Hello there.... your first words for the Peruvian and LatinAmerican people...
Hello.We're GOTHIKA from Tokyo. We're playing some extraordinary electro music.
We're so interested in play gig in south America area. If many request came from there, we can play there in near future easier.

To begin, tell me. Why did you change your name Euthanasie to Gothika?
Because the name EUTHANASIE made some serious trouble in some european countries. We haven't know this name has such a  big problem. And we decided to change the name. And the name "GOTHIKA" was the best word for explain my music imaginations. 
 
 "120 days of sodom is your debut album! The title makes allusion to the Marquis de Sade.   Do you feel highly influenced by this writer? Did you watch the sick movie by Pasolini (Italy)?
Yeah, we got the this title from the movie of Pasolini. We influenced by this movie. And the one song from our album was fitting with this sickness world.
 
Your slogan is: "Sexed up Electronica!!". How so important the sex is for you?
One of our fans in Japan explained our style like that first. And we thought "That's cool!!". So we are using this word as our slogan.

In Latin america the anime is popular, oh yeah.. but with respect to the sex, are you addicted to the Hentai? Some series that you would recommend us to see?
I don't know the specific title....But I'm recently interested in some Doujin CG animation.

The version "Night in my hands" (Sara Nox ) is very interesting,  how did you decide to add elements of Japanese music?
Include the elements of Japanese music to this song was the order from Sara. I didn't need  a lot of times for make this remix, because of it was really natural arrangement for us.

Are there festivals of Gothic music in Japan? What can you tell us about the TOKYO DARKCASTLE?
Unfortunately Japanese gothic market is not so big. And we don't have big festival... Tokyo Dark Castle is the high quality gothic club event.
 
What Japanese and foreigners bands have influenced Gothika? Some new Japanese band that you would recommend us to listen? What do you say about Moix Dix Mois, Phantasmagoria or Blood?
We influenced by some european music.Industrial,electro and Ambient stuff... I can't say about the V-kei bands. Moix Dix Mois is playing nice music.
 
Many visualkei bands like to dress as a woman,  do you know which the origin of this attitude is?   Uhmmm If you were women, what do you think that you would be making now?
Basically Japanese people are thinking these style are made by X Japan. If I was woman, I wanted to be stripper or prostitute...
 
What do you think about the following topics?:
Religion: God
Bondage: SM
Sex: Destruction and creation
Drugs: Illusion
Sake : Moderate degeneration
 
Changing topic, tell me. which are the expectations of your live show in the Wave Gotik Treffen 2008?
"The gothic band never come from Japan." Will be end.
