bmsgNikkei had a BMSG special issue released in print last year that is slowly being released online as a series.
Nikkei x BMSG series: Revolutionaries changing Japan through entertainment (BMSG エンタメで日本を変える革命児たち)
The first installment of the series talked about BMSG FES '24. The second provides an overview of the history of BMSG.
Summary of the third installment is translated here!
The fourth installment is a special talk between solo artist Novel Core, Junon from BE:FIRST, solo artist edhiii boi, and BMSG Trainee Rui. (Original interview here)
Summary of what they talked about below!
😈: 🐢 and I like the same ramen shop lol
🐢: No you don't www. Core told me that he was close to the ramen shop I like once. He sent me a pic of the shop when he was outside, telling me "I'm here!" but he actually went to have hamburgers, lol.
🦀: The worsttttt!!
🐢: He did it twice 😠
😈: No guys, I check out the restuarant all the time, and there's always a long line. I really want to eat so I can't wait in line. So I take a picture of the place and send it tell you I was there! LOL
🐢: But then that's just a report of you didn't go lol
😈: So I go to Bikkuri Donkey www
🐢: If he actually goes to the ramen shop I might actually cry the most I've ever cried
😈: Wdym? Then I'll go then wwww
🐢: You definitely won't lmaoo
😈: Lolololololol. Rui's really been into art and rock music, he's been posting about them on Instagram lately. Sometimes I'll respond and send him stuff, like "this song is good" or I'll recommend a movie.
⚡: I really appreciate it. I've been with 🐢 since THE FIRST but we don't get along well actually (note: this is for all legal purposes, a lie)
😈: 🐢 gave you a hug and spun you around during DUNK at BMSG FES '24 right? That was cute~
🐢: It's because Rui was cute
🦀: So nice~
🐢: I felt like crushing him wwww
😈: Bad impression! www
🐢: I think many find it difficult to have a conversation with ⚡ www Maybe 🐼 's the only one.
⚡: But 🦀 and I talk normally, maybe.
🐢: "Maybe" talk normally? LOL
🦀: We often talk while we game
⚡: That's right. eddy and I are different types of crazy, but we can talk when we're together. 🦀 is humanly crazy, but I am naturally crazy.
🐢: I don't get it wwww
😈: It won't be conveyed to readers you know? LMAO
⚡: Japanese is difficult! I grew up in America so I can't 😩 (this is also, a lie).
⚡: I often talk to 😈 about various things. He's a reliable senpai
😈: Aww, thanks!
⚡: Well Core-kun is alive right? When you receive life force from life experiences, you see all kinds of visions.
😈: I'm glad I'm alive lol!
🐢: It sounds to me like we're not alive though LMAO
⚡: I think if I had a chat with 🐢 seriously, he'd answer me but we're not that close
🐢: [You're giving me] a bad impression~ LOL
🦀: You'll make J's impression on people worsen! 😂
⚡: Everyone at BMSG are really good people, no matter who you find for advice I think it'll be resolved, I think that's great.
🐢: wdym? So I'm the bad guy? 😂
⚡: Everyone is a good person 😂
🦀: I probably don't ask 🐢 for advice. When we talk about music and private matters, "Let's make a song like this together" comes up a lot.
🐢: It's not like I only talk to 🦀 , there are a lot of good people at BMSG
😈: [I think] you're sampling the worst parts 😂
🦀: The other day I spent the night at 🐢 's house
🐢: Yeah, after the rehearsal for BMSG FES '24 you came.
🦀: And we were going, "Should we make a song?"
😈: Doesn't eddy stay at various people's houses? You also stayed at shota's house
🐢: eddy doesn't like being alone, during BMSG FES everyone stayed in hotels, but [eddy] stayed at my place the first day, then he stayed in Ryuhei's room on day 2, and day 3 he came back to stay with me lmao. You didn't stay in your room at all in the end 😂
😈: The hotel was booked for us, we don't need to book eddy's room in the future! LOL
🐢: And he left my room after me, he gave his keys to his manager 😂
🦀: I wanted to sleep more 😂 😂 😂 😂 I love Junon-kun the most in this world, I wonder why? Maybe because of his personality 🤔
🐢: Oooohhhh~!!!
🦀: Personality, speaking style, visuals... 🤔
🐢: Isn't visuals unnecessary? 😂
🦀: If I was a woman I'd fall in love with you 💖
🐢: I think it's going to be hard to be together lmao
😈: True www
With Team Gaia and Glitch, Core knew the focus would be on the rap given the number of members in Gaia that rap, but he wanted to create a moment in the song where the mood changes. When working on the song, Chaki Zulu suggested a part in the song where there's only piano.
In Core's head, J was the person who could sing among a group of rappers and hold his own, so he gave this part to Junon. Junon thought and talked a lot with Core when he wanted to change a part of the lyrics.
(During one of their discussions / brainstorming, Rui went in and joined them www)
Core did the demo for Glitch so 🐢 thought, "Hey isn't this good already?" because core can rap and sing.
(Core: I really should go to that ramen place!)
Core thinks eddy's control of his tension (emotions?) during lives has improved. Given eddy's rap style, he knows it must be difficult to control the tension but he thinks eddy has found a good balance, and he's seen eddy being aware of that when he performs at lives and writing songs so he's getting good 👍
🦀 talks to Core a lot too. Because when eddy goes to see core's live there are things from core's lives he wants to try too. He thinks it's thanks to Core that he has grown a lot.
Junon finds eddy artistic and self aware - he understands how to show himself off very well; what kind of song he wants to do; and going in a direction he wants / has set for himself.
🐢: Meanwhile Rui is kind of growing in all directions 😂
⚡: 😄
🐢: I thought he'd calm down a little now that he's in high school but his weirdness comes out sometimes 😂
⚡: Well, it's really if you see it as weird or not right
🐢: True www So, "interesting / funny" then!
⚡: It depends on the person right? Like, what does this mean or what do I want to convey, so please look at it as colourful as flowers blooming on the ground 😊
- Core cried with Rui when TLP was announced at BMSG FES '24. He's sure Rui will go through a lot of self-reflection as TLP starts so he hopes he can see a cultivation of everything Rui has worked on and battled with and it's shown in the best form in TLP
- eddy goes to the BMS Gym often so he knows RuiTaiNon often use the studio practice a lot. He thinks RuiRui has grown a lot since their activities together for "Anytime, Anywhere". He finds the three of them very cool and determined as they make a start towards their goal.
🐢: Although Rui has grown up, I don't really want who he is as a person to change. Like [looks at RuiRui]
⚡[looks back]
🐢: wwww
😈: Scary~
🦀: His eyes are fixed on him www
⚡: ahahah~ 😆
🐢: You start feeling happy looking at Rui for some reason hahah.
😈: Because he's just as is you know.
🐢: Yeah, when I see him I want to think, "Rui seems happy" or "Rui's good"
😈: Rui Tolerance is a problem~
🐢: I think Taiki and Kanon have that tolerance, they're with him a lot more.
⚡: Oh true
🐢: Especially Taiki.
⚡: He does a good job right? 😄
(after this question, ⚡ suggested they say their answer together)
😈: Don't like being lonely
🐢: Weird
🦀: Crazy
⚡: Crazy
😈: Oohh, I do think there are a lot of people in BMSG that don't like being alone.
🐢,⚡: True
🦀: Really?
😈: Not you going, "really"! 😂
⚡: Eddy's the one that's #1 right?
😈: "Lonely" comes up a lot in your lyrics too!
🦀: wwwww
😈: With BE:FIRST and MAZZEL they're always together so they can happily do activities together. With solo artists, I see how the energy amplifies during cross-border collaborations like BMSG POSSE and BMSG FES, it feels like 23 members with inherently clingy personalities have gathered. To put it bluntly, there are a lot of attention-seekers 🤣
🦀: That's true 😂
😈: There were some that answered "crazy" right, I think that goes to...
⚡: Me
🐢: So you know! www
🦀: I think it's koa
😈: Can I say something honest though, I think it's Manato
ALL: Ohhhhh
🐢: Manato's a different kind [of crazy], the "doesn't read the mood" kind of crazy. He's the type that will do something that makes you go, "You want to do that now?". Ryuhei is just genuinely KY I think www
😈: wwww During BMSG FES, I got to be with Manato a lot but even during quieter songs he'll turn around to the audience and go, "Yo, what's up?" to them 😂
🐢: So that happened huh 😂
😈: It was super scary 😂 But I think it's the best kind of crazy haha! In summary, I think BMSG houses various kinds of crazy people www
Hope you enjoyed!
