Hi, beautiful human, I'm Zach.

Yay!

That is me.

And we welcome to the studio for the first time ever.

Kiss of Life.

Oh, yay!

Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you guys.

Do you have an intro?

Oh, we just say, hey guys, we're...

Kiss of Life!

Yay!

Now, is that your decision, the intro and what you do?

Because you guys are a very unique group I'm so excited to have you here

Thank you for having us Our decision Pre-debut we talked about What should we do?

Should we blow kisses?

What should we do?

But we were just like, let's just keep it simple And just say hi I think it's cool It's very human, you know?

Yeah Can we talk about how you guys debuted?

Because that's another very fascinating thing You debut each individually

and then you debut as a group correct yes we came

out with solos for our first debut we were kind of

aiming for making a group consisted of full of like talented artists who can actually pursue their music

so we decided to showcase our distinct charms

and characteristics on the first album we put out well you guys are very unique

because you are comprised of people who have been doing this

for a second right like competing on shows writing for other k-pop idols how cool is

that can you just tell me like I don't know

if I've ever actually interviewed somebody who is an idol who's

written for another idol what skills are you using for other people

that you use for yourself not special there's nothing special actually i do it all the same

when it comes to kiss off live where

when it comes to other k-pop groups it's all the same

but i have i usually get less pressure when i

when i write songs of other artists for me what is your goal

when you guys are making a song is it to me

like do you set out with a goal is it to

like share yourself in the Is it to create something that brings you closer to your fans?

What is it?

I think it's all everything everything combined together, but mostly we try to have fun while making it

Because we don't try to like set a distinct like you

know answer We just want to see what vibes with us

and what just sounds cool

and what we could do like What we could do like to have fun on stage like dance fun.

That's all we matter That's it.

Yeah, yeah Interesting.

Well, I mean so much of life is like with that attitude of just having fun.

Yes.

And if you can, like, if having fun can also be a job, that's pretty sweet.

Yeah.

We're living the life.

Yeah, but it's a life that you guys worked really hard for.

Yes, we did.

Like, one of you have been doing this for over ten years, right?

Yes.

Ten and sixteen years.

What, ten and sixteen?

Ten and six years.

Ten and six, sorry.

Sorry for me it's ten years for Julie Like One two years Well,

yeah, yeah, you're you're you're the what they say

What let's talk for a second because you are on a reality show yes, right 16 Yeah before you ended up here.

Yeah, so can you tell me the first time you met these

girls for Julie We trained together for a couple years before we met the other girls

And then we come to this company and saw these girls And they are amazing

So Belle Foucault is really good And Hane,

she has a unique face Oh, yeah.

Thank you.

So I'm really happy to see like four of us is really come together.

It's really good.

There is something special here.

Yeah, and it's a do you think any of it has to do it's the fact that like

You know the three of you in particular have been really going at this I mean all four of you

but like the three of you really like ten years six

years That's a long time working on something It is I think that's what makes kiss of life very special

and unique because usually normally other groups They train together for a long period of years

and then debut as a group but we all came from different histories

and different paths but we're still able to make it work together

and I think that's that's the extra thing

that makes kiss of life kiss of life it is special and is

that why you put a focus on your individual your work

as individual artists in addition to obviously the work as a

collective yeah yeah definitely like our majority is Kiss of Life as a group

but we also want to showcase like you know what we've been through

and the stories that we have and the musicality that we have

and we want to be able to showcase that as well

and Also show that even though we're all different

and although we came from different histories We're still you know one

and we made music together It's like Avengers I don't know You know what,

I've said this before Avengers unite It's like the first time we met together it felt like we're all

so different we were like how in the world are we gonna blend? yeah

and when did you actually realize that you did blend

and this was the right thing for all of you? it took a

while it did take a while we had our obstacles,

our ups and downs but when we debuted our showcase our first stage our first showcase

that was the moment for me when i realized like whoa what is this energy

that we're putting together on this stage because we're all

100

so different but the process of preparing for this like debut song

101

and actually giving the energy at 100 on the stage was

102

a moment like i realized whoa this is gonna be something

103

cool like we were feeding off each other's energy on stage

104

can you explain to me your your choreography style like Because it is different than usual groups, right?

105

Like, it feels fluid and more loose, maybe less rigid.

106

Like, it does feel like you guys are very comfortable and you just mesh.

107

First of all, I think that our performance is a hip hop base.

108

I think that each member will be able to express their own colors.

109

So, Maddie thinks that the team base is kind of rooted in hip-hop as well

110

And thus because they put such an importance on individuality

111

that they have freedom of expression while they do their choreography as well Their own specific style Interesting, so you give yourself room to kind of like breathe Yeah,

112

we do Actually, that's a whole nother process that we actually take

113

while doing our practicing like you know usually like everything looks good you know

114

when it's all the same but then also we think

115

that it looks cool to have just everything kind of different

116

and see how each person you know does it a little their own way their own style

117

but there's still cohesion yeah that's the main main root of

118

it it's like there's beauty in it the igloo video come on you came into your own You killed it!

119

Thank you!

120

The aesthetic's amazing!

121

Thank you so much.

122

We put maximum effort into it.

123

So can you explain, and by the way, video, I mean like, I don't even know if it's an official video, it's just like a perform- Yeah, actually.

124

A performance video?

125

Yeah, it has like 18 million views or 11 million views or something.

126

Oh, wow.

127

Yeah, it's like the black and red, it's huge.

128

It's so beautiful.

129

Thank you.

130

How'd that record end up on the B-side?

131

For this album, we wanted to explore very different genres of music

132

and showcase that we're able to do a lot of different things.

133

So we had to put in a hip-hop song.

134

And we were like, why not all rap?

135

Let's just all rap.

136

And yeah, that's why Igloo came together.

137

And we had so much fun preparing for that song.

138

So we're extra, extra happy that everyone's vibing and loving to the song.

139

Oh, it's so good.

140

The bass is great.

141

Yes, I know.

142

We love it. So good.

143

Thank you. So good. So good.

144

Have you heard it, Daniel?

145

Of course I have.

146

It's like watching YouTube.

147

I know.

148

I know.

149

Wow. So cool.

150

I'm like watching you guys like That's what I'm saying.

151

Wait, that's cool.

152

Thank you for watching our stuff. Of course.

153

That really means a lot.

154

Like, you know, real recognizes real.

155

So I appreciate you guys being here.

156

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

157

Also, Get Loud's great.

158

Yeah.

159

Yeah, co-written by Belle, eh?

160

Yeah.

161

Chiki.

162

Yes.

163

Can I get a story behind this record?

164

Because it gives me very nostalgic energy.

165

Yes, it does.

166

When I first heard the track, the empty track of Get Loud, it really reminded me of Destiny's Child, like 2005.

167

So I was so excited to write on that song.

168

And it also reminded me so much of our members' voices and distinct charms.

169

So I was so excited for that.

170

Yeah.

171

I got more Cheetah Girls energy.

172

Ooh, Cheetah Girls!

173

We are sisters, we stand together.

174

Yeah!

175

We make up one big family, even though we may not look the same.

176

Think about that for a second.

177

Soaking it in.

178

No, hold space for it.

179

Space is hell.

180

That's not a big deal.

181

Can you explain to me your process of writing?

182

Is it usually to just production?

183

Oh, um, I wrote this song on the song session and I luckily I got a chance to work with

184

Tanisha Jackson who She's quite famous for writing some of Doja Cat songs.

185

So I wrote Lose Yourself Not lose yourself.

186

I wrote get loud with her and I had so much fun writing it Um,

187

yeah, I just had so much fun writing this song cuz yeah the melody and the chord progression was very

188

That's like my style.

189

So I enjoyed the session a lot It's a great record.

190

Yeah, it's really good.

191

Do you feel the rhythm go cha-cha?

192

Yeah My part I wanted to take that part but she took it Can we talk about the overall story of this?

193

It's an EP.

194

It is something about like the space between dreams and reality, right?

195

Like that's kind of the inspiration behind the entire body of work.

196

I get super nervous when I have to say something serious like this, so I have to take a moment.

197

Lose Yourself, the album itself holds a meaning

198

that totally losing yourself to whatever you dream or you love about What would lead you to the best version of yourself?

199

So the album this album is About us losing ourselves to music.

200

Yeah, that's the overall Are you losing yourself when you're making it performing it?

201

Yeah, I think I will lose ourselves and doing it Performing dude, we have this conversation all the time where like

202

when people perform like Athletes and stuff

203

or people who perform at like a high level they enter like a flow state

204

So they don't even really think about it.

205

You know what I mean?

206

They kind of just do it.

207

Yeah.

208

Yes It's just like you don't you can't explain it.

209

You're just yeah Actively doing it.

210

It just comes out naturally.

211

Yes Is that kind of what we're thinking about here?

212

Yes.

213

Yes Actually our company when we were preparing for this album, they're like, okay everyone a question When do you guys feel like when you guys lose yourself?

214

We're like hmm When we're on the stage, when we do music.

215

So that's why this album came up and it was very natural for us to express and, you know, make.

216

Because we lose ourselves the most when we dance and when we perform.

217

What have you learned the most out of being in this group together?

218

Oh, respect.

219

That everyone's different, I think.

220

I think before meeting the girls, because I've been a trainee for a long time, I had this like pressure to make everything kind of perfect

221

and have like an answer Like it has to be this way it has to be

222

that way But after meeting these girls I realized that just letting that go is beauty in itself and actually

223

You know accepting that there are flaws there is differences and Yeah,

224

those those are the things I feel like I learned Embracing those imperfections Oh, I think attitude.

225

I think attitude and vibe.

226

Yeah, teaching me.

227

Valuable lessons.

228

And with that is confidence, right?

229

Lesson and showcase and stage.

230

Yes.

231

With my members.

232

By the way, your English is great.

233

Thank you. Of course.

234

What are you thinking?

235

What's the most valuable thing you've learned from this group?

236

It's me the same with Julie

237

because Me too I'm trained a lot of like 10 years

238

And I meet this girl I feel like I can more like

239

Just let yourself Let let myself go because like just we can make a mistake It's okay.

240

It's okay.

241

It's not to be like a perfect or wonder how people of them You don't need to be perfect.

242

Yes Imperfection is perfect.

243

Yeah That's right That's the whole message very valuable lesson

244

and I mean it's fair to say that

245

that is kind of anti what an idol is right yes

246

yes yeah maybe it's redefining what an idol is oh it's

247

getting deep I got very deep for a second I went all the way down to the roots no

248

but really like k-pop itself is is per like strives to be perfect

249

and that's what makes k-pop so beautiful I feel like

250

because there's a process of that hardcore training and everything

251

and we do that as well that's the core of kiss of life too

252

but within that process we always try to you know give each other

253

that little boost of confidence

254

that it's okay it's all right we're doing good we are

255

striving to be perfect we are striving to do you know the best

256

but we're still human and you're still beautiful you looked hot doing it

257

and that's what matters That's what that that's what matters.

258

I find it really interesting that you grew up in Seattle.

259

Yes, I'm from Seattle interesting And you moved like eight or nine yes, that's right.

260

What was the real purpose?

261

Well purpose was like was like family thing Interesting you're from Hawaii.

262

Yes Very cool.

263

Very very cool.

264

You guys are like, I don't know Maybe my new favorite group Oh my goodness!

265

I'm so into it.

266

I'm so happy to hear that.

267

That just made my heart like...

268

Me too.

269

Just being honest.

270

What are you thinking?

271

How are you guys splitting up who sings what?

272

Cause you said you wanted the cha-cha line, but you got it.

273

Oh.

274

Usually our company...

275

Yeah, does like a little...

276

A&M?

277

Yeah, contribution of everything.

278

And then we get it

279

and normally it's right cause we have such distinct roles in the group

280

But there are some cases where we like give some feedback like oh, I think I'll be better like this.

281

Yeah How do you guys officially know when a song is done?

282

is do you rely on your team around you or?

283

What is it like the making of this song?

284

Yeah, the writing of it or it may be for you cuz like when you're writing it in the moment like

285

Is this song ever really done?

286

287

Oh, I feel like when the other process like like that

288

What's it called? choreographies and Visuals and everything came together and it looks perfect.

289

Once it looks perfect.

290

It feels like it's done for me It's a package.

291

It's more than just Not just the sound it's just overall everything That's a song.

292

Yeah, that's a song.

293

That's when it's finished.

294

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
