Let's take a dimensional shift and get to know the members of Midicronica better. First off, who came up with the idea for the group?

I forget. But it started like an amusement rather than a mission. It is still our pleasure.

 

How many current members of Midicronica are there?

Midicronica consists of four members (716, 894, 181, 563) mainly. We also have tons of support members.

 

Who came up with the name and what does it mean?

894 named it. Midicronica is a coined word. I think it sounds nice and that is the only reason. It has no meaning.

 

Who writes the music and lyrics to most of your songs?

We write our lyrics for ourselves and every member can create beats. No rapper raps other person's lyrics! There is no ghostwriter in our team.

 

Can you describe what your writing and recording process is like?

In most cases we decide on a topic and title of the piece first. The lyrics are basically written at that time. Anyway, our recording is always fun.

 

Can you tell us about some of the other musicians you've worked with?

Jacky Otaka (Super Stupid), SONOMI, ALPHA, TAKATSUKI, Smooth Current, shin-ski, asayake production, Delmonte, Masaru Iwabuchi, lamelomania, Goro Kumai, GUMUNA... etc.

 

Aside from being in Midicronica what other activities do you all do?

716: The rap unit ASTRO.

894: ASTRO, Jugem a.k.a JUG (another rap unit), Ocha production (sound production team), Unagi works (graphic design team)... etc. I got hundreds of other activities.

181: Ngoma (Dub-Breakbeat band including Japanese drums), Padtricks (sound production project).

563: Ngoma , foundfootage (sound production project).
