-First of all, let us know how you felt about first solo concert in Seoul.
Joon: I think fans enjoyed more than I expected. If we have a chance, we definitely want to have a solo concert in Japan.
Mir: It was like a dream. It's a pity we could do it only in Korea. Desperate to have one in Japan.
-We're looking forward to it! Well, your 2nd single "Baby U!" will be released. Since the debut with "Your Luv", how did MBLAQ as a group improved? If you have any specific episodes, please share with us.
Seungho: It's Japanese language. While we spent a month here, we had many opportunities to talk or sing in Japanese. I think it helped a lot.
Mir: Regarding songs, we were nervous and lind of awkward in "Your Luv", but we got used to Japanese style of song making with 2nd single.
-The more you get used to, the smoother the process gets. How did you feel about "Baby U!" when you heard for the first time? It has many aspects such as catchy, funky but also unique in a way of mixture of verse and rap.
Mir: I thought "this is the title track" lol.
Joon: So did I. I also felt it's a speedy catchy song.
G.O: It sounds more relaxed than "Your Luv". Instead, I tried to express this song with more powerful vocal, so I'd be glad if you noticed my intention.
-As you mentioned, we're also curious about how you tried and prepared for the recording.
G.O: I controlled myself and tried to accomplish the completeness of the song.
Joon: I kept practice singing since I join the vocal parts.
Mir: Well, I also tried rappping in Japanese, so paid full attention to pronounciation.
-Did you have any difficulties or successful experience through recording?
Seungho: I made same mistakes on a particular pronounciation, so it took me long.
G.O: No matter how the lyrics are great, meaning and feeling inside won't be expressed properly if we sounded unnatural. So I really focuced on pronouncing every word correctly.
-So this song is the result of all your efforts. By the way, were you all together when other members recorded own parts?
G.O: Yes, we stayed all together.
-Then were you impressed by their attitude and efforts?
G.O: Yes, but we rather enjoyed recording together than paying attention to each other.
Cheondung: We all tried to be original in own parts, and worked as one in shared parts. It was really meaningful time.
-That's great. "Baby U!" has a line "I'll stand up only for you". Do you agree with this strong will?
G.O: Can't agree more.
Joon: This is the song about a man who leads a woman, so I'd feel the same.
Seungho: That's right. I think men should take the lead as well.
-How manly you are. How about chreography? Please give us some hints.
Seungho: It's unique chreo which matches the song. Please look forward to the live performance.
-Apart from "Baby U!", you revealed your matured charm with "Again". Please share your first impression of this song.
G.O: It's sad and sentimental J-pop ballad. I found it easy to express the feelings.
Joon: I feel we became much close to J-pop taste.
-Because it's emotional, sensitive expression is required. What did you focus on while recording this song?
Seungho: I always pay attention to all parts I get. I pronounced even more carefully to make it emotional.
Joon: I also thought we should be delibirate in recording, so it took us quite long to finish.
-Then you've seen other members' efforts in this song as well.
Joon: Yes, I'd been watching and listening. As I listened others singing, I thought "wow, they're really good".
Cheondung: I felt the same way. Listened to hyungs' good singing and it made me feel "I should work harder!"
-You seem to get good influence by members. Well in both songs "Baby U!" and "Again", what is your favorite line in lyrics or melody?
Seungho: I like "the more we pretend to be strong, the more we hurt each other".
G.O: Mine is also from "Baby U!". "I'll stand up only for you, I'll never let you be alone again".
Joon: My favotie is "Nothing to do on Holiday" from "Again".
Cheondung: I like my rap part in "Baby U!". "I'll think about you longer than forever".
Mir: It's also from "Baby U!". "I won't hand you over to anyone, I don't want to"
-I can see your characters in your choices. "Your Luv-wasabii remix-" the different version from original is also included. What did you think of it when you first heard? Any particular parts you like?
Seungho: I like the way it sounds urban stylish with simple groove.
Mir: It's totally different from the original rhythm track. I think it's unique and attractive.
-What have you gained through making 2nd single "Baby U!" which shows new side of MBLAQ?
Mir: After finishing everything, my anticipation for this single grew up so high.
Joon: Me too. We've gained confidence to promote and perform happier than ever after this!
-What do you wish to archieve in Japanese activity?
Mir: I want #1 on oricon chart.
Seungho: Let's see. I hope to receive lots of love and support from Japanese fans.
G.O: Your support truly become our power.
-MBLAQ andd fans really think of each other. At last, please leave a message to fans in Japan.
Seungho: We'll visit Japan in October, so please keep supporting!
Cheondung: We will see you in more grown up appearance.
Joon: Thank you so much for waiting for us without forgetting. I'm going to pay you back with great performance that I won't regret. Really appreciate your support.
