Kawanishi Takumi, Sato Keigo, Tsurubo Shion & Mamehara Issei
Super hot RED - HOT
JO1 are an 11 member global boy group who charms with their singing, dancing and performances. This time, 4 of the members, Kawanishi Takumi, Sato Keigo, Tsurubo Shion and Mamehara Issei appear here! Wearing fashion with the key colour red, they made a super hot talk about the bonds with the fans and the members, their current mood and more.
What was a moment when you felt “the bond” with JAM and the JO1 members? Takumi: I strongly felt the bond with JAM when we held our first lives with an audience last year. I was moved of course by the huge amount of people in front of my eyes, as well as the ones who supported us from afar. Shion: I absolutely get this. I frequently feel the bond with the JO1 members. Because just by the way they say “Good morning” when they pass me before the practice, I can know their mood on that day (laughs). Keigo: And you will beat up the people who are in a bad mood, right? (laughs) Shion: Right, just yesterday I beat up Ren-kun and upend him… is not what I did! But when everyone is busy, it happens that we become exhausted. I feel our bond when we can be considerate of each other in such times. Like when I am not feeling well, everyone kindly keeps a good distance from me. Issei: This is something really important, isn’t it? I feel the bond when I play games with the members. A sense of unity is born when we say “Let’s go out and beat the enemy to take the first place for sure!” (laughs). Keigo: That’s why, I invited them over for good saying we can eat pizza while playing games but… Shion barely comes. Takumi and I are together a lot, but despite inviting Shion 5 times he just does not come (tears). Shion: No way, 5 times is a lie! Takumi: He really does not come. We have never seen him once (laughs). Keigo: One day, I made a plan that the 4 of us together with Ruki-kun go to an onsen, but it did not work with Shion’s schedule so we have not been able to do it yet. Shion: Isn’t it hard to suddenly move like Let’s have a party with everyone! Go to an onsen! when we have just a day off? I want to relax at home. Hm? Is this just me? Takumi: It is tiring to go there, right? Shion: But if it is a movie, I will go without any conditions. Keigo: Going to watch a movie with a lot of people? But doesn’t everyone want to watch it quietly? Issei: … We strayed from the (topic of) bonds, so let me change the topic (laughs)! Who do you think is the most hot blooded summer guy out of the members? Everyone: Junki-kun!! Takumi: He is easily moved to tears and after all he is passionate! He is also always singing in the dressing room and keeps on bumping into various things (laughs). Issei: I get energy from this side of him. Keigo: He is full of power in various aspects and leads the group. Shion: We would be happy if you support the super intense JO1 and our 2nd album “KIZUNA” that is filled with our hot passion ⭐️KegoTaku
I want to make a JO1 festival where we have fun at a night pool with JAM! Takumi: As summer comes closer, I want to smell the scent of the mosquito coil. We often had it at home. That smell is so nostalgic~ Keigo: I want to go to the pool. I think it would be interesting to have a live performance at a place like a night pool one day. I want to have something like a festival where the audience is playing in the pool, while we, as JO1, sprinkle water on them, and we all have fun together. Takumi: wow~ this is so good!!
If you compared them to a sentai hero, they would be in charge of the face and the top of the foot!? Keigo: If we became a sentai hero who is a merged robot, I would like to be the mysterious black one who appears at the last final stage of the story. Takumi: That’s the strongest one! Keigo: I would be strong, but when I merge I would be the sword or feet. Takumi or Mame could be the face, but I would transform into the top of the foot. Takumi: Your setting is so detailed (laughs). I like yellow, so I want to be the yellow one. Keigo: Is that so? I cannot imagine this. Takumi is pink! Takumi: Cause it is my member colour?
Speaking of RED… Strawberries! Strawberry picking had been super exciting♡ Takumi: What I think of when I hear RED are… Strawberries! Some time ago, we were able to go strawberry picking for a YouTube filming. There were many huge mouthwatering ones, but they were so delicious that I ate about 50 ones. It was so much fun. Keigo: eh, that’s unbelievable?! Do 50 strawberries even fit into the stomach? This was surely hard. Takumi: No, I did it~! But I was so stuffed… (laughs)
Mametsuru
There is only one single choice when it comes to a member with a red image! Shion: Sure enough it’s Mame-chan when we talk about a RED image! He is the youngest member, but he is really mature or rather I feel JO1 is helped by Mame-chan. Issei: Thank you very much. My member colour is also red, but since I grew up liking the Sentai series since I was young, but I am attracted to the red of the main characters and I would also like to become closer to this ideal. Shion: On the contrary, if I was in the Sentai series I would pick something unusual like transparent.How do Mametsuru spend a hot day on which they sympathize with each other? Shion: Don’t you feel the bliss when you enter a fully cooled room from the outside on a hot summer day? I like this feeling a lot. Fuu~♪ I feel revived. Issei: Wow! I really get it!!! Also, after drinking a gulp of ice chilled green tea or oolong tea, it is the best to take a nap in a little chilly futon wearing short sleeved clothing. Shion: This is also the best~
Games become so hot that I can’t stop playing (laughs) Issei: I am recently into a game and I play it together with Ren-kun and Syoya-kun until dawn. Shion: That, I’m curious when you stop. Issei: When I get tired I say “the next one is the last one”, but when I loose, I will be like ‘let’s play another one’. Shion: You don’t end it (laughs). But, my whole family liked monster hunter and i remember that we bought three TVs, consoles and games and we played for about 20 hours side by side.

The “KIZUNA” that makes you feel the closeness of JO1 In the new album is full of songs of which I hope they will let you know about JO1’s team work and how well we get along. My favourite song is “Walk It Like I Talk It”. So far most of our songs have a neat taste, but in this song including the dancing, makes you hyped up. I can’t wait to perform it live.
At home, I am immersed in movies I subscribed to all streaming services, but I pretty much watched everything popular such as Sci-fi, action, superheroes or Disney, so right now I’m searching for niche films. Sho-kun likes western movies, so we often talk about those, but as I watch them the most it tends to get over enthusiastic… (laughs) By the way, my favourite one is “Forest Gump”. I watched it over and over because it makes me want to do my best in life.

Q: Which is the stall you want to visit first at a summer festival? Tamasen. I met with my friends at festivals in my hometown and we often ate it together. TN: Tamasen is a dish from Nagoya. It is a snack made from eggs with various toppings Q: What do you like to put on shaved ice? Strawberry milk or Blue Hawaii! Q: Would you rather live in a hot or cold country? A cold one. But… I have no idea which country it would be (laughs). Maybe France? I would like to live in Paris. Q: The hottest purchase you made recently? Plates with a stylish design. I still display those only, but I want to make grilled king oyster mushrooms with a butter soy sauce and put it on those. Q: Which prefecture would you like to visit if you traveled inside the country in summer? Hokkaido! I haven’t been there yet. I want to eat sea food. Q: A HOT challenge, would you rather eat something super spicy or take a bath in boiling water? Eating something super spicy. Because rather than being able to handle spicy food, I can endure it. Heat is impossible for me! Q: What is the manga, anime or game you were the most into so far? I am never long into one single game. I guess i like the fighting ones? Q: Something that makes you end up being hot/passionate? Movies! The one that made me the most excited and hot lately was “Spider-Man”!
Takumi Kawanishi
I want to get excited with everyone together thanks to the new songs! The 2nd album “KIZUNA” has the wish to enjoy everything including the songs of course and also the performances along with the fans who listen to it. There are also carefree songs, so if there is the chance to perform those live, I think we can get excited together. My personal favourite song is “ZERO”. I’m drawn into it starting with the intro, so I really like it.
I like to take pamphlets home and look through them. I want to travel as much as I have been unable to do in the last years due to covid, no matter if it is inside or outside the country. If I went abroad, I would like to go to Australia or America. I like looking through those pamphlets that are found in taxis or travel agencies. Hence recently, when I find one I take it home and I look up the places I want to go while reading every bit of it (laughs).

Q: Which is the stall you want to visit first at a summer festival? Pickles on a stick!! I always end up eating those in no time as the very first thing. Q: What do you like to put on shaved ice? Condensed milk Q: Would you rather live in a hot or cold country? I am not sure but if I had to live there I would pick a hot country. Because I think it would be hard and painful to breath in a cold country (laughs) Q: The hottest purchase you made recently? A cap Q: Which prefecture would you like to visit if you traveled inside the country in summer? Wakayama. Shizuoka… There are a lot of places I want to visit to see both the sea and the city! Q: A HOT challenge, would you rather eat something super spicy or take a super hot bath? I can’t tolerate spicy food much, so I guess I will take a bath in boiling water. Q: What is the manga, anime or game you were the most into so far? Pokémon Perl Q: Something that makes you end up being hot/passionate? It is games. When I play ones that are the competition kind or have fighting content, I become passionate.Shion Tsurubo
I want you to listen to the ballads before sleeping As the title track “With Us” suggests, this album has the message of let’s grow together with us. There are various kinds of song featured and there are also some you can enjoy listening to, but “ZERO” is the one I want to especially recommend. It is a calming and soft ballad, so you should try listening to it before you go to sleep.I am into “Vietcong Ramen” which is full of stamina Right now, I’m into eating “Best condition ramen” which is shortened to “Vietcong Ramen”. It is a bit spicy and with garlic, Chili pepper, chives and other ingredients that give you stamina. I can make it myself and it is really delicious. When I eat this, I get energy on the spot. The smell, however, is quite strong (laughs). TN: ベストコンディションラーメン = Best condition ramen ベトコンラーメン = Vietcong Ramen The abbreviation kinda works if you write both words in katakana. It is a rather unknown type of ramen coming from the region around Nagoya. According to Wikipedia, it received the name in honour of the Vietcong however as the war went on it was thought to be inappropriate and customers claimed they felt better eating it hence it became ‘Best condition ramen’.

I prefer potato chips over shaved ice. Q: Would you rather live in a hot or cold country? I am not good with too hot summers. I love the winter, so I want to drink a thick and warm soup in a cold country. Q: The hottest purchase you made recently? A dark grey foldable wallet! It was love on the first sight and I finally bought a new one after the long one I bought when I made the debut. Q: Which prefecture would you like to visit if you traveled inside the country in summer? To the sea of Okinawa! When we went to the sea before, it was really good. I want to go again. Q: A HOT challenge, would you rather eat something super spicy or take a bath in boiling water? I’m good with both, so I could eat something super spicy while taking a bath in boiling water. Q: What is the manga, anime or game you were the most into so far? Monster Hunter Q: Something that makes you end up being hot/passionate? My favourite character “Rem-chan”. I have more than 20 figures of her.Issei Mamehara
Enjoy the expressions of the new us During the recording of the album my schedule made me unable to listen to the other member’s singing, but when I listened to the finished song I thought that everyone sounded so good and cool. We also filmed the PV with a mature atmosphere and there is also a catchy choreography, so I think you can see a new side of JO1. I hope you can find various expressions of us!
I’m crazy about saunas no matter at home or outside I really like saunas and recently there was some free time between MV filmings, so I went together with Sho-kun and Junki-kun! Both the fresh air bath and cold water bath were great and afterwards we ate together and it was a really fun time. By the way, I wanted to have a sauna feeling at home so I closed the lid of the bath tube just barely with 42~43℃ of hot water and had a pseudo sauna while watching videos on my smartphone (laughs).
