ab: What is your impression of Fukuoka? What do you think about the area?

Shimakura Rika: The food is delicious! I love motsunabe, but I've never eaten it in Fukuoka! I haven't tried the real thing just yet!

Ichioka: I love trains and railways, so it would be great to see the 883-series blue SONIC that runs in the JR Kyushu area. I would also like to see the gorgeous cruise train called "Seven Stars!”

ab: Hopefully you will get a chance to do everything on your check list the next time you are in Fukuoka! You are all active on social media. What has the response been like from fans overseas?

Kiyono: "สวัสดีค่ะ โมโมฮิเมะค่ะ (Hello, I'm Momohime)"! I love Thailand! I am currently studying Thai. So it was amazing to see a message from a Thai person on social media. They wrote, "I will do my best to study Japanese so that I can recreate BEYOOOOOONDS’skits!" I would love to perform overseas!

Satoyoshi: I love watching videos of people dancing to our songs and seeing comments in different languages under our music videos. One day we would like to sing an English version of our songs!

ab: When it comes to the idol industry, is there anything in your daily life that you cannot do without? Can you think of any items that are totally indispensable?

Maeda: We are all interested in makeup. All the members have got items recommended by Satoyoshi Utano. She knows a lot about makeup (lol)!

Hirai: I'm totally addicted to foam rollers! Ishida Ayumi and Kaede Kaga from "MORNING MUSUME 21" (at the time of the interview) also have one, so we messed around with them together while waiting to go on stage at a show.

ab: Thank you for your great answers. Before we wrap things up, do you have a message for your fans at home and overseas?

Takase: BEYOOOOONDS tries to deliver entertainment that can blow people away! We think that fans outside of Japan should be able to enjoy our performances! We do not think that the language barrier is an insurmountable obstacle! Tying this topic back to the name of our group… We want to go beyond our borders and meet lots of people!
