Sales" & "Hot Albums" & "Artist 100" won first place, creating a whirlwind all over the world. At PMC, during the corona crisis, we have been remotely interviewing mainly the original music of Stray Kids, who not only writes and composes but also produces, but this time, PMC's first face-to-face shooting and interview have finally come true. . The interview was conducted during promotional activities for Japan's 2nd mini-album "CIRCUS" between Kobe and Tokyo performances of "Stray Kids 2nd World Tour 'MANIAC' in JAPAN", which was their first performance in Japan since their debut in Japan. As part of a large-scale world tour covering 21 performances in 11 cities around the world, the tickets for the Japan tour were flooded with applications many times the capacity of the venue from the pre-order stage, and Stray Kids' live performances to mark the tour as a premiere live. We tried to interview them with a focus on expression, and talked about the production story of the concert with their own ideas and thoughts, the after-performance talk of the Kobe performance, and the Stray Kids enjoying Japan to the fullest. The photo was taken by Tetsuo Kashiwada, who won the “2021 JAPAN PHOTO AWARD” and “YPF PHOTO AWARDS 2022”. Not to mention the cool expression linked to the concept of "MANIAC", but also the appearance of enjoying the present of youth, so don't miss it.
