Q: What do you think is "cool" about B.A.P? What times do you realize it?
JU: When we are exerting ourselves. When we can express what we want to say with out music. That's our "coolness." That's our work.
YJ: When we've done our hair and makeup and are standing on stage! That's why, at the opening of our concerts, our thoughts are so strong. There's an excited feeling of "Right, here we go!" No matter how many times I experience that, I can't get enough!
HC: Me too, I think we are cool on stage. Because it's for that purpose we pour sweat working like hell on our preparations.
Z: But on stage, there are things other than the music like our performances, like the warm B.A.P that is a bit of a surprise at times is cool! The silly MC break B.A.P (laughs), the B.A.P painfully singing ballads….
D: Please let me say something personal, but in the "1004" MV, the part where I sing "You, who are like an angel…" is pretty cool. (laughs) Sorry to the other members! (laughs) Please check it out if you get the chance.
YG: Personally, I feel cool after showering (laughs) Like "Oh, I'm so cool~!"
All: Hyu~~~(members roaring with laugher)

Q: Ok, then what is B.A.P's "manliness/masculinity?"
HC: Being able to decide on what needs a decision! That's Man-li-ness right! (laughs)
[T/N: I THINK Himchan is trying to make a joke here? The Japanese is "Sore ha, o-to-ko-deshou!" which sounds a lot like a popular catchphrase in Japan now, which is "I-ma-deshou!" ^^;;]
YG: Standing on stage with confidence in our own expression. (Our masculinity) comes out of that, I guess.
JU: ….I'm still working on that. I'm aiming to be a grown man!
YJ: It's not about appearances, but the courage it takes to use all our energy. When we can do that we are incredibly happy. Masculinity might be equivalent to happiness.
D: I understand what everyone is saying, and on top of that, applying it as an individual and as a group as we continue doing out best! If we let everything go to our heads, we're finished.
Z: Oh…All the good things have been said already. (laughs)

Q: You took the number 1 spot on Korean music shows with First Sensibility['s "1004"]! When you "blossomed" at this time, how did you feel about your "growth?"
HC: When we debuted 2 years ago, we were still budding. Thinking about it now, we were really inexperienced. From there, we practiced and practiced everyday, and little by little gained confidence…When they announced on stage that we won [with "1004"] I realized that we have grown! However, To keep from becoming arrogant and remain well mannered, I want us to at least make sure we do that, that's my belief.
YG: It makes me happy being told that we have grown and succeeded, but the essence of who we are hasn't changed! Masculine songs and rapping…We are gradually improving on these, that is our growth.
YJ: I think so too. By exploring our song and dance, I want to reach more people. Lately, the intelligibility of our songs has deepened with our point of view and meaning! Times like that, I feel a sense of growth as well as a sense of fulfilment.
JU: Whatever we did, it was a very first year. Our 2nd year we were able to work with more ease. I'm not saying that's our true ability, at unexpected times, we steadily "rose…" However, our Japanese needs some work! We need to do our best studying (laughs)
Z: For me…it's when people say I became grown up. I was 15 when we debuted and in the 2 years since then my height has risen 12 cm, and my body has become really solid! From mistakes made since then, I've become able to be more resourceful…but it's a bit early to say things are easy for me now, but it is a good feeling if I do say so (laughs)
D: Now as we continue to promote as group, I feel our level of perfection gets higher day by day. That is to say, that's our growth. It means we are steadily blooming.

Q: Lastly, a message for your fans in Japan!
HC: Preparations for our reunion with our Japanese fans, to be honest, are very difficult…I have to say we are doing our best…That's why we can show our cool image, and why it's fun. This time we'll meet those we met already, those we haven't met yet, let's meet again next time!
YG: We'll continue to be cool and masculine. We won't stop in our pursuit of challenges!
YJ: Until this point, B.A.P can be called masculine. However, this time we have also shown a bad boy image, as well as an adult image. Please look forward to an ever expanding B.A.P!
Z: No matter how much our fields broaden, we won't forget that our essence is as singers and rappers. That is our real form. From this point on, please keep cheering for us.
JU: Whenever we meet our Japanese fans, I want to get across our gratitude. REally, thank you for the support. Also, next time we come to Japan…we will try going to an onset!
D: We love you! Everyone♡
