Nao: On my way home after the photo shoot on this day, completely by chance, I ran into Saga-kun, who was shopping.

Where did you find him?

Nao: Oh, I can’t tell you that. Whether or not he was with someone is a secret too!

Saga: Well if you put it that way, it totally seems like I was with someone!

Nao: Hahaha. He was alone (laugh)

Saga: I was working in Shibuya earlier and so went shopping after. Then, at this time, all five of us were surprisingly in Shibuya.

Weren’t there fans in the area?

Okiura: Of course, there were tons of high school girls; it was terrible. We were guarding against them.

Saga: Oh, but I was behind the high school girls nodding in agreement when they said things like “ah, it’s alice nine!” (laugh)

Nao: The cameraman’s picture-taking style was really cool here. The pictures we being taken so quickly you couldn’t see the lens.

Hiroto: But… even though the style was the same, four years passing changed it into this.

What do you mean by that?

Show: The first artist photos we took after forming the band were done under the very same circumstances. Though we took them at the Ginza intersection instead. When everyone was in full makeup wearing funeral-like clothes to take the photos, office workers were coming up to us asking things like, “oh, are you guys into heavy metal?” To think, we went from that to this in four years. Really, it’s a deeply moving thing.

NOTES:
oo1. This is probably one of the ‘first’ artist photos they’re referring to ↴
