The latest interview by the duo marks the occasion of the one-night-only special live event Women in Music – EQUAL STAGE, presented by Billboard Japan and Spotify on June 9. The band’s lineup changed at the end of 2025, but Moeka Shiotsuka and Yurika Kasai haven’t slowed down: 2025 brought their first two-night concerts at the historic Nippon Budokan and a seven-city European tour, and 2026 has already seen them release “Dogs,” the theme song for the Netflix series Sins of Kujo. Making their second appearance in this interview series, the two spoke about the essence of their new single and how their mind-set has shifted over the past three years.
