SixTONES STYLE Vol. 54
A visual series that actualize project proposals from SixTONES. In the second year of the series, the theme of first solo project is "self-portrait."Looking back on the changes of the year, they approached their inner self.
Trying to look back the time I spent at home for at least 2 months, I think of the time where I thought of the self-produce (projects) the most until now. I had a feeling that if I plan something and didn't share it then I don't exist in this world. Being aware during the time to communicate, I properly differentiated the use of each tools. For those who got sad about 「NEWSIES 」that was scheduled last May, I thought that I wanted to post everyday on my individual blog. More than composing just a usual one, because I wanted to deliver it as a piece of entertainment, so I tried doing a setlist of the artists I like, I tried doing 「Detective Conan」ranking, I tried asking Kouchi to do something that is crazy and absurd... LOL
I did「Kyomoto-kai TV」on ISLAND TV, and I shared my situation at home in collaboration with the member on Instagram. I think I properly made use of the different tools. In addition to that, there are also times when I carefully think of the jingle for「ALL NIGHT NIPPON」, it was the period where I faced sincerely and with more time each work I have received. I am grateful to people around me and to be able to work. With the thoughts of "if I do this, I wonder if it'll be more interesting", various desires came out and it became a meaningful day everyday. The members too respectively updated their blogs and uploaded videos. Among those, Jesse uploaded him singing「Somei Yoshino」with accompaniment, right? The day before he uploaded it, he contacted asking "Is this performance okay?" I replied "There's no problem with it at all!" so he said, "Well then, I will upload it on Instagram!" Isn't it cute?
What I was able to do with a sense of satisfaction is that I felt I was able to properly play catch ball with the fans. Even though I wasn't able to talk directly, because I got into the Twitter trends, and I can respond in the comment section in YouTube, I think I am going to work harder. The communication is not a one-way traffic because we receive power in return, so I think that we were able to climb over this period together. If everyone is not around, then we cannot shine. And because we were in this situation, I am thankful that we have an environment where we can communicate.
It’s been a year since this series began. During that time there was a big event called debut, but the core of our group hasn’t changed. Because we got more oppurtunities to be exposed in the Jr. era, I think each of us has become more self-conscious, however our fundamental feeling hasn’t changed. It’s not like we don’t have to grow up anymore since we made our debut, we will keep going higher as usual. If from now on the number of people watching SixTONES’ activities increases, we need to show you something better, and of course we have the sense of responsibility for people who buy our CD.
I think we are probably not on that age to be swayed by feeling and motivation regarding debut. We may not be agitated or shaken because it was our debut after a lot of experience. …. Although, in fact it’s also true that I still don’t feel it’s real that we are a debut group now. I wasn’t yearning for SixTONES name in the debut list, I have this uncomfortable feeling (lol). We also performed on CDTV Live before debut, and I missed the timing to realize (that we were going to debut). Thinking “when on earth we debut as a group” is like an unknown world for me. I haven’t changed my feelings toward the members, but I’m not surprised anymore if they appear on TV. I used to watch over them while cheering, “Say something interesting! Do your best!”… but now I’m sure they can make people laugh so I watch over them without worries.
Photoshoot for magazines have increased, but I completely have no confidence as a subject. Let alone a selfie, I don’t even usually take picture of scenery, I rarely use my smartphone’s camera. I’m the type that engrave memories in my heart (LOL). During a photoshoot, I think my consciousness changes depending on the genre of magazines like TV magazines, idol magazines or fashion magazines. For example, I think if it’s for a fashion magazine, it might be good to just pose relaxedly, well only on that level of thoughts. I’m not calm and confident, but when the photographer explains the concept, I try to answer, “I understand!” and not ask anything in return. I want the staff to think, “Oh, he knows about this magazine” (LOL). I want to do my best to meet their needs, yet I keep doing the same pose, that time I’ll do self-reflection. But sometimes there are times when they use the cut of that pose, so I try to do it while thinking positively. I’m worried that I might be lacking in ability, but it’s also a happy thing because there are things that I can learn more.
