Nikkei had a BMSG special issue released in print last year that is slowly being released online as a series.

Nikkei x BMSG series: Revolutionaries changing Japan through entertainment (BMSG　エンタメで日本を変える革命児たち)

The first installment of the series talked about BMSG FES '24. The second provides an overview of the history of BMSG.

For 3rd to the 5th installments, it was a special talk between the BMSG Artists:
3rd installment - SKY-HI, REIKO, NAOYA, KANON special talk
4th installment - Novel Core, edhiii boi, JUNON, RUI special talk
5th installment - Aile The Shota, SOTA, SEITO, TAIKI special talk

In the 8th to 11th installments, Nikkei Entertainment spoke to people outside of BMSG, but worked closely with their artists or SKY-HI.

For the 12th installment, Nikkei spoke to the Chief Manager of BE:FIRST, Matsuo Taisei, and one of the trainers for BMSG Trainees, Money.
Note: Money is part of Blue Flap Quartet (BFQ). BFQ are backdancers for SKY-HI.

I've summarized what Macchan and Money had to say, enjoy!

To celebrate BMSG's 5th anniversary and BMSG FES '25, artists in BMSG held listening parties on Spotify.

On September 18, the listening party was hosted by ShowMinorSavage

On September 24, it was by former BMSG Trainees, Rui, Taiki, Kanon - now known as members of BMSG's third boy group, STARGLOW.

The listening party on October 3 was the final one, with SKY-HI, REIKO, and Chika and Yuri - members of BMSG's first girl group, HANA.

This translation only has the listening parties for 9/24 and 10/3 translated. I couldn't find an archive of SMS's one in time. Sorry about that.

Enjoy!
