■ “I want to convey that (through our 9th single “WHERE DO WE GO”) you will be able to feel that the path you have chosen is the right one” (Kawanishi Takumi)

JO1 will appear on the cover and in the interview pages of the September 30th issue of AERA (Asahi Shimbun Publications), which will be released on September 24th.

Five years after their debut, JO1 has expanded their fandom while deepening the bond between the 11 members. Regarding their ninth single “WHERE DO WE GO,” Kawanishi Takumi said, “I want to convey that through this song, people will be able to feel that the path they have chosen is the right one.”

They also have strong feelings about live performances, stating, “We want to take it to a level where people think of live performances when they think of JO1” (Yonashiro Shou) and “We want to hold a live performance that will turn every single person who watches it into a fan” (Kono Junki).

This interview shows the 11 members becoming even closer than before, making it a must-read for fans.

The cover and gravure photos were of course taken by Mika Ninagawa. The group shots capture the power of unity, while the solo shots capture the individual charms of each member.
