Q: what would be day6's way of walking together for 10 years?
🐻 "just doing our very best in what each of us was assigned? since our positions are all a bit different, so just each of us giving our best in that area, i think?"
🦊 "and i've thought about this too, and i think there's also about wanting to do day6."
🐻 "right. the heart we have for day6. things like that, definitely."
🦊 "even if our directions or the visions we draw are different, the fact that we still had the desire to keep doing this band, keep doing day6, that heart has always been there. and because of that, we had consideration for each other, and when problems arose, we would find ways to overcome them together. i think that's how we've been able to keep going until now."
🐻 "starting in late 2017, honestly things were really tough. even being on stage itself started to feel like hell. there were so many ups and downs and the atmosphere within the team gradually started to get worse. but it was a time when we were all sensitive and extremely busy, so we didn't really talk much. and in a way, i think that made things deeper. it wasn't so much that we grew distant, but rather that we were trying to be more considerate of each other. because of that, there were even more things we couldn't talk about. it was like when someone was struggling, we didn't really know how to give comfort to each other. that's kind of what it was like."
🦊: In the early days, especially before the name”myday” existed, it was different from now. It was very different. I knew almost everyone’s face, even tho I am not good at remembering names, I knew a lot of them. i think it was because of these people that I was able to think..
“WE CAN KEEP GOING ON STAGE”
🥺🥺🥺
우리는 지금 한국에서 가장 인기 있는 밴드 데이식스를 마주하고 있다. 깊이 있지만 난해하지 않고, 쾌활하되 치열한 노력을 잊지 않고 다짐하는 그들의 음악은 오래도록 한국 대중음악 신에서 잊고 있었던 단순함의 미학과 모두에게 닿을 수 있는 범용성의 필요를 일깨웠다. https://t.co/fKnAj839O1
