Celebrating the release of the photobook “Progress”! JO1 x 11 interlocked media interviews. [Kawashiri Ren exclusive interview]
That did you think when you saw the completed photobook? Because it is our first photobook I was as glad as when we released our first single. Following the title “Progress”, I feel it’s filled with serious looks of us who are aiming for the top and I hope you can also enjoy our normal relaxed sides.
There are a lot of amazing pictures, but please recommend your own highlights! Ahaha -laughs- that’s embarrassing! If I have to choose one, it might be the cuts when everyone wears suits. Matching with the clothes and the atmosphere of the location, the hairstyle is also designed to look stylish and unique, so I think they became cool. Personally, they are my favourites.
Was there something hard during the shooting? The picture when everyone was walking on the pier, it was raining, the wind was strong and the temperatures were low… We tried our best not to show this difficulty on our faces -laughs- but, because we are a group that becomes natural and lively when there are the 11 of us, no matter the situation the shooting can be harmonious and fun.
Please tell us a trick to deeply experience the photobook! There are also pictures when we stood on stage for the release event of our second single “STARGAZER“, if you look at those while listening to the songs from that single, you can experience it for real. Also, I might as well want you to have a sweet feeling, so please look at it while eating chocolate -laughs-
Is there any secret story that isn’t reflected on the pages? When Takumi ate bread during a break, he stained the requisites of the shooting site with ketchup. It was like the mistake of a kindergarten child -laughs- He apologised sincerely and managed to get the things done without leaving any dirt.
What is your goal for 2021, the 2nd year after the debut? I want to evolve for sure so that the fans think “it was good to wait”. Personally, my goal is that people don’t just think “His dancing is good”, but also “he’s a member who is good at singing and rapping at a high level.” Throwing away the excuse of “because we are still beginners” and I want to continue to work hard together as 11 members.
It’s been about a year since the debut and steadily you have improved your handsomeness, but is there any cosmetic technique you want to recommend to working women? That the condition of my skin is good recently, might be thanks to the cosmetics of Yves Saint Laurant who is JO1’s official supporter -laughs- I think it’s surely the perfect brand for adult women who want to take care of themselves. I also put a hot towel on my face and then use cleansing. Also, I keep in mind that I always try to be as polite as possible.
Soon it will be spring = the meeting season. You leave a strong first impression, so please tell us what to keep in mind when you meet someone for the first time. What I keep in mind is to have a clear posture and to always smile -laughs- I’m simply someone who loves easily, but it’s because I believe “good fortune and happiness will come to the home of those who smile”. Also, I would be glad if we can infect everyone who looks at this photo book with our smiles. I’m dreaming of the day when we meet you directly at a live concert and the 11 members are charging up with power, so until this day, I would like you to feel our existence next to you by opening the photo book.
