Interview Now - FAKY -(3/3)

  |  Next
FAKY

We really appreciate all the warm support we've received from people all over the world!

ab: Mikako, I saw on social media that you came back to your hometown Fukuoka in January. What about you guys? Have you been to Fukuoka many times?

Anna
Mikako
Anna: I've lost count (lol)! My grandpa is here, so I used to come to visit him when I was small. I came last year during some free time as well!

ab: Oh, really?! You guys are pretty familiar with Fukuoka. What kind of local things would you recommend?

Mikako: The food is absolutely delicious! I love food and eating! When I was in Fukuoka, I thought everything was delicious, like that was just a normal thing. But when I went to Tokyo, I was like “What? Is the food in Fukuoka particularly delicious?" (lol) I'm pretty confident in the quality of the local cuisine!

ab:Do you have any favorite Fukuoka specialties?

Mikako:"Mizutaki!" There is a way to enjoy the dish, which involves drinking the soup first, right? I always follow that order when I'm having Mizutaki!

ab: If you go to eat with Mikako, then she can explain what to do!

Lil' Fang: We haven't been together yet (lol)! Let's go today!

Everyone: Hahaha (everyone burst out laughing)!

Anna: Personally, I like the river that flows past Canal City Hakata! I love the night view around that area!
ab: Definitely! I have lived in Fukuoka for ages, but still find the area so beautiful! By the way... Lil' Fang, is it true you're a big fan of anime? Are there any titles that left a deep impression on you?

Lil' Fang
Akina
Lil' Fang: Yes! I tend to watch the same anime over and over! I'm currently watching "鋼の錬金術師" (EN: Fullmetal Alchemist) all the way through for the fifth or sixth time! I'm enjoying the anime version of the story, it's actually a little bit different from the original manga! One of my favorite scenes is when the philosopher's stone​ is discovered… and the transmutation array is formed... and the section involves Tucker… (*a few sections have been omitted to avoid any spoilers)

Everyone: This is starting to go into a lot of detail (lol)!

Lil' Fang: (Speaking fast) My absolute favorite scene involves the military individuals embracing Ed!!

ab: Thank you so much for such a passionate response! Would you mind telling us a cute feature or characteristic of the member sitting beside you? Something that you might not have told them before?

FAKY
Mikako: Yeah, sure! So, I'll start by saying something to Lil' Fang. I probably have not told her before, but she's got such beautiful hands!

Lil' Fang: I've never been told that before (lol)! So, now I'll say something about Anna. I've not said this in public, but she's got a great bum! She's got the best butt!

Anna: Hahaha (lol)! Recently I think Akina has become super sexy when she dances!

Akina: Come on, that's enough (lol)!

Everyone: (Laughter and cheers from all the members)

Akina: I like Mikako"s fingernails!

Mikako: Have you just noticed them now (lol)?

Akina: No, no! I've always thought they were little and kawaii!

ab: Oh, that was so much fun! Finally, do you have a message to all the FAKY MANIA (fans) and asianbeat readers both inside Japan and abroad?

Akina: Thank you so much for your continuous support! We appreciate all the support that people from all over the world have shown us, not only Japan. We wish to be able to travel and meet as many people as we can this year!
FAKY
Lots of fans came to FAKY's first solo performance in Fukuoka! The final song of the set was “Who We Are!”
