───First of all, please introduce yourself.

Yuki Tanaka (Tanaka ): My name is Yuki Tanaka, and my member color is green. I am always very serious, but sometimes I seem to make funny comments to people around me. I get teased a lot.

She is a natural!

Misako Iino (Iino): I can confidently recommend her as a natural like a domestic eel.

Tanaka It's not the kind of thing that makes you go "wow," but the kind of thing that makes everyone shudder once in a while. That is what has been coming to my mind lately (laughs).

Mina Katahira (Katahira ) My name is Mina Katahira. My member color is orange. I am in charge of sub-leader. Do you have a cheerful personality?

Iino: She is the kind of girl who can be a relative to everyone she meets.

Katahira: The sub-leader doesn't do anything particularly noteworthy, but watches over everyone from the shadows.

Tanaka She expresses her opinions firmly in discussions, points out various things after events, and is a proper sub-leader.

Iino You can be confident in him!

Katahira Thank you!

Yotomi Suzuki (Suzuki) Yotomi Suzuki, member color is white. I'm the music officer in the group. I went to music school and can play the clarinet and piano, so I often play the role of explaining about the music.

──I was interested to see that you were credited as a "performance collaborator" in the end roll.

Suzuki: There is a scene in which my character Biwakoji Otoha plays an instrument in an improvisational way while talking, and I actually improvise on the keyboard there.

Iino: My name is Misako Iino. My member color is purple, and I am the leader of the group.

Mitsuho Kobe (hereafter, Kobe) It's not just in case or anything, you are the only leader!

Iino: Since the formation of the group, as the leader, I have been trying to trigger talks and watch over all the members, but at first I was too full of myself... (laughs). (Laughs.) Recently, I have come to understand what each member is good at and what would be interesting for her to talk about, so I think I am now able to act as a leader (of the talk).

Momone Iwabuchi (Iwabuchi) My name is Momone Iwabuchi. My member color is pink and I am called Momo-chan. I am the youngest in charge in the group. I am nothing more than that!

Tanaka I'm in charge of healing the members.

Iino: If I'm in trouble, I'm like Momochan. No matter what I say to him, he gives it back to me.

Kobe I am Momo-chan, the cushion that ruins people. And I am Kobe Mitsuho, called Micchan. Our member color is red. I guess I am the cool beauty ...... among the members.

We are all.......

Kobe: I'm about to get into it! (laugh)

Tanaka He says he is a cool beauty.

Iino That's what I look like, right?

Kobe I am the only Kansai person, so I am a mood-maker, or rather, I am the one in charge of putting the tea on the table. Now that was obviously waiting for a tsukkomi, and I think that's the part where you come in and say, "Hey, hey, hey, hey," but lately everyone's been quiet. Shhhhhh ...... Yes, like that.

Iino It's like Micchan's art, including the self-tsukkomi.

Kobe That's really not good (laughs).

Iino Could you explain the concept of NOW ON AIR as a "super-supportive kotodama transmission unit that delivers your voice to you"?

Iino: The "Kimikoe Audition" in which we participated was a project that focused on the power of the voice, and there was a screening process that looked only at the voice. I myself had told many people, "I want to be in this audition! I was encouraged by the words of the people around me and was able to pass the audition. So I would like to be a unit that can cheer people up through our songs and dialogues.

All of you are right!
