There are lots of summer festivals now. How did you end up deciding to do Summer Sonic?

Chris Chu: We're actually not touring at all, really — we're recording another album, so that's where we're focused. But we've been wanting to play in Japan for a really long time and were supposed to come in March, and that got canceled. We'd been trying over and over and this was finally an opportunity to do it. I'm going to stay here for a little while, just (on) vacation. I'm here for a little over a month, so I have a lot of time.

Did the Japanese audiences live up to your expectations?
