yasu about the name "Acid Black Cherry":
(note: excerpts of the interview translations are taken from Kiku's Translations! Please have a look on this wonderful site for more ABC (and also Janne) translations.)
  • Why did you choose the name "Acid Black Cherry"?

    It has to do with the overlying theme of my solo project, that being "eroticism". I thought that with such a theme, I could personally bring out my own, natural self in the best way possible. Of course, I plan to expand on this with both visual and melodic aspects. So, I chose words that would bring forth this kind of erotic atmosphere to use as my proper name for this project. Eh...also since the acronym is "ABC", too. (Laughs.)
  • As a popular alias, you go by "ABC"...it's like you're interviewing as a new artist (Laughs). So, we want to hear how you came up with that name.

    Really, I was just messing around with words. (Laughs) At first, I thought, I should come up with a name that doesn't put me on the chopping block, so to speak, and that's when I thought that I should call myself something that falls into the erotic theme that I've been using. Somehow, the members of a band called "Black Cherry", with that sexual energy, would complete the vision, or something (Laughs)

    Haha, it just came out of nowhere, then (Laughs). So, "c" and "d" are a representation of "cherry", did you mean it that way?

    Yes. (Laughs) And then, there are words like "Acid" that we have, right? "Acid Black Cherry"... "ABC"...it sounds good in your head, doesn't it? Ah, yeah, that's good, I thought. (Laughs) The process was lighthearted like that. ABC, it's nice to keep it simple, right?
  • 生 crude, raw

    There's nothing else that comes to mind to a guy when he hears the word "crude" than it, right? (Laughs.) My ideal is vulgarity! I think any guy thinks the same way when it comes to a steady girlfriend. Recently, I haven't been in love, or been to C yet, either...(Laughs)
    Eh?! Young people don't say ABC anymore?! In our day, A was kissing, B was everything that came after that, and C was sex. Man, even though I put it in my lyrics. Even though I made sure that Acid Black Cherry abbreviates as "ABC". They really don't say that anymore...eh...I feel the generation gap now...

Kiku's Translations - Janne Da Arc Translation Site - I love this site! It hasn't just translations of Janne Da Arc songs, it also features translations of all Acid Black Cherry songs and a lot of interviews with yasu. Especially the interviews are fun to read. I highly recommend "yasu no Saikin Donna Kanji?", it's a serial interview column with yasu from CD Data.
