Since April 2nd this year, MAZZEL has started their own radio show on Tokyo FM, MAZZEL RADIO STATION!
I recently got to their 30th episode, so I thought I'll start sharing their episodes from the very beginning.
Brief Summary
This episode is with Takuto and Eiki! This episode is a little special because Mazz Raji also welcomes its first guest, BMSG Trainee - KANON!
They reminisce their time in MISSIONx2 auditions and share some behind the scenes talk on BMSG EAST and BMSG WEST, and preparing for BMSG FES '23!
This episode included the following special segments:
- BMSG Personalities: "Which BMSG member is the most ____?"
Enjoy!
Intro
🦦: Is this my first radio with ⚾?
⚾: I think so!
⚾: It feels like it’s been a while.
🦦: True!
⚾: Let’s do our best and talk lots
🦦: ? Yes, let’s, haha
Fall-Autumn Equinox
🦦: Yesterday was the autumn equinox and also the first day of BMSG FES ‘23
⚾: It means that the times between the days and evenings are about the same now. Once it gets like that, it’s supposed to indicate we’re going into autumn / fall 🍂
🦦: Ohh
⚾: I really like autumn though
🦦: I like winter
⚾: I like winter too.
🦦: ? Winter too?
⚾: I mean I like how autumn goes into winter. It slowly gets colder and you need to wear a jacket
They play “CARNIVAL” (one chorus)
🦦: We can only play one chorus today, but next week we can play the full song.
⚾: It’s a carnival so we really liven it up
🦦: Mm, we do
⚾: The choreo is also good guys, very cool
🦦: That’s right!
BMSG FES '23
⚾: Starting yesterday and today (9/24) we’re performing at BMSG FES '23. Would we be performing still at the moment..?
🦦: Probably…?
[the fes was 4.5 hours long, and MAZZ RADIO starts from 8:00 p.m. JST so they would’ve finished or was close to, lol]
⚾: Maybe just about to end?
⚾: There are probably people from Osaka who wanted to go but couldn’t and are watching the stream so we can’t spoil much
⚾: This week is BMSG Family Week, so this week we have a guest!
🦦: Oh! Our first guest! Who would it be?
NON appears
⚾: Please introduce yourself
👻: Hello! It’s BMSG Trainee, KANON!
🦦, ⚾: Good voice!
⚾: It sounds even better on radio
👻: Thank you 😊
⚾: Welcome to MAZZEL RADIO
👻: I was really looking forward to this
⚾: Really? Did you get to sleep last night?
👻: My sleeping time is rather short tbh 😅
*jokingly* ⚾: Too excited to be on MAZZEL RADIO right
👻: Of course!
🦦: And this week we have rehearsals for BMSG FES, so I’ve been seeing 👻a lot
👻: That’s true
🦦: And we went to have a meal together recently
👻: We did. It was quite interesting
🦦: From MAZZEL, it was me, ☕, 🐹, 🦔, from the trainees there was 👻and 🐼
⚾: That’s such an interesting [combo]
🦦: Six of us went yakiniku right
👻: The food was good
🦦: We can go another time, haha
🦦: Have you gone on any radio stations before this 👻?
👻: This one’s literally my first
⚾: Oh! Dedicated your first radio appearance for MAZZEL RADIO
👻: Of course 😆
⚾: Then you can only come to MAZZEL RADIO later on, lol
🦦: Ah, you’re tying him to us hey 🤣
Introducing KANON (by 🦦)
A companion and friend from MISSIONx2 who experienced the auditions together with them. 👻was a contestant until the final screening. Boss reached out to him after MISSIONx2 and is now part of BMSG as a Trainee 🎉
What’s KANON busy with lately as a Trainee?
⚾: You’re still a student right?
👻: Yeah, so I’m still going to school and experiencing school life. After school, I go to the studio, meet with everyone and practice / work on our assigned song(s) or we have lessons.
⚾: Sounds great!
🦦: Oh, so that’s what you do…
👻: Pretty much “practice session”
Memories of MISSIONx2
👻: There are a looott. It's been about a year since then right?
🦦, ⚾: Yeah!
⚾: I think we’re right around “Get Down”.. Screening?
🦦: I think we were still practicing, in Tokyo.
⚾: The evaluation was early October
🦦: We all met each other again in Tokyo
👻: Ahh, yes yeah.
[timeline for those interested, Eiki is quite right lmao: https://bmsg.fandom.com/wiki/MISSIONx2/Timeline ]
⚾: I think it was right around BMSG FES '22, so we were all in our rooms.
🦦, 👻: We were!
⚾: And we met again after that.
🦦: Yes.
⚾: And that really ramped up our desire to get in to BMSG. ( 👻, 🦦: Yes!) We met after all of that…
👻: I watched [BMSG FES '22] with 🐥and 🦄 (⚾: you mentioned you did! ) it was really fun.
[he also calls 🦄 “Tom” LOL]
⚾: And we’re now appearing at the FES too, right?
🦦, 👻: Wild
👻: Who would’ve known this would happen?
⚾: I was on the same team as 👻from the very beginning (Team Green), that was fun right?
👻: Yeah.
🦦: I think I was with KANON for Fantasy?
👻: I think just that right?
🦦: Yeah, Team C
⚾: You’re both from the Kanto region though, so it feels like you’re both together a lot
👻: And 🦦’s been asking me out to eat very often lately
🦦: 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
👻: I’m very happy about it though, thank you.
🦦: Our way home is the same right?
👻: Yes yes.
🦦: We chatted a lot because of that.
👻: Yeah! Or we’d find something to eat on the way home
BMSG EAST / BMSG WEST talk (Recording the song / Shooting the MV, etc.)
👻: The two songs are very different in vibes right
⚾: What was EAST like?
🦦: Everyone was chatting during down time
🤣🤣🤣🤣
🦦: For me and 🦄 who are in MAZZEL, we’re both on the quiet side. We’d be in the corner by ourselves. 🦁 was constantly chatting with 🌞 and they were playing around together, so we were kind of watching him from afar. That’s kind of how shooting the MV went
👻: That’s true.
⚾: We’ve mostly been together as MAZZEL right, it was from shooting the MV that we, and the Trainees, got to interact with BE:FIRST and the solo artists right. I think we all got to become closer with the others from the MV shoot.
👻: it was fun!
🦦, ⚾: Mm
🦦: And we did a lot of TikToks
👻: We did a lottt
⚾: We hope it’s the best MVs ever
🦦: 👻had a line before 🌞right? Were you nervous?
👻: I did realize, “Oh, this comes before boss!” but I thought I’ll take it easy – in a good way I mean!
⚾: With 👻, it’s like you never look nervous 🤣
🦦: Right? He looks very calm.
⚾: Were you nervous during the [MISSIONx2] evaluations?
👻: I was.. But I wasn’t trying to hide or not look like I was nervous… Even when I look back on it, I’m like “Hm? I don’t look nervous?”. When I remember how I felt though, I remember feeling nervous, maybe it doesn’t show on my face.
🦦: I remember around “Fantasy” you said you weren’t nervous
👻: I don’t think I was nervous at all for “Fantasy”
🦦: Right? I remember you said that.
👻: 🦦 was very nervous
⚾: I was also pretty nervous during Fantasy
👻: Everyone’s nervous and I was like “UWEY~”
🦦: I thought this person was crazy
KANON’s English
👻’s still studying English
[but he was able to correct ⚾ 's pronunciation of personalities correctly bless him]
~BMSG Personalities~
“Who is still a mystery?”
🦦: For me it’s Trainee RUI ⚡I’ve had meals with 👻, 🐼 and 🌙 quite a lot but I haven’t had a chance to with ⚡yet. We haven’t really talked either…
👻: hmm, there’s still a lot about⚡that’s a mystery to me, but he does think deeply on things. He’s reading psychology books you know.
🦦, ⚾: Really?
👻: I think he definitely has his calm side, but most of the time he’s being silly but like it’s a front, maybe. I’m not really sure.
🦦: If he’s a mystery to even 👻then ⚡must be quite a mystery
⚾: That’s also
👻: ⚡’s charm
👻: I feel like everyone is a mystery.
⚾, 🦦: 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
⚾: What about from MAZZEL?
🦦: I wanna know
👻: I’ve been with you all since the auditions, but… ☕maybe? He’s very funny, very observant, kind but I don’t know how he is in his private life 🤔
🦦, ⚾: We don’t know either
[something about “hayashi” and whenever ☕talks about it he looks like he’s enjoying himself]
“Who is the kindest?”
⚾, 👻: Everyone is kind though.
⚾: I do have one person in mind though – Shota 🫧
👻, 🦦: uwaaa
👻: I get it
⚾: He is the embodiment of kindness. During rehearsals, there’s a lot of artists and lots of songs right. 🫧will vibe along to all of them. He’d say “this is good!”, listen to it and just enjoy them all.
🦦: I get it
⚾: 🫧 is love
🦦: Everyone is kind, but it’s 👿 for me
🦦: He talks to us [MAZZEL] a lot, “yeah yeah yeah, MAZZEL’s doing great right?!”
⚾: Exactly like that haha!
👻: I get itt, haha
👻: During rehearsals he was like “UWEY~” all the time too.
👻: They’re all kind people.
⚾: BMSG’s a company made up of kind people, it’s great
👻: Yup.
BMSG WEST
⚾: With EAST the motif was ☀️right, and WEST is 🌕, there are a couple of quiet people in WEST but once we started shooting the MV… I’m also one of the quieter ones in MAZZEL, and I would stay in the corner with 🦦, but the person who talked the most was 🐧 [same age as ⚾]. 🐧came to talk to us right? I was goofing around and 🐧carried on with it and we got closer from that 😊
