00:00 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:08 I am so excited to speak with y'all.
00:12 Thank you so much for taking the time.
00:14 One of the things that I love the most
00:15 is it's clear that you're representing
00:17 the Japanese youth.
00:18 So I want to know what that means to each of you
00:20 individually.
00:22 [SPEAKING JAPANESE]
00:34 Thinking about reflecting on y'all's friendship
00:38 and collaboration together, what are some things
00:40 that you think each of you represent
00:42 that allow the Japanese youth to see themselves just
00:45 a little bit clearer?
00:46 [SPEAKING JAPANESE]
00:58 [SPEAKING JAPANESE]
01:03 [SPEAKING JAPANESE]
01:27 I need to do a little bit of that myself.
01:29 [LAUGHTER]
01:32 [SPEAKING JAPANESE]
02:00 I have a strong neck.
02:04 [SPEAKING JAPANESE]
02:08 I love that.
02:09 When I saw that, I said, exactly.
02:11 [CHEERING]
02:13 Like, exactly.
02:16 [SPEAKING JAPANESE]
02:19 [SPEAKING JAPANESE]
02:37 So I want to get into a little bit of the music.
02:39 I just saw you recently created a song for Ghostbusters.
02:43 Ghostbusters.
02:44 Which is iconic.
02:45 So what was it like for you all to take such an iconic movie
02:50 and get inspired to create music for it?
02:52 [SPEAKING JAPANESE]
03:22 Speaking of performance, how has your performance on stage
03:26 evolved throughout the years?
03:27 [SPEAKING JAPANESE]
03:56 One of my favorite performances of y'all's
03:57 is the one take of "Otona Blue."
04:02 And what I loved the most, it felt
04:04 like I could see each of your individual personalities.
04:07 And obviously, when you perform, you're
04:09 performing in a traditional uniform.
04:12 I saw you guys went thrift shopping in New York.
04:16 And so I want to know about how your personal style is
04:19 outside of the traditional uniform
04:21 and how you incorporate that into your performance as well.
04:24 [SPEAKING JAPANESE]
04:27 I like rock style.
04:31 [SPEAKING JAPANESE]
04:58 I'm connected.
04:59 Oh, really?
05:01 Mm-hmm.
05:03 So I would love to know who you all
05:05 listen to that inspires you.
05:07 [SPEAKING JAPANESE]
05:12 I love Beyonce.
05:15 Don't we all?
05:16 Don't we all?
05:16 [SPEAKING JAPANESE]
05:19 [SPEAKING JAPANESE]
05:44 Cute.
05:46 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
05:47 [SPEAKING JAPANESE]
05:49 [SPEAKING JAPANESE]
05:51 [SPEAKING JAPANESE]
06:20 [SPEAKING JAPANESE]
06:47 I saw that American rapper Megan Thee Stallion hung out
06:50 with y'all when she visited Japan
06:52 and you did the Tokyo Calling, which I loved.
06:55 But I want to know about who are some of your dream
06:58 collaborators.
07:00 [SPEAKING JAPANESE]
07:14 So I'm just going to say it now.
07:16 We need that as a unit of people.
07:19 We need that collaboration.
07:21 So Lil Uzi Vert, if you're hearing this--
07:23 OK, you heard the call.
07:27 Well, thank you so much.
07:29 It was so great to speak with you.
07:31 Thank you so much.
