Ae! group’s Suezawa Seiya will make his first solo appearance on the cover and in the lead feature of “CHEER Vol. 48” (on sale August 1st).

Suezawa is currently in the middle of Ae! group’s debut tour, “Ae! group Debut Tour ~The Best Ae LIVE in the World~,” following their CD debut on May 15th.

In the interview, he talks at length about his feelings about his debut, his relationship with “Joricha (Fujiwara Joichiro and Kusuma Richard Keita),” his beloved dog Sena, and more.

When asked how she feels now, a month and a half after her debut, she commented, “Thankfully, I’ve been able to appear on various programs one after another. In that sense, I really do feel like this is my debut.”

Regarding “Joe and Richa,” when asked “What if the three of us were in the same group…?”, he answered, “Yes! To be honest, when we joined Ae! I thought, ‘Can Jo come here?’ and I think I talked about that with Richa too. As a result, Jo had a role in Naniwa Danshi as the oldest, and I also became the oldest in Ae!. Jo and I have completely different positions in the group and ways of doing things, but when I look at him I think, ‘He’s amazing.'”

■ Episodes from the shoot
The toy poodle that made an appearance this time was Nana-chan, who is the same age and breed as Suezawa’s beloved dog Sena-kun. During the shoot, where he was looking for a natural look, Suezawa couldn’t help but smile when he saw Nana-chan. As Nana was trembling with nervousness, Suezawa spoke to her gently in a soothing voice, and she immediately opened up, placing treats on her tummy and closing the gap in an instant, resulting in a natural and adorable shot.

The appendix “9 BOARD PINUP” features a total of nine gravure photos, three vertically and three horizontally, on each side (front: Ryusei Onishi/Genta Matsuda/Seiya Suezawa, back: Soya Igari/Naohiro Oriyama/Tatsuo Fukada).
