Their interactions with JO1? We frankly asked OWV coming from an audition program about the group's strengths
Please tell us your strengths and each one's character! Kosuke: We are a 4 member dance vocal mass. Katsunari: A mass -laughs- Kosuke: Each one’s own individual character is absolutely different, but when we perform we become one. I think we have this kind of charm. Katsunari: Speaking of individuality, Shuta has the side that he can do everything skillfully and he is funny. I’m the type who doesn’t awake laughing when talking and I’m the one who ends up feeling down -laughs- Shuta: Because that’s not the case!!! Other than that, I’m bright and make the place become exciting. Kosuke: Because it’s better not to say it yourself -laughs- Katsunari: He is like the lubricating oil of the group -laughs- Shuta: Fumiya is the coolest one of the group. But, actually he likes comedy and our comedy sense is similar, so we often fool around. Also, he leads the group with dancing. He is the only B-type in the group (all other members are A type), so also in the aspect of personality he is different in a good way. Fumiya: Honda-kun is the leader who leads the group as the oldest member. He has deep sympathy and in a sense he’s a player. Also in the aspect of performances he takes the initiative in moving and giving lectures. And he gives appropriate advice. He is someone who moves the team into the right direction. Kosuke: Katsunari changes his personality when he plays games. Shuta: The first thing you mention, is that? Kosuke: He is always cool, but when he is excited he will say with a loud voice “it's come, it has come!!” Katsunari: I was that loud? Kosuke: You were -laughs- Normally, it feels like he does things properly and overlooks the members. For example, even when we exchange our opinions, he takes suggestions in between those. I think it’s good that he has that side that he can switch on and off properly during playful times and serious times.
About the charm of the 3rd single “Roar” Katsunari: It’s a song chosen by everyone among various others, but when I heard it, I could imagine that the track was the newest, most stylish and how we perform it. Shuta: Just like me!! Fumiya: I also felt that it’s a contemporary song. Also, simply, the dancing has become intense looking -laughs- The previous single “Ready Set Go” was like that, too, but the famous Korean dance team LOOK thought of this choreography for us. Shuta: It's really really intense dancing!! Fumiya: Everyone is always moving. Shuta: Because the choreography was done with the image of a lion this time, in order to look animal-like, our centroid is low. That’s why, at first it felt like muscle training -laughs- however now, I’m used to it. Katsunari: My favourite lyrics are in the part that Fumiya sings. “I will not be contained” and “If there is no path, you can make one” This expressed the group OWV. Kosuke: In the debut song “UBA UBA” there are the lyrics “I’m a fighter” and there is the message “Let’s crawl up” used in the title song of the second single. I like that.
On the day of the group formation April 11th, the first oneman will take place. Kosuke: (Because of the influence of COVID-19) it’s the first time that we can directly meet the fans since the formation. In a good way, I want to create a stage that betrays the expectations and I’m trying to tell everyone what I’m thinking about each day, so I’m doing it by trial and error now. Shuta: Last year on September 30 we debuted and we were able to release 3 singles and finally we do our own live. I wonder whether I can go on with this great vigour. Fumiya: Let’s go on!! Previously, I couldn’t understand it, but let’s move forward with the current feelings!! Shuta: Yes!! We were able to do our own namesake show on GYAO! and during this I shouted “This year’s OWV will taste different!”. I want to continue without forgetting this. Fumiya: Right now, you forget more than anyone else -laughs- Katsunari: -laughs- Since the group formation we were together pretty much everyday, so we became close. Kosuke: So much that we think it might be okay not to meet for some time -laughs-
How are the interactions with JO1 who come from the same audition program and are from the same agency? Kosuke: We are often in contact. When we release a new song, messages come and previously we went to eat together. Shuta: Some time ago, Ruki listened to one of the coupling songs and sent me a message saying it’s cool. Ren-kun and Fumiya exchange messages about dancing. Fumiya: That’s right. There are songs which I choreographed. When the video was uploaded, he sent me a message. When there is choreography that I also like, I ask “here, is that choreography (good)? the ad lip?” I often talk especially to the JO1 members who are close in age to us.
