How to Create "Happy Moments" with 70 thousand people

"We intend to make a performance in which the performers don’t show it one-sidedly, but instead, a performance that can only come into existence because there are people who watch it."

It's admirable the time and effort that Jun and all the members put into planning their concerts, and it shows in the actual concerts. One of the reasons I became a fan was their interaction with the audience at the concerts. They really go out of their way to interact with all the audience, even the ones way up top. It really shows their respect for their fans. I really love how Jun is so thorough explaining all the details about every aspect of the concert. Thank you so much for taking the time to translate this and sharing it with us. I love reading Jun interviews.
