Trax are disappointed with not being able to perform live

“As long as a band can play live...”
A music program recently held a ‘band special’ episode with bands such as Galaxy Express and Trax. Unfortunately, while Galaxy Express was given the opportunity to present a 100% live stage only through a pre-recording, Trax was forced to merely handsync for their performance.
Jungmo expressed his disappointment, stating, “I told the PD that we can play live too. The only reply we heard was that he knows. We know that a lot of broadcast staff members support and try to help us, but we’ve realized that there’s a limit to everything.”
Vocal Jay agreed, stating, “What we want isn’t things like ranking first on music charts or earning popularity. We just want to be able to present our true selves on a proper stage.” Although Jay is able to sing live, he feels the frustration of his bandmates that aren’t able to.
He went on to confidently reveal, “If bands were able to play live on air, dance singers will never be able to win over us. You can tell just by looking at high school music festivals. Both the dance team and school band may be amateurs but the reaction that the school band earns wins over the dance team by far. The energy that a band gives off is greater than what a dance performance can show.”

Another obstacle also stands in the way of Trax, and that’s the assumption that they’re just another group of ‘guitar playing idols’ manufactured by a larger agency.
Jungmo laughed while answering, “It’s the truth. There are both good and bad points to it but there’s no reason for us to be too held up in it. We realize that true importance lies elsewhere, and I’m sure it’s the same for all of the other bands in the world as well. What’s important is performing music that expresses our own unique color.”
When asked about the meaning of their group in the mainstream market, the two members showed a strong sense of determination regarding their future. They concluded, “We’re going to work hard on our handsync, we’re going to appear on variety programs if they request us, and we’re going to continue making songs. We’re also going to continue requesting music programs to let us perform live. Let’s go till the end and see who wins.”
