Actually Trent was singing in Tape Worm project, but we want to finish it which as listener never confuse it with NIN. We have about 4 songs with Phil Anthermo of Pantera and Maynard of Tool. There's such original identity different with NIN, it's very important thing. We want to releasing it till the end of this year." <P> <I>"What's an identity of NIN or Tapeworm?"</I><P> <B>Charlie:</B>"NIN is connected closely with Trent's own impression. NIN just came from his heart, we didn't write any lyrics. But in Tape Worm project, there's a song which Maynard wrote some lyrics then Trent and us finished the lyrics. You can understanding from this example, Tapeworm is fairly different with NIN."<BR> <B>Danny:</B>"Trent was understanding well that if he write all of the lyrics, all of theme and lyrics will be similar to NIN. So he deliberately working with other people."<BR> <B>Charlie:</B>"I think Trent was spending the most hard time to break with his own style." </BLOCKQUOTE></FONT> Commy was a bit upset with the Japanese interviews, as she says, "'It's just like a cross-examination...it's not 'a conversation'."<P> <FONT SIZE=2><BLOCKQUOTE> In Crossbeat magazine's reader's poll, TF ranked as "album of the year". Also Trent ranked number two of "the best song writer", number three of "the best male vocalist". In both category, Beck ranked number one. So interviewer ask about Beck to Trent.<P> <I>"For example, Beck change all of his pressure into his pleasure or excitement. What do you think about his stance and Beck's music?"</I><P> <B>Trent:</B>"Beck, yeah, he's very smart. I don't know about Beck's music well... I feel a nimble humor in Beck's, it don't attract my mind and I'm not interested to it so much. I don't have any interesting in something joking and funny, or thought of 'don't worry, take it easy'...which Will Smith seems to say. I don't compare Beck with such thing, but in his music, there's something an ironical thing which I don't want to pay my attention.<BR> In the recent music scene, there's so much thing which I don't want to pay my attention, Beck is one of them. To tell the truth, I don't like his style (and he changed his expression strictly). In the rock'n'roll world, there's too much laughing people. I dislike gag and humor, so I don't go to see a comedy movie...I never want to laughing because everything of the world going to ruin.<BR> A dark and serious side of the world whets my interest more." </BLOCKQUOTE></FONT> Commy notes, these aren't the exact words of the band, but it's the same meaning.

The interview was conducted January 11th, at the Tokyo Bay NK Hall. The interview was limited to fifteen minutes per request of TR's people, and the VJ (Daisuke Ide), while fluent in English and Japanese, wasn't too familiar with NIN, but an exhausted Trent made the most out of the interview.<P> Trent expressed his enthusiasm to come to Japan, and that he was "excited and surprised" by the favorable reaction of the Japanese fans. TR & the gang spent the day shopping around in Akihabara, a famous spot for electronics/computer shops), <A HREF=http://www.theninhotline.net/halo99/04/leo/lh/021.htm target="new_window">which is where Leo was during this shot</A>. Japanese sense of civilization and respect also impressed TR. Terrie writes, "In Japan we have vending machines on every corner selling everything from beer and condoms to rice and batteries. Trent said that there would be 'no way that could happen in America because the first day they'd be knocked down and everything stolen.'" <P> When asked about his preference, Trent took more of a liking to working in the studio than performing live. In Terrie's words; <BLOCKQUOTE><FONT SIZE=2> He said he won't do a remix of The Fragile but that he might do something like a "rethinking" of the album with some of the left out pieces put in. Or his second idea for the use of the extra songs would be to start another band with someone else as a singer. He wants someone soulful, "not a clone of me", that can put their own "input, interpretation, attitude" into the music. Someone like "a Sade personality". He is currently listening to tapes. </BLOCKQUOTE></FONT> Regarding collaborations and soundtracks, TR mentioned something in the works with Dr. Dre, and if someone serious approached him about scoring a soundtrack, he said he'd put the band on hold if someone serious (examples given: Clive Barker, David Cronenberg) gave him a call and asked him to do a soundtrack. He also expressed interest in screenwriting and directing, and the orchestration of movies in general. Nearing the end of the interview, Daisuke asked Trent to send a message to his Japanese fans. <BLOCKQUOTE><FONT SIZE=2> He told the camera it was flattering to come here and that he really felt appreciated. That the night before during the show he felt cheesy and wanted to say 'thank you!' (I saw that show and yes he was dangerously close to the T word). He said it means a lot to come this far away from his bedroom with his notebooks and to feel this much appreciation. He even said this was his favorite place so far! <P> And right before those fifteen minutes were up Daisuke Ide asked, "So do you think your gonna come back?" and Trent answered with a big smile, "I'm gonna move here!".<P> The entire interview was spliced with music and clips of The Fragile tour. [<I>note: these were scenes from the Fragility 1.0 special aired in the States a few months back</I>] Half way through, "Wish" was shown in its entirety. After the interview ended the VJ came on and said how he knows everyone wanted to see more of the live show and that while it was strictly prohibited to film anything at the Japanese shows that there was a concert taped in Europe that would be aired on Vibe in March. </FONT></BLOCKQUOTE> Commy notes that VIBE is a music station broadcast by satellite, and was at one time "MTV Japan." At the start of 1999, MTV's broadcast liscence was up, and the channel took on the name VIBE, and broadcast their own programs.<P> Many thanks to Commy and Terrie for their in depth reports! </td> </tr> </table><TABLE WIDTH=80%><TR><TD WIDTH=100% ALIGN=RIGHT><FONT SIZE=1>Updated by <a href="mailto:leviathant@theninhotline.net">leviathant@theninhotline.net</a></FONT></TD></TR></TABLE> <TABLE BORDER=0 CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0><TR><TD BACKGROUND="http://www.theninhotline.net/news/b-06.gif" WIDTH=600 height=25><font color="white" face="The Fragile, Arial" size="2, +3">2.14.00</font></td></tr></table> <!--null--> <TABLE > <TR><TD bgcolor="#0D2961" WIDTH=600> <font color="white" face="Arial"><b>Another NIN Sighting</b>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<font size="2">[09:44 EST]</td></tr> <tr> <TD WIDTH=600> <a href="mailto:gregkeller2000@hotmail.com">Greg Keller</a> caught this little bit:<font size=2> <blockquote> ... when the Rams won the Super Bowl there were a ton of mini highlight shows.
