When you first heard about the collaboration project between Ketsumeishi's songs and "Giant Cone," what impression did you have? Okura: "Making sounds using 'Zakuon'... I started by wondering what they were talking about. After hearing the explanation, and learning that they would add this sound to the song and create a remix. I still felt like, 'Are we really okay for this?' (laughs)." Q. In what scenes do you eat "Giant Cone" to recharge your energy? RYOJI: "I eat 'Giant Cone' as a reward after working hard. It's always in the freezer, and when I feel like I've worked hard today, I eat it after taking a bath at night." Okura: "It's nutrition for the brain, for a tired brain." RYO: "The brain craves sweets. I want to eat it when my brain is tired from intense writing or memorization." Q. Please give a message to everyone nationwide participating in the campaign. Okura: "Everyone, please send us lots of your best 'Zakuon.' Together with our songs. Since the songs have a good rhythm, we want to hear crisp sounds that convey the taste, with a good rhythm, like a crisp bite." RYO & RYOJI: "Some short ones, some long ones." Okura: "I want to receive your best 'Zakuon' from everyone. The campaign will start soon. Everyone, please eat 'Giant Cone' with a crunch, crunch, crunch, and participate enthusiastically. We look forward to your applications." "Thank you." "That's all from Ketsumeishi!" ■ Product Overview Brand Site: https://jp.glico.com/ice/giant/ Official X: https://x.com/glico_giant (@glico_giant)
