The four members of Intersection face a problem most artists in the J-pop industry strive for.

"I feel a lot of our music probably appeals more to international listeners," says Kazuma Mitchell. Given three-decades worth of Japan struggling to figure out what clicks abroad, this should be a positive.

The issue, though, is that Intersection (stylized as INTERSECTION) features a line-up of performers each hailing from mixed Japanese and American backgrounds. Accordingly, the quartet wants to attract fans both in Japan and beyond.
