Dio: We don’t know yet. But we are sure about Dio has better sense for composing new songs now. So, if we can…(!?)

AMP: Dio is back after 6 years! That’s quite a long time. What have the members been doing during that time?

AMP: You’ve been to Poland two times – what are your memories of that country?

Dio: Polish audiences are pretty awesome. We think they have huge passions for music. We can enjoy and feel their attitude well every time.

erina: In Paris I and denka had to escape against “Something”. Sorry, I can’t tell the reason.

ivy: I wore sunglasses just during stay in Europe.

denka: Some “Males” tried “A Proposal” to me.

AMP: What was your biggest culture shock when you first came to Europe or Poland in particular?

mikaru: I saw many flower girls in Europe. And I thought it is so romantic.

denka: A lot of fans already waited at the venue for our concert few days before.

AMP: What should the fans expect from this tour? Will you surprise them with anything?

Dio: Don’t forget please. This is not just “Come back”. Dio is becoming better ever still now! People will be able to feel it. So, Just follow us.

AMP: You’re performing during this tour together with Dirtrucks – what is your impression of them?

Dio: In fact we’ve never seen their performances on stage yet. Anyway they seems pretty cool style. Therefore we are really looking forward to have performances together on this tour.

AMP: You’ve just got back together as a band, but let’s reminescence a little about the very beginning! How did you get to know each other and how the band came into existence?

Dio: At first, mikaru met with ivy. They decided to make a great band, and tried to find band member. And after, they could find 2 guitarists whom named kei and erina. Few months later, finally denka joined the band. Then, this is the moment of birth of Dio in 2006!

AMP: If you could turn for one day into any different band member, who would it be and what would you do during that day?

mikaru: Frodo Baggins …Ahh no no, denka! (I want to destroy “The Ring” like him with Gandalf, The Hobbit, Elf, Dwarf, and human.)

kei: mikaru (I want to be a vampire like him, and I’d like to bite to people also.)

erina: kei (He is taller and taller than me. So, I want to enjoy different “Viewing”.)

ivy: kei (I want to try severity as working in public society.)

denka: ivy (If I can use a magic which he has, it will be more easy to go back to Mars.)

AMP: And if you could turn into any anime character, who would you choose and why?

mikaru: Son-Goku from 『Dragon Ball』 (Coz strong,  Very strong, Well…Strong!)
