bmsgSummary of BE:FIRST's MILLION BILLION from June, 2023
Note: Some episodes are summaries rather than transcriptions. I was keeping tabs of whether the boys said anything interesting and that's subjective because it's me, so things may be left out! Sorry!
Announcement that the show is on Amazon Music and the “podcast” segment 🎉 🎉 🎉
JuJu and the Ms. Nakashima Mika’s talk
[It was funny because some of the questions Juju asked Mika shot it down real quick lmao)]
She can’t really remember how she felt winning awards and such 😂
Very busy (shooting and recordings)
Felt like it was an audition every day
Being a singer was a career she never thought of
Didn’t have confidence in her skills
“Maybe i can appear in a fashion magazine” so went to a magazine office in Kagoshima, and an acquaintance was like “Hey can you record this demo track” (the composer was there too). She didn’t really know what was going on but she sang it and only realised later it was an audition
She didn’t want to lie or feel like she was being dishonest when talking about how she entered this industry, so she started changing what she said.
Rather than like “my dream came true”, she saw her career a lot like work.
She slowly started to set goals to improve her skills
Enka singing style definitely influenced her own way of singing (she listened to enka and DCT a lot)
She focused a lot on understanding the lyrics, even now
JuJu mentioned “Orion” (her recent release), and said he was very touched by her voice and was close to tears.
Announcement of the start of the “podcast” segment
🦁mentioned that he walked the red carpet for “SpiDEAR Man”, and met with the members the next day and they all went “Ah, Spider Man came!”
🧨: You sent a bunch of pictures for your red carpet outfit asking for suggestions 🤣
🦁: I did, haha 😆
🧨: You didn’t went with that one in the end.
🦁: I didn’t~ I had a few that were colorful but 🧨 would definitely get it
🧨: This is a bit of a spoiler everyone, but you wanted to copy someone right.
🦁: Yeah 😊
🧨: Your pose was perfect too, haha.
🦁: I sent that to Ryoki and the group chat, 🧨 had the biggest reaction to it haha
🧨: 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
🦁: That was pretty good right?
🧨: It was! I was thinking, “OMG you’re going to wear that fr?!” ( 🦁: I was!)
🧨: Then the day of and I saw the news, you were in a black suit
🦁: I think everyone in the world is waiting for the return of Leonidas Kataridasu 🥺😊
🧨: Woah, you really are different after that red carpet huh.
🧨: 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
🧨: Well, you do feel like you see the world a bit on a red carpet right?
🦁: Yeah~
Big announcement

JuJu and Nakashima Mika’s talk
JuJu complimented Ms Nakashima Mika so much that she said, “Ah, today’s a good day~”
Announcement: BE:FIRST singing the ending song for Baki Hanma 👏👏👏
🕺: Hasn’t it been a while since I did MILLI-BILLI with you?
🦁: Well, it’s been a while since I’ve been on MILLI-BILLI 🤣
About summer
🦁: It’s already over 30 degrees C / 86 degrees F here, what’s it gonna be like in summer?
🕺: It’s going to be HOT
🦁: I remember something. I met up with 🕺and 🐧, and 🕺… when it gets to summer and it’s super hot.. He was an hour late
🕺: 😂😂😂😂😂
🦁: Manato showed up 10 minutes late, 🕺said he was on his way but I thought he definitely wasn’t
🕺: 😂
🦁: I was thinking you weren’t going to show up at all. Time wise.
🕺: Are we doing a status update right now?
🦁: Well no, but we could make it so
🕺: No it’s fine, haha 😂
🕺: But we’ve been paired a lot lately for work right
🦁: Yeah, we have, because we recently had a meal together right 😊 Then sauna.. And then.. Ah, the next day was practice at the studio. Then we bumped into 🐉.
🕺: Right in Shibuya too. We asked him why he was there and 🐉said “I wanted to find matcha by myself”
🦁: He ran up to us from behind and went “Woa”
🕺: We thought something serious happened
🦁: Yeah
🕺: 🐉’s funny
About Smile Again TFT version
🕺: The video and recording was done a while back, but we’re thankful everyone. But finally right, we have a digital release of it. We hope it’s easier for everyone to listen to it lots.
🦁: We have the piano right then the acapella
🕺: That’s good on digital isn’t it?
🦁: The jacket / cover?
🕺: I keep listening to it. I was listening to the whole playlist (TFT playlist) so to see us there too…
🦁: It’s kinda strange..
🕺: Makes you wonder right.
🦁: How was TFT?
🕺: It was nerve-wracking, but it’s always the 7 of us. We’ve experienced all kinds of nervousness at this point. Once we started singing it was just about having fun
🦁: True. In the beginning it’s nerves.
🕺: Before we sing it’s kind of like a battle with yourself, but once we’re up there and we sing.. 🧨’s directly opposite me (🦁: Ah, I was on the same side as 🧨). So everyone was there, and once we all got into it I wasn’t nervous at all.
🕺: It’s wild.. Because we’re on a video that I’ve always liked watching.
🦁: Me too.
Hope you enjoyed!
