To create a music magazine, a music variety show "M:ZINE" invites one picked-up artist each month to confront "fan perspective concerns" and draw out their true feelings. This time, &TEAM has been decided as the picked-up artist for November. Kōto Wakui from Mrs. GREEN APPLE, Takeshi Tsukaji from Drunk Dragon, and announcer Mio Hayashi from TV Asahi will thoroughly explore the charm of the 9-member global group &TEAM. There will be a focus on a special project discussing "love for XX," regular segments, and popular dance collaborations, delivering a wealth of content over three weeks. Additionally, on November 24 (Sunday) from 1:00 PM to 2:30 PM, CS TV Asahi Channel 1 will air "M:ZINE Complete Edition - Full Display of the Charm of 9-Member Global Group &TEAM," featuring over 40 minutes of unreleased scenes, including studio talks that didn’t fit into the terrestrial broadcast and special interviews only available on CS, airing for 90 minutes, double the terrestrial broadcast. Today, October 21, is K's 27th birthday! A green monster-shaped cake was prepared for K, who loves the color green, in line with Halloween. Before the recording, staff and members surprised him with a birthday celebration. In front of the cake, K blew out the candles, wishing, "I hope the best charm of &TEAM is conveyed to those watching M:ZINE..." and approached the recording in a friendly atmosphere. ◆ Comment from EJ of &TEAM: We are truly honored to be appearing on "M:ZINE" for the first time!
