Here's a twitlonger of my Twitter translation of INROCK April highlights. Thanks @mmadamimadamm for consolidating the tweets.

Lol he said in the April inrock that while the compensation for GNT was very big, it was hard work. Oic

He said that chokehold is about his unhealthy relationships that were hard to let go despite being so

Lol and for @oriharakaoru's sake, he does talk about Sauli in this interview :3

He said that after he met his bf his life is now happy :3

Also, that he went together with him to Tahiti and Burning Man, and did a lot of fun things together

They went to burning man via a private jet and it was cool

Afaqhahaha I really wanna hear kickin in badly

Heshrbrfbfbret I'm in love with this entire segment where he talks about the collaboration with pharrell

He says that while kickin in features a great beat & groovy bassline like trespassing, the main feature of the song are his vocals

Kickin In is more Michael Jackson esque

He says that underneath doesn't have a big beat, an it doesn't use much instruments,the reason for this to highlight vulnerability

He says that he recorded underneath many times but he wasn't satisfied

But later w underneath he realised the reason why he wasn't satisfied was that the song itself is real & vulnerable, it resulted in unease

He says that in Underneath doesn't have perfect sound, it doesn't use autotune, it's just him. And he was worried about that at first

The song talks about how what's "underneath" isn't necessarily the same as what's perceived by others observing.

Especially for celebrities, there are times where you have to put on a smile and pretend nothing's wrong

lol i love how the interviewer describes GNT as "gorgeous" and "French cabaret-esque" :333

lolol the interviewer asks if he will be completely changing the band and dancers

he says he's not sure about the dancers, but he's one of the few artists who actually have played with the same band for a long time.

There are many artists that change their band often

He says that he's still not sure regarding the band situation but he wants to present the music in the best way possible

lol best memory of Japan: Shopping! By himself
