bj韩元杜松子酒游戏。　

虽然有可是什么maddo·这个学生各自想表现的许多认为需要最终把那个集中到一起的能源。因此是潮流。

不仅做电话·chanhi音乐而且做视频，拍照片，做流行，我们做许多真地好的议论。用好的意思，是对话吗？


正在许多音乐视频或者短篇电影"Moving For Word"和东京的影像监督Pennacky继续协作，对Balming Tiger来说，Pennacky是什么样的存在？

认为所有的成员也对Pennacky感到在omegasapien刚刚的maddo的话的我们的表现的能源，那句语言好像不能表现的感觉。他巧妙抽出我们想在音乐表现的视觉性的可能性，好像我们正提高他的影像的音乐性的可能性。用好的均衡互相相配，认为性格相合。因为是还有的朋友所以那个是最好的地方。我遇见Pennacky的在进入Balming Tiger之前是在日本去大学的时分。当时我正一个人做音乐，第一次音乐视频的视听次数是大约800-1000回左右。Pennacky找到那部动画，认为帅，来看实况公演了。就是说，一直是始自于昔日的关系。那部动画为什么在他的算法而来了他感到了什么不明白，但是有了对我们通晓的东西。

是sogumu命运。

被从2024年4月起监修涩谷PARCO的BGM，被到什么样的过程挑选歌曲了？

做4个sogumu的季节份的我们的播放列表的平均每人选各25首，是四、五个，并且负责了一个季节。在春夏秋冬分了，但是即使不那么商量也和好的感觉无大的问题而相配了的话吗？比方说负责春天的成员认为春天的针对分别的季节有的形象正相似。

配合电话·chanhi季节，但是收集选的东西，如果有不从那里有点准确的歌曲的话，取下，更是准确的用曲替换的感觉，并且做了播放列表。

因为是一点bj韩元杜松子酒前正直详细所以，并且没记住，但是有在我们中厉害慎重争夺确认的记忆。

从在涩谷PARCO的大楼中碰上的歌曲这个点数意识到过吗？

一边maddo·这个学生PARCO是有历史的百货商店，一边有现在还年轻的感觉，那么，没有吗？不在因此挑选歌曲的时候也分最近昔日的歌曲和歌曲一边和调和的得到的歌曲混合起来而，一边选了。

sogumu我因为负责了春天所以想像了像"花开花的游乐场"那样的感觉。感到想在PARCO，是好像全部在在小孩的时候与年龄无关地回来了的花圃，并且忘记好像在玩的时间，渡过幸福的时间了，做了，但是是厉害开心的工作。

如果有具有PARCO的印象的话，请听。

电话·chanhi我喜欢的图表设计的井上嗣也是正经手许多广告的从80年代到90年代的PARCO，但是因为在看了他的广告视觉非常好的时候的话想了和PARCO听所以的话那种广告想起来。

独自解释sogumu艺术性的东西，追求，也在时代的潮流巧妙合拢，是被大量的人们继续爱的地方。在和去年的夏天，朋友去涩谷PARCO了的时候，我穿着拖鞋，在在1楼的COMME des GARÇONS GIRL，厉害买了与可爱的粉红色的VANS的联手合作运动鞋。虽然几乎不穿有颜色的鞋可是我在PARCO来，为了被拉到的旁边总觉得有好像其他自己在自己中醒的感觉的在印象留下来。

长时间正继续bj韩元杜松子酒旅游的话可能有有时厌倦的事情。不过在升入舞台之前有一起祈祷的时间。那时的全部调和的感觉总是好。

近年来maddo·这个学生昔日，许多出来在小的实况也了，许多也在大的实况出来了，但是即使规模不同也认为心理准备大概一样。在对舞台站着的时候，做的事情用表现和成员一起快乐。那个愉快变成了最大的原动力。

做电话·chanhitsua去新的地方的话，吸新的空气，新穿衣服，是新的卡车，并且做表现，频繁地能够的幸福的话感到那样的新的经验。

一边一起过sogumutsua两、三年，一边有2句总是正说的语言。一个各"一步"还有一个在"危机机会。"用旅游，没有什么一口气跳起来的，是总是必须一步一步前进的状况。因为实际有了不计其数的危机所以。行李没有，成员不能实况之前坐飞机。也通过那样的状况学习许多在机会更换危机的方法了。变得越来越强大，通过旅游，在，另外，做音乐会中全部正确实体会在中的一个成为的。

Balming Tiger, a South Korean musical collective, identifies as an alternative K-pop band and is gaining worldwide attention for its energetic performances and one-of-a-kind, addictive sound and vision. Since April 2024, the musical collective has been the background music selector at Shibuya Parco. In November, the collective attended the opening party for the fifth anniversary event celebrating the renewal of Shibuya Parco and gave a special one-night-only live performance. Among the eleven current members of the band, performers Omega Sapien, sogumm, bj wnjn, Mudd the student, and visual artist Chanhee Hong sat down for an interview. In addition to the interview, we are sharing footage from the live performance that electrified the venue.

- Balming Tiger's visual expressions span videos,music videos,documentaries,artworks,styling,and more and are infused with a distinct,playful creativity. How do you create such unique productions?

Chanhee Hong: I believe this is largely because our team includes many members who can comfortably handle multiple genres. For example, our leader San Yawn is involved in directing, performing live, and styling, while the member Leesuho takes part in the production and creation of videos. I am also in charge of design and occasionally take the stage as well. In the beginning, people with an interest in multiple genres joined Balming Tiger, and their skills have naturally blended together.

- Your activities are rooted in a relaxed, open-minded, and somewhat silly sense of humor. That unique vibe has created an atmosphere that captivates and entertains the audience.

Omega Sapien: We truly enjoy laughing, joking, and goofing around together. We have so much fun hanging out with each other, so our playful nature and light-hearted vibes naturally come through in our performances, videos, and songs.

sogumm: I believe it's because we have extra mental space. When I take part in a creative project as a member of Balming Tiger, I feel no pressure to be cool or showcase the most avant-garde parts of the work. Of course,I find it enjoyable,but I believe it's because I have enough mental space that I can incorporate humor into the work.

Mudd the student: As Omega Sapien said, we joke around, but the main reason we came together as a group was our shared energy for performing. It's hard to describe, but we have our own code built on mutual trust, and our audience senses the strong mutual connection that we share.

- In one word, how would you describe Balming Tiger's creative works, which transcend conventional boundaries by redefining roles like performers and background staff as well as musical genres?

bj wnjn: "Playful."

Mudd the student: Each of us has many ideas that we want to express, and I believe it takes effort and energy to bring them together and shape them into the final work. So, I would say, "flow."

Chanhee Hong: We go through many meaningful discussions, not only while making music but also while creating videos, taking photos, and developing our style. So, I would say, "dialogue" in a good way.

- Balming Tiger and Pennacky, a Tokyo-based movie director, collaborated on numerous music videos and the short film, Moving For Word. To Balming Tiger, what presence does Pennacky have?

Omega Sapien: Mudd just mentioned the indescribable energy of our performance. All the members of Balming Tiger feel that same sense of energy from Pennacky. He is very good at bringing out the visual potential that we wanted to express in our music, and in turn, we can enhance the musical potential of his movies. We click very well with each other in a good balance. We are a good match, and above all, we are good friends. That is the best part. I first met Pennacky when I was a college student in Japan before joining Balming Tiger. At that time, I was making music on my own, and my first music video only had around 800 to 1,000 views. Pennacky saw that video, liked it, and came to watch my live performance. In other words, our relationship goes way back. I'm not sure how my video ended up being suggested to Pennacky through the algorithm or what he thought when he watched it,but I think there was something about it that created a connection.

sogumm: It's fate.

- You have been supervising the background music for Shibuya Parco since April 2024. What process do you go through to select music for Parco?

sogumm: Our task was to create playlists for the four seasons. First, we each selected 25 songs. Then, we formed four groups of four to five members with each group responsible for creating a playlist for a specific season. We divided the members into groups responsible for the spring, summer, autumn, and winter. Without much discussion, we created playlists that seamlessly matched each season without any major issues. For example, the members assigned to spring shared similar ideas about the season, and this held true for the groups assigned to the other seasons as well.

Chanhee Hong: We started by gathering and selecting songs for a specific season. Then,we removed the songs that didn't fit and replaced them with tracks more appropriate for the season. This is how we created the playlist.


bj wnjn: Honestly,I don't remember all the details of the process since it was a while ago. But I do remember carefully and thoroughly checking and discussing each song as they were selected.

- Were you especially mindful when selecting songs while keeping in mind that customers would hear them in the Shibuya Parco building?

Mudd the student: Parco is a department store with a long history,yet it still has a youthful feel,doesn't it?Therefore,when selecting songs,we didn't separate old songs from more recent ones; we blended them together to create a harmonious mix.

sogumm: I was assigned to spring, so I chose songs that matched the mental image of an amusement park where flowers bloom. I wanted shoppers to feel as though they were reliving their childhoods while shopping in Parco-as if they were playing in a flower garden and losing track of time. It was a very enjoyable process.

- Please share your impression of Parco, if any.

Chanhee Hong: Tsuguya Inoue is my favorite graphic designer, who created many of the iconic ads for Parco in the 80s and 90s. I really enjoy his ad visuals, and whenever I hear the name Parco, I immediately think of the ads he created.

sogumm: Parco is a place that has been loved by many people for its unique interpretation of artistic items and its ability to stay connected to the ever-changing trends of the times. Last summer, when I visited Shibuya Parco with friends, I was wearing slippers. On the ground floor at Comme des Garçons Girl store,I discovered and bought a super cute pair of pink sneakers,a collaboration with Vans. I don't usually wear colorful shoes,but I distinctly remember being at Parco on that day,I was drawn to that pair and couldn't resist; it was as if some unseen force was leading me toward them. It felt like a different version of myself was awakening inside.

- Among your variety of activities as Balming Tiger, live performances are when you deliver the most exciting experience for your audience. What do you consider as the joy of touring and performing live around the world?

Omega Sapien: When we are on stage,so many people are watching what we're doing. I believe that is the most authentic moment for me. I really enjoy those moments when I'm performing live.

bj wnjn: Sometimes I become bored when touring for a long time. But before we go on stage, we take a moment to pray together. It is always comforting to feel that everyone is in harmony at that time.

Mudd the student: We used to perform live on smaller stages a lot. In recent years, we have been performing live on many larger stages. Regardless of the size of the stage, our mindset stays consistent. I enjoy performing alongside the other members when I'm on stage. That enjoyment is the biggest motivation.

Chanhee Hong: When we are on tour,I am happy to be able to constantly experience new things-visiting new places and breathing in new kinds of air,wearing new outfits,and performing new tracks.

sogumm: I always said two phrases while touring with these members for two to three years: "One step at a time," and "Turning a crisis into an opportunity." While on tour, nothing ever happens as a sudden leap forward all at once. So, we must steadily make gradual progress step by step. In fact,we have faced so many crises that I've lost count. We have faced the crises of lost luggage or members missing a flight before a live concert. Through those situations, I learned a lot about how to turn a crisis into an opportunity. Through our experience on tour and creating concerts, we have grown stronger than ever and become more united.
