EXILE members, including EXILE ATSUSHI and EXILE HIRO, commented about the announcement through their official website. ATSUSHI said, "EXILE for me has been everything in my life since I made my debut at the age of 21." Looking back on his activities with EXILE, "20 years of experience and learning not just as an artist, but a little about society. I just started to understand and learned about this world that I live in. That's why I really think that this is the beginning of my true life. I would like to continue singing in the hope that my songs can benefit someone, so I would be grateful if you could continue listening to both EXILE and EXILE ATSUSHI in the future."
