Nakamura of LIL LEAGUE breathed, “This is the first time I’ve had an entire issue featured in a magazine, and it was photographed in such a cool way, so I’m very happy that these visuals are reaching everyone.
ar HOMME” was released on September 7 as the first separate men’s issue by women’s magazine “ar” (Shufu To Seikatsusha), featuring 4 groups that grabbed their dreams in “iCON Z”, the largest audition in LDH JAPAN’s history with 48,000 participants, as “NEO EXILE The entire book is featured as “NEO EXILE”. The book has received a great response immediately after its release and has already been reprinted.
SUZUKI of WOLF HOWL HARMONY expressed his gratitude, “Since it was released at the timing of our debut, we are really grateful for the opportunity to let many people know about us.
The book is not only filled with feature pages and individual shots of each of the four groups, but also includes the first collaborative interview across the groups. The numerous shots, which are filled with each member’s specialties, are of truly divine quality.
When asked about a memorable moment during the photo shoot, THE JET BOY BANGERZ’s Ishikawa began, “There’s a picture of me doing ‘this ‘…” He then went on to talk about an episode from the photo shoot,
It looks like there is a desk or something under my hand, but actually there is nothing there. It’s all done by air. It was a surreal shooting.
GHEE of WOLF HOWL HARMONY opened the page to show his favorite shot, saying, “It’s the page where I am pictured with Hiroto, a member of the group. I call them the “Geek Pair,” and it was my dream to be on this page with them, so I’m very happy. I’m very happy because it was one of my dreams to be photographed as a pair. I was able to get a really candid shot of them, and I usually cuddle their cheeks (as in this photo), so that’s my favorite part, too.
Yamamoto of KID PHENOMENON said, “Usually, we do a lot of shoots with a young, flirty atmosphere that suits our age group, but I like the chic look of the photos you took this time. I was very happy to be able to wear a cool suit set-up,” he said, appealing to a new side of the group.
What are your goals for the future? Namba of LIL LEAGUE answered immediately and emphatically, “To do a dome tour in four years. I felt that this was the first step toward my dream of a dome tour,” he said.
Endo of KID PHENOMENON said, “I think it is our strength that we have members who can produce music and members who can do graphics, so we would like to spread our wings to the world as a unique existence with these four groups. When we perform in domes and arenas, we would like to take charge of the overall production by ourselves,” he said.
The topic of discussion turned to “What has changed since our debut. Nakamura of LIL LEAGUE revealed, “The six of us are living together as a group.We live together in a house. There are three junior high school students, one high school student, and two adults. To be honest, sometimes I think the younger group is more solid, but we get along very well. Since we started living together, we have become more active in exchanging opinions about our activities.
Uhara of THE JET BOY BANGERZ surprised the audience by saying, “We set a goal for all 10 members to have a single-digit body fat percentage by our debut date. Everyone achieved the single-digit figure! Now that our debut date has passed, we are all eating a lot (laughs). Uhara, who said she has maintained a single-digit body fat percentage, was asked by a member of the press to “show us your abs! Unfortunately, he said, “Sorry about that (laughs).
Ubara said, “I want to show off my body when I have a chance…well, today is another special occasion, but I want to do it during my live performances. I want to be showcased and get cheered when I take off my clothes, so please come to my live performances.
