TAIA Interview

Tuesday, May 10th, 2011

Post your comments about our TAIA Interview and let us know what you thought of them.

“There isn’t a particular style that we decided on. It just naturally turned out this way. That’s why I think we will continue to change.” – TAKA

Goth, metal and rock are the common descriptions of the group TAIA. Taking their name from the Japanese word for raven, TAIA originally formed back in 1998 in Okinawa. In 2002 their song Beware won first prize at the Okinawa Goza Music Festival, effectively launching the group on their current path. With three albums released and an energy-charged show, the group, under the sultry vocals of SEIKA, show every sign of being a force to reckon with.

So come learn the story of the group who proclaim: “We all like different genres of music, so when we’re composing, each individual adds their own arrangement and their own personalities. That’s how our current style came to be.”

On May 9, 2010 the members of TAIA were kind enough to give an interview to J-Pop World. TAIA Interview
