What scares the members of rock band Jyocho most isn’t anything traditionally frightening, but rather the thought of losing what makes them special.
“There was a time when I was playing the flute, and suddenly my skills regressed,” says Yuuki Hayashi, the quartet’s flutist. “I thought, what if I can’t play anymore? What if I lose music from my life? That fear has stuck with me to this day.”
“For me, I fear aging and losing that spark you have as a child, like you end up putting a limit to your emotions,” chimes in the group’s primary songwriter and guitarist Daijiro Nakagawa. “Just turning into a colder person.”
