WEEBFACE Shows Us The Way To An Authentic Weeb Experience

DANIAL ISWADI: Hello WEEBFACE! Thank you for your time to answer the questions. How is it going? I really hope you are doing okay especially with this new variant that has been affecting all of us. Tell us more about yourself.

WEEBFACE: Hello, I am WEEBFACE and I make anime/weeb influenced drill music.

DANIAL ISWADI: You have been writing and composing your own rap songs and on top of that some of the lyrics are written in foreign language which is Japanese. Can you tell us how are you able to do that? 

WEEBFACE: In the beginning I started writing raps as a coping method to the difficult circumstances I was in, it made me feel good to be able to write my emotions on a piece of paper, I was able to learn more about myself as I found ways to portray my message in a clearer way so that other people that listened would understand, this had a ricochet effect because I reflected on my own lyrics and learnt from them. I decided to add Japanese language to my songs not because I speak, it was simply because you can’t have a real weeb song without Japanese words, so I came to a conclusion that I should add some Japanese words to my raps for an authentic weeb experience. Some of the words used are often heard in anime, so it wasn’t hard to add them to the lyrics.

DANIAL ISWADI: Do you speak Japanese fluently? 

WEEBFACE : I don’t speak it fluently, my Japanese level is low intermediate, I have been self learning for a few years, so I can start basic conversations in Japanese. Nothing too special but enough to talk to Japanese people without fear.

DANIAL ISWADI: What makes you want to add those Japanese words in your rap songs? 

WEEBFACE: Sometimes I add the Japanese words to my raps for comic relief. I know people will laugh when they hear it; I’m an entertainer, so I would like people to have a joyous time when listening to my raps. I don’t personally check grammar or pronunciation, since most weebs don’t, I wanted my music to be as close to weeb songs as possible.
