Welcome. My name is Wataru Shindo, Liplich's bass player. Kuga and I formed Liphlich, but at that moment we still didn't have a drummer and a guitarist. We found Eiki and Takayukiya a few years later. If I had to tell you which song is my favorite... I'd say it's John and Jane Doe. In this song, we worked with everyone's ideas. It leaves a strong impression. Oh, and we have a vibrant bass playing in this song.

I've never been under surveillance. In some countries, it's hard to "laugh" because of my tattoos. There are different religions in different countries and regions, and sometimes they don't like tattoo patterns. But I would be happy to go to any country that would let me in. It's not that I hate being abroad. I just didn't have the opportunity to go, so if I had the opportunity, I would go from here and show everyone this thing called Liphlich. "Laughs," Chicago would be great, or New York.

I like the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and as for the bass players, I like Marcus Miller. And I admire Jean Renault. I don't watch many movies, but LEON made a huge impression on me. I don't think I can ever be like that, but I admire him, so if I had the chance, I'd like to see how he would handle it. I wonder how he would have behaved.

When we started the band, I had never played an instrument, and so when I ended up playing the bass instead of learning from textbooks, I was self-taught. That's why I listened to a lot of music, and the bass stood out the most to me. There are musicians who really stood out as mentors to me, and they were the ones who really helped me and put the needle of my inner compass in the direction I wanted to go.
