On the fifth episode of ML Backstage, Mars Luna, Joshua Luna (Josh), Kainalu Kamai (Nalu) & Holokahiki Toves (Holo) break down the behind the scenes stories and creative processes of his third Mars Luna EP "Arcturus" (available on Spotify & Apple Music). They discuss:
- the origins behind the "Arcturus" EP, Josh learning how to produce music, and how the photoshoot for the EP at Campbell Industrial Park led to Holo's life transition from 2019 to 2020.
- their individual 2020 recaps: pre-pandemic & pandemic.
- their perspectives on COVID-19, the pre-existing racial tensions, and conspiracy theories.
- Josh's current perspective on music, his admission that he viewed music as a drug and an idol in 2020, Nalu's deployment stint in 2019 and missing out on multiple trips to Korea due to the pandemic and Holo's life without social media.
- the main thing that the guys lost that they took for granted in 2020 and the biggest silver lining they found in the pandemic.
- the next Mars Luna single, "Gone" and Josh gives a sneak preview of the song at the end of the episode.
