Yusei: If we're talking about sunshine, it's not necessarily someone who shines brightly themselves, but rather someone who helps others shine. In that sense, all the members of FANTASTICS are sunshine!

Sota: Besides, FANTASTICS is a group of lucky people who have clear weather following them around; the sun loves us!

Yusei: We can call upon the sunshine to illuminate our radiance.

Sota: The music video for «BREAKLINE» that came out last year was filmed near the area where the «VOCAL BATTLE AUDITION 5» audition training camp was held. We had some free time, so Yusei and I went to the place where the marathon was run; it was in the evening, and the sunset there was really beautiful. Taiki filmed everything, the moment was really emotional, and I was all excited, but then everything that was filmed was lost... Taiki was even more upset than us. (laughs) But the scenery I saw was imprinted in my memory!

And one time during a trip, I went to the beach in Kamakura to film the sunset.

Do I associate sunsets with loneliness? On the contrary, I find them warm and calming. When I was still living in my hometown, I would look at the sunset and think: «What's for dinner?» Maybe such associations are from those times: I used to return home in high spirits. By the way, the dish that made me happy for dinner those days: teppanyaki with lots of meat and vegetables!

Sota: I recently celebrated THE JET BOY BANGERZ Taki's birthday! The day before, I went to dinner with the other members: Yuhi and Takumi. They said that they would go to Taki's house to celebrate, so I decided to surprise him and show up too! I've already visited KID PHENOMENON's house, so I'd like to visit LIL LEAGUE and WOLF HOWL HARMONY, and go to all the younger members' houses. (laughs)

At the beginning of the year, I went to a fortune teller, and she told me to go abroad. She even gave me directions: America and California. According to the fortune teller, LIL LEAGUE's popularity will skyrocket in 2026, so in 2025, I want to gain various experiences and strengthen the foundation of the group.

I would like to take my member Kodai with me on my trip to America, because he speaks English well. (laughs) But since that's the case, maybe we should all go together! (laughs)

In Japan, it would be great to go to Okinawa. Recently I watched the movie «366 Days» («366-nichi») and, seeing the white sand beaches and the beautiful sea, I wanted to go to Okinawa. I've never been there, so it would be cool to go there with six of us. I also want to try sata andagi there — a dish shown in the movie. I've tried it a couple of times, but I think the local original is best!

and i'll put these photos here, just because the photo above reminded me of them

just family photos!

Sota: I prefer cold weather to hot. I am one of those who easily get out of bed in the morning as soon as they wake up. I understand those who can't get out of bed because of the cold, but I like to get up and do something: for example, drink some water and go back to bed. (laughs)

This winter I bought a scarf and a bib. I wear the bib to stay warm, and I use the scarf as a fashion accent. I also bought a fluffy hat and started experimenting with color a little. I heard that brown will be popular this year, I will try to learn how to wear it.

The theme of the episode is «muffle». Which of the participants muffle?.. I think I know. I'll name Taiki. (laughs) Taiki is kind to everyone: both young and old. He says that people don't care about him, and he is a kind person. It's funny, I think.

I want 2025 to be the year of my charm's blossoming. I hope to have the opportunity to share my hobbies that I have been doing for some time now. Thank you for your continued support and in the new year!

Sota: This month's monologue. Last year, Keito and I went to the Christmas market for the first time. We devoured sausages, steaks, stews... and other delicacies with relish. However, while I was looking at the stalls, Keito walked ahead alone. I told him: «You won't be popular». (laughs) However, it seems that he, like me, was looking for something for himself. Come to think of it, I go to admire the illuminations with Keito every year.

My charm is in my double eyelids and dimples on my cheeks. I am a little proud that I have the same dimples as my older comrade — TAKAHIRO!

Today I created my own unique perfume. I was inspired to watch it being created, selecting fragrances from hundreds of samples. It was not easy, but I am very happy because I managed to do it the way I like! I got interested in perfume after a trip with my parents to the perfume department of «Don Quixote». I guess I was captivated by pleasant smells. Fragrances bring back memories. For example, I wore that perfume at the audition, and the scent is forever linked to the memories of that day. The perfume I created today will preserve the memory of that day. I even gave them a name. «Meadow Flower Shower»! It has the splendor of jasmine and other flowers, but also a masculine scent!

JUNON 03.2025

And I love that they continue the theme of STARBOYZ traveling through universes, galaxies and other dimensions! 🌻

A hotel in another dimension, a dance floor on an asteroid. What's next? I can't wait to see it.
