A new era of entertainment Ren: I think in entertainment everything is connected, and while each thing gradually develops there will be also things that will intermingle. For example, in popular music there are elements from a different genre mixed into, projection mapping is introduced into live performances and so on... there is also a multiplication of entertainment colleagues. I like magic since I’m young, and after watching the magician Sero-san on TV, I started to practise it by self teaching. The method of attracting the attention of the other one and using that state of mind to start a trick is sometimes used for live performances in which the audience's eyes are attracted by the image of the monitor and you appear from an unexpected place. And then, another trick is also “zero gravity” in which Michael Jackson tilts his body. When I watched this performance when I was a child, I was shocked. By the way, currently what makes the members lively recently are games I think. I often play “Pokemon” with Ruki on the Nintendo switch. My favourite Pokémon is Ditto. It’s cute and I love it. Takumi: Before I appeared in the audition, when I was 19 years old, I used to go to the cinema to watch all the new movies one after another no matter if it was western or Japanese movies. Since I was younger I like movies and I wanted to know more about movies and I wanted to refine my senses, so each time i was free, I went to the cinema. Buying cookies filled with caramel, popcorn, hotdogs and cola, entering and finding the movie i want to watch next in the trailers before the main movie... it was a happy time. Back then and also now, basically, I like works that move me emotionally and can make me cry. Because crying makes me release stress, crying is something important for me. Recently, I often use streaming services and watch at home, but it’s not just movies but I also got into the enjoyment of dramas. If I challenged something in the new entertainment fields, I don’t want up just watch movies or dramas, but I would like to appear in one. But acting seems difficult... but if I, who always watches, is moved emotionally and cries, get involved in to a wonderful work that moves someone and makes them cry, one type of me might also develop.
Ren's 1pick: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate At the same time as Pokemon I got into Smash. Also yesterday I played with Junki and Sho together until 11pm -laughs- Takumi's 1pick: Toki wo kakeru bando What I am into recently is this drama which is distributed via FOD (a Japanese steaming service) and in which Miura Shohei plays the lead role. It’s a coming of age drama that can make you laugh and cry.
Which entertainer influenced you as an artist? Ren: The reason why I started dancing was Michael Jackson. Since I was a kid, I watched and admired Michael Jackson, and while being a kid I gave my best to imitate his moon walk and got absorbed into dancing. He is my dance origin. Takumi: Enriching my senses with movies that can make me cry a lot There are a lot of thrilling movies. “Kimi no na wa (your name)”, “I want to your pancreas” and “ Fortuna's Eye” made me weep bitterly. But it surprised me when I heard that Ren and Ruki didn’t cry at all! -laughs-
