DJ Sharpnel, Maltine Records

I asked him, “Isn’t there any music that’s kind of a mix of gabber and anime songs?”
Someone told me, “It’s already out!” and showed it to me.  SHARPNEL, you know.

So I found out about Sharpnel, and I've been doing some very exciting and deeply moving songs.
for example, M1dy's Speedcore Dandy. My career actually started with a gabber compilation on Maltine Records.
And it was a track that sampled the anime Maria Holic. That's how my career started.

I LOVE SMOKING!!!!

I LOVE ████ !!!! I LOVE ████ !!

I used to think breakcore was something sacred, just like something holy.

I never really thought I’d become the kind of person who could make breakcore, so So, even if I make music that's really close to breakcore, I don't call it breakcore. I couldn't bring myself to call myself a breakcore artist.

But then, there was Fazerock, who ended up debuting on my label, a young artist, and with CDR and CDIE, and they introduced me to them.

he was at the club event I was performing at, or used to perform at, He came to hang out at my regular event and complimented my music, saying it was good.

and when I went over to his place to hang out and had him listen to my tracks, He smiled so much and told me that my music was really close to his own.

And that's when I finally started making breakcore.

I was finally able to think of myself as someone who could do it.

Bubblegum Luv Records. Yeah.

I didn't know at the time that Goreshit was the label owner.

I had nowhere else to release my work, so I went to him. So, I was at my wit's end, and that's when a DJ from Osaka, Japan, said "Yeah, it seems that a genre called Lolicore has just started to emerge on blogs, you know, online blogs." He caught wind of that information early on, through word of mouth.

I thought that might be it, so I reached out to them.

So, my MoeKyun EP, yeah. My masterpiece. The cover art for “MOE KYUN” was drawn by my real little sister when she was in her third year of junior high, lol.

Oh, thats really hard. Really hard question. It's really hard to decide, “This is it!” but, the song that left the biggest impression on me was, of course, this track, “MuneKyun HOliC,” is featured on the second installment of the Maltine Records gabber compilation that launched the career of the artist MO. (speaking in third person ww)

Oh,,, this is the hardest question yet!! Hmm....

This is seriously difficult. Tuna Mayonnaise. I think most people would act like typical Japanese and mention traditional foods like umeboshi or kombu. But since I’m an honest person, I’d just say I like tuna in mayonnaise. Just like with music, you shouldn't let your personal preferences cloud your judgment.

Fried Chicken. Family Mart Chicken. Famichiki is revolutionary! 

When I first tried it, I was like "WHATAFAK? WHAT IS THIS? WHAT IS THIS? REALLY?!! Why is this food cheap? Why??? It's so good! THIS IS CRIME! CRIME! CRIME! NONONO!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAH! Are you trying to drive KFC out of business!? Are you out of your mind!? There are things you should and shouldn't do!!!”

That's what I thought.

(we spent 5 minutes laughing at this.)

MO was originally called “MO-Sounds”—that was a reference to “I’ve Sound.” Then, MO started out as “MOE Sounds,” but using “MOE” as-is didn’t seem very interesting, so I dropped the “E” and made it “MO.” As an afterthought, it came to signify “midori” (weed) and “Oogaki” (my real last name).
