JO1 member Shiraiwa Ruki has released an original song he wrote and composed himself, “Himawari,” as the fourth installment of the JO1 member self-YouTube project “PLANJ.”

Influenced by 90’s rock, Shiraiwa’s own thoughts are fully embodied in the song’s composition and the concept of the music video.

■ Comment from JO1’s Ruki Shiraiwa
This song is one that I’ve been playing at live music venues since my student days. I wrote it about how I felt at the time, unable to become anything and being crushed by various circumstances. I liken myself to a sunflower, and the theme of the song is the feeling that even if it is withered by various things, it will drop seeds and bloom again. I created this song with the image of the sunflower’s desire to one day bloom into a flower like the sun.
