What do you think of “Promise the Star,” your signature song, in this year of energetic activities before your breakup, such as 12 consecutive months of releases and the “COLONiZED TOUR” tour?
St. Chihiro & Chitchi: “Promise the Star” was the first single that the six of us released after we became members of the group, and it’s a song that we have been walking around with the “janitors” of BiSH fans for a long time. I wanted to keep this song alive until the breakup, so I am happy that so many people are listening to it now.
You appeared with Hiromi before you sang the song.
St. Chihiro Chichi: I am from Hachioji City, so I have been working with Hiromi-san at the “Hachioji Kai. As a junior member of the local community, I am indebted to him in many ways. He is like a father to me.
How did you like Hiromi’s songwriting?
Before I came on stage, I kept saying, “I’ve never choreographed a song before! But he did a great job, and we were able to give a good performance of “Promise the Star.
You performed with an audience, and you were allowed to speak out loud.
Aina the End: We always have cleaners on stage, and even though we can’t speak, I feel that they have come along with us with the same passion.
However, I still wanted to hear their voices, so today, for the first time in a long time, I heard their voices saying, “Wow! It made me feel nostalgic and reminded me that this was a live performance, and I felt like I was going back to my roots. It made me happy.
