TALK ABOUT 3RD SINGLE "CHALLENGER" Issei: The 3rd (single) has a different feeling compared to before and it has a stylish sound. Ren: Also, including the lead track “Born to be wild” there are more english lyrics in the songs than previously. While we are not used to that, the teachers and the other members gave their best to check the pronunciation and we worked hard on the recording while retaking it over and over, so I want you to listen to that, too. Ruki: Indeed, it was a challenge with a high degree of difficulty. I heard from a lot of people that they liked the song “Shine a Light” the last time, but I feel like “Born to be Wild” is a song that has an impact that is still rare in Japan. “Repeating the title phrase over and over” is something that strongly catch up current music trends, so I’m also looking forward to seeing what kind of impact this song has. Sukai: If we compared it to the last time, the atmosphere of the song completely changes when entering the chorus and it is refreshing. The part before the hook of “Design” has a different atmosphere compared to what came before. Also in regard to the technique of the song, there is also “pitch bending”, so it’s a song that demands skills and it's difficult. Yet I also think that by overcoming those hard battles one after another, you can gradually grow. Issei: Speaking of recent music trends, I think recently there are a lot of songs that are up tempo and rhythmically, but the songs that are included on the 3rd, excluding the ballad song “Kimi no mama” are all rhythmically and stylish and catch up the trends in a JO1 style. I would be happy if I hear a lot of people saying this. Also, the dance for the lead track for example is very catchy, so I hope various people will imitate and enjoy it. Ren: The dance of the bridge of the lead track is indeed catchy. Because it has a “wild” part, there is a dance where you go vroom vroom like using the gas pedal of a bike, so I think it’s an easy to imitate dance. Ruki: Furthermore, this time, it becomes “the key is kii” or rather “the key is taken as kagi” -laughs- Also, in the lyrics the word “KEY” comes up a lot, in the dance there is also the feeling of opening with a key and the motive of keys is also found in the members costumes and accessories, so everyone please look for the “hidden KEY” when we appear on music shows or in the MV! I think the search is going to be interesting like the “Hidden MICKEY” -laughs- TN: basically Ruki uses 3 words for key in the first sentence: the kanji 鍵、the reading of it カギ( kagi) and the english word キー (kii, key). This sentence literally only makes sense in Japanese (or I am just stupid) In connection to the title of the 3rd single, please give us a message to the people who are challenging various things now. Ruki: It follows the handwritten messages, but I think “If you don't regret doing it, you have to do it”. In order to bring dreams to various people, I became a member of JO1, so I plan to continue to challenge myself to be able to be the personification of that even a little. I would be happy if I can give power to the fans via songs and performances. Sukai: Right now, I’m having a dream job. That it could become like that was because “I didn’t give up.” For everyone else it’s also “If you don’t give up, one day you will be the light and shine for sure.”, so let’s do our best together with us. Ren: I think that challenging itself does have a value and this is already cool, so please have confidence in yourself. I think right now it is terrible and there are a lot of bitter things, but no matter how hard it is when there is something bitter, we are with you. Let’s do our best together!! We are able to do work that gives dreams to other people, so first I want to continue not to forget to show ourselves working hard in chasing our dreams. Because when we do our best, I feel that the people around us will do that with us. I hope we can do our best together. Issei: No matter which wall you face, please believe in yourself until the end! Because I think when you challenge a lot of various things, there will surely be good things waiting for you. As the handwritten message says. Please give your best! Fighting!
Handwritten messages: Sukai: If you don’t give up, that will become a light one day. Let’s do our best together! Ren: I think the appearance of someone challenging themselves is really cool! When you don’t have courage or confidence, we will cheer for you!! Issei: The most important thing is to believe in yourself!! Please challenge a lot and do your best Fighting Ruki: Do things you want to do. Even when you feel lonely, you are not alone Until the end believe and love yourself It’s scary but you have to do it Because you only life once
Hair talk
My hair colour that was often a light one became dark purple in the MV Ren: For quite some time I continued to have a light hair colour, so I think it’s better to be conscious of the damage care. On days when I have my hair set up for work, I mix treatment and take special care of them. The combination ratio is a company secret however (laughs). When I mix strong repair treatment with moisturizing ones and use it as a care, I feel like my hair won’t be dry and that it is moisturized. About my hair style, it’s always cut in a length so that I can do a twoway that the front hair goes up and the back side down. Until now the side and the back was buzz cut, but to fit the concept this time, the hair is longer and I challenge a wild hair style. Speaking of something new, for the MV this time, I had dark purple hair, but since the audition I had a light hair colour the whole time, so I think it will be refreshing to see my dark hair for both the fans and the members. For me it was the first time to have that in a while, so I’m a little excited (laughs) Right now I’m enjoying the fading of the purple. In the future I would like to challenge an adult-like neat hair style. Even a small change could be a hairstyle that the fans and myself could enjoy. I would like to challenge dyeing all my hair in a light colour and add pea green or something vivid. Please continue to pay attention to my hair colour in the future too (laughs).
