Hello P'Golf! Say a hello to Mike for me too. Congratutions on your debut!!!
G: I'm so glad too 'cause we've worked on this album for as long as 3-4 years. I never thought it would take this long. We kept screen testing so many times that I thought the album would pass but it failed. (Laughs) We kept correcting the songs...in several parts... so it took so longer time than other artists. At one point, we almost gave up but still managed to keep on until now.
^ I've got into Golf-Mike since last April (2005) that you made the cover of I-Spy.
G: Really ? That I-Spy cover was when we didn't release the album yet. So you've been a fan for over a year ? Thank you na krub. Oh...you can expect us on the cover of I-Spy again very soon na.
^ I bought the issue (of I-Spy) because P'Golf looked so much like "Lite", the leading character of "Death Note" manga. And I've been following after that.
G: I read this manga too. You've got the same fave manga as me! Me looks like Lite ? hmm....now that you said this... actually the leading character of this manga is who Mike wanna look like. "But sorry, Mike .... this girl says the character looks more like Golf* ". (Laughs) Sorry....
* Translator's note : Brothers/Sisters like to address themselves to their siblings by their nicknames.
Our faces might look a bit alike but my hair is different from Lite 'cause his hair is all on the side of the head. This manga is fun, indeed. You guys who haven't read it do try it if you have time. The story is about this leading character which was a good guy at first but after he accidentally grapped the Death Note which if you write someone's name on it, the person will die. So he started killing all the criminals and later enjoyed his killing power, then he used it in a wrong way. The guy has a strong (?) face so that probably makes him look like me, eh? But Mike has a sweet face. So between Mike and P'Golf, he probably looks more like me. (Laughs)
^ When I first heard of "Bounce" single on the radio, I think it made a debut at No.8 and moved to No.3 a week later on Hot Wave and it also made No.1 on EFM's charts. I was so excited listening to the chart report.
G: When we first launched the first single, we nearly turned on the radio all the time although we barely listened to the radio before that. We were excited during the chart report too. And in the Seed Awards (a music award held by Seed radio and Seed TV), we were so excited. It surprised us very much that we won the Popular Artist Award. We hadn't been informed of that. We only thought that we would just perform in the award ceremony and congrats to other artists. But when our name was announced, I immediately rushed out of my seat like being afraid that I'd lose my reward if I didn't make it there in time. (Laughs) I counted down 10, 9, 8, 7... (Laughs) and rushed to the stage. I even forgot to put my jacket on. That was the first award for this album and we hadn't really expect that we would win.
^ This album release has shown your talents and your patience. From the ones who didn't have any stills, but tried hard and trained hard in both singing and dancing and now you're one of the artists with most fans in Thailand.
G: I have to admit that we were very tired before the debut. But after meeting loads of loving fans and getting a very good feedback, our tiredness was completely gone. It's like a reward for what we've been trying for years. And the Seed award is what you guys voted for us. It was all from the loves of each of our fans. I'm very glad that you notice our attempts and like our abilities.
^ I'm looking forward to your 2nd album.
G: The 2nd album might not come so soon but we're gonna release a special album first. As for those from other provinces that long for our shows, we do know about that and we are currently discuss over it. Please wait a bit 'cause maybe we'll surprise you.
^At last, I hope you'll be happy and will succeed in your education and work. And don't forget to read Death Note.
G: I read all issue of Death Note but I don't buy it myself 'cause mostly Mike is the one who buys comics and I'll grap them to read. (Laughs) And thank you very much for your best wishes. I hope you'll get good grades and have a healthy health. And hope you'll be a good daughter of your parents. And thanks again for your support. Kob Khun Krubbbbbb.....
