For the episode that aired on December 22, 2023.

Intro
🐨: We’re closing in on the year, how do you guys spend the New Year? We don’t meet up that day
🧨: Last year? [2022 going to 2023] I went to the shrine!
🐉: Last year, you mean, this year? What did I do actually… I think I didn’t move after getting home from Kouhaku. For two days I felt like I had no energy
🧨: I get itttt / 🐨: 🤣🤣🤣🤣
🧨: And we did a special version of Shining One for Kouhaku, NOPPO-san choreographed that for us

🧨: What did SHUNTO do?
🐨: Me? I just kept eating 😆
🧨: Osechi rightttt
🐨: And sushi, a lot of it, and sukiyaki
🧨: I had sukiyaki too!
🐨: Grandma would make it with the best meat you know! It was super duper good
🧨: After Kouhaku I had sukiyaki
🐨: I remember that!
🧨: You do? Thank you~ That makes me happy~
🐉: What’s that about 😂
🧨: 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Best scenes / moments 2023!
🐨: I’ll start! For me it’s definitely my collab with UVERworld and performing at Nissan stadium
🐉: The members are nice to all of us, not just 🐨
🐨: They went to see our live too
🐉: That made us happy
🧨: I love UVERworld too. And you did good too [🐨]. The song changes when you listen to it as an adult compared to when you were a student right. And the setlist changed too. Then 🐨appeared towards the latter-half when they switched it up. It was like 🐨was a part of UVERworld’s history, they showed it off in a very simple way. It was great.
🐨: It was very fun~
🧨: And your hair was green at the time so it was easy to find you

🐉: What is it I wonder
🐨: You have [a collab] too don’t you?
🐉: ADULT right? I collabed with my fave band, Queen Bee’s vocalist Avu-chan, and producer KERENMI on that. Avu-chan’s personality was overpowering..
🧨: You got overwhelmed?
🐨: I feel like you absorbed a lot of it though. It shows in your lives with Avu-chan
🐉: Really?
🐨: mm
🐉: I’ve seen a lot of Avu-chan’s lives, but [performing with her] it’s different. For me.
🐨: And aren’t your voices quite similar?
🐉: I actually told [Avu-chan] I want to perform “Mephisto” with her some time
🐨: OH WOW! If it’s a live show then you should!
🧨: Collab? Or a cover would be good too~
🐉: I’m pretty much a “Mephisto” too, when I sang it [our voices] sounded very similar. I also really like “Violence”
🐨: True, you’re the best at it 😄
🧨: All of us went to see Avu-chan’s live recently didn’t we, and we all lined up to say hi to her right. She just went right over to 🐉, and said “Birthday present”. It was like 2 seconds LMAO.
🐉: She was like, “Birthday”
🧨: Then, “OK, bye bye!”
🐨: It was quick~ She’s tall too
🐉: Her height combined with her aura is very something
🧨: Happened in a blink of an eye
🐉: And some members didn’t even realise it’s over
🐨: It was like, she was gone 😂
🧨: “Oh ohh!!” with others it’s like, we’ll take photos together right
🐉: But when we chatted with her it was quite a honest, frank conversation
🐨: Yup
🧨: She’s great~

🧨: As BE:FIRST, I think it would be Music Station. It’s a huge moment, and to perform “Mainstream” there too. We had a lot of dancers as well. We released Mainstream in the latter half of the year right? I think it’s great that we are being praised for our music, and our skills. So I think that makes Mainstream my top moment for 2023!

Hope you enjoyed!
