For the 12th installment, Nikkei spoke to the Chief Manager of BE:FIRST, Matsuo Taisei, and one of the trainers for BMSG Trainees, Money.

Rolling Stone Japan interviewed BMSG Artists in light of their 5th anniversary and BMSG FES '25. In the same issue, BE:FIRST was featured in their own interview.

In the interview, they were individually asked about Ryoki and going from 7 to 6. What they said generated discourse and discussion on Twitter among J-BESTYs when it was published.

The magazine also came out around the release of BE:FIRST's best of album "BE:ST", so the six also looked back on their discography and what was a song that is significant for them.

Thanks to

hana_hana, I was able to spend some time to translate their thoughts.

Translation of BE:FIRST's MILLION BILLION PODCAST, Episode 4, July 1st, 2023

Other than BE:FIRST's main MILLION BILLION radio show on J-WAVE every Saturday, they also started the MILLION-BILLION podcast back in June, 2023. In the MILLI-BILLI PODCAST, members answer listener questions, messages, give advice, and / or have discussions around the messages listeners send in. The atmosphere is more relaxed, so I've started listening to them!

All podcast episodes are available on MILLION-BILLION's AMAZON Music page, so feel free to follow along as you listen to the audio. I will have each episode's podcast linked under the cut!

Enjoy!
