13:29:32 <bay|SC|AoiHaruna> Starting off with Eir Aoi
13:29:32 <bay|SC|AoiHaruna> How did you guys start your career? How did you become a signer?
13:29:33 <bay|SC|AoiHaruna> It's quite simple actually, i put up my video on nico, and someone contacted me after seeing my video, and that's it
13:29:33 <bay|SC|AoiHaruna> And to be hostnest, when I first got approached, i thought it was strange
13:29:33 <bay|SC|AoiHaruna> And I know you also debuted in an anime magazine
13:30:04 <bay|SC|AoiHaruna> The magazine was called "Lis-ani" and it was the first time my cd was put into the world, so it was mixed feelings of nervous ness and also very (lost)
13:30:22 <bay|SC|AoiHaruna> And that song was called Frozen (eyes?) and it was also my first complete full album
13:30:42 <bay|SC|AoiHaruna> Now Luna, can you tell us a bit about your career and how you started... correct me if i'm wrong but you did some modelling work before becoming a singer
13:33:40 <bay|SC|AoiHaruna> Yes, I first started off in modeling in a magazine called kera, and after doing a few shots there, they asked if i wanted to enter an aniem song grand prix, and that's how it went from there
13:33:47 <bay|SC|AoiHaruna> You also started in LIz ani didn't you?
13:33:57 <bay|SC|AoiHaruna> Yes, that's true,I also had a debut in the magazine, and seeing the music going out is a very (lsot) moment
13:34:31 <bay|SC|AoiHaruna> So you both debuted, what happened after that
13:34:36 <bay|SC|AoiHaruna> Can you talk about your offical debut song? Starting with Eir

13:35:33 <bay|SC|AoiHaruna> Now Luna, can you tell us about your debut song?
13:36:24 <bay|SC|AoiHaruna> So my first debut song also came in the form of fate zero's ending
13:36:29 <bay|SC|AoiHaruna> sorawa takaku kazewa utau
13:36:40 <bay|SC|AoiHaruna> and the song was tied in with the anime itself, and lots of the lyrics were drawn from the charaters
13:37:04 <bay|SC|AoiHaruna> and there is real drama between iris and kiritsugu...and when i tried to sing this, i tried to imagine and vision what's going on in those characters songs and thats (lost)
13:37:17 <bay|SC|AoiHaruna> How did you choose your outfit for the song? (CD cover)
13:38:15 <bay|SC|AoiHaruna> It was actually very carefully chosen, it's H and ALto...and my second single overfly, and that's why this has a very floaty feel (huh? lost?)
13:38:25 <bay|SC|AoiHaruna> Clip from FZ ed
13:40:05 <bay|SC|AoiHaruna> Both of your songs were both chosen for the same anime, but you were also both chosen for the theme songs for sword art online
13:40:25 <bay|SC|AoiHaruna> and sword art online is based off a video game, and Eir, I heard you are a big fan of games
13:40:49 <bay|SC|AoiHaruna> I love them.... (something about xbox which wasn't translated)
13:40:52 <bay|SC|AoiHaruna> Left 4 Dead...Gears of War
13:41:03 <bay|SC|AoiHaruna> Can you tell us more about the theme song for SAO
13:42:33 <bay|SC|AoiHaruna> As you guys know, I'm a bit of a gamer and I also love anime, so when I heard i could sing for SAO, it was really touchin, i twas really happen, and when i sing SAO, i try to get the emotion through (lost) and i just try to give myself really fun feelings when i 'm up here
13:42:42 <bay|SC|AoiHaruna> And Luna, I also heard your single ws chosen for SAO
13:44:23 <bay|SC|AoiHaruna> So my second single overfly, this was the ending theme of SAO, and a lot of the lyrics, i tried to convey the emotion between kirito and asuna, it was really painful and tension between them, and it's converyed through the lyrics and i want you to listen to it and let it give you ourage, and personally, given all that, i'm a fan of klein(?)
13:44:30 <bay|SC|AoiHaruna> we do have clips of the singles, do you want to check them out?
13:49:27 <bay|SC|AoiHaruna> (talking about Eir's Album Blau)
13:49:28 <bay|SC|AoiHaruna> So yes, my new album Blau, which is blue in german went on sale jan 30th, and the inspiration and the reason i called it that is my name is inspired by the color blue and it contains a lot of different aspects of the characters that i have and the color blue is an overarching theme there
13:49:28 <bay|SC|AoiHaruna> And the opening song is called avalon blue and we also have a clip from that....
13:52:13 <bay|SC|AoiHaruna> Now Eir, you also toured in japan with this album release...what did you like about performing live
13:54:03 <bay|SC|AoiHaruna> (Basically when you perform live, it's a different sensation because of the fans and their energy) and whenever I sing live, there is also this chant that the audience will do for me...
13:54:16 <bay|SC|AoiHaruna> Now Luna I heard you made an interesting video...
13:56:13 <bay|SC|AoiHaruna> So yea, I think the clip he's talking about, it goes with mahou no shiro, shinjitsu no sou, this was the c/w (lost).it's not 100% animated but it's this weird balance between 2d and 3d, and it resonated with me because it (lost)
13:57:46 <bay|SC|AoiHaruna> Now we covered a lot of songs today, and I bet people are asking are any of these songs available in teh US?
13:58:14 <bay|SC|AoiHaruna> So yes, both singles are available on itunes and amazon
13:58:34 <bay|SC|AoiHaruna> (? and overfly) so I hope you will give it a listen

14:00:24 <bay|SC|AoiHaruna> Q: Would either of you like to try voice acting?
14:00:32 <bay|SC|AoiHaruna> (can't see who is answering these)
14:01:54 <bay|SC|AoiHaruna> A: So there was a period when I wanted to voice act and since I'm a big anime fan, especially of FMA, there is a feature in a magazine called gangan, and it took you throught he place they were doing the voice actors and i thought it was cool, but that was a passing phase
14:01:55 <bay|SC|AoiHaruna> (lost rest)
14:02:34 <bay|SC|AoiHaruna> Q: (cannot hear the question at all)
14:03:55 <bay|SC|AoiHaruna> A: With all that music talent in one place, it was aspiring and stimulating, not just as an artist...but as a fan... (lost)
