It’s different so people don’t understand it (laughing). „You’re dressed like that again“, I often get teased by Fuma-kun. Marius: It’s about balance. I decide it according to that day’s mood and the weather, I think about the colour, design and material to balance it out! Kento: I think about design the most. I don’t want it to be similar to others, I like a flashy, individual design for me. Fuma: Because I like wearing loose clothes on top, I always buy the biggest available size.
