JOY is the third group produced by Rino Sashihara, following the idol groups LOVE (Equal Love) and ME (Not Equal Me).
Their debut mini-album “Kitto, Absolute, Absolute”, released on January 17th, debuted at number 1 on both the Oricon Weekly Album Ranking and Billboard JAPAN Top Albums Sales. Achieved the remarkable feat of exceeding 100,000 copies shipped on the first day of release.
On February 24th, the JOY 2nd Anniversary Concert “≒JOY 2nd ANNIVERSARY PREMIUM CONCERT” was a great success, attracting approximately 8,000 spectators to the Tokyo International Forum Hall A to commemorate their 2nd anniversary. He is active with the momentum of dropping the number.
Today, a special event called “Near Joy Party vol.5” was held at DaiAni LIVE Station to commemorate the release of their debut mini album “Kitto, Zettai, Zettai”. “Near Joy Party vol.5” is aimed at purchasers of the debut mini-album “Kitto, Absolute, Absolute” and will have live events and talk planning corners where only lucky users selected by lottery can participate. This is now an extremely popular and valuable event that allows you to experience the space up close, and this year marks the 5th time.
The event was held in two parts (1st part from 15:00 / 2nd part from 18:00), with 200 people in each part, for a total of 400 people.
In addition to performing a total of 4 songs, including 2 new songs from their debut mini-album “Kitto, Absolute, Absolute”, the members will hold a special event corner where they will share their “things they would like to do” and “wishes” collected from attendees at the venue. “Nearjoy★Request!” is about making it come true, and in the first part, “I’m sure you can do it! Nearjoy★MV Challenge!” is about taking on a high-pressure challenge, a nod to the tablecloth shown in the “Kitto, Blue” music video. (“Kendama Challenge”, “Super Ball Catch Challenge”, “Paper Toss★Challenge”, “Tissue Catch★Challenge”), As a junior, you can never make a mistake in the second part! ＝LOVE, ≠ME-related quizzes such as “If you get it wrong, you’re reckless! His iconoi★quiz that you can never get wrong!” and various other projects related to his debut mini-album had a lot of fun with the audience.
This is the 5th time that “Near Joy Party” has been held, and it has become a super premium event that is flooded with applications. For fans who haven’t been able to participate yet, we encourage you to apply at the next “Near Joy Party” in hopes of winning.
