ABEMA’s own interview video ABEMA with &TEAM members has been released.

In this interview, we dig deeper into the members’ charms through the behind-the-scenes stories of the production of their second album “Yukiakari” released on December 18th, the behind-the-scenes stories of the MV shooting, and the arena tour held in the summer of 2024. are.

Every time the MV is released on YouTube, it receives over 10 million views, and the group will hold their first arena tour in the summer of 2024. &TEAM created a “&TEAM whirlwind” in five cities including Tokyo and Seoul. We conducted an exclusive interview with ABEMA about their arena tour, as well as the behind-the-scenes stories behind the production and music video shooting of their second album “Yukiakari”, which was released on December 18th.

The two MCs for this interview will be decided by lottery, and YUMA, who has excellent singing ability, and FUMA, who has 19 years of dance experience, will serve as MCs. The talk will take place in a relaxed atmosphere.

First, when we asked JO about the appeal of his second album “Yukiakari,” he answered, “This past year, we’ve released many singles throughout the spring, summer, fall, and winter, but this winter is the culmination, so we’re excited to announce that we’ll be releasing new &TEAM singles this year. This is an album that will be the beginning of my future, so I hope everyone will listen to it a lot.”

MAKI also shared an anecdote, saying, “Since it’s a winter album, I thought I’d wear warm clothes for the photo shoot, but I ended up shooting with sleeveless clothes while it was snowing outside.” When FUMA asked, “Was it cold?”, they answered, “It was cold, but their passion for this song was amazing, so it was surprising how passionate they were!”, and the members said, “Oh!”.

They also talked about “Mikazuki no Wish”, which the members were involved in producing for the first time for this album. When YUMA asked EJ, “What kind of lyrics did you come up with?”, EJ answered, “This past year, I’ve spent the four seasons with everyone from LUNE (*&TEAM’s fan name/’E’ has an acute accent). I’m sure the scenery I’ll be spending time with you from now on will be different and fun every time.”

When talking about what they remember from the group’s first arena tour in summer 2024, which was held two years after their debut, HARUA said, “I remember singing together with so many LUNE members. “It’s still there,” he said, and the members agreed, “Yes, yes.”

Afterwards, MAKI talked about the group’s goals, and what is the side of the members that only he knows? In the talk, a certain action by FUMA became a hot topic. The interview, which was so exciting that the staff asked them to “roll it up,” is now available for free on ABEMA.
