キズ (kizu) "1st last album" 「極楽より極上の雨」 release

In other interviews Lime said that they are all very different in their tastes and even their goals within the band, like each of them is a frontman.
But at the same time they are very close and tightly knit.

For example, in a recent Rock and Read interview:

— People say you get along really well. Has that harmony remained unchanged?

Kyonosuke: We’ve always gotten along well.

Lime: Yeah, we really have great relationships (laughs). Even if one of us messes up, we forgive each other easily.

Reiki: Exactly. We take everything calmly, in a good way.

Yue: Even when all four of us are in the dressing room together, no one ever feels awkward or uncomfortable.
I’ve heard that in some bands, the dressing room can be a heavy place.

Lime: (laughs) Sometimes members from other bands run away into our dressing room to hide.

— Are you still interested in each other as people?

Yue: Yeah, the interest never fades. For example, Lime is always getting into new hobbies, and it’s really fun to watch.

Lime: “Always getting into new hobbies” sounds kind of weird (laughs). Like it’s a bad thing.

Yue: Let me rephrase — “in a good way” (laughs).

Kyonosuke: Even though his interests change, there’s a certain consistency to it.
He just knows how to find cool things in all sorts of areas.
I think it shows a lot of flexibility.

Lime: Flexibility — that’s what it comes down to.

— Even with the band’s growing popularity and the changes around you, have you managed to keep the same atmosphere within the group?

Lime: It feels like nothing’s changed. It’s just the same as when we used to play at Shibuya REX.

Yue: Yeah, nothing’s really changed.

Reiki: I feel like my respect for them actually grows year by year.
Normally, when you’ve been friends with someone for a long time, you stop expecting new things from them.
But because we’re in the same band, every year I find even more reasons to admire these guys.
I think I’ve even learned how to show care — in a good way.

Raimu: …You weren’t the type of guy to say things like that!

Reiki: Uh… I’m joking!

Yue: We all heard that very clearly (laughs).

Lime: I guess he just couldn’t say it out loud before.
But I think he always felt that way.
