J-pop band evening_cinema sat down with Billboard_JAPAN to elaborate on their inspirations, their songwriting style, the dynamics of the band and more in this new interview.
Last summer, the global visibility of a J-pop band called evening cinema was elevated to new heights after its collaborative single called “summertime” with J-pop trio cinnamons became a viral hit on TikTok. Hot on the heels of its newfoundrecognition, the four-man band released a flurry of singles in succession this year — “Eien ni tsuite” , “Still Shine,” “See Off,” and “After All” — and recently added another new song called “Good Luck” to this list at the end of October.
evening cinema’s songs clearly convey the band’s aesthetic, concepts, and the direction of its sound. Could you tell us a bit about your production process?I write all the parts during the demo stage, then ask the other members to arrange them. We performed live together for a year, so I now have a sense of how each guy operates, and seem to be able to write songs more easily than before.
There seems to be a consistency in the songs the band has released this year — “Still Shine,” “See Off,” “After All,” and “Good Luck” — including the cover artwork. What’s the concept behind these tracks?We do consider them as a series. I also wanted to make things that left people with a clear-cut impression that we four members take this band really seriously. The reason why the cover art is consistent is because I wanted people to think that something in the band changed during this period.
