Interview – 4Gamer Music Festival 2025
Dec. 27th, 2025 07:32 pm4Gamer:
Now, let us introduce the next guests– GOAT from Tokyo, a city where 'law and order' meet 'anarchy and freedom'!
The special forces unit they belong to has returned to this music festival once again this year. Thank you so much!
Today, we will chat with COLOR and OWL, who are here on behalf of GOAT.
First, looking back on this past year, could you tell us about an experience that made you feel "we've really changed"?
COLOR:
Hmm… maybe the strength of our bond? It feels like it’s gotten as tight and thick as a shimenawa rope~ Oh, and just to be clear, I chose 'shimenawa' on purpose because it captures that festive spirit.
GOAT is still a bit of a chaotic bachelor pad, but I've started to find it quite cozy, haha. It's become a place where I feel safe, and I think the other members feel pretty much the same way.
4Gamer:
Shimenawa...! It's a perfect expression for the end of the year, haha.
Even if it feels a bit chaotic, I can sense that this vibe adds to the comfort.
It seems like the GOAT's bond has grown even stronger this year.
Next, let's talk about something else that resonates with the year-end spirit.
Has there been something that keeps coming up in conversations among the members this winter, or any little trends?
OWL:
With the end of the year approaching, the amount of paperwork skyrocketed. Everyone was saying their eyes were tired, so we started using eye masks. The kind that leaves your eyes exposed.
This led to a sort of mini masquerade, which was really amusing. It was okay since it was our break, but it was a rather weird sight. Not stylish in the least, and certainly not something I'd want to show off.
4Gamer:
The thought alone is quite striking!
The contrast with your usual cool image is remarkable, but perhaps it's precisely those behind-the-scenes that make your performances shine even brighter.
Thank you for sharing such a GOAT-like story.
Now, let's enjoy the music.
Here comes GOAT's stage performance of "Amearare." Enjoy!

4Gamer:
Coming to the stage now is the vigilante group based in Tokyo's entertainment district, 'Roppongi'— JUNKY and CHERRY from BAD SKUNK, also known as 'BASKU'!
These two left a significant impression at last year's music festival, and they are back with us this year.
Let’s keep the momentum going and hear your thoughts!
First off, let's take a moment to think about this year. Was there a moment when you felt that your strengths became even clearer in what you did?
CHERRY:
Each of us shines in a different area, and in every job our roles are completely different. To call a member who's doing something I don't understand “incompetent”— ah, pardon me.
4Gamer:
T- That caught me off guard for a second... haha, but it really demonstrates how openly you have been facing off against each other.
This past year has really highlighted the 'strength' of BAD SKUNK.
Now, let's move on to a question appropriate for the end of the year.
If there's something you want to accomplish before the year is over, please share it with us.
It can be work-related or personal, both are perfectly fine.
JUNKY:
Oh honey~ I just gotta make Snow a member of BASKU ♡ I want to be with Snow forever and I can't stand the thought of being apart ★
Well, even if this year doesn't work out, there's always next year, and the year after that, and I'll just keep on the hunt for as long as it takes~ Ain't stopping until Snow is mine ♡
... And I really wanna thank everyone who supports BASKU ♪ Thankies ♡ Next year, I swear I'll make you all incredibly happy, no question ★
4Gamer:
... Well, that passion of yours is sure something else...!
I can totally feel the crowd's energy buzzing right now, haha.
In the end, you concluded with genuine words of appreciation.
Thank you for the passionate comments.
Next, we have BAD SKUNK's performance.
Let their music speak in place of words. Here’s 'Forbidden fruit,' enjoy!

… No, what I mean is that instead of assuming they're "wrong," I think we were able to take each person’s strengths and let them blend beautifully within BASKU.
