Ami Sakguchi is only turning 20 years old this year and has been performing on stage since 2015 when she was just 13 years old. Following this amazing debut she'd continue performing and releasing independent music until her major debut in 2017; releasing four singles, one mini album, and two full-length albums since then. Her third single, "LION", was used as the opening theme of the anime "Smile Down The Runway", and her most recent single, "Central", is the current closing theme for the anime "Boruto". We were lucky to recently talk to her about her latest music, her songwriting process, and how she's handled the current worldwide pandemic. There's a lot here for current fans to take in, and even more for those new to her and her music. Now, without further ado, let's dive into the interview!
Seven Billion Dots is band that is probably best known to A-to-J's readers due their work on "Granblue Fantasy The Animation" and "Boruto", with the songs "Stay With Me" and "Maybe I" respectively. They're a rock band made up of vocalist/guitarist Masafumi and twin brothers Ken and Lyo, on guitar and drums, that formed in 2018. We caught up to them recently to discuss their first full-length album, "HOPE", that dropped recently and we discussed everything from the album, the band's origin and message, and how they've been handling the current worldwide pandemic. Let's dive into the interview proper and get a feel for the band and unique sound and themes.
We've had the pleasure to sit down and talk with ACME a couple times in the past (with interviews that can be found HERE and HERE) and we're sure that we'd have had an opportunity to do so again in 2020 if not for the current, ongoing worldwide pandemic. A trying year for everyone around the world, ACME, like countless bands around the world, pulled through it as best they could and would round out the year with a rather interesting song in the form of "RISING SUN". Let's take a closer look at both this song, its MV, and even close out with a discussion about the song with the band themselves!
