[OWV] What Urano Shuta-kun wants to do in order to make “the best summer day” happen is…?

The popular boy group OWV will be releasing their 6th single “Time Jackerz” under the concept of “Live” on 27 July. This summer we can finally enjoy typical summer events again. Along with photos of OWV wearing Yukata, we bring you interviews with each member under the theme of “Enjoying summer!”, where we talk about summer-related topics. As the third interview we bring you one with Urano Shuta-kun, their main vocalist who has a variety skills and a free and high voice that both improve day by day.

SHUTA URANO
Born 17 June 1997. 25 years old. From the prefecture Kanagawa. He is the main vocalist with a rich and expansive high voice. He is also the mood maker of the group who has been refining his skills to respond in variety programs over the years.

Eating watermelon after dinner is a bliss 🤍

When you hear the word “summer”, what is the first thing that comes into your mind?
Summer means~ cicadas!

By the way, Sano-kun also answered “bugs”.
No it was almost the same! Well then, watermelon! I love those. At home, we serve watermelon after dinner during this season. Actually, it is already like this. I eat quite a lot of it. It is best to eat some chilled watermelon after coming home from the summer heat outside.

It is a bit of a cliche, but I want to travel to Hawaii with everyone

Do you have a place you want to visit with the members this summer?
I want to go to Hawaii with them~ We ride a banana boat or jetski and when we are tired we chill at the beach or in the hotel. At night we eat a delicious steak and watch the beautiful scenery… Ah this would be so nice~ It is hot in Hawaii, but just being in another country is great! But we have to be careful not to get sunburnt (laughs). Ah, I want to fly to Hawaii right now!

The ideal day would be full of the things I like to do… gym, sauna, movies and dramas.

What kind of day would be “the best summer day” for you?
I would wake up a bit early. It is nice to spend a whole day sleeping, but I might regret it a little later. I wake up at 6, drink coffee and eat some bread, before going out. I guess I could go to Hawaii just like this~ (laughs) Just kidding, if I stay realistically, I would go to the gym and sauna! I want to spend it efficiently, doing all the things I like! But since it’s summer… It’s a bit of an hassle to leave the house during the day… (laughs) Just like Katsu-kun I hate the heat.If I wanted to make a blazing hot summer day the best summer day, I would get up early, but I would only leave the house in the evening! I would go shopping then. During the day, I would watch movies and dramas, turn on the air conditioner to the highest level, eat watermelon and relax! I am too much an indoor person, right? (laughs)

Competing with everyone in a fast eating challenge!

Please tell us what comes into your mind when you hear the word “summer food”.
Cucumbers!
(When he answered this, Honda-kun teased from the side “But you don’t even eat those!”)
Alright, watermelon! No, Kakigori. Last year we all made Kakigori together and ate it. This year I want to make a fast eating challenge out of it. Like who can eat Kakigori the fastest (laughs)

Onsen and a drive along the coast… Especially this year I want to travel with the members!

Tell us one of your “unforgettable summer memories”!
Shuta: The summer of PDJ~ Something more recent would be our “-WIND-” live! There are barely any special summer memories as OWV, so I would like to travel with the members even if it is somewhere close. Or we could go to an Onsen or on a drive. A drive along the shore would be nice… Yes, it would surely be fun! (Urano-kun seemed happy while he imagined this 🤍)

What is the song that makes Urano-kun say “When it comes to summer, there is only this one choice!”?

Now, please pick a song from the new single that “suits summer the best”!
Shuta: No matter how I look at it, it’s “Summer Days”. It is the only possible choice because the song is perfect for this summer. I want you to listen to it on blazing hot days or in midsummer. Or when you do something outside, or in the train or car when you go to a music festival or summer festival. But, you have to stay quiet even if you unintentionally get into the mood. Everyone, please stay quiet on the train!
