OWV’s Sano Fumiya-kun: “Shuta is a hard working vocalist” When doing a character analysis of the other members…

The popular boy group OWV released their 7th single “Let Go” under the concept of “holding close” on 2nd November. We based the interview on the keyword “self affirmation” based on one of the coupling songs, “Gonna Getcha”, a cheer song for people who want to raise their self confidence. The first interview is with Sano Fumiya-kun who leads OWV with his stunning dance performances.

FUMIYA SANO
Born 25th May 1997. 25 years old and from the prefecture of Yamanashi. He is someone skilled who has experience as a back dancer for national and international artists. He has choreographed some songs for OWV and supports the quality of their performances.

Is Sano-kun's self confidence high? Or low?

The keyword, the JJ generation is curious about, is “self confidence”. Is your self confidence high, Sano-kun? Or is it low?
I don’t have any.
(Honda-kun, who was close, insisted however “Guys, he is lying right now!”)
(Laughs) You are right. I’m full of it and I can’t stop~.

When was a moment when you thought “I have raised my self confidence”?
I guess when I tried out something. Since starting this job, I often work on projects that have some kind of challenge. Every time I take on those, I think “Oh, I can do this”. Each time it goes well, I’m gaining confidence. Recently, we have been practicing for the tour. I also practiced acrobatics, and I think it was macaco… I was happy to be able to stick one hand behind my black and turn backwards as if it was a backflip. I thought “Finally, I can do it” (laughs)

On the other hand, do you have any coping-methods when you feel like you lose your self confidence?
No, it never happens that I lose my confidence!

You are full of it, aren’t you? (Laughs)
I really have too much of it and I can’t stop. That’s why I never lose it. That’s why I am sorry, I don’t know any.
(Honda-kun who was close and the staff break out laughing)

Sano-kun is “a charismatic dancer”? Checking OWV’s characters one more time!

You have appeared in JJ several times since your debut, but let’s check on OWV’s characters one more time! What is your opinion on Honda-kun’s phrase “The Aniki and leader who is full of chivalry”?
It’s not wrong but…
(Nearby Honda-kun interjected “I am reticent and such”)
That’s far off (laughs). If I had to add something, it would be that he also has a cheeky side. Because he has a mischievous part in himself.

You were called a “charismatic dancer”, how about this?
(Laughs) Well, since I can do everything I tried, it is correct. He (while pointing at Honda-kun) always shows me videos of dances and choreographies he wants to try, but I am the one who watches and learns those, and then teaches it to the others.
(Honda-kun: It is faster when Sano learns those than when I do it (laughs))

“Shuta is a hardworking vocalist” A member analysis by Sano-kun

By the way, Urano-san was a “genius vocalist belonging to Yoshimoto”.
Is that so? (Laughs) He is more the analytical type than a genius. Rather than intuition it is a proper effort and calculation. So, if I could correct it, I would say he is a “hard working vocalist”. The most fitting part is “belonging to Yoshimoto Kyogo”. When we do the MCs, I feel he is the one who brings out another goodness of OWV. Also the tone of his voice is great! It is easy to understand and gets easily into everyone’s ears. His tone is more of the one of a comedian (laughs). Because he is a genius MC who was recognised by Yoshimoto.

And next about Nakagawa-kun, he was the “ikemen rapper”.
He often got a loose screw, so there has to be a better word for it (laughs).

“He got a loose screw”! Do you have a specific episode in mind?
You are imagining a cute episode right now, aren’t you? But it’s not like that (laughs). It is not a “he was careless and such an airhead ♡” like thing. He is so crazy, I can’t express it (laughs). I think you all know that I tend to do odd things, but that’s just my character in OWV, so those are just business oddities (laughs). But he is different. For real. He is crazy (laughs). So what could fit~ Let’s use “strikingly good looking guy”, no “strikingly handsome”. He is more handsome than just good looking. He got the vibes of a father who was good looking in this youth, doesn’t he? (Laughs)

The attention worthy point of the 7th single “‘Let Go” is?

Indeed, the word “handsome” fits him! Please tell us your recommended part of the 7th single “Let Go”!
Something attention worthy is the tear-wiping movement. It appears many times and is also in the hook of the chorus. Me and Honda-kun asked the choreographer to make a choreography that leaves an impression. We wanted it to become something that would remain in your memory when you watch the whole work. The choreography used to be different, but we had changed it, so please pay attention to it!

Lastly, please give a message to the JJ readers.
The 20s are a time when your environment often changes. Please make good mistakes in some way, keep your antennas up for everything and try out all kinds of things! Thank you very much.
