group. You guys speak multiple languagesfrom Japan. You're based in South Korea,
or at least in South Korea quitea bit. You sing primarily in
English as far as I know who, So I'm just curious, out of
the entire group, who speaks themost languages. I think it's Maya Yah.

She can speak Japanese English languages.She's genius. Just curious. I
assume the answer is Japanese. Butwhen you think or when you dream,
which language do you think or dreamin My dreams are in English though sometimes

(04:41):
yeah it's in English, but itis English. That is that is so
fascinating. I don't know why Ifind that so fascinating. Your your your
birth language. You're born in Japan, speak Japanese, but you dream in
English for the most part. That'sweird. That is kind of crazy.
