bmsgYoutube channel, Shigoto Reach! uploaded a video of a day in the life of BE:FIRST's Chief Manager, Matsuo Taisei (also affectionately known as "Macchan" among the members or "Matsuo Mama").
Below is a summary of what the video covered!
Link to video here!
- if the boys have two days straight of lives / events, then matsuo mama will definitely give them the third day off to prevent tiring them out, exhaustion or overexerting their vocal chords
- Matsuo mama's box of medical care includes a lot of TCM (traditional Chinese medicine) recommended from The Mother (TM) / vocal coach(es) as well as those that are effective depending on the members and their health.
TCM is less invasive on the immune system and with less side effects compared to Western medicine. Also, TCM can be taken to prevent colds from developing during flu season or while sick to stop symptoms from worsening.
- beef's managers have a manager meeting scheduled every week to: check on each member's mental and physical health, schedules, and so on.
- YT content are mostly proposed by the members and / or Matsuo Mama. With the members, their proposals are taken once every year with all seven of them together
- Before lives, matsuo-mama will be backstage with a vest (full of pockets) having certain items on hand for members to use (the balloons lol), but once the boys are performing he's most often in the audience with the fans and will communicate with members reactions from the audience. (there will be other managers backstage to help with outfit changes)
- Matsuo-mama had a chance to study abroad while in college. Kpop was popular among his American friends at the time. When he tried to tell them about Jpop though, they either "didn't know" or "couldn't understand" Jpop at all. He wanted to one day be able to tell everyone the appeals of Jpop because Jpop was something that really saved him when times were rough. Around this time, his senpai in college told him about BMSG. He feels like what boss was saying on the company homepage reflected a lot of the experiences he felt when he was abroad and believes the boys can be able to show to the world that Jpop is good too. He thinks that a lot of what the boys want to do (going global) overlaps with what he wants (Tell the world Jpop is appealing!) and the timing couldn't be better when he applied for the position.
- matsuo-mama did have another meeting after junon and shunto left after the kiseki challenge was over. It was specifically with the strategic team re: going global
from 🐨 - Matsuo mama can see the group from their POV and also the fans. He's grateful for Matsuo mama 🙏
from 🐢 - beef doesn't have a leader but Matsuo-mama is definitely someone like that for them.
Other interesting things:
- BMSG staff count is at 50~60
- 6 managers for beef alone (not sure if matsuo-mama counted himself, but sounds like the number we saw from the credits in blissful MV)
Head manager: In charge of budget and overall management of the group
Desk manager: In charge of finances, bookkeeping, liquidation statements, billing statements, etc of the group
Matsuo Mama: Matters relating to the members and lives
Creative manager: Manages the group's branding and content
Other managers: Accompany members to their gigs, lives, and events; keep in touch with members regularly.
- overall, matsuo-mama does not force the boys to do gigs they don't like. Prior to photoshoots, managers will also definitely talk with the members beforehand so there aren't any surprises. It is the big premise for any gigs the boys get, that they have been briefed by their managers about what is involved and their boundaries and wishes are respected.
- beef's branding: "simple & cool"
Hope you enjoyed!
