LEO makes his third appearance on Yabuki Nako's Rekomen on September 4, 2024.

Brief Summary
LEO and Nako have a battle of the Kouhai and LEO talks about working on BE:FIRST's latest album, 2:BE and a teeny bit about their upcoming dome tour!


Intro
🩵: I have a battle with this week’s guest, 🦁-kun later! I’m quite nervous about it 😅

[🩵-chan has a corner where listeners can call in, this listener’s name is Kanon-chan. Her day job is making wedding cakes and she’s in school to become a professional chef]
🩵: Ah, if I ever get married I know who to call! 🤣
[When asked about her oshi, she said it’s ⚾ from MAZZEL]
🩵: Ah, they came on Rekomen before! He’s the member who sweats the most, and hates vegetables right? I remember! Later, I have 🦁-kun coming on the show later, he’s from the same company… Do you follow BE:FIRST too?
[She likes BE:FIRST too. The MUZE’s oshi in BE:FIRST is 🐨]
🩵: Ah! Sorry 🦁-kun! 😂🙏 Is he listening? Oh he’s not here yet, good good 😂 So it’s 🐨-san then! How did you come to like them?
[She says she watched the audition and has gone to their lives]
🩵: Could I ask something of you? 🦁-kun might not be listening but his members might, so if you want to give the members a message… And tell them your feelings? 😊

LEO comes!
🩵: Third time right?
🦁: Yeah!
🩵: It’s like you’ve been coming on often now!
🦁: True! Here for the third time, hi~
🩵: Aren’t you getting a little too comfortable? 🤔 (🦁: Hahahahah!)
🦁: Yeah, since it’s the third time
🩵: Too relaxed! 🤣
🦁: Sorry
🩵: But I’m happy, before it was like a chat. This time there’s a battle of some sort planned…
🦁: Yeah…

🩵: If it’s LOVE it! The most recent one was when we went [hiking] with NY-san right? Hokkaido
🦁: Yeah, we did - Shiretoko
🩵: That was fun! I think that was the first time with NY-san
🦁: It was, and I never been to Shiretoko in Hokkaido either. It felt good
🩵: We had breakfast around the same time at the hotel right? (🦁: Ah~!) We sat in different places, but there was a kid wearing the shirt…
🦁: Yeah, our company’s shirt… I debated going up and talking to them or not for a long time, I decided not to give them too much of a shock. (🩵: 🤣🤣🤣🤣)
🩵: But isn’t it amazing? (🦁: Definitely) [Seeing BESTY] in Hokkaido. It wasn’t a day where you guys had a live
🦁: Yeah.
🩵: And the kid was wearing that shirt..
🦁: Yeah, I really wanted to give them a hug (🩵: Mm!) But I didn’t want to inconvenience other people.. I was thinking a lot about things.
🩵: Mm, I get it, there were a lot of other guests having breakfast too. Made me realize again you guys are really popular
🦁: No no no~ Didn’t one of them say they’re a 🐨oshi?
🩵: 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Kanon-chan from earlier?
🦁: I was waiting for [my] time ( 🩵: You were there already?) and then heard [from staff] there’s an oshi. I was going “Eh? Me possibly~?” and [staff] were going “Eh~ Maybe🧨?” Then we learned it was 🐨-kun. So I was there
🩵: So that’s what happened! 🤣
🦁: I shouted for the first time, “It’s not me!?” (🩵: 🤣🤣🤣)
🩵: She did say she’ll make it to the next live
🦁: No, I’m happy she like the members. Thank you~

Love it! talk
The Thursday Love It cast had a meet up recently and exchanged gifts (through a bingo game)
🦁 got a bag full of one of the Buranko comedy duo (Hirai-san)’s merch and he said the atmosphere seemed like they were glad he’s the one that got this gift or it was gonna be awks 😂 🦁’s happy about the gift though!
🩵-chan got a high-end nail clipper (?) from the Macho guy and she said the sound is different from your usual nail clipper 😂
They all had fun!

Kouhai battle time~
🩵 and 🦁 are given 3 situations where they need to react like a kouhai and listeners vote on Twitter which of them they’d like as a kouhai

Whoever has the most votes will be the 1st ever Kouhai-esque (?) person on the show 😂

Pre-Battle talk
🦁: I’m pretty good at this
🩵: Ohh~ So you’re pretty confident?
🦁: I’ve been the youngest all this time. If it’s a competition it’s a gold medal, a world championship, gold metal 😤 Easy ✨
🩵: Youngest all this time but in BE:FIRST…? 🤨
🦁: Oldest 😂
🩵: Arerere? (🦁: Arer..? www) I won’t lose either 😤
🦁: You sure? 🤨
🩵: I got into HKT when I was 12…
🦁: That’s right!
🩵: I know the ways of the kouhai 😤💪
🦁: First wall in my life 😣 (🩵: First? 🤣🤣🤣🤣)
🩵: Aren’t there too few walls up to now then? 😂
🦁: Yeah, not a lot~ 🤣🤣🤣
🩵: You’re very good at this then! 😂

Situation 1: Cheer up your senpai who feels down after making a mistake at work
🦁: Ah, this is easy~ ✨
🩵: Eh? So fast!
🦁: I’ve had this happen many times
🩵: So you are experienced!

🩵’s turn for Situation 1
🩵: Senpai are you OK? [Senpai shares what happened], ah… Then, how about we go for a meal later? My treat!

🦁: Mine might sound a little similar…
🩵: Ohhhhhhh~!

🦁’s turn for Situation 1
🦁: Senpai! Let’s go for a drink! 😆

🩵: Ohohoho?
🦁: Just that is enough!
🩵: Ahhhhh!! Like that?!
🦁: For me, I will listen to everything afterwards. Asking about it right now probably isn’t a good idea. Once [senpai] has resolved or reflected to some extent, then I’ll listen to everything they want to say
🩵: Ohh, OK
🦁: I’m that type
🩵: Wait wait wait, I get it now – you’re good!
🦁: Mm 😏 Because we’re 1-v-1 today! 😤
🩵: Gotta give you props!

Situation 2: You and your senpai are both in front of the vending machine. What will you say to them so that they treat you to a drink?
🦁: Ahhh, OK. I got this one. This is quite basic for a competition…
🩵: You’re seeing this as a competition? 😂 [Staff is also laughing]
🦁: Like introductory chapter / 🩵: You really came to fight today~
🩵: Are these so low-level? 😩
🦁: Who’s going first this time?
🩵: Can 🦁-kun do the honours this time? / 🦁: Me?
🦁: OK

🦁’s turn for Situation 2
🦁: Ahhh!! This one!!!I really want this one, ahhhh! 😩

🩵: Ah, so you’re going for “spoil me” route~
🦁: If senpai treats me to a meal, I often say “Thank you for the food” right at the start…
🩵: Ahhh eeehhhh, you’re good!
🦁: Yeah, so I say it right off the bat
🩵: I feel like it’s something you say if you’re well-loved by people. No matter if they’re senpai or older than you, you’re well-loved so you can say that… Too good! I really can’t do that~
🦁: I came here with these as my weapons ⚔️

🩵’s turn for Situation 2
🩵: Senpai what are you drinking? Coffee? Black coffee? You’re able to drink black coffee? Wow!! You know, I want to be able to drink it~ Because I want to challenge myself, buy me one bottle! ☝️🥺✨

🦁: I see!
🩵: How was it?
🦁: You’re that type!
🩵: I complimented them, saying they were cool… So that they can buy me
🦁: So they buy it for you!
🩵: It’s the only way right? 😏 / 🦁:Aaahh~
🦁: You’re technical! This is like the practice questions! [Staff laughs again. He’s still saying these are introduction-practice lol] We’re getting to intermediate levels now. You’re good!
🩵: I picked up some of it from listening to yours
🦁: You’re leveling up as you battle. Like Dragonball! [Staff laughs]
🩵: Is that right? I don’t really know LMAO 😂

Situation 3: Your next appointment isn’t for another 20 minutes so you’re free. What will you say to your senpai?
🦁: You can do this in so many ways!
🩵: What? What do you mean? Different ways?
🦁: Like.. ai-mai-me-mai (eeny meeny miny moe)
🩵: Hmm?
🦁: Mmm. Everyone’s nodding, the staff-sans
🩵: They’re not! 😂
🦁: They did! The ones at the back! Thank you~
🩵: I don’t think they were listening 😂

🦁: This is quite advanced 🤔
🩵: What should I say.. Hmm… 20 minutes is hard!
🦁: I think 20 minutes is just right!

🩵’s turn for Situation 3
🩵: I’m bored~ Senpai, did you know that if you take a 15-minute nap it actually benefits you? How about we both take a nap, and whoever wakes up first wakes the other person up? 🤣

🦁: You’re going to sleep!
🩵: I panicked and was wondering “Mm? What does ‘whoever wakes up first wakes the other person up’ means”, but left it at that 😂
🦁: But it means you’re both resting
🩵: Yes!

🦁’s turn for Situation 3
🦁: I want to get to know senpai a little better, can senpai tell me a little about what you’re interested in lately? 🥺

🩵: Ohh, letting them talk!
🦁: Yeah!
🩵: I think you can definitely become closer like that!
🦁: Let them talk~
🩵: Uwahh, you’re good~!
🦁: If it’s something they like, it’s easier to talk about it, right? Depending on what they talk about, you might find common ground.
🩵: Wah~ Well the fact that you were very different in all 3 is great too
🦁: Right? I did pretty good!

Talk about 2:BE time
🩵 really liked the MV for Blissful and noticed that they did kendama in it 🤣 [she has also been really into kendama lately]
🦁 was told there’ll be a kendama scene he needs to be in, so he brought his kendama to NY and he was waiting for when they were going to shoot it. He waited and waited but it was already the last day so he finally asked staff-san when they were going to do the kendama scene. Staff-san said they already shot it, 🦁: “Eh?”
🩵: Your manager-san is saying sorry 🤣🤣🤣 “🙏”
🦁: So I wasn’t in the kendama group after all. I thought Ishida-san will be happy so I brought the one he gifted to me (🩵: Oh, you did?!)
🩵: You guys looked like you had a lot of fun!
🦁: It was, those scenes were a lot like us on our off-days. If there was a shot of us at the records store, we did get records there.

🦁: Technically, this song isn’t our representative song, but we’ve done a lot of hard-hitting songs up to now and wanted to have a song that was a bit laid-back. We talked to boss about it and we all made [this song] together. 🐧 and I went to the studio and made the song from scratch. We talked it over so it didn’t change anything. But this is one of the songs we wanted to do.
🩵: The members all participated in songwriting and production this time..
🦁: Yeah, the members all have things they wanted to do.. We did…quite a good job I think, whether for songwriting or production. It’s good, the members’ personalities shine through. We have unit songs too and our personalities really come out in those songs. Even if someone is listening to this album for the first time, they’ll be able to tell we’re doing a lot of things. There are a lot of fun songs, so I hope people enjoy listening to it
🩵: I think other than being involved in songwriting and productions, these songs can represent who you are now is good
🦁: Like you said, some things only stand out once it’s got some history… It’s quite important. It’s good isn’t it? When you look back, it’s easier.
🩵: Mm, like “we were like this back then~”
🦁: Yes [this was English]

Dome tour talk
🩵: December’s the first dome tour for you all right?
🦁: That’s right! Thank you for dome tour!
🩵: You have done domes before, but as a tour it’s a first
🦁: We just wrapped up a meeting for the dome tour today. We’ve finalized the setlist!
🩵 [as a joke]: Ohhh!! Please feel free to make the announcement now~
🦁 [responding to staff-san]: I shouldn’t have said we finalized the setlist? Well, I said it now so oh well
🩵: Yeah, you can’t take it back now
🦁: Could have told me it’s better I don’t say it, then I wouldn’t have~ 🥺 But with the setlist, we really started from zero, thought about what we wanted to show and sing… How should I put it… People who have seen our lives before… They’ll be able to see a new side of BE:FIRST again. For people who are seeing our lives for the first time, even if they didn’t know about us until now, I hope they will have a great time. If you come to see us with a light heart / no expectations, I am 200 million percent confident that you will leave with absolutely delightful memories 😆 So please come if you can!
🩵: So you’ll be preparing for that now right?
🦁: Yes!

Results of the Kouhai Battle arrived!
🦁: Who’s it gonna be?!

🩵: The winner is 🦁-kun with 52% votes (🩵 was 48%) 👏🎉👏🎉👏🎉👏🎉
🦁: Thank you~
🩵: That was a good battle~
🦁: Really good!
BOTH: 52% right?
🦁: So if it was 10 minutes longer it could’ve been different
🩵: Could’ve!
🦁: I’m so happy! Thank you so much~

🩵 reading comments: 🩵’s voice is cute but I got taken by 🦁’s sweet voice! 😩
🩵 reading comments: I want to be treated to a meal from 🩵 and a drink from 🦁! 🥺

🦁: I practice in front of the mirror everyday. (🩵: 🤣🤣🤣) My hard work is being rewarded 🙏

[Original tweet here]

Winning message
🦁: I want everyone to be happy!

Nako-chan's ending after LEO left
🩵: 🦁’s the show’s first King of Kouhai 🤣 He’s older than me but he does give younger brother vibes, 🤣


Hope you enjoyed!
