rockin'on JAPAN did a seven-month long feature on each of the BE:FIRST members in their magazine. LEO was featured in the May, 2023 issue.

(They did an interview with all the members together in the following month, lol)

Note: These interviews with rockin'on JAPAN were released only in print, so I specifically bought this issue knowing it's LEO's turn. (The things we do for our oshis)

This rockin'on JAPAN issue can be purchased via Amazon (Japan) or rockin'on JAPAN's website. So if you're interested and able to, please get yourself a copy! :)

RYUHEI:
Thank you very much for awarding us the Best R&B Video. The song "Betrayal Game", as the title implies, is about uragiri (betrayal). Also the MV contains many lyrics about the deep humanity such as the duality and tactics of people.

RYOKI:
As Ryuhei mentioned, we received the best video award for R&B today. BE:FIRST has always been trying to genreless music and trying to expand the possibilities of various music kinds to think outside the box. We have been challenging ourselves in that way. Therefore I think the fact that we receive this award for R&B is a recognition of one of our genres. We hope we would be recognized from different angles and expand the possibilities of our own music. Thank you very much for your continued support.
