Q: First-time experience lately?
🐉: Have you guys had a first-time experience lately? Because I have.
🧨: O-ohh, then go ahead
🐉: I have a gaming PC at home now
🧨, 🐨: Ohhhh
🐉: I also set up the desk and table myself (🧨: Ohh!). We recently met in Osaka right (🧨: Yeah), the day before that I spent 3.5 hours assembling it.
🧨: Ohhhh!
🐨: Table is the hardest one ( 🧨: Yeahhh!)
🐉: It was hard, but when I looked at how cool my desk looked afterwards…
🧨: It changes the whole interior look of your room doesn’t it
🐉: Yeah… Though the time I spend at home gaming has really decreased…
🐨: A lootttt, so muuchhh!
🐉: Also, I find it hard to focus when I sit down in my room and open a game… I think I lost the energy for it
🐨: It disappears
🐉: I could game for 9 hours in a day very easily before.
🧨: Now you don’t have the time right, for 9 hours of gaming
🐉: Yeah.
🧨: But speaking of a gaming PC, I have a friend who’s an artist too, and he’d use dumbbells as the desk, put the PC on top of it when he’s in the dressing room 😂 He’d even bring the keyboard, it’s like [the dressing room is] his own room
🐨: 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
🐉: Wait, you mean he brought his own?
🐨: It’s not a laptop?
🧨: But it’s got a keyboard.
🐉: So it’s a laptop-PC?
🧨: He was doing that much
🐉: A gamer. I’ve still got a long ways to go
🧨: You haven’t done that before right
🐉: Nope
🧨: Then aim for that.

How is their BF_Mainstream tour so far?
🧨: We just finished Hiroshima lives yesterday right
🐉: I think we livened up Hiroshima pretty well didn’t we?
🧨, 🐨: Yeah we did~
🧨: BESTYs were very energetic
🐉: They were
🐨: Do we have any backstage episodes?
🐉: We can’t spoil things [for the rest of the tour and fans]...
🧨: Ah! 💡
🐉, 🐨: What what what 😅
🧨: The food was so good
🐨: We had some food!
🐉: Hiroshima and Fukui
🐨: Fukui!
🧨: Fukui was surprising tbh, I didn’t imagine [it would taste so good?]. Hiroshima wasn’t the first time so I know the food there is good, but Fukui was my first time. The food is… That’s my first experience!! Fukui’s food!! ☝️
🐉, 🐨: True True
🐨: Seafood…
🧨: And we went on the day they started harvesting crabs
🐨: Yeah yeah yeah
🐉: Oh yeah we did.
🧨: Yeah, that was amazing.
🐨: Was good
🐉: Was rich
🧨: The food was so good that I want to take a trip to Fukui when I have time this month! 🤣
🐉: Woah, amazing
🐨: No! [He means there’s no time this month lol]
🧨: No? Hahaha. There’s no [time] right? But I really want to have it again before crab season is over~
🐉: Yeah~
🐨: Would be good~
🐉: The crab in Fukui!
🧨: It livens up the energy 🔥

🐉: I thought the shape of the venue was pretty significant
🧨, 🐨: Trueee
🐉: It’s kind of like a dome. It was roundish. The way the seats are placed is also circular. For Tokyo we did it at Yoyogi. I think it seemed to have depth. Maybe it’s different depending on the venue.
🧨: We don’t have audience that’s directly facing us [in the Hiroshima venue?]
🐉: Yes yes / 🐨: Mm mm mm
🐉: I want to enjoy the different vibes I get from each venue

What should people look out for in the BF_Mainstream tour?
🐉: The other songs we have, in addition to our latest single, Mainstream.
🧨: Ahh, our origins right
🐉: I mean, we are doing the tour based on our single, so our discography has increased right. I want people to pay attention to our performances too. SOS is up on YouTube…
🐨: Under BMSG FES [‘23] right
🐉: Yes yes yes. There’s video of that from BMSG FES [‘23], and our choreography for that is out now. It’s a very cool choreo isn’t it. Though whether we do it or not I can’t say 🤷
🧨,🐨: 🤣🤣🤣🤣
🧨: We have “Mainstream” as the title of our tour… I wouldn’t be surprised if people thought they were duped 😂
🐉: LOL, but I hope people look forward to it, maybe they’ll be touched, “New song!!” something like that.
🐨: True / 🧨: Yeah!

🐨: I want people to pay attention to the opening video
🧨: Ahhh!! That’s good!!
🐨: All seven of us do some acting in our opening videos, but this time is the first time we included our voices.
🧨: True true
🐨: So this is the first time our opening video includes acting plus spoken lines. So I think that’s something people should look forward to. The very beginning.
🧨: It’s fascinating, seeing all the members acting.
🐉: We all read our script 😀
🐨: Fascinating right
🧨: We all had our own little scenarios, so that’s something people should look forward to
🐉: It’s still us in terms of vibes

🧨: For me, it’s our lives 🔥
🐨: They are going to watch our lives
🐉: You’re saying lives when it’s a live? [because Japan likes to refer to their performances, no matter it’s a concert or just a performance at a festival a “live”]
🧨: Eh? I’m mistaken?
🐨: Yeah
🧨: Really?
🐨: Be a bit more specific
🧨: Ok ok. Well, after completing a hall tour we’re now doing an arena tour. We’ve gotten some new songs since the hall tour so how we incorporate those new songs into our setlist and when it comes up and how it all links together – I hope everyone takes the time to imagine what that looks like and look forward to a great [concert] experience and we all have fun together!
🐉: Look forward to 🧨’s ideas.
🐨: Definitely! Look forward to that! (🧨: Ehehehehehe!) [I believe they’re referring to RYOKI’s local shoutouts lmao]
🧨: Maybe a MC at some point…
ALL: Hahahah!
🐉: That was great [his comment just now]
🧨: Thank you!
🐉: He probably thought of that for 2 days
🧨: I probably shoulda thought some more then!
🐉: The amount of words 😆

🐉: We hope we can show everyone how we’ve powered up. We truly enjoy each and every live and level up every time. We hope we’re able to share that fun with you all. Please wait for us~ 👋
