 {{question|Above all, the clouddead remix was the Mid-term Beatles, and it was very interesting because it had a sound that reminded me of it. What did you keep in mind when working on this remix?}}
-{{boc|A: I received a song from Clouddead that was just made for remixing, but I wanted to make it an angle that no one could predict. Many people expect that when they hear we've done a remix, they'll make a lot of sambles and an electronics version of the song. , Mike was messing around. That's why I noticed that the common chord progressions represented by The Beatles fit perfectly into this song. I thought it would be very interesting to do this arrangement for the whole song. I was tired of remixing just a lot of dance beats. That's why we usually extract only the vocal part and re-add the song. That remix work was a lot of fun. Because I wondered how interesting and crazy psychedelic sounds could be added to each section. But when we read a magazine that said we sampled the Beatles sound in that remix, I was a little confused. Because the sound of that remix was all the sound we made from nothing, and the song itself was a tribute to a song of the Electric Light Orchestra (ELO). But maybe ELO was paying homage to The Beatles in their song, so I can't say anything.}}

 {{question|Now, I would like to ask you various specific questions about the new album. First of all, was there a big difference in the production process compared to the previous work ''[[Geogaddi]]'' If so, what are the points?}}

 {{question|Does this work contain field-recorded sounds other than transformers and electronic sounds? If so, what does it sound like?}}
-{{boc|MA: There are many recordings of the sound of space. I wanted to express the outdoor feeling in this album, but I didn't want it to be expressed too prominently. We recorded the sound of a large space, the sound of a different environment, but it's rather playing in the background, making our music even stronger. For example, "[['84 Pontiac Dream]]" is a recording of the hustle and bustle of the streets of New York. In the sound, an angry taxi driver and a fat American woman shopping are recorded. The reason why I used such a sound is that this song originally had such a background or concept. Also, most of the sounds in "[[Chromakey Dreamcoat]]" were recorded on the beach. We like to delusion various things from the song title.

 {{question|In particular, I think that many of your song titles stir your imagination along with the music. However, what surprised me a little this time was the title "[['84 Pontiac Dream]]". Speaking of Pontiac, I feel that the image of "sporty American cars" such as Trans Am is strong. The year 1984 is attached to it ... It's very different from the image of BOC. Why do you have a title like this?}}

 {{boc|MI: This song is about a man caught in a stasis in the middle of the city in bad weather. In the traffic, he envisions in his mind another fantasy self, riding a sports car and sprinting through the highways of wilderness. His fantasies are going on in his mind at the same time, but in the end he gets into a crappy car and returns to his true self caught in the traffic jams of the rainy city. I think we're really influenced by the movies and TV shows we watched as a kid. That's largely because I lived in Canada and had similar shows in the UK, but at one point I had a very strong image of North America, big TV logos, sports cars in the early 80's, stunt movies, For example, there was a time when it was disseminated by "Cannonball" and "Great Stuntman". There's music that's very analog, but it uses synthesizers, with the image of that "Running 5000km", the Pontiac Firebird, and the image of a race where Trans Am runs through the wilderness. I wanted to get closer to that sound. That's why this song shows consent to Glen A. Larson and Lorimar, who were involved in the production of the TV show at the time.}}
-{{question|This time, there is also the title "[[Dayvan Cowboy]". This "Day van" is also a car, isn't it?}}
+{{question|This time, there is also the title "[[Dayvan Cowboy]]". This "Day van" is also a car, isn't it?}}
 {{boc|MI: This song has a special story. It's a surfer's story, he thinks he's a hero. He has a very personal illusion. The illusion is that you go out into the wilderness, do various radical things, and go on a trip like that, where you stay in a van that you have customized yourself, but this bread is like Davan. It's called an astrovan, and it was a popular vehicle for traveling to North America in the late 70's and early 80's. For us, Davan is a virtue of the television and road movies of the time, with vibratoed synthesizer-heavy theme songs. Also, the graphics on the customized Davan body are an inspiration for us, reminiscent of the positive side of the so-called "Americana". I have the image of traveling and adventuring while interacting with nature. When we're writing songs, we often feel like we're making a soundtrack for someone's road trip. This time I felt like I was making an anthem to praise Davan.}}
-{{question|The album has titles such as "[[Into the Rainbow Vein]]", "[[Peacock Tail]]", "[Atraronchronon]" (= the name of the Iroquois country, which is an indigenous people of North America, meaning" people in the swamps "), and "[Tears From the Compound Eye]]" Contains songs. The place where these psychedelic keywords with nature and living things as motifs are mixed with fantastic electronic sounds and guitar sounds is exactly the "world of BOC". That's why the title with a car motif seemed surprising. Don't you love nature and the reasonable way of life that follows it? Still, I don't think I've fallen into mere "nature worship" or "nature admiration."}}

 {{boc|MA: I'm sure we're not making music to worship nature. It's true that we are influenced by nature, but that's just one factor. Music journalists often describe our work as being naturalistic, but that's our instinctive taste, and keep it in mind when writing songs. It's not like that. We get song inspiration and title ideas from different places and ideas. So, in our affairs, songs inspired by nature are exactly the same as songs inspired by cars and certain times. However, there is no difference in the process, just because the morals were inspired by different things. This album has the atmosphere of exploring, traveling, traveling by car, and getting lost in a surreal world where you can't understand what's going on along the way. .. It's a world that's unfolding in a completely unclear state, whether it's an actual journey or a fantasy journey that you envision in your head. And that world is set in a golden age when we tribute, places like North America and Canada in beautiful times that we personally remember, and times when things were simpler and happier than they are now. I'm here.}}

 {{question|The title of the last song is "[[Farewell Fire]]". There is a word "okuribi" in Japanese. "The last night of Obon, the fire that burns to send the love of our ancestors that we have been hospitable to." While listening to this song, the scene of such "okuribi" may come to my mind. What do you think about it? How did this song come about?}}
-{{boc|MA: That interpretation is good. For me, this song is a very sad song. But it doesn't mean anything concrete. It's like music that marks the end of something. It has a very lively and emotional end. Some of the songs on this album are well organized after a lot of work, including composition and sound process. But "[[Farewel Fire]" is different. This song was recorded live and I was trying to do it because it was midnight. In the United States, burning in the open is called "Farewell Fire". So it could be said that "[[Farewell Fire]]" is our own okuribi. Because this song was a song to send out the music that was created up to the present day.}}

 {{question|From "[[Farewell Fire]]", the album title is only ''[[The Campfire Headphase]]'', and literally "Flame of the farewell of the last night of the camp" comes to mind. What made you decide to use the word "campfire" in the album title this time (I think it's similar to BOC music, which connects to the night in the wilderness)?}}
