---So, it's been more than a year and a half since the release of the previous work. What was this span of time like for you?
Mana: It has been a year and a half.
---Were you conscious of the span of time that passed?
Mana: Not particularly. In the past year and a half, there were live shows and the Europe Tour. We went to Europe after releasing Pageant, and the final show of the tour took place once we were back in Tokyo. Then we released the Europe Tour DVD. So, I didn't feel like it's been that long. But then when you think about it, it's true that it's been a while between the releases of the albums.
---So, Beyond the Gate is the highly anticipated new album. How do you feel about the album?
Mana: I explored with new methods. The album is experimental. At the same time, it has a lot of symphonic classical parts, which are something I'm most competent at. This album is an integration of these elements.
---Was there any underlying idea when you worked on the concept of each song?
Mana: Initially, the idea was to compose something totally different from the previous releases. For one thing, the vocalist was to change. So, I wanted to do things that I had never done before. In the beginning, I even worked on ideas for digital sounds. On the other hand, when I actually began writing the songs, it became just as important for me to follow my own spontaneous feelings, since it really was a new beginning for me. So, in that sense, the idea had changed somewhat compared to what it was initially. I'd say that the album is a mixture of the initial concepts and my own spontaneous feelings.
---Please tell me about the concept and the theme of the artwork, including the photo.
Mana: (Looking at the CD) The photo. Well, I'm not able to talk in depth about the concept or the theme. There is a connection between the title "Beyond the Gate" and the artwork, though. The gate is basically a doorway that would serve as an entrance, and I wanted the artwork to convey that sense.
