SAISEIGA - INTERVIEW - Ryan gets answers from another of his favorite bands!!

Here is my latest interview with a band I went nuts over and wouldn't shut up about for awhile, Saiseiga! I sent some questions off to them a couple months ago and they finally found time to answer them and here they are. Katsuki did a great job asking some perfect follow-up questions as well! Saiseiga is a band that has the Heaviest of Heavy and Some beautiful moments as well. Regan soars high and low with her original, smooth and brutal vocals and Tohko hits harder and louder than most drummers I've heard. Wakkun takes his musical influences and turns them into power-house riffs and wondrous solos, then Katsuki is there just holding ALL the groove and weight of everything down! Thank you ‪@SAISEIGATokyo‬ for taking the time to do this! I love the insight this brings to the band and I hope you gain more fans, and the fans you already have, like you even more! Please enjoy the video and give Saiseiga a listen on your own time, you won't be disappointed! There are a couple weird moments in the translation in the latter part, but the point comes across.... Thanks so much for the support, I couldn't do this without the Patrons!
