I can't see you now, so I said, "See you tomorrow." Self-produced kolme's evolution and message after 2 years of searching
notebook-laptopThe girls unit kolme, who are active in self-producing music production and choreography, have released their first mini-album. The title is "Hajimete No Mini Album" as it is. Faced with myself in the situation of the corona wreck, it became a piece full of music and messages that evolved after two years of searching.
Children's lunch at a birthday party for the three of us (laughs)
--It's been a long time since you released a mini-album and had a release event.

-Is your co-living at kolme house the same as it was before the corona crisis?

-Did you raise a flag (laughs)?
MIMORI
Cramming us into a mini-album at that time
-What was the process behind releasing a mini-album at this timing?

--Certainly, it's a piece that shows kolme for the past two years. When the first state of emergency was declared, how did you feel when your scheduled concerts were canceled?

――Is that why you started doing things you haven't done before?
RUUNA
KOUMI
MIMORI
There are songs that wouldn't have been born if life had been the same as before
――The songs that were created during those days were included in this mini-album.
RUUNA
MIMORI
--The chorus of repeating
MIMORI
KOUMI
――It seems that the fusion of Kolme's music with fox capture plan, which also worked on the drama "Quartet" and "The Confidenceman JP", went well.
MIMORI
Knowing what's trending makes all the difference
- So kolme's strengths have increased from acoustic live performances.
RUUNA
――When you say that each member is the main, did you also open “Snack Hayasaka” (laughs)?

RUUNA
MIMORI
-What songs did you cover?
MIMORI
-You mentioned city pop, but do you check the latest music trends, including TikTok?
RUUNA
KOUMIOn TikTok, it's interesting to think, "Why is a song from many years ago so popular now?"
MIMORI
I bought my first accessory when I was 25
-Is there anything you would like to upgrade?
KOUMI
RUUNA
MIMORI
KOUMIIt's like putting it in for the time being (laughs).

I made a lot of tracks for my hobby
――Do you have KOUMI?
KOUMI
――KOUMI produced the off-shot movie included in the mini-album bonus video. And the jacket illustration was drawn by MIMORI.
MIMORISome people said, "Why don't you make an illustration for the jacket?" Did.
--How long did it take to make?
MIMORI
-Do you still have stock of songs because you spend a lot of time at home?
MIMORI<About 15 songs. After that, I made a lot of hobby trucks. I thought lo-fi hip-hop would be good, so I made it my own. I also tried rock, but I gave up because it was too bad (laughs). I can't play the guitar, so I switched to piano instead, and as a result, I felt like I shouldn't try my hand at rock (laughs).
The happiness of each and every member comes first
――Did you ever think about your life during the period of self-restraint?
MIMORI

KOUMI
――You will be 26 years old this year, but do you have a vision for your late 20s?
RUUNA<At the age of 20, it was like I was restricting myself, or rather, I had a strong feeling that ``it has to be this way''. I still have goals and music I want to do as kolme, but kolme was everything, but more than that, the idea that each member is happy is the best. I want them to be together for about 10 years and live a good life even without Kolme. It's like my mother (laughs), but that's how I felt.
――That's a deep love for the members.
RUUNA
-On the other hand, the activities of each person will also be fed back to kolme.
