dominated the Billboard Japan 2020 mid-year charts, with their mega-hit song"Pretender" ruling the Japan Hot 100 and the band leading the artist ranking, both a first milestone for the breakout pop-rockers.
The piano-pop band continued to build a strong following, performing in numerous music festivals for the rest of the year and landing their first appearance in the historic year-endmusic program. As of May 2020,"Pretender" has been streamed over 300 million times in Japan. To mark the occasion, Billboard Japan interviewed the band over e-mail, and the four members -- piano-playing frontman Satoshi Fujihara, guitarist Daisuke Ozasa, bassist/saxophone player Makoto Narazaki, and drummer/percussionist Masaki Matsuura -- shared their thoughts on their ubiquitous hit, what they are doing during the coronavirus social distancing, how they would like to spend the rest of 2020 and more.
"Pretender" was the top song on the Japan Hot 100 mid-year chart. How do you feel about the song becoming such a long-lasting hit?Of course, we don't consider"Pretender" as the only special track among our catalog, but we're happy that a song fortunate enough to receive so much love was born during our career as a band.
