[OWV] The reason why he changed his lifestyle and says “My recent boom is to wake up early” is…?

The 4 member boy group OWV will be releasing their 6th single “Time Jackerz” under the concept of “Live” on 27 July. Inspired by the leadtrack “Time Jackerz” , CLASSY brings you an interview with the topic “time” in which OWV are dressed in the timeless and classic “Parisian casual” style. The last one is OWV’s aniki Honda Kosuke-kun who captivates with his powerful dancing.

I recently moved and… “The time to meet people” has increased!

Just like our readers, OWV are doing a lot of things both at work and in private. Please tell us whether you have any specialities or habits on how you use your time?
I hope to increase the time spend with other people, both at work and in private. With the staff members on a schedule or with friends that I could not meet easily… And actually I moved recently! I made a fresh start after living at the same place for nearly 8 years and my current home is closer to the area where I work, which allowed me to shorten my commuting time. Because of this my personal time has increased. Now I can get ready to go out while gracefully taking my time to listen to music. In the last two years I could hardly meet people casually, so I want to take advantage of this newly gained time to gradually increase my time to interact with lots of different people.

Spending some leisure time at the cinema… That’s what I would do if I could control time

If you could timejack one day, what would you do?
If I think realistically I would go out somewhere. Because I feel that I want to make this free day a special time. I’m actually an indoor person, so when I had a free day I would just sleep, but recently I like to wake up early. The other day I went to sleep at 4 in the morning and woke up at 6 am again, even though I had no plans for that day (laughs). Back then, I went to the area where I used to live! I’m not riding the train anymore which I used to take pretty much every day for 7 years, so for the first time in a while I took it and leisurely did some shopping… Yet it’s only been 3 months since I moved (laughs)!

When I think not so realistically, if I could timejack a day, I would rent out a whole cinema and take my time to watch some movies all by myself! I would randomly watch anime, dramas and other things I am interested in on the big screen. I usually wear a hat (when I go to the cinema) and it’s so hot under it~ I want to take off my hat and the mask and enjoy the movie at my pace while eating popcorn in a more casual manner.

Sure enough OWV is what I want to love my whole life long!

Is there any “thing/event you love timelessly”?
Sure enough it’s OWV. I believe it is something I will love and be loved my whole life long! The answer is a little too perfect, isn’t it? (laughs)

If I chose something specific, it would be my projector. I recently bought a projector with lighting, so when I am at home I always watch videos and movies on the big screen. It’s completely different from watching things on my phone. It also has speakers, so the sound comes down from the ceiling. It makes me feel as if I was in a cinema, so I think I will love it timelessly. Right, I love cinemas! I think I could live in one for a week without a problem (laughs).

I want to constantly evolve the raw OWV that appeals at live shows

If you were to promise a “timeless charm” of OWV to QWV, what would it be?
Our live performances. We keep in mind to have a concert that makes the audience forget the time. Also the concept of our 6th single is “live”. We always put emphasis on the “live” experience in our performances. During rehearsals, we spend a lot of time on how to make the live show more exciting, such as how to encourage the audience, how to ask questions to the audience, and when to say the right things! You can see there the true essence of OWV, which is completely different from what you can see in our music videos and other videos, so please come to our live performances.

Lastly, if you were to pick just one “timeless masterpiece” from the new single, which song would it be?
“Time Jackerz”. I think it is a song that is in a good sense not contemporary, but it also doesn’t feel old, rather it has a timeless charm. It’s also perfect to blast if you gear yourself up, thinking “I want to do a little better from now on” or if you just want to immerse yourself into the music without thinking much. You can follow the beat the whole song, so in no matter what situation you are listening to it, you will feel hyped up! Please make sure to check it out!
