Rolling Stone has been releasing 1-on-1 interviews with MAZZEL since October last year, the series ended with KAIRYU on May 28, 2025.

I translated Kairyu's one in the series.

On March 31st, 2025 Kairyu made an appearance on Japanese TV personality, Mukai Panther's radio program, "Panther Mukai's Flat"

The whole program ran for 1 hour and 30 minutes (8:30 am to 10:00 am), Kairyu appeared for an hour starting at 9am!

Brief Summary
The MCs congratulated Kairyu on being the new host for TALK ABOUT (formerly headed by Kudo Taiki from Da-iCE for seven years).
They also asked him questions about MAZZEL, about BMSG, and how / what prompted him to pursue a career in the entertainment industry.

( So you like to talk? Kairyu: I do! )

KAIRYU and NAOYA from MAZZEL guested on Kudo Taiki (Da-iCE)'s radio show, TALK ABOUT on October 14, 2023.

Note: The format of TALK ABOUT is there'll be a topic for listeners to submit messages, and for the guests and Taiki to "talk about" (lol). Taiki also connects with a listener on call. Instead of transcribing what the listeners say word for word, I've summarised / paraphrased it instead.

In the 30th episode of Mazebeya (MAZZEL Room), the boys went to a restaurant to celebrate the special occasion. They looked back on the year (2024) and appreciated the staff working for them, and being in a entertainment company like BMSG.

Link to Mazebeya ep. 30 is here. Feel free to watch along!

Summary is done by wen and me.

Translation of MAZZEL RADIO STATION -- Public Recording #32 November 5, 2023

Since April 2nd this year, MAZZEL has started their own radio show on Tokyo FM, MAZZEL RADIO STATION!

This post is different from previous ones because it was a public recording, with an audience, of MAZZEL RADIO STATION!

Brief Summary
The public recording was held on October 26, with the eventual broadcast of the event split into two parts.
Part 1 was broadcasted on October 29, 2023
Part 2 was broadcasted on November 5, 2023

Members were split into two teams:
TEAM CARNIVAL (Part 1) - SEITO, NAOYA, RAN, HAYATO
TEAM LIGHTNING (Part 2) - KAIRYU, TAKUTO, RYUKI, EIKI

All members were present for greetings and intro talk before giving the floor to four members, and they all return for thank you's!

In Part 2, it included the following special segments:
- FM Intro MAZZEL: Earlier in [MAZZ RAJI] 🦅, 🐥, 🐹 did a challenge like this before [August 6th episode]. Members introduce a song within the first few seconds [before the opening line starts]
- MAZZEL TRACKS SURVIVAL!: a staple segment on Mazz Raji, it was made extra special for the public recording! Each member chose a song, but only one song can be picked for airplay. Members weren't allowed to say what song they picked. Only why they chose it and their reasons. The winner will be determined by the number of audiences clapping!

Note: Unfortunately, the recording I was listening to cuts off the episode after each member introduces their song in the MAZZEL TRACKS SURVIVAL segment. Although I found out who the audience picked, we don't get to listen to him thanking the audience or the other members' thoughts on his song choice :(

Nevertheless, please enjoy what we've got from MAZZ RAJI's public recording, part 2!
