Three members of Super Express, Takuya Kusakawa, Aloha Takamatsu (the official spelling for “taka” is ladder daka), and Yu Kashiwagi appear on the cover of the July special edition of “ViVi”.

In August 2022, Chotokukyu welcomed four new members, making it a nine-member group.The main dancer and backing vocalist set them apart from other boy groups. It’s a group. Three of the main dancers, Takuya, Aroha, and Haru, will appear on the cover of the special edition for the first time.

The special title of the cover story is “The Talent of Super Express.” In addition to solo cuts and three-person scenes, the shooting includes three patterns of chemistry between two people. We prepared an extra-large teddy bear as a prop, and the photographer gave rough instructions such as, “Try playing with it a little bit,” and “Try intertwining with it in a slightly cool way.” Of course, the improvised pose turned out cool, and exceeded the editorial team’s expectations. He was a true entertainer, trying his best to entertain the people in front of him, to the point where the ViVi staff were worried, “Are you really going to do that much?” by making weird faces and trying to make a fool of yourself. It was said that it was a lively scene where all the staff present were captivated by the charm of the three men (and before they knew it, they were on board), with laughter all the way through.

In addition, in the interview, with the theme of “Super Express talent,” we asked about the “Super Express DNA” that they think has been passed down from the number 1 cars (original members) to the number 2 cars (new members). “Speaking of Super Express’ DNA, isn’t it that it’s always blurred out regardless of whether the camera is rolling or not? I can feel the DNA in the parts that are always blurry with a good taste.” Haru answered. . Takuya said, “Even though I newly joined the 2-digit car and was suddenly forced to do a lot of things, it’s been following along well.” That kind of “Super Express-ness” that “does something interesting to the best of its ability” has been conveyed. “I guess,” he said resolutely.

Aloha said, “I inherited so much of my DNA that my dance style started from a hip-hop style, but before I knew it, it started to lean towards “tonchiki.” Without even thinking about it, “tonchiki” came out naturally, and that’s what makes Chotonkyukyu so unique. “I guess,” he answered happily. He also answered questions asked by Car No. 8 (a fan name for Super Express) and Ogiri in a fun way. Enjoy the bond between the three of them and as a group in this magazine.

In addition, this magazine bonus also comes with a bonus “Wachaiike sticker” that reflects the group’s color. In addition, special content by the three members will be distributed on ViVi’s official SNS and YouTube.
