JO1‘s anime situation
In connection with the anime tie-ups “Move The Soul” and “Prologue” featured on the album. What kind of anime have the members come in touch with?

Do you usually watch anime?
Keigo: I love “HUNTER X HUNTER”. There are a lot of characters I like, but I especially like the enemy characters. The backstory of the enemies has been properly drawn out, too, so I ended up liking them.
Sukai: I also like “HUNTER X HUNTER” the most. I like that the main character has also a very positive side, and not only are the enemy characters strong, but they also have uncommon abilities and each one of them got something charming.
Shosei: I really want to see the rest soon.
Keigo: Because I’m ready to spend all my savings! I want to read the rest in some way or another!
Shosei: I like “To Aru Kagaku no Railgun”. It is a not so recent anime, but the art is beautiful and the development of each episode is well done and it is exciting. The work is based in the city of Tachikawa in Tokyo and I would like to make a pilgrimage there.
Sho: It’s “Poppey” for me when it comes to anime! I often watched cartoons since I was a young boy and I loved “Powerpuff girls” and “Tom & Jerry”!
Ruki: Ah, I cried heavily when I watched “Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day”.
Sho: You cried when watching anime, Ruki?
Ruki: I cried from the start to the end.
Shosei: You (always) act so tough! (laughs)
Ruki: After reading “Anohana” my dislike for manga disappeared and I also read mangas such as “Attack on Titan” or “Tokyo Ghoul” and watched the anime. Right now, I’m looking forward to the “Attack on Titan” season next year.
Issei: I like “Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam”. My parents like Gundam and I started to like it due to their influence. In Gundam the story about the people is really interesting. In “Zeta Gundam” they transform into planes… (an unstoppable fast & passionate talk)
Shosei: He is so enthusiastic…
Sho: I wonder how many years it would take to finish the whole series starting today?
Issei: I think it will take some time. There are connected episodes and unconnected ones. Right now with “Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn” the foreshadowing from back then has been retrieved so… (endlessly continues)
Sho: O-okay, I got it! (laughs)

Hahaha we will continue slowly (laughs).
Takumi: In “Shaman King” the main character Asakura Yoh keeps on saying “Everything will work out” and I think I can learn from his mindset. It is cool to say “Everything will work out” no matter how strong your enemy is.
Shion: My choice is Rem from “Re:Zero” (Re:Zero: Starting Life in Another World). The aqua hair suits her so well. So much that I want to dye my hair in this colour, too. She is wholeheartedly kind and really cute. She confessed to the person she likes knowing he likes someone else, but back then I said “Why are you not choosing Rem?”. I think I speak for about 80% of the fans in this regard.
Ren: I like the moment when seemingly laidback characters get serious. For example, characters like (Nara) Shikamaru from “NARUTO”. I like how they bring out their hidden powers when their friends are in trouble.
Syoya: I like the scene in “Guilty Crown” when Daryl Yan is told “Please live” in the moment when he is let go but refuses to do so. I like such a passionate feeling, or when a character takes a stand to protect someone.
Junki: I like the story arc of “The lying Noland” before they go to the sky islands in “ONE PIECE”. Despite discovering a treasure island, it was launched in the sky and became a sky island, making the original place disappear, so everyone calls him a liar but lastly his descendants and Luffy discover it and prove it was not a lie.
Ren: Can I add something here? (laughs) When Luffy found the sky island and the treasure he says in his heart “Old man, the island is here”, but actually in “ONE PIECE” it is not the intention of the mangaka Oda Eiichirou to write Luffy’s inner voice. But this is the sole scene where he did so.
Takumi: For real? Now I want to read the manga. But I only read until Shirahoshi’s part.
Ren: I think in this case you are about two thirds from there?
Shion: You can still catch up!
