– It was our dream to go overseas together. So, today, we’re realizing a dream.<\/p>\n

What is your best memory since your debut ?<\/span><\/p>\n

– To be here ! Even if you held nationwide live tours in Japan, coming in France to sing our songs is something really big for us.<\/p>\n

– This album was released in July 2014. It represents all sides of Mutant Monster. We’d like that many people listen to it.<\/p>\n

What are your future projects ?<\/span><\/p>\n

– We want to go to Japan Expo in Paris and to USA. We’d like to become international artists.<\/p>\n

Do you have a message for your fans ?<\/span><\/p>\n
