Tetris Kelly:
Hey this is Tetris with Billboard News, and this is a debut. I’m here with KATSEYE. What’s up? Oh my god, so the last time I was with you guys, was at Dream Academy announcing the group, and you finally arrived. So how’re you feeling?
KATSEYE:
It’s actually crazy. This is such a full circle moment, like the last time we saw you, we were literally falling on stage. You made the group, you made the group, you made the group.
And here is the group. So you have your EP coming out. SIS and I love the title, I gotta say. So tell me what the title means, and how excited are you to put it out?
So ‘SIS’ is ‘Soft Is Strong,’ and I think the whole EP itself is, like, amazing. I’m so excited for everybody to hear it. Each song has a different story, and I hope that our fans and icons can find themselves in each song, the EP just shows a lot of our duality, like soft and strong.
And I mean, I gotta say naming the first song “Debut?” That was good.
You see what we did there.
I see what you did there. Yeah, and how was that song? How was creating that and why was that the first one you wanted to introduce to the world?
Oh my god, girl. I mean, that song was like, when we first heard it, we were literally all gagged because it was so fierce.

Leila Cobo:
Elmer Figueroa Chayanne Chancito
Chayanne:
A.K.A. Chanchito.
I am going to start calling you Chancito from now on.
Whatever you want. People who loved me so much called me Chancito, my mom, my grandmother.
When you are feeling bad, do you talk to yourself and say: Chancito, you can do it?
Chancito, you can do it. Also Chancito, you know that we use the diminutive when we are small children. So, like Chayanne, what we were talking about before, it comes from mom. This is not a name created for music. So, since I was a little boy I was Chancito and so was my grandmother, that diminutive of love for the little boy. And it’s a good thing that later the “ito” went away and Chayanne stayed. Chancito, Chancito.
But I like it.
No I’m kidding, too.
Three, three.
Yes, three. Three syllables.
Chancito, Chayanne, Chayancito. Chayancito, no.
It’s better double: A-A.
Yes, Chayanne.
Imagine that in the show, so beautiful to hear when you are there, you feel the love that they are giving you.
Yes, and it still moves you? Then, you are backstage, you haven’t come out and the lights go down, then everybody starts screaming and you hear them say Chayanne, Chayanne.
Leila, it is amazing, because it has been many years, I remember staying at the hotel and suddenly from the street they would start screaming and you were in the room and you would come out, you could go out in your bathrobe or you could go out…
