This is the collaboration Q&A project musicJAPANplus had been doing with PS mobile before the TRIBAL ARIVALL Vol. 100 event! There have been a great number of questions we received from all of you. Thank you very much.
The questions have been answered through the musicJAPANplus Official Twitter and PS mobile on the day of the event as well; did you all check it out that day?
We are probably going to do a similar project again some time soon, so how about following the musicJAPANplus Official Twitter then? We are also waiting for your opinions on further events like this!
Well, this is the "Artist Q&A" and as said before, there have been a great number of questions, and all of them have been given to the respective bands and band members; however, we are very sorry, that there was simply not enough time to have them all answered!
Still, they have answered a good number of questions for you. Have you found your question in here? The questions we have answered on Twitter are also included in this so you can check them all out in one go!
Also, don't forget to write us your impressions on this project as well as the answers in our forum! Feel free to discuss the content under the "MJ+ : Looking for Questions at the Band Members!!" topic!
