In an interview at the filming of a new Seven-Eleven web commercial recreating their 'Pure in the World' music video, FRUITS ZIPPER members Mana Manaka and Yui Sakurai discussed how their performance of the song has evolved since its release, becoming less tense and more individual over time.
Mana Manaka and Yui Sakurai of FRUITS ZIPPER spoke with KAI-YOU during the filming of a web commercial for Seven-Eleven's new Seven Cafe Smoothie. The commercial recreates the music video for 'Pure in the World,' one of the group's representative songs, with the original staff. The two members, who together represent the 'Strawberry Milk' flavor of the collaboration, described how their approach to the song has changed since its release.
Sakurai said she used to overthink her movements and expressions, trying too hard to match the bright melody, but now she performs more freely and naturally. Manaka added that during encores, each member does their own thing, and she expects the song to keep evolving. The interview also covered the members' favorite Seven-Eleven products and off-shot moments from the shoot.
