Pitchfork: Most people tend to focus on you, Yuki. Has it been positive or negative-- that weird, nerdy male music fan attention?
Yuki: Not so much. Maybe they're too shy to make themselves visible. I've had my fair share of weirdos. I think with any female musician, or female singer, front person, they're going to attract a certain amount of creepy guys. And most of them, they're harmless. They'll shyly come up to you and maybe say something weird. But that's the extent of it.
Pitchfork: What is the weirdest thing that you've heard from someone approaching the band?
Yuki: Someone talking to me about anime. That was weird. And I think I was surrounded by three of them at once, and they were all calling me Asobi. That definitely creeped me out.
Pitchfork: No one tries to go up to you and speak Japanese, do they?
Yuki: Sometimes it's someone who's like, "I'm learning how to speak Japanese, do you mind if I practice?" And I'm like, "Yeah, I mind." I'm not too fond of that, especially because I obviously speak English very well. I was born here. But I figure it comes with the territory.
