On this day, RIIZE appeared in blue costumes, the theme color of the performance, and greeted the MC in fluent Japanese, saying, 'Thank you for having us.' Sonchan expressed his feelings about the performance, saying, 'We are very honored to participate in the event 'Blue Mac Day.' I heard many fans are coming to today’s live, so we want to show a wonderful stage.' Wonbin also conveyed his current feelings, saying, 'It’s been a while since we could show the stage to everyone in Japan since the August hall tour, so I’m very excited and looking forward to it. I’ll do my best!' Shoutaro, the only Japanese member, commented on his first collaboration with Chotokkyu, saying, 'I’ve been watching Chotokkyu since I was in Japan, so I feel very honored to be able to perform together like this. I would be happy if we could collaborate again when we are active in Japan.' When he heard from the MC that Chotokkyu praised him as 'cool' at the previous press conference, he smiled and said, 'Really? I’m happy because Chotokkyu is really cool too.' In line with 'The BLUE HAPPY FESTIVAL 2024', there was a question about 'Which member do you think looks best in blue?' Eunsok commented, 'Today, I think Sohee looks very good in the blue costume.' Anton said, 'RIIZE’s team color is orange, but we’ve talked about how we like blue and sky blue. I think blue represents hope, so it fits perfectly with this event.' Recently, RIIZE appeared in a TV commercial for Blue Mac Day, which became a hot topic. In response, Shoutaro expressed his joy, saying, 'I’m really happy to hear from friends, 'I saw the CM' and 'Your voice is playing at McDonald’s.' Sohee conveyed to Japanese fans who will visit McDonald’s on Blue Mac Day on October 20, 'Thank you for your interest in Blue Mac Day. I hope many people will come in the future.' Anton said, 'As performers and through social media, we’ve been informing many people about this event. We want many people to know about it, so please tell those around you to participate in this charity event.' In September, RIIZE debuted in Japan and delighted many fans. Eunsok mentioned, 'The first thing that comes to mind about the most memorable event this year is the fan concert.' He emphasized, 'We made many memories and became close with the Japanese BRIIZE while touring Japan.' Wonbin agreed, saying, 'I also think it’s the fan concert. I received good energy from the fans and was able to create wonderful memories, so it still remains in my memory.' With their first title program starting, attention is also focused on their new challenges. Sonchan revealed what he wants to challenge in 2025, saying, 'In 2024, we were able to meet many BRIIZE while touring. In 2025, I want to meet even more BRIIZE while touring in larger venues.' Shoutaro also commented, 'Since 2025 is the new year, I want to switch my mindset and work hard to be active worldwide,' expressing his determination, 'In Japan, I want to aim for stadiums and Tokyo Dome.' 'The BLUE HAPPY FESTIVAL 2024' is the first charity festival held this year, born from Blue Mac Day. A portion of the proceeds from this festival will be donated to the Ronald McDonald House Charities Japan, which operates the Ronald McDonald House.
