CHOUSHINJUKU (MC MAMMOTH, DJ EAGLE, SUSHI TARO) - Translated by Hajime (The Spunks)



KR: Introduce yourself please
CH: I'm Mammoth. I'm good at fermenting soy beans.
        I'm Sushi Taro. My Japanese name is Cobra.
        My name is Shinjuku Ikuru. My father is dog, Siberia Husky. My mother is Chihuahua.

KR: How did each of you get your name?
CH: Just feeling. We all look like these animals.

KR: What do you think of Japunks?
CH: This is our second time (first Japunks they played was in Tokyo). It's better than the first time. First time it was in Russia. It was very cold and we got diarrhea. So we are really happy this time. We are dreaming. We are dreamer.

KR: What do you think of the audience?
CH: Many many Gaijin (Americans). More than expected. We didn't know they are Gaijin until we came close, about six feet. Very shocked. We eat cheeseburger every day at the deli.

KR: Are you always funny?
CH: No. The people in Japan didn't like us. Only small part of Tokyo.

KR: How's the US show different than Japan?
CH: This is our America debut as a three-man show (the group consists of 5 people). Tempura Brothers!
