MBius is “a member of the same team”

BirthdayJAPAN staff：.First of all, let's start with the monthly recommended ranking "5Moon Push” No.3Congratulations!

Mr. MASATO:Thank you! !

BirthdayJAPAN staff：MASATO's birthday is5Since it's the month of the month, all the fans took part in the voting!

No.3How does it feel to be ranked in the top spot?

Mr. MASATO: Yes, I'm very happy.

（MBius)XI knew that people were voting for it.

Something like this…I'm really happy that I finally made it (to the rankings).

BirthdayJAPAN staff:Did you know that fans are excited to vote on their favorites?

Mr. MASATO: That's right!

It's not like I'm doing an ego search (lol).

While investigating,MBiusis better than “5I had heard that people were voting for the monthly favorite ranking, so I knew it was getting popular.

I also knew about the existence of rankings, so3I was very happy to be ranked in first place.

BirthdayJAPAN staff：Maison BTo all of you,3moon,4moon,5It has been ranked in consecutive months!

From the moment voting begins,MBiusEveryone really made it exciting!

Every time there is an interim announcement or results announcement,MBiusIt was very impressive to see everyone tagging their posts and spreading the word.

Mr. MASATO: Thank you.

Now we2nd EPI'm working on the production, and in the process I'm doing crowdfunding with ``Ubugoe''.

To those who are participating in crowdfunding,EPSuggest songs such as "Which one do you like?" and work together.EPWe are planning to create a.

Including such things,MBiusI don't mean "fans and artists," but rather "members of the same team."…I have that feeling.

So once again, I'm really grateful that they're actively working to spread the word about us.

BirthdayJAPAN staff：.From usualMBiusHave you checked the voices of these people?

Mr. MASATO: That's right.

This time, while we were spending time together during the production process,MBius people tooXYaInstagram、DMAnd I'm happy to hear positive reactions and comments like, ``That's what I liked,'' or ``I like this part of the lyrics.''

Become Maison B and open yourself up more and more

BirthdayJAPAN staff：You will turn 25 on your next birthday. What kind of year do you want to have?

Mr. MASATO: To be honest, I don't really feel it.

I sometimes think, ``I was a student the other day,'' but then I think, ``Oh, I'm already 25 years old.''

When I was little, I thought ``25 years old is quite an adult,'' but to be honest, I don't really feel that way.

But I don't know why...I feel like I'm an adult all at once.

I don't know if I'll be around the same age (lol)

So, I'm thinking that I would like to create a more mature atmosphere! (lol)

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

How do you feel after receiving the message?

Mr. MASATO:I'm really happy!

It's true that people often say, "You're better when you're smiling."

Up until now, I've never been very good at showing my true self, but as I've been doing Maison B's activities lately, I've become more open-minded.

As we grow older, there are so many things we want to hide.

I personally felt this acutely from around the time I entered university...

I felt like I couldn't really express myself, but since joining Maison B, I've been able to open up more and more.

I wish I could continue to discover a new version of myself at the age of 25.

BirthdayJAPAN staff：Have you discovered anything new about yourself recently?

Mr. MASATO: Did you discover it recently? !

I haven't discovered it recently, but I'd like to admit it...

I feel like I'm a bit of a flop, or rather, I'm not very strong.

I didn't want to admit it, but recently I've started to admit it, thinking, ``Surprisingly, I'm like that'' (lol)

So I guess it's getting a little easier! (lol)

BirthdayJAPAN staff：Certainly, I often hear from MBius members that ``MASATO-san is actually an interesting person'' (lol)

How do you feel about that?

Mr. MASATO: No, I don't know if it's funny, but I was told this once by someone close to me (lol)

One day, a male cameraman who shoots YouTube suddenly said,

“MASATO-san, you want to draw out a little more!”

Things like “That person is definitely interesting!”

I once ran into him while he was talking to the members.

I think I may have fallen into some strange trap (lol)

I was like, “There’s something wrong with that!” (laughs)

BirthdayJAPAN staff: That's right!

So, that means we might see a new MASATO in the future! (lol)

Mr. MASATO: I don't know, but I think it would be nice if I could show it to you (lol)

BirthdayJAPAN staff:Could you give a message to the fans who participated in the voting this time?

Mr. MASATO:I am truly grateful to MBius.

Right now, we're making our own music, and we really want to share it with the outside world and get people to know more about us.

All the members really want to have as many opportunities as possible, and MBius understands that feeling and actively communicates this to the outside world...

We ourselves feel, ``Thank you so much for everything!!!''

Thank you for your continued support! !

A support advertisement that remains in its form: “We have to work really hard.”

BirthdayJAPAN staff:MASATO, do you know about birthday advertisements and support advertisements?

Mr. MASATO: Yes, yes. MBius posted it and I saw it.

BirthdayJAPAN staff: Actually, birthday advertisements and support advertisements originated from Korean support culture. What did you think when you first learned about this culture of support?

Mr. MASATO:When I was a student, I liked K-POP, so I knew about its existence.

However, when I was in high school in Shizuoka, I didn't see many support advertisements like those at the station.

When I moved to Tokyo for university, K-Pop was just becoming popular, so I had the feeling that no matter what station I went to, there was something going on.

When I was watching TV or YouTube, I thought, ``I feel familiar,'' and it turned out to be someone I had seen in a support advertisement.

So, I think it's a great thing and a blessing for artists to put out advertisements about their favorites in places where people can see them based on information from their fans.

It feels great to be the one being supported.

BirthdayJAPAN staff: Have you ever actually gone to see your own support advertisements or birthday advertisements?

Mr. MASATO:Since I was born in May and the audition was aired in May, I was sent an ad to support the event, so I went to take pictures!

With two shots!

BirthdayJAPAN staff: How did you feel when you saw your own advertisement actually being published?

Mr. MASATO:I didn't really feel it.

At that time, I really felt like I wasn't myself.

At that time, I went from being just a student to appearing in the media, so for me, it was kind of meh, or rather, I was like, ``Is there something out there?''

BirthdayJAPAN staff:Would it be helpful for MASATO if MBius put out birthday ads and support ads to convey our feelings of support?

Mr. MASATO:I think it will be really helpful!

As I said earlier, I'm happy just because the fans are supporting me.

However, when I see them leave a tangible legacy like that, I also feel like I have to work really hard and I want to make them happy.

On stage, I want to express the emotion of the day.

BirthdayJAPAN staff：In February, you celebrated your 1st anniversary since your debut. congratulations!

Including your pre-debut, it's been about 1 year and 8 months. How has your year been as Maison B?

Mr. MASATO:I just heard that it's been about 1 year and 8 months since our pre-debut, and I'm thinking, ``It's surprising that it's only been that long.'' We've been living a rich life.

I'm good friends with the members and we've been together for a long time, so I think we have memories that span more than 1 year and 8 months.

When you say 1 year and 8 months, that's right...

Considering that my high school life is not over at all and I am only at the halfway point, I feel that my days have been quite fulfilling.

BirthdayJAPAN staff: Since you started working as Maison B, what do you think has changed the most or has grown?

Mr. MASATO：I'm an artist, so I think it's my job to be cool, but on the other hand, I'm less cool than before.

When I stand on stage, I can now express myself without thinking about anything.

I'm not usually the type to talk that much, but when I'm on stage, I don't get nervous because I'm in front of people.

I recently realized that ``I'm the type of person who can express myself unexpectedly.''

BirthdayJAPAN staff：Is there anything MASATO-san considers important when going on stage?

Mr. MASATO：I'm basically the type of person who wants to express my emotions that day.

I don't want to make too many decisions.

I want to express my emotions exactly as they are that day, so I don't really decide in advance how I'm going to do it.

Therefore, I have to prepare stock on a daily basis, so I am personally conscious of making preparations in advance and doing the actual work freely.

BirthdayJAPAN staff: I think you had many opportunities to interact with fans through your one-man live and 1st anniversary live. Do you have any memories or memorable moments with MBius?

Mr. MASATO：We held a release event at the time of our debut, and I feel that the distance between us and MBius has become much smaller during that period.

We've been touring various places, mainly in the Kanto region, and there are fans who come every time, and there are even people who come to special events, so much so that our faces and names match, so I feel like we've really grown closer.

In the end, a release party was held at EX THEATER ROPPONGI, but the bond we had built up until then was to explode in our final one-man live...

This series of events left a lasting impression on me because I felt like we were building something together.

BirthdayJAPAN staff:When I listened to him talk, I really felt that we are a group that works together as one with everyone in MBius!

Mr. MASATO:Thank you!

What I would like to take on as an individual as Maison B

BirthdayJAPAN staff:What kind of things would you like to try in the future? First, please tell us what you would like to challenge as a group.

Mr. MASATO: There are so many of them!

Our common goal is to perform on bigger and bigger stages.

There is a song called ``Time Capsule'' that we wrote and composed for the first time, and in it there is a part by member LYU that says ``10 years later, Tokyo Dome will be Maison B's home.''

My ultimate goal is to become an artist who performs at Tokyo Dome.

In the process, I think we have to step up one step at a time.

I really feel like we want to climb to the next stage around 2024 or 2025.

BirthdayJAPAN staff: Thank you. MASATO-san, what do you think is the appeal of Maison B?

Mr. MASATO:I guess the charm of Maison B is its “individuality”!

When you take a quick look at the seven members, you'll notice that each one of them is completely different...and there are two members who are a mix.

All of our members have different faces and looks, so I don't think there's anything like "I can't tell which one is this person or that!" just because of their looks.

In addition to that, the contents are also very unique.

We think that we are a rather interesting group with such unique personalities.

BirthdayJAPAN staff:What do you think is your unique personality?

Mr. MASATO：At 184cm tall, I'm the tallest on the team, and I think that's one of my strengths.

Also, in terms of appearance, I think it's more masculine or rather rugged (lol).

He was very cheerful on the inside, and I was once told things like ``a big man with a kind heart'' and ``a monster with a kind heart'' (lol)

There is a gap in that, and I think that's what makes me attractive.

BirthdayJAPAN staff:thank you. Next, Mr. MASATO, personally, is there anything you would like to try in the future?

Mr. MASATO：Right now, I'm a little interested in acting and want to take on the challenge.

BirthdayJAPAN staff：So, is there anything you would like to do with your fans in the future?

Mr. MASATO：Currently, we are producing music together as MBius, but I would like to meet in person and have a meeting (lol)

Right now, I present it to MBius and ask, ``Which one do you prefer?'' I don't think there are many artists who do this...

I wonder what would happen if we met in real life and brought MBius into the meeting place (lol)

I don't know how it will turn out, but I'd like to try it someday!
