Hyoda: This is the first solo performance of Peach Lucky Grass Z in Shanghai. We hope to give the best performance to the Samurai (もののふ) in Shanghai.

What is the most memorable or most want to experience during this trip to Shanghai?

Sasaki: Actually, we went to Shanghai Disneyland not too long ago. So many delicious Chinese dishes made me very memorable, I really hope to have another chance to eat.

Looking back on 2018, what do you think?

Gao Cheng: It's been a very exciting year. It is not only the New Year of peach grass, but also the tenth anniversary of peach grass. So I want to thank all the people around us again for supporting us.

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the formation of peach grass, the album "Peach も ten, Pangcha も Blossom" contains not only past singles, but also new songs and cover songs. Which song impresses you most? What's the reason?

Gao Cheng: Sure enough, it is the first work of 4 people, "Smile". The lyrics were written for us, and the choreography brought us closer to the samurai. It's very special to us.

So far, you have performed with domestic artists such as Matsuzaki Shigeyuki, Nakajima Miyuki and Chi Chi Group, as well as foreign artists such as "KISS" and Lady Gaga. What artists or celebrities would you like to perform with next?

Tamai: Two years ago, we held a grand performance under the theme of "The integration of peach grass and sports." Next, we hope to have the opportunity to communicate the charm of competitive sports to the world on the stage of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games with competitors from all over the world.

Nowadays, group idols come in many forms. What do you think is the difference or strength between you and other groups?

Sasaki: The scene is our biggest weapon. Maybe we may not be mature enough, but we are confident that we will leave the most profound impression on the audience.

The goals that had been set, such as the Budokan hall and the red and white song festival, were realized. What is the most important thing to achieve your goals?

Hyoda: It's very important to say what you want. We hope to accomplish more challenges as a group.
