AKIRA commented: “Naoki was unable to attend, but I think we were able to express ‘SLIM which can only be voiced by 14 people’ and frankly, it was a really fun live tour. Due to the crown crisis. , the original members voluntarily retired. In the beginning, we had to revive the 20th anniversary year, which is a great milestone, and we had many handicaps and difficulties. For LDH, the fact that a completely different group in the form and in members from 20 years ago, inheriting the EXILE name and being able to spread the EXILE entertainment is a deeply moving experience. It was a truly memorable experience in my life, “he said.

On this tour, EXILE is good at forming a single vertical line, which is familiar from “Choo Choo TRAIN”, but it turns out they are not very good at forming an “oblique line”. When this argument came up, Kuroki immediately mentioned NESMITH’s name, saying, “This is Nes-san”, but NAOTO explained how NESMITH was found to be the “culprit”. “ I’ve been curious for a long time, so I asked the director to watch the video from the camera directly above 10 minutes before the show and I found the culprit, ” Kuroki replied. ) What you see is a really nice “, and said that EXILE that failed to make the” diagonal line “was not recorded.

But when I played ‘Kingyo Tsuma’, it wasn’t cool, it was hot.” NAOTO, who is small in stature, said: “I want to be like AKIRA-san or Naoki, and when they say ‘in order of height’, I want to do it with a vibe like ‘I don’t care if I’m in the back row. ‘”, quoting the senior names AKIRA and Kobayashi. . On the other hand, AKIRA revealed the disadvantage of being big, saying, “Usually Naomi and I are the absolute basis when it comes to group performances and joint techniques. We are often trampled on because we are great.”
