Hi! Sorry all for the long wait, I'm sort of back in the groove of translating ;o; Here's the rest of Syoya's sushi column with Ren from earlier this month!

As a note, I'll be changing the way I translate the name of Syoya's sushi column from now on, from "Real Thoughts on Kimata Sushi" to "Real Thoughts with Kimata Sushi"!

As always, here is the link to the original article with photos if you'd like to follow along ^^

This is the regular column “Real Thoughts on Kimata Sushi” by JO1’s Kimata Syoya, who holds an incredible love for sushi.

This time round, he’s with Kawashiri Ren, the disciplined performance leader who drives the group forward; the two of them are headed for a slightly dressy new-wave Edomae-style sushi restaurant in Azabu-juban. We’ve got close coverage of these two as they have an adults’ night out at the counter!

This came out a while ago, but I've translated Sho and Ren's feature in Stage Navi! They usually give serious answers in interviews so this cross-talk between them was a nice good look into the recent state of JO1 and how they've grown, according to their dad and mom leader and dance leader ^^ They talk very warmly about the other members, and it was really heartt

Individual interviews will be up first, followed by the cross-talk!

Yonashiro Sho x Kawashiri Ren

JO1, a global boys’ group formed out of 11 members chosen from the audition programme “PRODUCE 101 JAPAN”. Their polished performances always draw attention, and their second album has now gone on sale. This time round, we speak with the group’s leader, Yonashiro Sho, and Kawashiri Ren, who leads their performances as the dance leader, about the charm of JO1’s songs and performances, their journey from their CD debut up till now, the conflicts they’ve experienced precisely because of their positions as leaders, and also about their bonds with the other members.

Individual interviews


Yonashiro Sho: The members have become able to share their value systems with each other


As the leader of JO1, who are entering their 3rd year, when he looked back at their past, what struck him was that none of the 11 members’ individual selves overlapped with each other, and each of them gave off their own light.

Kawashiri Ren: I’ll believe in my own sense, and aim for the top


From the perspective of Kawashiri Ren, the dance leader who often watches over the other members, it appears that the good thing about the other members is that they “hate to lose”.
