WIN an Autographed CD by J-Rock Band D!

J-Rock royalty talks music, fashion and winning their newest CD

Visual Kei band D played two concerts at PMX last weekend in Los Angeles, California. TOKYOPOP caught up with the J-rockers between their concerts to talk music, fashion and even Disneyland. D's new album Huang di ~Yami ni umareta mukui~, hits stores internationally Nov. 21st.

TOKYOPOP: How did the name D come about?

Asagi (vocalist): Passion! I'm joking; the name comes from the shape of the letter D. The first stroke of the letter D is a straight line, representing the strength of the inner core of a human. The second stroke is a curved line, which represents flexibility. You need both of these elements in life.

TP: What is the biggest difference between your Japanese fans and American fans? 

A: American fans have more prevalent voices; they respond more during our shows. Their loud voices make more of an impression on us; their enthusiasm directly contribute to how we perform live on stage.

TOKYOPOP would like to thank Babel Entertainment for providing the autographed album for this giveaway.

Correction: A story on November 14th incorrectly stated the date of the Japanese Tsunami as May 11^th rather than March 11th. The date has been corrected on the website and we apologize for the oversight.
