...just came back from Korea! look like things was quite serious...

It was a heavy downpour...

...ever had such live experience before?

..Well, a time or two..last time.

How were the audience reaction to BT's performance?

...How was the reaction? hmm... there's a space between the stage and the audience for the reporters and photographers. It was quite a space with policemen standing by. The distance from the audience was very far. However we're still able to feel the excitement.

This time were there Korean fans waiting at the airport?

Yes, we were warmly welcomed at the airport.

There were many Japanese fans too.

Really? I didn't know.. So glad to hear that. How was it? were there any unhappiness? (^_^)

I was staying back in Japan so I didn't know much about the actual situation over there except hearing from letters and interviews. However according to friends from Fish Tank on various situation, honestly, many were expecting to meet all members during the dinner gathering*. Not knowing only Utah was the only one turned out. Many fans of other members were quite upset but of course Utah's fans were delighted. I think it's good that Utah appeared in this gathering.

Indeed! his popularity was increased I guess.

Around 100 times! (^_^) By the way there's also a delightful report on the winner of the lucky draw who got (your) costume**. It was really a good news. Did the members prepared the presents specially for this event?

Well, there wasn't anything specific in my mind, so I just choose that costume.

Which was the costume that you chosen?

It was the first costume I wore during last concert, a red one, the one I wore during Budokan live?

Wow! that's really delightful!

Delightful indeed, however it wasn't a very practical present though. What can one do with it? for decorative purpose maybe...

Just try it on, maybe (^_^), or just keep it as her own treasure. Nevertheless, since you guys had reached Korea one day before the live, what had you all been doing?

We reached early, around noon if I am not wrong? Cause we departed early in the morning. I sleep till evening, after that went off for BBQ dinner with staff from both countries.

It was in the middle of the period whereby many incidents were happening, won't you feel uneasy during the trip?

Of course I was very worried. I think everyone thought the same. Although there weren't any incident whereby Japanese group were banned from appearing in performance or warned to be self-disciplined, such delicate problem can be seen on newspaper and TV news. We couldn't stay out of this. Seriously we were considering whether we should go. Regarding this problem, We'd heard from those fans who were going and the organizer; they really wished us can go. So, we made the decision over here. What we had considered was, at this critical period, the trip had became meaningful and we add meaning to it if we insist on going. If we were scared and step back than we'll never be able to start...

To make decision on the trip take some courage too.

If the thing can't be work out, there's nothing we can do, ... even if people throw eggs to us there's nothing we can do, I feel.

* Dinner gathering organized by Fish Tank in Korea. Fish Tank members who joined the concert trip get to take part in this gathering. Utah turned out at the dinner and carried out the lucky draw.
