The band is a hot topic right now, attracting attention from famous foreign artists for their free and yet heartwarming sound based on alternative rock.

The bonds and challenging spirit spun by music.

-Thank you very much. I am really looking forward to the future of Texas 3000, do you have any aspirations for the future?

KIRIN: I hope everyone takes care of themselves, eats lots of food, and stays well.

Sakiyama: I would love to play with Jojo and kirin, as well as my friends. I always get tongue-tied and go wild, but please forgive me someday, even if I think about abstaining. I got over those days, and now we are having fun playing music together, eating seaweed bento (location bento) during interviews like this.

Jojo: I really have never had such a delicious seaweed bento before. My near-term goal is to attend a festival, so please look forward to it.
