2:23 Impressions after Watching the Video
SOTA
I feel it is a new performance. I think it is a place where ways of showing and creating a worldview that would be difficult to achieve in reality can be realized. I am excited to think that this will have a great impact on my live performances and productions. I was surprised when my avatar suddenly became bigger because of its high quality, and I feel that the use of 2D and real will become more interesting in the future.

3:24 Shooting Methods
MANATO
There were many 360-degree cameras on the shoot. There were viewpoints shot from above and from below, which was something we had never experienced before, and it was very refreshing to be able to reproduce angles of view and movements that felt more realistic and could not be represented by just one screen. When Shunto and I were shooting together, we had so much fun that we  laughed without realizing it. I dodged objects flying around town, and when Shunto asked me to pick it up, I picked it up with my bare hands, even though it would never happen. We were able to capture images that were a combination of the unusual and our true selves, and I thought they turned out to be very interesting.

5:33 Special Exhibits and Touch & Try
JUNON
I think it is a totally different concept from the live show we usually imagine, and you will enjoy the new part of it. We are very grateful to be able to participate in something new like that. It is a good opportunity to see the back view and the diagonal back view, which are not seen in a live performance.

6:50 Attractions of the Event 
LEO
There will be people who cannot usually come to Shibuya, and it is easy to attend alone. There will be people you can meet only in this art, so I hope you will deepen your relationship with them there. I heard that you can also do paints, so I am looking forward to having fun in a way that I usually can't. It is wonderful that people can experience so many different things through this event. BESTY will be able to see us up close and interact with besties in Japan and other parts of the world, so I hope this will lead to new exchanges.

8:30 What would you like to do if you could go back in time to 2000's Shibuya 20 years ago?
RYUHEI
I was born in 2006, so I have never seen Shibuya before then with my naked eye. Shibuya is the cutting edge of fashion. I also started going to Shibuya. I have the impression that there are many fashionable people, so I hope to experience the distinctive fashion of the 2000s.

Comments 

10:01 SHUNTO
I think there are many people who have not listened to Boom Boom Back yet, so I would like to encourage them to listen to it.

10:14 RYOKI
I hope you will visit Boom Boom Back Touch & Try. It's not “Dry Eye”, it's “Touch & Try”. I know it's difficult for some of you to come to Shibuya, but... (The other members start giggling.) Is it terrible? 
Manato: You're putting us in a tight spot.
Junon: No one thought that way. 
I haven't talked for a long time, so I couldn't resist and thought it's time to tell a joke. Well, if you can't make it to Shibuya, please sign up for the online live show and I'm sure you'll have a great time.

From March 10 to 21, Boom Boom Back Exhibition will be held at Shibuya Parco. Artworks, sets, photos, and videos that were actually used in the MV will also be on display. We were also impressed by the world view of the MV, so please visit the exhibition.
