| Philip:
Seeing as I run a Game Boy website. Our readership would like to know if
you own a Game Boy and if so... what games?
Marion: I
never got my own Game Boy, even though I wanted one really bad. My uncle
had one and everytime I visited him and my cousin I borrowed his Game Boy
for weeks! My favorite game is Super Mario 3. I've never played the Pokémon
game, but I really want to though. I saw this really cool Game Boy in a
shop. It was transparent and purple - my favorite color.
Marit: I used
to be a huge game boy fan, and I got my first one when I was nine. I'm
not as into the game boy as I used to be anymore, but every now and then
I take it out for a great game of Tetris...hehe.
Philip: What
did you think of when you were approached to do the lead single off of
the Pokémon Movie?
Marit: First
of all I found it very flattering. I mean, all these great artists are
on it and OUR SONG was chosen to be the first single. I find it very cool.
Marion: I
thought it was really cool. Pokemon is soooo big in the US and Japan. I
also think it is going to be really big in the rest of the world soon.
It's a great soundtrack with a lot of great artist on it. So it's really
cool for M2M to get the first single. Pokémon helps us to let even
more people hear our music and that's our big goal. Thank you Pokémon!
Philip: What
is your favorite Pokémon?
Marion: I
like a lot of them. Pikachu is really cute and so is Rattata (he's purple!
haha).
Marit: Wigglytuff
is very cute.
Philip: In
your own words, why should the public want to buy your up-coming CD?
Marit: My
biggest wish is for people to identify with the lyrics and realize
that we're something
different from everybody else. We write all our songs,
we play instruments
and we sing... it's real.
Marion: Since
we wrote almost all of the songs on "Shades Of Purple," the
record is very personal
and totally M2M. I really like it and I hope people can identify with our
lyrics. The songs are real "poppy," but it's up to people if they like
our record or not at the end of the day.
Philip: What
is your take on Media and Violence in the media?
M2M: Hard
question. What really scares us about media is the fact that
whenever things
get printed in the newspapers or shown on TV, the information is automatically
accessible to everyone. A kid watches a movie on TV and there's suddenly
a news break where they show real pictures of awful happenings. But we
have to add that media is a great tool to get your music heard, so it's
definitely a positive thing too.
Philip: What
are your "inspirations" in Music?
Marion: My
inspirations are many things. A lyric can be inspired by
anything; a boy,
a friend, a cat... anything. I also get inspiration from
people like Madonna
and Cher. They have been singing and making music for so
long and they never
give up. I want to be like that.
Marit: I get
inspired by people who dare to share something of themselves with their
listeners. I love almost everything with guitars in it, so I'm naturally
a huge fan of Eric Clapton. Other than him, I really like Sixpence None
the Richer, Robyn, Hanson and Bic Runga. Those are my favorites.
Philip: What
closing advice would you give budding artists?
Marit: Don't
be afraid to be different, 'cause we all are anyway.
Marion: Keep
going, never give up. Be yourself and live up to your dream.
