Always Giving It Their All! A Full Throttle Interview☆

Please introduce the unit, as well as yourselves.

YUI: I’m YUI, a vocalist!

RIO: I’m RIO, and I’m also a vocalist.

MEGU: We’re the performers, MEGU and—

DAI: DAI.

YUI: Also, he’s not here right now, but IV, our pal who does the soundwork for FT4 and works the DJ booth at our lives, says hi too!

Please tell us the origins of the name of your unit.

YUI: There’s quite a lot to say about the origins of our unitname, but… well, we’re always going at full throttle! We’re always accelerating at top speed no matter what we do! We can’t be stopped! Such were the feelings behind our decision of the name!

Please tell us what your individual duties within the unit are.

MEGU: I’m in charge of the choreography~. And the emceeing!

DAI: But that’s just you being your usual chatty self, right?

RIO: DAI is in charge of the designing and the restyling of the costumes.

DAI: There’s no one else here but me who could make us look as cool as can be.

MEGU: RIO seems to be the token serious one of FT4, yeah? He even helps IV out sometimes.

DAI: I imagine that IV, too, consults with RIO whenever he has problems with his songwriting.

YUI: What about me?! What am I in charge of?

RIO: You’re in charge of firing up the crowd, aren’t you?

MEGU: To put it another way, you’re in charge of keeping things lively☆

DAI: Well, at an actual live, us performers will be sure to liven things up, though.

YUI: We vocalists won’t lose to you guys either!

RIO: Oi, don’t go off-topic.

MEGU: As expected of our token serious guy, good work bro (lol).

There are both Third Year and Second Year High School students in the unit, so is there an atmosphere of clear distinction between the “Seniors” and the “Juniors”?

YUI: Such an atmosphere existed between DAI and RIO in the past, but nowadays, it doesn’t seem to exist at all. Rather than being divided into seniors and juniors, we’re more like friends! Ah, IV is really scary when he gets mad, though. He’s the most senior-like person in that sense, I guess… Ah, I really shouldn’t have said that! If he finds out that I called him scary, he’ll flip out on me later.

All of you work harmoniously with each other, but when did you first meet?

MEGU: DAI and I met when we were Elementary School students, didn’t we? He had a really sharp look in his eyes back then. Ah, but that doesn’t seem to have changed till now?

DAI: Huuh?! You’re the one who was a total wolf in sheep’s clothing as an Elementary School student. Your eyes weren’t smiling at all.

MEGU: We met RIO and YUI in Middle School, right? I was unexpectedly drop-kicked by YUI during my first meeting with him, y’know?!

DAI: But well, all of us did hit it off pretty quickly, yeah?

Please tell us if there are any places where the five of you have created memories.

MEGU: The four of us would often hang out with IV at the hospital, so it’d be there, I guess?

RIO: We made music there, fooled around like idiots while talking about the most inane of things there, and we occasionally studied there too.

MEGU: We hardly ever studied, though (lol).

DAI: You at least open your textbook before a test, right? Well, it’s not like you could even keep it open for 10 minutes… We also decided on the name of our unit at that hospital, yeah?

MEGU: Yup, yup! I remember that we got so hyped up that the nurses got mad at us.

A Must-See for Fans who Want to Know More About Them♪

Please tell us more about your upcoming album.

RIO: The instrumentals are cool, and I think that it’s an album that is uniquely us. Some of the songs have lyrics that spell out the thoughts and feelings of us members. I hope that our feelings will be able to reach the listeners of the album.

DAI: The photoshoot for the album’s jacket flew by real fast. Everyone had gotten really into it, and we were all fighting over who looked the coolest. Well, the three of them weren’t as good as me, though.

What do you talk about in the dressing room, as well as backstage?

YUI: When I get way too pumped up, I tend to forget what I’m gonna say in the actual performance, or what the next song we’re gonna sing is, so I’m often the only one who’s doing a final check instead.

Please tell us about a topic that has created a buzz among the five of you as of late.

DAI: Ah, it’d be about LIPxLIP, I guess?

MEGU: It has to be about them, right? We’ve really been buzzing about it, right? (lol)

DAI: It has been a while since MEGU and I have seen LIPxLIP at work, but those guys weren’t talking to each other in the waiting room at all.

MEGU: If it were us, the very notion of silence would be completely unthinkable, right? At least someone would definitely be talking, no? And then we got to talking about how amazing LIPxLIP, who’re the complete opposites of us, are. When it comes to work, they’re able to understand each other really well, so maybe they’re using telepathy? That’s how it seems, at least (lol).

DAI: Those guys are performing better than they did back when we watched their dance lessons, no?

MEGU: The two of them are really amusing, aren’t they?☆

Please tell us if you have anything to reveal that’s along the lines of “I haven’t told the other members this, but the truth is…”.

MEGU: It’s kiiinda embarrassing, but I’ll reveal a very special secret! To be honest, I… witnessed YUI drinking DAI’s protein without permission, y’know? Many times too!

DAI: Huuh?!

YUI: Hey, don’t expose me! Wait, that’s not even MEGU’s secret, that’s mine!

MEGU: Ain’t that obvious? My secrets don’t come cheap, y’know?

DAI: I’ve been wondering why it’s been decreasing so quickly as of late… So it was your doing, YUI!

YUI: Ah, MEGU you idiot! Now I won’t be able to get into DAI’s protein anymore!

RIO: Don’t you have the option of just buying your own?

Are there any places that you have gone out with the other members to recently?

RIO: If you’re talking about places we’ve been to recently, we, along with IV, went to MEGU’s family’s vacation home as a group of five, I guess? We’ve been there a few times, but it’s a place that’s a ways off from the city. It’s a nice place that’s surrounded by nature. We messed around till dawn… somehow, it was kind of troublesome.

By the way, is there anything that you would like to do with the other members when Spring arrives?

YUI: I want all of us to take a break and go on a trip together!

RIO: Yeah, going away for a while does sound nice. Also, what do you think about going cherry blossom viewing?

YUI: That sounds great too! Make lunches for us, RIO. I want rice balls, wieners, and omelettes in mine, okay?

RIO: I’d like to make that for you, but I’d have a lot to handle if I had to take everyone’s requests.

YUI: And when it gets warmer, I wanna go out and skateboard as much as I can. You should try it too, RIO, I’ll teach you!

RIO: Sure, why not?

Lastly, please give a message to your fans!

MEGU: Have you guys gotten waaay more interested in us?

DAI: We call our fans “SICKS”, with the intended meaning of being addicted to FT4.

MEGU: Yup, yup! All you guys out there, go ahead and get drunk on us, get drowned in us, and get captivated by us☆

RIO: Yeah, we definitely won’t make you regret it.

YUI: Also! There’s the meaning of being the sixth member of FT4 in “SICKS”! We’ll be continuing to go at full throttle from here on out, so don’t get thrown off and be sure to follow us! Got it, SICKS?!
