Akphaezya just released a new single and music video called Case 24-135 – an energetic and exciting track that caught my attention right away. I loved getting to know this unique concept band, where music and storytelling go hand in hand.

As part of our new series where artists explore imagined lives in parallel universes, Hakata Ooh steps into the unknown and answers a set of surreal scenario-based questions.

Check out the video for Case 24-135 before diving into her answers.

Parallel Universes with Hakata Ooh from Akphaezya

🧟 In a universe where a zombie apocalypse has taken over, would you hide, fight, or become a zombie?

Hakata Ooh: Hiding is too stressful.
Fighting is too energy-consuming.
So well… I guess the only option left is becoming a zombie! No more constraints, only advantages: free horrific make-up, no more haircut… the real freedom but in slow motion, I love that!

⏱️ In a universe where you can relive one moment in your life, which moment would you choose?

Hakata Ooh: My childhood between 4 and 9 years-old. Absolutely everything was possible… It’s still the case but with money constraints, knee pains and chronic fatigue 😀

🖍️ In a universe where you can only communicate through emojis, how would you describe your music?

Hakata Ooh: 😶 ⏯🎼🎸🎤🧐 🎵 🤔🎶🤓😮💣 💥🤐🌋🤩😈🎶🤘🤪🤘🔥🤘😬🤘🔥🤘🤠🤘🔥
🤯💥💀🤤⏸⏯🍺🎵 🎶😍🥰

😄 In a universe where money doesn’t exist and people pay by making others laugh, how rich would you be?

Hakata Ooh: I’ll be fucking rich (provided the people in that place have the same sense of humor as me…) !!! Where is this universe, please?? I hope there will be no taxes on good jokes…

🐈 In a universe where your pet can talk, what would it say to you?

Hakata Ooh: “hey… Wake up now, I need my kibbles… Put more kibble… More… MOOOOORE … Ok then, pet me… Tell me I’m the most beautiful cat you’ve ever seen in the world, no wait… tell me I’m your GOD …Enough ! Leave me alone ! No wait… I need to lick my ass and you must look at it” I think it’s quite realistic.

⏰ In a universe where a sitcom-style theme song plays when you wake up, what would your song be?

Hakata Ooh: Every morning I’ll wake up with “Whistle Stop” from Robin Hood in a bright sunny light.
Another beautiful day in my perfect house with my perfect family, life is soooo perfect… And now it’s time to play some FUCKING WEIRD MUSIC ahahahaha

🧂 In a universe where taste and hearing are linked, what food would your music taste like?

Hakata Ooh: Dark generous chocolate and hot spicy pepper !!!
(with a cup of Ginger tea)

⚪ In a universe where everyone sees in greyscale, what would be your favorite color?

Hakata Ooh: Hummmm It will be some grey between grey and grey… You know, that kind of grey that makes you think “Oh, I’ve never seen such a bright and dark grey at the same time”. The type of grey, not too grey but grey enough, that makes me feel grey again.

🌋 In a universe where you must take the One Ring to Mount Doom instead of Frodo, which bandmate would you bring along?

Hakata Ooh: I bring Zag Zero and Stef Begsman for sure. Not sure we will succeed but at least we’ll have a lot of fun !!!

🦸‍♀️ In a universe where humans can either teleport or read minds, which superpower would you choose?

Hakata Ooh: I choose teleportation cause Human thoughts are so disgusting most of the time, trust me I can read them…

⚰️ In a universe where you are a necromancer, which late musician would you summon for advice?

Hakata Ooh: As I’m a very powerful necromancer, I can summon several musicians: so I pick Verdi, Wagner for composition, Franck Zappa for creativity and Janis Joplin / Aretha Franklin for vocal coaching.

👑 In a universe where you are the head of state, what law would you create?

Hakata Ooh: 1rst law : From now on, there is no longer a leader, each person adult and responsible shall be autonomous in his decisions, shall stop relying on others to make his own decisions. Every one shall start being yourself… Good luck

🎷 In a universe where your instrument doesn’t exist, which new instrument would you master?

Hakata Ooh: I’d love to master the trumphigaufirusta (sorry, I can’t tell you more about this instrument as it doesn’t exist in our universe… But I’m sure you’d love it)

📜 In a universe where time travel is possible, which historical era would you visit most?

Hakata Ooh: Late XVIII and early XIX centuries for the richness of artistic, philosophical and industrial creations. But also to warn them of the ecological dangers of their discoveries and new models of society.

🌩️ In a universe where music controls the weather, what kind of weather would your music create?

Hakata Ooh: Unpredictable and very unstable weather… Sorry meteorologists, you’ve just lost your jobs.
