Suosikki magazine (Finland) translation. I got this from Myspace Cinema Bizarre Sweden.
Many many thanks to norppalapsi on Livejournal for the scans and translation from Suosikki magazine in Finland... and thanks to English Cinema Bizarre who gave us premission to take it from their blog.
The German hit filled Nosturi in Helsinki with a crowd on a beautiful fall night. The vocalist Strify's charisma hit the back wall of the place and the songs turned into a choir filled with emotion.
YEAAH! CINEMA BIZARRE!
Suosikki let a bunch of fans loose with Cinema Bizarre just before their gig in Helsinki, followed by a lot of screaming, ripped clothing and tears of happiness.
Cinema bizarre performed in Helsinki on September 18th. The band has quickly collected a loyal group of supporters in Finland and you could hear and see hundreds of screaming fans on the gig.
Suosikki's winners had a chance to meet the band before the gig. Of course, there was a lot of chatting, taking pictures and shooting questions. The interview can be seen in Suosikki.tv!
Three of the fans told us about the meeting with a smile on their faces.
"The whole meeting was an unbelievably great thing. Of course the gig after it was good too, but I'll remember the chatting for a long time," Iida Kervinen hypes and laughs:
"It was wonderful to notice that they are nice and normal people. Plus they smiled a lot. I talked mostly with the bassist Kiro. He was interested in where we came from, and we tried our best to explain where Janakkala is!"
Emmi-Riikka Rantamo arrived to Nosturi from Kotka.
"I was left with a great feeling. The only bad thing about the meeting was that it was too short. It would have been awesome to talk to them a little bit longer."
Emmi-Riikka got to be in front of the camera too, asking Cinema Bizarre some smart questions.
"I asked them what they liked about Finland and what they had seen. It was a surprise to hear that they liked the sauna. They're also Moomin fans."
Mari Örnberg from Helsinki was also in Suosikki.tv.
"I got to ask their opinions about each other. The most memorable moment was when Luminor said that Kiro was annoying. I was surprised by the fact that Shin is never quiet. They said he talks all the time and you have to slap him to shut him up," Maria says.

(The mag messed up about Lumi, because Maria told them that was SO not what she actually said, and joked about a psychic connection with Lumi)
