3rd place in “March’s favorite” grabbed by MBius

BirthdayJAPAN staff:First of all, congratulations on winning 3rd place in "March's favorite"!

How does it feel to be ranked 3rd this time?

Mr. HIKARU: Frankly, I was surprised!

MBius won! It's not really, but I thought it was a ranking that was achieved together.

BirthdayJAPAN staff:Did you originally know that it was ranked in 3rd place?

Mr. HIKARUYes! I knew about it, but this was the first time I'd heard (from the explanation earlier) that the decision was made solely by fan votes.

BirthdayJAPAN staff: That's right! From the moment we started voting, I was impressed by how enthusiastically everyone at MBius called out for votes. 

Mr. HIKARUMBius has something to say, “Let’s spread the word!” (lol)

I think that's the great thing about MBius!

BirthdayJAPAN staff:Do you also check the missionary activities of MBius members?

Mr. HIKARUWhen I check up on myself from time to time, I see (MBius) posting things like that, and I always feel grateful when I look at them.

BirthdayJAPAN staff: (Introducing messages from users received in the monthly recommendation ranking)

Can you give a message to those who participated in the vote this time?

Mr. HIKARUFirst of all, thank you very much to everyone at MBius.

It's no exaggeration to say that MBius won, so I'm really happy.

I always feel supported, and this time I felt it firsthand.

I felt like I couldn't live without MBius, so I hope we can continue to work together!

Maison B is only possible with the support of MBius

BirthdayJAPAN staff:I think the fans put out support advertisements for HIKARU during the audition program he previously appeared on!

Favorite advertisement (BirthdayWhat did you think when you first learned that there was a support method called advertising/support advertising?

Mr. HIKARUI didn't know about the support method of ``fans putting out advertisements,'' so when I found out about it, I was surprised and thought, ``What is that?''

BirthdayJAPAN staff: How did you feel when you found out that HIKARU's own support advertisement was being published?

Mr. HIKARUI actually went to see what was on display at Seibu Shinjuku Station and Seibu Ikebukuro Station!

When you exit the ticket gate, there's a boom in front of you! So, does everyone who rides the Seibu Line see this? At first I was surprised.

When I saw it for the first time, I was so happy that I wanted to shout out loud, "This is me! Everyone, look!" (lol)

BirthdayJAPAN staff：Does it give you strength when your fans put out endorsement ads and express their support?

Mr. HIKARUIt's very empowering.

MBius always makes me feel like I'm not alone, that we're not alone.

I believe that Maison B is only possible with the support of MBius.

BirthdayJAPAN staff:When do you feel like you're not alone?

Mr. HIKARUThis is also the reason why MBius won this time.

There are MBius who say "Ganbare!" during live talks, and MBius who always responds to our posts on SNS...

I feel like they are always watching and supporting me.

A struggling first year as a Maison B

BirthdayJAPAN staff: Congratulations on celebrating your 1st anniversary since your debut in February!

How has the year been since your debut?

Mr. HIKARUTo be honest, it's still a long way off, I guess it's only the first year.

It was a time when I was still struggling.

Of course I am still struggling!

There were many opportunities to get closer to MBius through our regular live show "-AZITO-", and it was a year where I felt that I still had to hone my skills.

BirthdayJAPAN staff: Looking back on the past year, is there anything that sticks out in your memory?

Mr. HIKARUI've been doing regular live shows with ``-AZITO-'' since June, and I loved every time we talked about how we could make MBius enjoy it, and the excitement I felt when we released a new song and performed it for the first time.

“-AZITO-” only happens once every two months, so I was really looking forward to it.

BirthdayJAPAN staff：Did you all decide on the direction and production of the live performance through discussion?

Mr. HIKARUWe will decide together while consulting with KEN THE 390 and the company.

It's an environment where they talk to each other and say, ``That's great! That's great!'' Basically, they prioritize what we want to do.

BirthdayJAPAN staff：Is there anything that HIKARU values when performing live?

Mr. HIKARUDuring "-AZITO- Vol.2", there was a solo corner for all the members.

I did a solo dance, but I thought it would be boring to see it just being cool, so I added some interesting elements.

We wanted it to be a live show that fans could enjoy together, rather than just watching it, so I think it's a live show where MBius can participate!

I think this is also connected to Maison B's live performance.

BirthdayJAPAN staff:What are your memories with everyone at MBius?

Mr. HIKARUDuring our 1st anniversary anniversary live "-ONE-" in February, there was a surprise at the end that none of us members knew about.

Just when I thought it was the end of the live performance, a cracker suddenly sounded like "Bang!" from behind, and then the video sent by MBius started playing...

I felt that many MBius people were supporting me.

I think the surprise that day was a moment I will never forget.

Recently, I've been in charge of visuals and cool looks!

BirthdayJAPAN staff：I'm sure you've been receiving passionate support from everyone at MBius, but what do you think is your charm?

Mr. HIKARUI don't know if I can say this myself... (lol)

I'm in charge of Maison B's visuals, but recently I've been aiming not just for visuals, but for a unique singing voice.

You are now in charge of Maison B's Ikebo.

BirthdayJAPAN staff：Is there a song that you think shows your cool side?

Mr. HIKARUI'm practicing singing while I'm active, so I think I'm better now than when I debuted!

Of course, my voice in the previous songs is good, but I think the 2nd EP that I'm currently working on will convey my charm the most!

I would be happy if you could look forward to it.

My dream as Maison B is to "become a unique being"

BirthdayJAPAN staff：How did the song “Friends”, which was released on your 1st anniversary, come about?

Mr. HIKARUKEN THE 390 told me that he wanted to make a song that he could sing along with at a live performance.

All members participated in writing the lyrics based on the theme of "We're in this together."

BirthdayJAPAN staff:Do you have a particular favorite part?

Mr. HIKARUThere's a lyric that goes, ``I met friends in the middle of a big dream,'' and I think that ``in the middle of a big dream'' is really nice.

Our lyrics say, ``We're still on the way! We still have big dreams!''

I like the lyrics the most because I can understand the meaning of going forward together with the friends I met!

BirthdayJAPAN staff:What is HIKARU's big dream?

Mr. HIKARUAs Maison B, I have a dream of meeting many MBius and growing the group.

My dream is for Maison B to become a unique hip-hop boy group.

Also, all seven members have their own unique personalities, so I hope we can become a group where each member can play an active role in a different place.

Personally, I would like to become a person who can be active in many fields, such as modeling or the 2.5-dimensional stage that I have recently become interested in.

BirthdayJAPAN staff：Are there any specific challenges you would like to take on as a group in the future?

Mr. HIKARUI don't think it's easy to be unique, so I want to sing songs that no one has ever done before and do things that break the concept of a boy group!

BirthdayJAPAN staff: We are rooting for you too!

Message from HIKARU to MBius

BirthdayJAPAN staff:Finally, could you give a message to everyone at MBius?

Mr. HIKARUFirst of all, thank you to everyone at MBius!

I'm not good at talking, and I'm not good at updating social media...

From MBius' point of view, there may be times when I wonder if I'm getting the support, but I always get the support.

We always receive encouragement and energy from MBius' comments and messages, so we will continue to support them, and we hope that MBius will also support us!

Thank you for your continued support!

Summary

How did you like Maison B HIKARU's interview?

While listening to the story, it was impressive to see HIKARU calling the fans' names, "MBius", every time they spoke.

Also, when he was talking about the surprise of the anniversary live, he seemed unable to express it in words, remembering what happened at that time.

I am looking forward to working with you and hope that this wonderful relationship of mutual respect will create further synergies in the future.😊

This time, everyone's desire to "support your push!" has led to us being ranked 3rd in the monthly push rankings, and led to the interview.✨

Once again, thank you for voting for our monthly favorite ranking.
