Night Hawks: Exclusive Interview

In a recent exclusive interview, Night Hawks opened up about their journey, the evolution of their music, and their latest release, Anmoku no Hibi. The conversation was filled with laughter, insights, and deep reflections on what it means to be a rock band in today’s music landscape.

From the Past to the Present: The Ever-Changing Night Hawks

Reflecting on their history, the band members shared that their motivation and energy have shifted over the years. “Everything—from our mindset to our sound—has evolved. Even when we perform older songs, they feel different because we’re different,” they explained. The chemistry within the band has also grown, especially with the addition of new members, which has led to a fresh dynamic and renewed excitement.

A Rock Band That Refuses to Be Boxed In

When asked about the essence of rock music, the band had a unique perspective. “Rock isn’t just a genre; it’s a feeling. It’s about that gut punch—when a song just hits you,” they said. The members agreed that rock, like all music, is timeless and continues to evolve. “It’s not about progression in the technical sense; it’s about expanding the variety of sounds and expressions within the genre.”

The Making of Anmoku no Hibi

Discussing their latest track, Anmoku no Hibi, the band revealed that the inspiration for the song dates back decades. “I don’t even remember what sparked it at the time,” one member joked, “but when I heard an old recording of it, it all came rushing back—I knew we had to bring this song to life with our current lineup.”

With its powerful instrumentation and emotional depth, Anmoku no Hibi represents both the past and present of Night Hawks. “This track is exactly what I always wanted to do—it brings together hard rock energy with the melodic storytelling I love,” they explained.

Dream Collaborations and Future Plans

When asked which artists they would love to collaborate with, they struggled to choose just a few. “There are too many to name,” they laughed, but Jeff Beck, Chris Squire, and Cozy Powell were among their top picks, all admired for their unique, irreplaceable artistry.

As for future performances, the band didn’t hesitate when envisioning their dream venue. “Madison Square Garden. A full-scale, high-energy rock show—that’s what we’d want.”

A Message to Fans

The interview wrapped up with a simple but passionate message to their fans: “Just listen. Feel it. If it hits you, that’s all that matters.”
