorus, band performance and post-synthesis. Can you tell us more about the idea of this song, and what is the special intention? .
影山浩宣: . JAM also did a long time of super robot war music, how to say it, if you continue to do it, it will become very fixed anyway. This time I felt stronger and stronger than usual, and I felt that I did a good job in the production process. .
Q : It is said that the JAM Project specially prepared Chinese songs for the tour in China. How do you feel about singing Chinese songs? Is there anything that feels more difficult? .
影山浩宣: . It’s already very difficult to record. .
Aojing Yamei: . It’s all hard. .
影山浩宣: . It feels like it’s never finished. It’s very late, and Fukuyama almost missed the last tram. It’s really hard. .
北谷洋: . I don’t know what the correct answer is, although I’m not right, but I don’t know what is wrong. .
影山浩宣: . In Shanghai, the Chinese and Japanese mixed-race children gave us singing instructions. However, in the Japanese ear, the pronunciation of Chinese is extremely difficult. I thought it was like this, but it was said that it was wrong, but the next time I said it was wrong, I didn’t know what the correct answer was. .
北谷洋: . Sometimes it happens to be right. .
Aojing Yamei: . Exactly. .
Fukuyama Fangshu: . Sing to hit it. .
Endo Masaaki: . Like a guess. .
影山浩宣: . The rhythm of this song is faster than last time, so it is difficult. .

Q :JAM PROJECT feels that it has always added various new elements to its own music. So, is there anything in JAM’s composition or performance that is “absolutely want to experiment once” or “absolutely want to achieve it once”? .
北谷洋: . Isn’t it a DJ? .
影山浩宣: . That is my interest. What are the ideas of Endo in the name of JAM? .
Endo Masaaki: . We are the combination of singing Anisong, the songs of the blood robot are more, I want to try the girl type song. .
影山浩宣: . Is this actually this? It is not impossible. .
Aojing Yamei: . Can you sing with a cute feeling? .
Endo Masaaki: . No, just sing like this. .
影山浩宣: . Then cover “Snow halation”. .
Together: . (laughing out loud) .
影山浩宣: . What else does Okui think? .
Aojing Yamei: . What else? .
影山浩宣:Isn’t there any new form for us to challenge? For example, when “Fisting Superman”, there is a lot of topicality. It is said that JAM also tries new forms, and it will think a lot. So even in the same tough songs, the songs of Super Robot Wars and the songs of “One Punch Superman” will have the same feeling of rock. So in the future when I am asked for a new tie up, I hope to create a new form of rock. .
Q :JAM PROJECT has done LIVE in various forms, it doesn’t need to be plugged in, like the symphony orchestra, and the MONSTER band on MONSTER PARTY, I heard that Mr. Endo will also challenge music recently. Drama, what kind of LIVE will JAM PROJECT want to try in the future? .
Endo Masaaki: . People always want to challenge a variety of new things. .
影山浩宣: . It’s not that you want to do this, but every time you find it yourself, and then you can improve yourself. .
Aojing Yamei: . It’s fun. .
Endo Masaaki: . Still want to do another MONSTER band. .
Aojing Yamei: . Zepp Tour and the like. .
北谷洋: . That’s too great. .
影山浩宣: . Good specific. .

Q : Mr. Fukuyama Fangshu should be the one who came to Guangzhou to perform the most. May I ask Mr. Fukuyama in such many performances in Guangzhou, have you ever had any interesting things to share with you? .
Fukuyama Fangshu: . When I first came here, it was probably this venue. It was more than 10 years ago, I don’t remember it. At that time, there were a lot of equipments that were not in place. I was worried that I could successfully hold them. The staff here worked hard all the time. Finally, it was successfully completed, and then the staff cried and hugged together. This is the most impressive thing. .
Q : Two years is the 20th anniversary of the JAM Project. Looking back on the journey of joining the JAM Project over the past 10 years, do you have any experiences and experiences to share? .
北谷洋: . Sure enough, it’s Beijing’s crying live. So big people are still moved to cry, it’s really a great live. .
影山浩宣: . I have been at the end of the day and I have been at Endo, and the time to become a five-person system is also overwhelming. It is also a very important moment for JAM to become five people. .
Endo Masaaki: . The lead singers are mostly capricious. .
Aojing Yamei: . I am not arrogant. .
Together: . (laughing out loud) .
Endo Masaaki: . The lead singers are very personal, and 5 people like this can get together for nearly 20 years. This is the most miraculous point. Being able to continue for so long shows that we have a good sense of balance. If it is not such a member, it may not last for so long. .
影山浩宣: . When I first came to China for the first Asian tour in 2008, it was also a very important memory. .
Aojing Yamei: . There are many more. .
Fukuyama Fangshu: . Like Shadow Mountain just said, the 2008 Asian tour, in fact, I did not think about it when I came in this combination. It was originally a combination of live only once a year. Before I came in, I was a live combination in a small livehouse, but at that time there was already a dream of having a concert at the Budokan. It was originally played as a guest once a year, but now it has become the most central person, and it feels very good. It’s a combination that started around 40 years old. It’s probably the longest combination for everyone. It’s a long time to make music together. It feels very good.
The whole show that night was very exciting, and all kinds of bloody chorus was repeated and again. Sure enough, no matter how many times they came alone, the JAM Project performance with five people was the most shocking. Although this Asian tour only has two stations in Guangzhou and Chengdu in China, in the BML held in Shanghai in July, the JAM Project will be a guest performer. If you like the students of JAM Project, this Asian tour can’t catch up. If you don’t miss the performance in July, don’t miss it. .
