BE:FIRST – MILLION BILLION PODCAST #4 (SOTA, LEO) 2023.07.01

Translation of BE:FIRST's MILLION BILLION PODCAST, Episode 4, July 1st, 2023

Other than BE:FIRST's main MILLION BILLION radio show on J-WAVE every Saturday, they also started the MILLION-BILLION podcast back in June, 2023. In the MILLI-BILLI PODCAST, members answer listener questions, messages, give advice, and / or have discussions around the messages listeners send in. The atmosphere is more relaxed, so I've started listening to them!

All podcast episodes are available on MILLION-BILLION's AMAZON Music page, so feel free to follow along as you listen to the audio. I will have each episode's podcast linked under the cut!

Enjoy!
