They’re a three-piece male band with a wide range, and they have various albums, so I’m curious how much of that their fans actually know.

I thought they really like that kind of image.

Even if there are similar songs, not a single one is the same—that’s the impression I got.

I also think they have numbers that make you want to shout along with catchy, nonsensical English.

It really lifts everyone’s spirits, doesn’t it?

Since they’re a band, their live performances leave a stronger impression than the recordings.

If you get the chance, definitely go see them!
