[OWV] What is the “emotional summer memory” that Sano Fumiya-kun has made with the other members…?

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. The fourth one is with Sano Fumiya-kun who contributes to OWV’s performances with his ethereal visuals and overwhelming performance skills.

FUMIYA SANO
Born 25 May 1997. 25 years old.From the prefecture Yamanashi. A talented dancer who has a lot of experience as a back dancer for national and international artists. By choreographing some of OWV’s songs and more, he contributes to the high quality of their performances.

I ought to be the one who can handle bugs the best in the group…! Honda-kun meanwhile is the weakest (laughs)

When you hear the word “summer”, what is the first thing that comes into your mind?
Bugs! (laughs) Don’t they become more in summer? I believe I can handle them the best out of the OWV members. When I was in elementary school, I once caught a palm-sized spider with my hands (With a proud expression he retold it ‘I caught it like this from above and threw it away’). By the way, Honda-kun is the weakest when it comes to insects. He reacts insanely loudly in front of it. Like “Uwaaa!”. When I hear him I wonder “What’s wrong?”, but then I look at him and it’s just a drone beetle… This small beetle causes him to be louder than during a live show. I want him to stop, however, cause it’s bad for his heart (laughs).

I want to enjoy a music festival with a frankfurter in my hand

Do you have a place you want to visit with the members this summer?
I would like to go to a lot of music festivals also to learn more. Well, actually I would prefer to appear there myself than just to watch it. I want to eat and drink something with others while listening to the music of various other artists! It would also be fun to enjoy it as if it was a summer festival with some yakisoba or frankfurter in my hands.

That too lucky and blissful summer moment with GariGari-kun…!

What kind of day would be “the best summer day” for you?
A day where I keep on winning more GariGari-kun! Wouldn’t that be awesome? You could stay cool the whole time (laughs). By the way, I guess the maximum I can eat is 15.
TN: GariGari-kun is a flavored ice popsicle brand in Japan and when you finish eating it, the message that you can win another one might appear on its wooden stick.

The DIY was a failure! This is the year to enjoy “Soumen that flow”!

Please tell us what comes into your mind when you hear the word “summer food”.
Nagashi Soumen! I made those alone at home last year. Instead of a typical store bought appliance, I made it myself by cutting a leftover plastic bottle in half and taped it together from the kitchen tap to the living room. Then, when I tried to make it flow, the water leaked out halfway because it was so poorly made, so the corridor became all wet (laughs). Because it turned out to be a failure it became “non flowing soumen”, so this year I want to build it together with the members so that it will flow and to make “Soumen that flow”!
TN: Nagashi Soumen = literal translation “Flowing Soumen”
Soumen = a type of Japanese noodles
To better imagine what Fumiya tried, please check out some YouTube videos of it,

The emotional memory of chatting in a park

Tell us one of your “unforgettable summer memories”! During our show “OWV Road”, when we ended up talking at night in a park where we had driven to. We had bought snacks and drinks at a conbini and just talked. It kinda felt like youth. We passionately talked about the future of the group, what we want to do and so on. Yes, sometimes OWV can also have serious conversations (laughs).

Make sure to listen to it at a BBQ or when you are outside in summer!

Now, please pick a song from the new single that “suits summer the best”!
Fumiya: It should be “Summer Days”, right? I believe this song hypes you up no matter the time of the day and it makes you want to go and have fun even when it is hot outside. I think it would be really good to listen to it while having a BBQ.
