Blue Vegeta, a Dragon Ball Z character and Shibuya, a ward in Tokyo popular for the crosswalk known as the scramble, are references to their Asian influences. In an interview with HYPEBEAST they have been vocal about a big driving force in creating music, they said, “It’s always been about creating the best music we can for everyone, but growing up barely having any Asian-American or Asian-Canadian influences to look up and relate to is also a big driving force on why we do this,” Neeko explains. “Y’all should see all the hard-working people behind the scenes, too,” Soliven adds. “We didn’t even realize how many Asian artists, graphic designers, art directors, stylists, managers, video directors, curators, etc. who are so essential in driving the business and creative process of the music industry. That makes us so happy.”
