What are your thoughts on L!L!L! (Love the Life We Live) and the unit song MONSTER GIRLS? (Pink bubble)

L!L!L! (Love the Life We Live) is a great title. When I sing this song, I can feel the depth of its meaning. Since itā€™s the first song featuring all of the members, itā€™s become one of my favorite songs. It undoubtedly sounds like a Love Live! song and itā€™s also wonderful that the word ā€œLIVEā€ is used with its double meaning of ā€œlive concertā€ and ā€œto live life.ā€ On the contrary, MONSTER GIRLS by R3BIRTH doesnā€™t feel like a Love Live! song and has a refreshingly new sound. When you listen to it, youā€™ll feel the unique charm of R3BIRTH!

Please tell us about Mia Taylor. (White bubble)

Mia-chan is an international student from New York City, and Iā€™m from Australia, so being more fluent in English than Japanese is something we have in common. Mia-chan and I also both really love singing. I feel that I can express myself more clearly through singing. The second season of the anime will start soon, so Iā€™ll work hard on practicing and improving my singing and dancing to deliver a unique performance as Mia-chan.

Please tell us about the solo songs Iā€™m Stillā€¦ and Toy Doll. (White bubble)

Toy Doll, which appears on Nijigakuā€™s 4th Album, has full English lyrics. Mia-chan started out lost, but changed little by little as she met everyone in Nijigaku. I believe you can feel her inner growth in these lyrics. Iā€™m Stillā€¦, which appears on R3BIRTHā€™s 1st single, has a relaxed tune that a singer-songwriter would sing. The improvisation in it and how it doesnā€™t sound idol-like makes it a great song.

What are you looking forward to as a part of Nijigaku? (White bubble)

Iā€™m especially looking forward to our 4th Live. Though Iā€™m nervous because itā€™s been a while since Iā€™ve sung in front of other people, Iā€™ll do my best. On top of the live concert, Iā€™m looking forward to being able to do anything with the other members and have fun together. My heart pounds with excitement when I imagine what Iā€™ll be able to do with everyone! Onishi Aguri-chan and Sagara Mayu-chan have been good friends of mine for a long time, so Iā€™m happy to be working with them!
