■“I would be happy if you could feel a sense of anticipation, like the start of a new day, that something is about to change, that something is about to begin.” (Ren Kawajiri)
Ren Kawajiri’s “DAYBREAK” has been released as the 7th installment of the members’ self-project “PLANJ” (pronounced: plant), which is being developed on the JO1 official YouTube channel.
“DAYBREAK” is a medium tune with an impressive beautiful melody, written, composed, and arranged by Kawajiri. Production was carried out with UTA as co-producer.
Kawajiri imaged the music video for the music video and shot it on a land surrounded by vast nature. Under a blue sky, with a glimpse of the ocean in the background, a gorgeous and supple performance is performed, and the video is finished with a positive power that will refresh your mind after watching it. .
“PLANJ” is valuable content where you can see what the JO1 members themselves want to express. With the goal of improving individual skills and giving back to the group, they are disseminating works that freely express the individuality of the group and its members, not just music.
The first is Sho Yonashiro’s cover of Elton John’s “Your Song.” The second installment is Junki Kono’s cover of CNBLUE’s “Love Light.” In the third installment, Shioon Tsurubo covers the back number’s “Saito Koen.” In the fourth installment, Ruki Shiraiwa will perform her self-produced song “Himawari” for the first time. In the fifth installment, Yoshio Ohira will perform his original song “Melak” for the first time. In the 6th installment, Shoya Kimata will perform his original song “easy life” for the first time.
Enjoy the expressions and special scenes that are rarely seen, focusing on the individual.
■JO1 Kawajiri Ren comment
This time, I wrote and composed the song “DAYBREAK”. The image is of the sun at dawn, which gives you a sense of grandeur, strength, and beauty, and I hope you can feel a sense of anticipation that something is about to change, like the beginning of a new day. I myself started writing and composing songs a while ago, and I feel that something has dawned on me with this song, and that something has changed. We have also prepared a performance that goes along with this song, so we hope you enjoy it as well.
