Iyori Shimizu (back number) Comment
When I hear things like "Asia Tour!!" or "Live show overseas!!!", I tend to get serious and feel like I'm about to get into a deep discussion about our ambitions or the band's image.
But when someone says, "It seems there are people waiting for you," I'm just like, "Oh, really? Then we have to go!"
I'm still a little bit in disbelief, wondering, "Is that true? Are there really enough people for us to play a show?"
I go back and forth between those feelings, feeling both excited and nervous.
But before all that, we have a big job to do here in Japan.
That's how I'm living these days.
I'd be happy if we could meet you somewhere.
Even if we can't, I'm happy just knowing you think of us sometimes or listen to our songs.
