Fujii Kaze comes across a bit shy at first, but after he gets comfortable, his quirky sense of humor and high cheekbones evoke a slightly subdued Jack Sparrow. The relaxed tone in his voice matches his comfy clothing, punctuated by cool accessories - a chic pair of third-eye sunglasses and sandals. For the cover photo of his latest album, Kaze wears a long head covering draped over his bleached blond locks. The one he came in today was sewn by his mom.

"Most of our songs were trying to follow global standards and trends, but our more recent tracks... are more uniquely representative and openly embracing of J-pop."

Although the fans may know me as just singing those songs, I got to see the actual hard work and passion that goes into creating anime.

"If you have nothing to say/No need to try so hard... It's more fun to listen to/Other's words."

It's been one day after the show, we still feel very buzzed about it. Takeru told amNewYork. From a very young age, I've always wanted to perform in the entertainment capital of the world [New York]. So, making that happen was amazing, especially as a group. Also, the fact that the fans were the ones who wanted us to come to New York, and we were able to achieve that in a very short time, means a lot to us.
