Translated from SKY-HI's interview series with Nikkei, "Be myself, for ourselves"
Original interview, 89th installment from June 16, 2023 here
KAIRYU
☕ was one of the earliest members to develop his professional mentality. Boss could feel his desire to debut and wanting to have a great group very strongly during Mx2. ☕ plays a huge part in the way Mazz is now
NAOYA
🐥 left a strong impression on boss, especially during Mx2. 🐥 is child-like in that he still has a "once I've decided, I'd go for it" mentality, kind of like RUI and TAIKI. 🐥 's very talented, during recordings if he's given directions he wouldn't just adjust or do it the way boss wants him to, he'll ask until he fully understands.
RAN
Boss thinks 🦅 has changed the most. He has learned a lot from watching RAN as well. He's actually been telling RAN the same thing, just in different ways, from THE FIRST to Mx2. Boss says it mustn't have been easy for 🦅 to adjust from being a dancer in Kumamoto to being in a dance+vocal group. At some points, he was worried he was escorting 🦅 to hell himself. He's glad 🦅 been able grow and flourish everyday 😊
SEITO
Seito's friendliness is a gift, and he is akin to a (medium-sized) dog 🤣
He's the type that grows and improves through encouragement, so he asks MUZES to please shower him with compliments LMAOOOO
RYUKI
🦔 is a natural-born rapper. Although edhiii boi and 🦔 's rap styles & personalities are very different, boss sometimes wonders if he'll turn out like edhiii and Ryuki if he auditioned for BMSG.
TAKUTO
On first impression, boss thought 🦦 was a kind person, and he has proved him right as he progressed later on in Mx2 and Mazz. Although Takkun is 24, his curiosity in music is akin to a teen and is still growing and learning ✨
Another thing boss wanted to comment on is when 🦦 is around other members. Usually, there's a sense of older / younger hierarchy when there are people of various ages in a group, but 🦦 gives off a "I don't think he will reject / not like me" so it makes him well-liked. Junon is like that too, and boss thinks it's a great quality. It's important to have older members like that in a group to help the other members feel safe+comfortable.
HAYATO
Boss first thought 🦄 was someone who could grow a lot and he has kept on growing! Since he is interested in girl group dances, and has expressed wanting to be the cute person in Mazz, boss hopes he can dabble his interests in other genres too (not just stick to what he's good at), due to his immense potential and talent.
He also thinks maybe 🦄 should do a girl group dance cover with 🐉 and 🐥 lol
EIKI
All young people have potential, but boss thinks ⚾ is the kind of person who believes in his own potential, and that is his strength.
Boss refers to himself, Novel Core, 🦁 as people with "heroic syndrome". Not the one that everyone thinks of, but a syndrome where they can imagine a story of themselves as the main character. To put it into baseball terms, it's kind of like, no matter the batting order, we can swing the bat with no hesitation. He thinks ⚾ is someone who believes strongly in himself and he can grow infinitely ✨ 💪
Translations are not professional by any means. I'm doin' this for free and cuz I love this company lots, lmao.
