This time I must eat it! Even if dinner is very rich, I will specially leave some stomach space for da ji pai.

Lead singer Canaco expressed her anticipation for Taiwanese cuisine, particularly the "da ji pai" (large fried chicken cutlet) she missed last year. She humorously stated she would save stomach space for it, even if dinner is abundant. Beyond food, Canaco also wants to experience a Taiwanese foot massage but fears her reactions might be too loud, opting to wait until after the concert.

Faulieu., composed of vocalist Canaco, guitarist Kaho, bassist Ayano, and drummer Mimori, recently joined major record label KING RECORDS and released their first mainstream album, "MiX." The album explores the concept of "duality," blending "Sweet" and "Bitter" musical styles. It features their first anime theme song and incorporates Auto-Tune and varied arrangements, aiming to showcase a new musical direction while retaining the band's signature sound.

I also want to experience Taiwanese foot massage, but I'm worried I might cry out too loudly and affect the performance, so I've decided to go after the concert.

Canaco reflected on their major debut, noting the increased support team and the heightened sense of responsibility. The band has completed a seven-city tour across Japan, enhancing their performance synergy. They've gained recognition through various drama and anime theme songs, inspiring their desire to perform internationally. The members feel their musical understanding has deepened, stage fright has lessened, and their ability to interact with audiences has improved, even communicating through mere glances during performances.

As the number of performances increases, everyone's understanding of the songs deepens; Kaho is not as nervous on stage as before and can interact more freely with the audience; Mimori revealed that during the long periods of traveling together during the tour, they can now understand each other with just a glance when playing, and their ability to interact with the live audience has also improved significantly.
