Luce, who has decided on her 1st album and first tour! Talking about her memories of this summer and her enthusiasm for the future! Luce Twinkle Wink☆ photo & exclusive interview

This summer, "Luce Twinkle Wink☆" ("Luce") performed at "Animelo Summer Live 2017 -THE CARD-" ("Anisama"), a longtime dream of theirs, and captured the attention of 25,000 people with their impressive performance. This summer was a season of great leaps forward for the girls, as they showed that they are the one and only group that aims to bridge the gap between ani-song and idol music.

Luce released their first album "LLTW☆" on January 10, 2018 (Wed.), and will hold their first live tour "Luce Twinkle Wink☆ 1st LIVE TOUR -LLLTW☆-~t*u*n*i*n*g~" in Kawasaki and Osaka with the album. They are already aiming for a new stage.

This time, we interviewed the girls and asked them about their current state of mind as they step out onto the stage of their dreams. In addition, they were photographed at "Mikado," a game center in Tokyo, in connection with their latest single "Fight on! We hope you enjoy the visuals as well.

What do you think of Luce's unique "Gamers" personality?

─ This time we filmed at a game arcade.

Yukino Usami (Usami): I love music games, and I was playing one just now. I am currently playing "Bandoli-Girls Band Party! Girls Band Party! and I love Roselia.

Saki Fukazawa ("Fukazawa"): (Ms. Usami) You are very good at music games.

Usami: I'm the type of person who can't hear the sounds around me when I get into it. I love to beat to the rhythm of my favorite music.

Kaho Higaki (Higaki): I used to play games with all my good friends. But I only have one friend who plays games.

Why did you make up the word "everyone"? (Laughs)

Higaki: Recently, I've been playing "Dracula. Oh, another game I want to play is a VR game!　I've never tried it yet, so I've been watching videos of VR games in action.

Fukasawa I like games where I have to do simple tasks endlessly, all the time. I have a hard time playing difficult games. I download new games because I think they look interesting, but then I lose track of how to play them and they just keep piling up.

Saori Itayama (Itayama): I am also not good at games where you have to go through the story in order, and my favorites are games like "Super Smash Bros. When I am losing, I play until I win, and when I win, I am satisfied and quit (laughs). Once I bought a game of "(Detective) Conan" and tried it, but I was like, "What?　What is the evidence in this case? I was like, "What's the evidence for this case?

Fukazawa: Basically, I'm not good at using my head, not just in games.

Itayama I can't really call Saki a moron either. ......

Megumi Nishikiori (Nishikiori): I tend to play games on portable game consoles. For Nintendo 3DS, I play "The Legend of Zelda," "Pokemon," "Shinkage no Kyojin," etc. For PlayStation Vita, I play "Puella Magi Madoka Magica," etc. I play a wide range of games. I buy two kinds of Pokemon and give one to a friend and tell them to level up because I'm going to play against them. When I get stuck in a game, I read a strategy book and say, "It's super easy! I knew that!" and continue playing.

Higaki: I feel like I lose if I buy a strategy book. ......

Nishikiori Eh, why?　You get to know everything, right?　That's good, isn't it?

Higaki I feel guilty about looking at the answers. Maybe that's where the members and I have different personalities.

─ Speaking of games, "Fight on!" is the ending theme song for the TV anime "Gamers," and the choreography also has a game-like feel, doesn't it?

Usami: The choreography is based on the "Gamers" and includes game elements. For example, the punching part.

Nishikori The jumping choreography is like when Mario picks up mushrooms.

Fukasawa They would punch each other.

Higaki We would face each other and punch each other.

Fukazawa Why did you say the same thing?

Itayama I'm sorry, it was an exchange that didn't seem to have a punchline. ......

─ ─ It's a fighting game-like move where you split into two and three people and jump in time with the punches, isn't it?

That's it!

Usami There are various game-like movements, so I think it would be fun to have people look for them.

Itayama: Game-like movements are different from those of humans, so it is quite difficult to express them.

Fukasawa: You have to move with a firm body and say, "Ta-ta-ta-ta". It looks easy, but it is surprisingly difficult.

─ ─ Luce's dance looks light and cute in the PV, but when I actually see it live, I am surprised to see the dance being more vigorous than I expected.

Nishikiori: Yes, I get that a lot.

Itayama: People who like us from the PV are usually surprised at the live performance.

Higaki They are surprised in a good way.

Itayama: Many people like us in that order, so I think Luce's weapon is that their performance is much more intense than I expected when I see them live.

Usami: In our music videos, we are very conscious of making them look cute and idol-like. In live performances, we try to convey the message to the audience with our whole body!　I think that's what we are trying to convey to the audience.

Itayama: "Let them feel it! That's how I feel.

Fukazawa I dance with the energy to fly away!

Itayama: "Fight on!" has encouraging lyrics, so I hope this song will cheer you up.

Usami: I think it is a song that makes you feel the youth. Depending on the listener, it could be a song about love, friendship, or friends, so I hope you will enjoy it in your own way.
