OWV • Nakagawa Katsunari “The blonde hair that I had during the audition program was a failure”
The boys group OWV was formed by 4 members who gathered attention during “PRODUCE 101 JAPAN”. On CLASSY.ONLINE the 4 members appear who have been drawing attention by performance power that was formed by working their way up slowly and their playful characters that are unique to Yoshimoto. They formed the group after taking the challenge at “PRODUCE 101 JAPAN”. We thoroughly asked about the reasons not to give up their dreams which had ups and downs. This time it’s the turn for OWV’s healing character Nakagawa Katsunari.
Towards the debut after experiencing the bottom. The key to gasp your dream? If I had to sum it up, it might be “acknowledge what you really want to do and take action”. Besides wanting to join the entertainment world since middle school, I wasn’t able to act accurately because of the awkwardness from puberty. Without a change, I reached my final year of university and I was on the verge of deciding whether I should search for a job. Thus, I started to take part in big agencies and joined auditions. Especially in the case of entertainment work, if you live normally, you will barely have any contact with it and without actions you can’t gasp this dream. I think the fact that I was able to acknowledge what I wanted to do and act diligently led to this result. However, to be honest, I have some dark history of those actions -laughs- when I appeared at the audition program I thought that people who stand out are able to remain, so I participated with blonde hair. Since the training camp for the audition was in South Korea, I forgot to use the silver shampoo that maintains blonde hair and I wasn’t able to get some there, so it became quite questionable blonde hair… I was enthusiastic, but it turned out to be the opposite -laughs-
Soon it will be one year since the debut. What is an event that left an impression on you? In this one year, I think everyone got to know about me being clumsy. It left an impression that from a big clumsiness to small clumsiness, I got caught on through the YouTube videos. If you want to know more, please check our official YouTube account. Recently, it was also revealed that I wash my hands with brown mouthwash. When I washed my hands at the agency, and thought “it’s not foaming…” it was unexpectedly mouthwash. Also, in the past when I went to a quite good restaurant, got coleslaw as a starter, thought “wow that’s delicious” and ate everything on the spot, the boss told me “next, comes the tartar sauce for the fried food!” Besides, debuting my original self didn’t change much and each day I’m aware that I’m clumsy. TN: coleslaw is a side dish not a starter when eating fried food.
What is the most striking point of the 3rd single “Roar”? Please tell us the inside stories of the recording! The rap is good, too, but I definitely want you to listen to the singing! The main track “Roar” means “吠える” (to roar). In the lyrics there is a beast like character and it became a track that has the image of overwhelming people. In order to express that with my voice, I was very particular about vocalizing with various paces. The featured songs of this single were chosen from about 100 song candidates. Each track is surely cool and has a full impact. There is nothing but songs that are trendy, so please listen to them. Speaking of inside stories of the recordings, there was a small incident. The floor of the warehouse-like shooting side for the title track “Roar” was really wet either due water or oil. Maybe it was in order to add an atmosphere or a nuance and I thought it was wet on purpose, but because of that an incident broke out! The dance of “Roar” has a beast like choreography and your center of balance is quite low. The lower it is, the more everyone slipped and the more NGs happened after another… I might have even ended up touching the floor already. There were so many NGs that I want to release a NG scene collection -laughs-
