[ORβIT] GIANNA 210413

First GIANNA appearance of ORβIT, the super popular Japanese-Korean 7 member group! Big release of a honest talk about love, friendship, music and more which wasn’t talked about before!

TOMO: I wasn’t interested in anything but singing and I finally arrived here.
YOUNGHOON: If it’s not heartfelt, that relationship will crumble on the spot.
HEECHO: Because I’m bad at expressing myself in words.
SHUNYA: I feel like slowly I can like my singing voice.
JUNE: Since I listened to Eminen and was shocked.
YUGO: When I noticed it, I liked it.
YOONDONG: I want to bring high quality songs and performances

Q1: When you meet a girl the first time, where do you pay attention to first?
TOMO: Actually, I haven’t paid attention to that yet, but when we talk, I look at her eyes, so it might be those? Girls with beautiful hair are also lovely. Also, I have a thing for legs.
YOUNGHOON: I pay attention to the words and actions they use towards seniors. That’s an important point for me.
HEECHO: Atmosphere.
SHUNYA: I think I want to enjoy food and shopping with each other, so it might be that I pay attention to the attitude and wording towards the clerks. Because if you are a scary person, I might become uncomfortable and exhausted -laughs-
JUNE: There is a lot, but it’s nice when the perfume or shampoo has a nice smell! Whenever I go out I use perfume, too.
YUGO: It’s her hair. When I see women who have smooth black hair, I end up following her with my eyes.
YOONDONG: I pay attention to the atmosphere. Rather than paying attention to one thing, I'm someone who looks at the surrounding aura and atmosphere.

Q2: In order to make the girl like you, which charm do you bring out?
TOMO: I’m not good at that, so I might be just able to tell her that I like her. Also, staying natural as much as possible so that the other likes me for who I am.
YOUNGHOON: There isn’t any charm that I have shown so far or that I should show. I think the best is when she sees my actual self and naturally starts to like me.
HEECHO: The ones who daringly not do anything might be noticed.
SHUNYA: I’m someone quite friendly towards girls, but I’m a late bloomer towards the one I like, so I’ll start with polishing myself -explodes in laughing- With this person as my motivation in order to become a cool guy I will work hard to become more and more handsome from the parts that can be changed like working out or clothes!
JUNE: I’m going to attack ravenously without giving up until I’m liked. From time to time I might act like I’m not interested, but then I’m attacking again!
YUGO: I think I try to look neat even on OFF days. Actually I have no idea through… -laughs-
YOONDONG: I will be kind until she likes me. I try to understand this person little by little, match my preferences to them and make them like me naturally.

Q3: When it comes to date fashion what is the part that you give your all about?
TOMO: I might be shoes? I’m not stylish so I have no idea
YOUNGHOON: It’s not fashion, but perfume. Because the memories that remain together with the smell will be vividly recalled in the moment I smell that scent.
HEECHO: atmosphere
SHUNYA: Normally, I don’t use it at all, but when I want to aim high or on an important day I often use perfume! During the online singing for “OO” there were a lot of questions about “perfume”, but actually I want “perfume” to be something special when we meet, so I didn’t answer -sweats- I’m sorry!
JUNE: I think I’m the most hyped about tops! It’s the part that’s the most noticeable, so I want to keep in mind a sense of cleanliness and the attire that fits the fashion of the other one.
YUGO: Because I’m short, it’s pants. I wear flare pants and make a cord that takes care of the length.
YOONDONG: I give my all about bringing out a natural feeling that looks like I’m not giving my all -laughs- A showy style is also good, but I like simple fashion that is mainly casual.

Q4: An imagined date plan of what you want to do in spring?
TOMO: I want to do something like making a spring-ish lunchbox, going to watch the cherry blossoms and go on a walk with the dog in the park. Spring is pleasantly warm, so a date outside might be nice.
YOUNGHOON: I want to go to watch the cherry blossoms or to a festival in the cherry blossom season. Since I was born I haven’t done that yet.
HEECHO: I’m not someone who is energetic … or who makes plans so… eh, maybe going on a drive…
SHUNYA: We decide on the schedule in advance, but we arrange the meeting time while exchanging messages and while wandering around we search for shops and parks that we both enjoy. In the evening it would be nice if we eat some delicious food and drink alcohol and go home while sobering up or wandering around again.
JUNE: I want to go out on a day with good weather and eat something at various shops! I want to eat and drink delicious things little by little.
YUGO: We buy delicious coffee and bread and go on a drive along the shore while listening to our favorite music! It’s nice if we can take a walk at night while watching the cherry blossoms.
YOONDONG: Going to watch the cherry blossoms and a drive on a day with good weather!

Q5: What words from a girl would you make the most happy?
TOMO: I might be happy when she tells me that she likes my voice. Because singing is my profession, I’ll be very happy if my voice and my singing is praised.
YOUNGHOON: YOUNGHOON-san is cool and gentle! I will forever support you.
HEECHO: Well, I’m not really a person who is influenced by the words of others so…
SHUNYA: It’s “lovely”. Normally, when I praise other people, it’s hard to use words like “lovely” and it’s a bit embarrassing with adult-like words… Especially that’s why I want to become able to use it myself and I would be very happy to hear it!
JUNE: Simply, I will be happy if someone says I’m “cool”. When I’m told this my mood raises.
YUGO: There is nothing in particular. Regardless of being a man or a woman, if you can express your gratitude, it will feel honest and warm.
YOONDONG: “Here is the coffee that you ordered” (Because I love Starbucks) -laughs-

Q6: What is your favourite song until now?
TOMO: Of course, I like all songs, but it might be the ballad “Flor Luner” from the new album. When I listened to the demo track, I made everyone do it because I wanted to do it in any way -laughs-
YOUNGHOON: I like “Dionaea” which is featured on our new mini album “Enchant”. I like it since the stage of being a demo and I want to perform it live soon.
HEECHO: I favour my own songs and I value all of them. I think I wouldn’t release not even one song I don’t like.
SHUNYA: No idea~~~ -laughs- I think for “OO” we choose nothing but good songs, but if I had to choose one, it’s “Ready to burn”! Personally, I rarely like such powerful songs, but the lyrics really do match our mental attitude before the debut and I think JUNE-kun really wrote good lyrics.
JUNE: It’s “Dionaea”! I wrote the lyrics and it’s a song I’m really fond of. I tried to write lyrics that fit the concept and included rapping, so please listen to it!
YUGO: I think there are a lot of people who like “Crazy Love” and “Bloom” among ORβIT’s songs, but I like “Show Off” which showcased that I can also do such songs.
YOONDONG: I like all of them, but of course “Lazurite” which was the first song we published is something special among them.

Q7: Please tell us about your favourite phrase from the new mini album!
TOMO: It is “I wish it was the reason that his garden became a thorny shrub and I can’t go home” from the ballad this time. All songs have really good phrases, so everyone please discover a lot of those.
YOUNGHOON: The last part of “Gokurakuchouka ~ Bird of Paradise~”. The gentle atmosphere of the singing makes it more touching.
HEECHO: The phrases from “Flor Luner” “At least don’t wake me if the dream bubble breaks.” and “I want to stay beautiful, and looking down flowers are nimbly”
SHUNYA: I like the phrase from the chorus of “Blind” “blindfold of sin~”Actually, I think that phrase is a poem that expresses the song “Blind” well and it’s based on JUNE-kun’s idea, so please pay attention to it when listening!
JUNE: It’s the part “To the point that I don’t care whether it’s a rusty cage” from “Gokurakuchouka ~ Bird of Paradise~”! I think there are many things that seem rusty on the surface when you look at their essence they are something wonderful.
YUGO: It’s the phrase “an appropriate defect” from “Never gonna get away” which I wrote the lyrics for. It’s hard to understand conflicting words, but you will understand it when you progress through the story. There isn’t one answer, so please think about it.
YOONDONG: I like the sound of “Never gonna get away” from the song with the same name.

Q8: During your music activities, was there a moment when you thought you are glad that you are doing this with these members?
TOMO: I always think that, but it might be when we happily eat something or fool around no matter if it’s during work or outside of work. Each one's personality is absolutely different, everyone is unique and I never get tired of it -laughs.
YOUNGHOON: When the members sing a ballad together. It’s difficult to express your emotions in a ballad, but everyone expresses their own colour perfectly, so I feel that’s amazing.
HEECHO: It seems like the reason why I want to be active for a long time is that I want more moments when I think so.
SHUNYA: After all, it was the moment when the first album was completed and I listened to the songs. I thought that the voices and colours of each person played the role of good spices, and I thought I’ll do my best not to lose to these people, so it was the moment when I felt again that we are members of the same group.
JUNE: It’s all the members! Everyone has something that I don’t have and I’m always motivated by them, so I feel I want to work harder.
YUGO: Everyone is gentle and the atmosphere in the group is good, so I always feel it’s good that we are together.
YOONDONG: When we completed ORβIT’s debut album “OO” and listened to the songs together, I was really happy and felt blessed.

Q9: Please tell us how you started to like music and dancing!
TOMO: In the beginning I didn’t like singing, but when I was a middle or high school student, I sang seriously and since then I suddenly liked to sing. Since that day, I wasn’t interested in anything but singing and it brought me here. -laughs-
YOUNGHOON: There was a famous dancer that I like during my time as a university student and while watching these videos a lot I ended up falling for the charms of dancing.After that when I embraced the dream of a choreographer and worked as a backdancer for TV programs, there was an offer from an agency and I debuted.
HEECHO: Because I think I’m bad at expressing myself with words.
SHUNYA: To be honest, I hated singing. I didn’t like my voice and much more I didn’t like my singing voice. But since I joined ORβIT, whenever EαRTH who support me or the members praise me, slowly I become confident and I feel like I can like my singing voice.
JUNE: I was shocked when I first listened to Eminen after a friend at school recommended him to me. From there on I started to listen to various music genres and noticed how wonderful music is!
YUGO: While I watched the high level songs, dancing and rapping from K-POP artists and imitated those, I noticed that I ended up liking it.
YOONDONG: Since I was young I watched a lot of music programs, so naturally I started to like singing and dancing.

Q10: When doing music activities what is something you value?
TOMO: It’s something obvious, but it’s to continually grow in order to do each song as good as possible. I don’t want to compromise on anything for sure, so I’ll do everything I can in this case.
YOUNGHOON: It’s sincerity. I think that in the relationship of mankind supporting each other, if you are not heartfelt, this relationship will crumble on the spot.
HEECHO: Placing your identity and feelings into a song.
SHUNYA: I value “the things I like”. After all, there are preferences in music and those are different among the members, too. But it’s consistent to do the things you like! Especially that’s why there are times when you come in conflict, but I feel like when there are clashes something good can result from it!!!
JUNE: It’s balancing the music that you want to express yourself with and the music that the fans and people who don’t know you yet would like.
YUGO: Not to make compromises. It’s the job of an artist to use sounds to deliver a lot of thoughts to everyone, so I won’t even compromise a bit. I think it’s time to quit when you start to compromise.
YOONDONG: I value quality the most. I want to bring high quality music and performances to the people who listen to our music.

Q11: What do you want to do with the members now? Where do you want to go?
TOMO: When the current awful situation has calmed down, I want to travel abroad. I want to visit various places and more than anything else I want to do lives and go on tour. But just eating with everyone is already fun, so everything is fine -laughs-
YOUNGHOON: I want to take a VLOG of all members borrowing a car and going on a trip. The destination doesn’t matter. Because no matter where we go it will be the happiest place on earth.
HEECHO: More than something like what we are doing or where we are going, I just want us to be together.
SHUNYA: I want to have a live!! I really want to bring live the 7 members singing and dancing to all the fans who support us. When I first saw a live of a male artist, I thought “I want to become someone who can give a time that you can forget yourself in”, so together with these members and the fans I want to have a live as soon as possible where we can share the same room and time.
JUNE: It’s fun no matter where we go if all members gather, so I want to gather as soon as possible. I want to have silly conversations with everyone the whole time!
YUGO: I want to have a BBQ in the depth of the mountains. I really like the mountains, so I want to eat delicious meat there. I want to have various talks with the members during the BBQ.
YOONDONG: I want to go on vacation with all members and eat lots of delicious things! The destination could be the sea!? But, it’s fine no matter where we go because I want us to go together!

Q12: Who is the most hardworking member? Who is the loveable one?
TOMO: Because everyone is working hard, I can’t decide on who works the hardest, but SHUNYA who had the mind that he wasn’t good at singing really makes an effort. Whenever we go through the recordings repeatedly, he steadily becomes better, so it’s joyous to see. The loveable one is absolutely YUGO -laughs-
YOUNGHOON: SHUNYA. When we practised the choreography in Japan, it took some individual practise to match everyone, but I was impressed that he practised alone a lot to the point that I really wanted to say “Stop it!”. The loveable one… It should be YUGO? -laughs- He’s cute no matter what he does.
HEECHO: It’s that everyone works hard, but each member has different attribute values, so I can’t judge who is the most hardworking one. I think everyone is doing their biggest efforts… And who is beloved is YUGO for sure. From the viewpoint of his big brothers, no matter what he does, it seems cute.
SHUNYA: The most hardworking member might be YUGO! He is the greediest member or that he is very intense and aiming high. That’s why, when I see this YUGO, I’m always motivated!! The lovable one might unexpectedly be JUNE-kun -breaks out laughing- Both the Korean and Japanese members repeatedly joke with him and he often relaxes the atmosphere.
JUNE: Both the hard worker and the loveable one is YUGO! Also during practise he stoically works hard and even during shootings he is loved due his lots of cuteness!
YUGO: JUNE is both. His efforts regarding the things he likes are amazing. No matter what you let him do, he can do it, so there are times when I think “Was that really an effort?” -laughs- Also, JUNE is the one who is the biggest jester in the group.
YOONDONG: Everyone is making a lot of efforts, but I think among them Shunya is very seriously working hard. That’s why he is loved by everyone.

Q13: If a fight happens with another member, how would you reconcile?
TOMO: There might not have been a true fight yet. Of course, when doing our activities, we talk with each other a lot so that we can understand the opinions, but because we can talk with each other, it hasn’t become something like a fight.
YOUNGHOON: There was no fight yet, but if there was one, I think first I would apologise in Japanese and reconcile.
HEECHO: There was no fight yet, so.. We will inform you how we make up if there is a fight in the near future.
SHUNYA: There was no fierce fight yet, but something like a small quarrel? But after a while everything returned to normal, so I don’t have any special reconcile experience. But there might be some in the future -laughs-
JUNE: There wasn’t such a fight yet, but if there was one we would talk with each other earnestly and settle it.
YUGO: Because everyone is quite old, there was no big fight yet. Even when there was one by talking with each other we would reconcile fast.
YOONDONG: I don’t know because there wasn’t a fight yet.

Q14: Please tell us about a secret “2nd face” of a member!
TOMO: I feel like pretty much all members are good guys who don’t have a second face -laughs- If I had to say something, it’s SHUNYA and JUNE who have a silly side and quite like to joke around, so that the settings are always lively. They really become like kids -laughs-
YOUNGHOON: I think the members know everything about me until my private side, so there is no second face.
HEECHO: I think to some extent I showed everything.
SHUNYA: HEECHO-san’s cheeks become bigger when he pronounces “so” -breaks out laughing- It becomes like “ah so!” Everyone please try to pay attention to this!!
JUNE: HEECHO-kun is a loner. I often end up being surprised because he suddenly contacts me -laughs-
YUGO: The fans might think HEECHO is not a human, but something like a godlike being, but actually he is the most human one.
YOONDONG: I’m someone who cries on the spot when there is a sad scene in a drama or movie, but I’ve noticed that I didn’t show that to the members yet.

Q15: Please tell us about your goal for this year and for the future!
TOMO: This year the awful current situation finally passes, I want to bring our music to the fans at a live as soon as possible. Also, I want to make a year when a lot of people will listen to our music.
YOUNGHOON: It will be a topic that once COVID is over, I want to do lives and fanmeetings and I want to take a VLOG of traveling with all the members.
HEECHO: Realistically, first it’s getting the members together.
SHUNYA: It’s “”Performing with the 7 members!!!!!!!” In 2020 due to COVID we couldn’t travel between Japan and South Korea and the time we had together was really short, so I hope 2021 becomes a year when the 7 members can be together. I want to make a year of ORβIT with EαRTH.
JUNE: I want to be more known by people who don’t know us yet. I will work hard to release a lot of songs this year so that everyone can support me even more!
YUGO: I wish we can have a live with all 7 members. Because we have a lot of wonderful songs, I want to work hard so that people who don’t know us yet will listen to those.
YOONDONG: My aim is that more people get to know about ORβIT, releasing lots of works and more than anything having a live as soon as possible.
