Azuki: When we release our next album, I want each song to have a different genre of music! I’m sure it will be very challenging! I think one of the best things about i☆Ris is each member can sing and perform in any style, so we want to keep singing despite of the music genre!

Music equals America and America equals music. We are expecting the fans to be really energetic and full of passion! Among all those Japanese idols, we recognize ourselves as powerful, loud, energetic idols so we want to give our absolute best performance in order to lead us to the next performance here again! That’s our goal here in Los Angeles!!
