YUKI: Like always, we will give you our sound with 100% of power.
But regardless of being Jupiter, since we have really few opportunities to meet fans personally, both our and fans' tension rises and because of it there's no doubt that our shows will be special ones.

11. The name of your first single was "Blessing of the Future". It sounds like a new start for everyone...so what has given you the idea for that title?
The member who choosed the song title was HIZAKI.
Beautiful future with a blessing bestowed by God. Because I thought, that this band together with fans may create this kind of future.
12. Who's creating your stage outfits?....are you part in process of creating them?
MASASHI: Each of the members thinks about his costume and we are creating them during attentive fitting with the designer.
13. In August last year you released your Debut-album „Classical Element“...on the cover everyone can see a Pentagram. Such Pentagram has many different meanings in religion and occultism...what meaning it has for your album?
TERU: It is believed that large force is being born from the infinity trapped between the five-pointed star (pentagram) and inscribed in it pentagon. I was very attracted by this beautiful shape. Then, by combination of five elements that make up the universe, I visualized the ideas of our music.
14. „Classical Element“ has a wide-range of sound...where did you got your inspirations for the songs?
HIZAKI: Personally, I'm always listening to the various music, but the influence of classical music is great. At the same time, by reading philosophy books the amount of things I learn is also big.

HIZAKI: Next thing is that we want to make the large-scale EU tour.

Let's have fun and love each other.
HIZAKI: Sorry for keeping you waiting for so long. I'm looking forward to meeting you. We need the power of each of you, so please, spread the word about "Jupiter". During LIVEs, let's love each other with our full strength.

Till that moment please, listen to Jupiter's music firmly and remember it.
