[JO1] Junon 220820

Discovering a new side of the members
Junki: A new side I discovered of the members recently is that Keigo is surprisingly good at cooking.
Syoya: He brought his self made bento to a shooting site.
Keigo: That’s right. I’m surprisingly domestic (laughs)
Syoya: He let me eat it.
Sho: What dish was it?
Syoya: Something like chicken breast with garlic
Keigo: I just roasted chicken breast.
Junki: I think people who can cook talk like this.
Ren: You can make it by intuition.
Keigo: I think I’m good at grilling meat. Also Karaage.
Sho: That's something you make for everyone, right?
Ren: If I made something for 11 people, it would be pork kimchi fried rice.
Shosei: Eh, I want to eat this!
Sho: But the kitchen is small, so it would be hard. Also the cleaning.
Keigo: I will do it when we have a big kitchen (laughs)

At the end of the challenge there was a new self
Sho: Since this year started, team activities, and at the same time, also the individual challenges like variety shows have increased, so I think everyone is discovering their own new potentials.
Junki: I think a new me isn’t something to be discovered.
Ruki: What are you saying? (Laughs)
Junki: If you don’t challenge something and take action, you can’t discover something new. In the creation of the new song, everyone worked hard to express a new self.
Takumi: That is discovering (laughs).
Junki: So it's not so much a discovery as it is the end of the path that has been followed.
Ren: So you mean?
Junki: I really worked hard (laughs)

The coolest JO1 ever!
Takumi: The lead track “REAL” of the new single, is full of the feeling of when you are in a long dark tunnel and imagine a dream, once it becomes real you don’t want to be alone but you want to see this scenery with everyone together.
Issei: The melody is cool and I think the most mature JO1 ever is shown.
Sho: The point is the “Hug Dance”. The characteric is that there are a lot of parts when the members dance in pairs and it might be a highlight that hasn’t been in our songs before. The intro starts from the pair performance of Takumi and Mame, but it’s strong and cool.
Issei: In the beginning it’s just the two of us, so I’m really nervous.
Shosei: We enter later, so I feel a bit at ease (laughs)
Takumi: We dance in harmony and charm.
Ren: After that it’s the pair of me and Shion.
Shion: It’s a dance that involves walking.
Sho: Through the song, the members show performances in various formations, so please look forward to it!

Our future forecast
Sho: JO1’s first live show has been decided for winter! I’m looking forward to being able to meet JAM. I hope to show a new JO1 then.
Junki: You will discover a new JO1.
Sho: We also work hard to be active world wide.
Syoya: Abujimayo. (Take care of yourself)

Who is the No.1 strange character?
Junki: The strangest character in JO1 might be Shosei.
Sho: Shosei confuses the intonation from time to time.
Issei: In this case Sho-kun is also strange.
Sukai: He tries to get away with everything by “because in Okinawa”. He is naturally strange (laughs).
Junki: At that one event, we had something like a packing showdown, but when the winner was determined at the end, Sho-kun said “draw” which surprised me.
Ren: His kindness (laughs)
Keigo: Shosei seems to think of himself as a protagonist of an anime.
Takumi: I was about to say it!
Shosei: Don’t say it! (Laughs)
Ruki: Previously, “Because I practised Mario Kart” he came into the battle with full confidence, but I placed 6th and Shosei 8th.
Shion: You did Mario Kart for the first time, right?
Ruki: Moreover it seemed like he thought he can win by practising for 30 minutes (laughs)
Sho: So strange~
Shosei: You got me~ (laughs)
Ren: Syoya and Shion are also strange characters.
Sukai: The congratulated in a not so normal way on Takumi’s birthday.
Syoya: The Happy Birthday To You EDM version.
Sho: It’s Happy Birthday pii poo (and with that a passionate reenactment!)
Syoya & Shion: Happy Birthday Day Takumi-kuun! Happy Birthday to you you you you you you! Abujimayo (everyone breaks out laughing!).
Sho: Abujimayo is Korean for “take care of yourself”.
Ruki: It’s genius (laughs)
