Guitarist Issei agreed, saying that in the beginning, their main focus was on Japan.

During their travels, the members had very busy schedules with performances and interviews, which left little time for sightseeing. Still, they enjoyed short walks, tried local food, and created new memories. In Singapore, they finally tasted authentic bak kut teh, a dish they had first tried together in Japan. Shingo even bought a bottle of dark soy sauce to take home, planning to use it in ramen. Peppe hoped to visit the Singapore Botanic Gardens, showing her love for World Heritage Sites.
The band also talked about their music and personal growth. Their new single My Answer, written by Haruko, has special meaning for each of them. They reflected on the lyrics, their favorite live performances, and the songs that shaped their early days. Despite growing older and becoming more experienced, the members feel their friendship has stayed the same. They still joke around backstage and support each other just like they did in high school.
