we-re loo%ing forward to the resonses even more. 1e want to hurry and show everyone.

*t feels li%e time has gone by &uic%ly# but it-s nice to see everyone li%e this.

SE02)N: 1e wanted to show eole how we-ve grown# musically. 1e wanted to do

something new for the title song# so we gave it our utmost attention.

,(fter the title song was revealed# there were reactions that it-s a difficult song# and it

feels li%e star scores are lower than e3ected. *t-s actually receiving better resonses

from overseas. 1hat do you thin% about this4

T*55(N: *t-s only been 6 days since we-ve comebac%. * thin% we need to wait a little

longer for resonses. 1hen we first heard this song# we# too# felt that it was difficult. (nd

so we listened to it again# and# the more we listened to it# the better it sounded. *t-s a

song that gets better as you continue to listen to it# so * hoe eole listen to it all year

long.

T(EE0N: 1hen it comes to this song# it was a new challenge for us# too# and there are a

lot of fun elements hidden within it. There are fun arts that emerge as you listen to it. (s

we felt it li%e a erson we come to ass# we thin% others will feel the same way.

,ou-ve become a 7,year old grou now. * thin% there would be things that feel different

from the ast when you stand on stage.

T*55(N: 1e-ve gained some comosure# and we feel that our hysical strength feels

different. 1hile racticing this song# our hysical strength has bettered. (s time goes by#

* feel we have grown more# and * feel more self,esteem in the fact that we are able to

show a greater us and erformances. ( %ind of ride can be felt. (s the years ile u#

rather than fear# * get more of a feeling of comletion/satisfaction. 1or%ing hard li%e this

for such a long time# unchanged# *-ve gained more confidence.

20E0N: 0f all the stages we-ve done thus far# * feel this may be the one where we

have the most fun. 1e have a lot more comosure# and we are able to en8oy it more.

,ou-re a grou that-s comosed of $ girls. There are bound to be conflicts then. 9eing

able to overcome these conflicts is a very imortant asect for a grou to be able to have

a long,run.

ESS*;(: 1henever we get together# we chat away. Even when we aren-t together# we

chat via messengers and things li%e it. 1e tal% about what each of us are doing at the

moment# and also tal% about sending one another selcas.
