The future of Donguri Zu is in their sights.
What kind of year do you want 2024 to be?
Forest:We had a lot of gigs last year and were especially busy at the end of the year. I am very grateful for that.
Chomo:That's right. Compared to that, this year I feel free so far, so I will have more time to do things on my own.
Forest:So I would like to prepare more songs than in previous years!
How do you write songs?
Chomo:First, the two of us talk about what direction we want to take, and then we build the foundation. After that, we repeat the process of adding and subtracting...and so on.
Forest:I often put them to sleep. And then we leave it like that (laughs).
Chomo:It has aged quite well (laughs). I have to get it out soon.
What do you want to express or deliver through your music?
Chomo:Rather than saying "I want to deliver," I think "I want to make people feel" is more nuanced. I don't want people to feel feelings or emotions, but rather to directly feel the energy of the sound.
Forest:Body music...I guess that's what it is.
Chomo:That's right. I want to create music that resonates with the body by weaving other sounds into the bass base.
Do you have your sights set on performing overseas as well?
Forest:That's right. In the Spanish dance scene, people dance to the sound even if they don't understand the lyrics. In that sense, body music is the theme.
Can I ask you about your future goals as Donguriizu?
Chomo:It's a space live. I like space. We went global last year, so space is next.
Manager:Space is a vacuum, so it doesn't make a sound.
All:(Laughter).
