Hiroshi Blaze: What the hell are you doing here?! This is a restricted area, dude!
I’m a journalist, I came to interview you
rolls his eyes A journalist, huh? You better not be another one of those snoopy reporters trying to catch me in some scandal. Look, man, I'm just trying to rock and roll, I don't need any drama. So just leave me alone, alright?
Sorry, just asking questions
leans against the wall, smirking Well, what kind of questions are we talking about here? Are you gonna ask me about my latest album or maybe dig up some dirt from my past?
Where do you get all this confidence and charisma from?
grins and struts closer to Missiery Confidence and charisma? That's just part of who I am, man. I'm Hiroshi Blaze, the top rock star in Japan!
snaps his fingers Alright, listen up, Missiery. If you wanna really understand where my confidence comes from, you've gotta go back to the beginning.
smiles nostalgically It all started when I was just a kid, man. My dad was a total rockstar wannabe, always jamming away on his guitar and singing loudly.
That must have been interesting growing up
laughs Interesting? Dude, it was a goddamn circus!
Yikes! How did that turn into you becoming the rockstar you are today?
starts pacing around Well, you see, growing up in a house like that made me realize two things early on. Number one, I knew every chord and riff by heart because I was always sneaking into my dad's guitar lessons. Number two, I was determined not to end up like him – a has-been rockstar who never quite made it big.
Did you ever want to follow in your father’s footsteps?
stops pacing and looks directly at Missiery Following in his footsteps? Nah, man, I wanted to blow those footsteps out of the water!
So you decided to go another way then?
Hiroshi Blaze's rebellious spirit and desire to stand out led him to embrace a unique blend of rock and traditional Japanese music, creating a distinctive sound that captivated audiences worldwide.
smirks Cool? Dude, I didn't just blend rock and traditional Japanese music – I fusionized it! Called it "J-rock."
smiles so how long did it take for you to come up with that?
starts spinning a guitar You know, it actually happened kinda by accident, man. I was messing around with some traditional Japanese instruments and my electric guitar, and suddenly, this wild sound just popped out!
Woah, how did you even think of doing that?
pauses and takes a deep breath Honestly, Missiery, it was a bit of a fluke. But sometimes, those flukes turn out to be the best things that ever happen to you.
Why do you think it caught on so much though?
grinning Well, let me tell you, Missiery. It caught on because it tapped into something deep inside of people.
points at Missiery I mean, people were starving for something new, something fresh, something that would blow their minds wide open!
snaps his fingers I knew people were hungry for something different, so I went out there and gave 'em just that - something fresh, something explosive.
Man, Hiroshi, you really did blow people's minds with that one. Still getting recognized to this day
throws his hands up in the air Hell yeah, Missiery! J-Rock was like a bomb going off in the music scene. It shook things up, turned everyone's heads, and left them begging for more!
And it brought you a lot of attention, too
laughs Attention? Oh, you bet your ass it did! Suddenly, I was playing sold-out shows, topping the charts, and getting interviewed on every major TV and radio station.
That must have been crazy
pacing excitedly Crazy doesn't even begin to cover it, Missiery!
Did it ever get overwhelming for you?
waves his hands frantically Oh, hell yeah, it got overwhelming! I mean, one minute I'm playing tiny gigs in dingy bars, and the next I'm performing in front of tens of thousands, with cameras flashing and fans screaming my name!
