--------------------------------------
reporter: ok so, this year you
released five albums at the pace of
one album a month.
i'd like to ask you,
what was the idea
behind this project?

maki and konishi: (laughs)

maki: we wanted to give people
reason to talk about us nonstop.

konishi: that's right.

reporter: i see.
and what is the connecting idea
behind the five albums?

maki: connecting idea?
i wonder if there is one.

konishi: (laughs)

maki: well, i think you can say that... mmm...
well... the full album, this year's girl, will be
released on the first of september.

reporter: yes...

maki: ok so at the beginning we had
this concept, the age of female
superiority. and the rest of the project
flowed from that. i think.
