Interview with Zane Feat. Nara The Best (Preview)
Nara: So Zane, you like video games!
Zane: I do! Very much so.
Nara: I love video games very much! Many of your special moves are named after video games?
Zane: Yeah, some are, like, you know, the Celestial Rings, that comes from Luna Dynasty, which is just...[flips back ears] one of my all-time favorites, I mean...I LOVE that game. Probably too much. Like if you gave me a button and said that pushing it would instantly let me live inside that game world forever, I'd...I'd think about it a lot.
Nara: Luna Dynasty was very good! I really liked the music!
Zane: Yeah, no, I like...if I ever get married, we're walking the aisle to the Sun Temple music. I want it like...played at my funeral.
Nara: Who was your favorite character?
Zane: Mmm, prooooooobably...Kota? I think I related to him the most, cute little orphan boy, just trying to be everyone's friend...I was always like...a sucker for that tragic-childhood thing, especially when they grow up to be a villain but like...you know it's not all their fault? That always gets me.
Nara: Kota was very nice! I liked Gogochu!
Zane: Oh, haha...oh my gosh, he was really funny, yeah.
Nara: And the Horizon Star was named after the animation, yes?
Zane: Yes, that's like...the cartoon equivalent of LD for me. And that's what like...helped get me into astronomy and...stars, and stuff like that.
Nara: You have many stars about you! You see, I painted stars on my face in honor of Zane!
Zane: I saw! I appreciate that. It's not a very original, you know...motif, but you know, they're...shiny and...glittery, and that's you know, that's my bread and butter.
Nara: Stars are all over your shirt, too! [Gestures toward own clothing]
Zane: Yeah, that's the classic. Still my best seller. [Laughs] I owe that shirt, um...I owe it a lot, even with the cut, it's made me stupid-lots in merch.
Nara: I am not kidding, it is one of my favorites! I love the colors. Zane is all about color!
Zane: What was it that G.B. called me, the..."Wrestling Rainbow."
Nara: It is true! Zane, are RPG games your favorite?
Zane: Um, I'd definitely say they're one of my favorites, yeah. I love the kind of stories they tell, you know, the style of gameplay makes it possible to tell stories in between the fights, or even during the fights. I'm like...I'm kind of a sucker for when you get like, exposition and backstory while fighting a villain, like he monologues in between moves, and that's perfect for like. turn-based RPG's.
Nara: What other kinds of games do you like?
Zane: [Looking skyward] Ummmmmmmmmmm I mean, I'm not sure there's a genre of video game I don't like at least one title from. I think people see my...persona and assume it's just like...RPG's and like...you know, games in that vein but I like everything, you know? I, um... like racing games, I like...I mean I even like some first-person shooters, maybe not as much as everyone else, but those are cool too...puzzle games, I play a lot of those...um, a lot of people don't always realize that I like fighting games a lot.
Nara: I love fighting games! I am very, very good at Bōryoku no Utsukushi-sa, you may know it as Brutal Art!
Zane: Oh yeah! You actually played that in a professional tournament, right?
Nara: Yes! I was semi-finalist!
Zane: That's so cool, I love Brutal Art, we should...we should totally play together some time!
Nara: [nods cautiously] Yes, yes, we will play...[smiles] I will probably win!
Zane: Haha...that's okay.
Something I've been working on despite all evidence that there is no audience for it.
Zane: I do! Very much so.
