The program will feature a session of two songs: a danceable song written specifically for the program by vocalist Kumaki Yukimaru, and one song from Lucky Kilimanjaro.

◇Comments from WEST. members

◇Daiki Shigeoka

It made me laugh so much. Rakkiri and I are close in age, so I feel like we share a generational connection. It was great to be able to dig deep and ask him about things that are unique to the group. I also had a lot of fun singing the song he wrote for us, so I can't wait to see it on air.

◇Terufumi Kiriyama

The conversation was incredibly entertaining. As for the session, the atmosphere and musical style that Rakkiri-san created was something that we at WEST. hadn't had before, so I think the show will be jam-packed with new ways of singing, getting into the groove, and dancing.

◇Junta Nakama

I thought the atmosphere of the group was very similar. Each member has a character that makes you think, "Oh, this is Kotaki!" or "That's Hama-chan!", and it was fun talking about that.

◇Kamiyama Tomohiro

I heard that you've all been working together since your university club days, and talking to you, I got the feeling that you still cherish the atmosphere from back then. I think relationships can change as you get older, but Rakkiri has remained the same and continues to be a really close-knit group. Also, I hope you take good care of Rami-chan. lol

◇Ryusei Fujii

It was really fun. It was a different genre of music from the previous three guests, and we got to do a stylish dance number with a great rhythm. I feel like we've created another new WESSION.

◇Takahiro Hamada

Up until now, I've just listened to Rakkiri's music and loved it, but through the talk, I've become an even bigger fan. When I got to see the personalities of each member, I thought, "Oh, so this is what it means to like the whole band." Talking to Rakkiri makes you want to listen to their music even more. I think everyone who watches this broadcast will become a fan of Rakkiri.

◇Nozomu Kotaki

It's been a while since I laughed so hard I didn't even care how I looked on camera. It was fun to get a glimpse of everyone's personalities and characters from their conversations. I've listened to a lot of Rakkiri's songs, including the one they wrote for us, so I was really happy to be able to sing it.

◇Comment from Lucky Kilimanjaro

◇Kumaki Yukimaru (Vocal)

I was really happy to see everyone dancing to the music I made, and I was so happy to be able to introduce Rami's daily mischief today. There will also be a festival, so I'm looking forward to dancing with everyone.

◇Rami (Percussion)

The live performance and recording were all incredibly lively, and I only have fond memories of having a really fun day. Thank you very much.

◇Seiji Yamaura (Bass)

Even the smallest jokes were picked up by everyone in WEST. and made into something entertaining, so it was very easy to talk to them. I would be very happy if I had another opportunity like this.

◇Masaki Shibata (Drums)

It was so much fun playing together, and everyone's conversations were so entertaining. I enjoyed it so much that I ended up enjoying it as a viewer.

◇Koji Matsuzaki (Guitar)

It was lively from start to finish and incredibly fun. I've never performed with so many people watching me, so I was really excited and the time flew by.

◇Mao Otaki (Synthesizer)

It was my first time performing live with such a large number of people, so I really enjoyed the lively atmosphere of everyone. The conversation was also really interesting, and I thought that it was typical of someone from Kansai. I was happy to be able to talk to them.
