The idol organization of 11 members, trained through the Truth Festival “Produce 101 Japan Las Niñas”, entered a new era with its new version “Musa”

Any artist to value your salt focuses on growth. For the organization of Japanese girls: I, this purpose is still in the lead. Inspired through the word Mirai, which means the long career in Japanese, his call reflects a goal of advancing as representatives of a new generation of J-pop artists. It is a main project to achieve while adjusting to “your own person”, as Ran, one of me: the 11 members, puts it in a zoom interview with Tokyo NME. “I spent my whole life under the roof of my newcomer relatives circle . . . Now I live with the members, and we all grow together. Now we are adults. “

Me: I gathered after the third edition of Produce 101 Japan, a real television festival that Bureaucracy is an organizational organization of 101 hopes, trained from a national pool to thousands of people. (The original program, a creation of the conglomerate of the media of South Korea, CJ ENM of 14,000 applications that emerge through the applications throughout the country.

Me: I am aware of the saturation of the domain of the pop idol, especially because Japanese music unearthed new audiences abroad. “It is such an attractive moment to be an artist because there are many giant organizations,” said Momona, the leader of the organization. “For us, we are not an organization built around an express concept; each member has such a strong personality and is very unique. Because it does not correspond to the mold, we dispute the concept of what it means to be an organization, especially in J-Pop and in the global landscape. ” This diversity extends to me: the musical technique for me. “Our concept is to mix the most productive elements of J-Pop and K-Pop to create anything new, special and exciting,” explains Shizuku.

“One of the most important things in the organization is that the user is so faithful to who they really are, and that no one is a character” – he has executed

After completing an era of preparation in South Korea, I: I made its debut in an emotion fire. Having an effect on his first single “Mirai” in April 2023 was immediate, promoting more than 250,000 copies and in the most sensible of the Japan and Oricon billboard. Months later, they returned with some other single success, “Hi-Five. ” These consecutive triumphs have won a coveted functionality in Kōhaku Uta Gassen, a TV transmission of the celebration of purposes of ends, considered as a prestigious opportunity for artists, and decided as one of the new winners of artists’ costs in the 66 Japan Japan awards at the end of last year. “It was not just a consultation of being appreciated as artists,” says Momona, “but it was like a confirmation that we do what we are intentioned to do. “

While they paint to perceive the industry engine and maintain their impulse, members of me: I recognize their appointments with music and I am in their author roles, without undeniable consumers. “The most important thing that has replaced is the meaning of the daily works that have just made music,” explains Ayane. “I lived all my life as someone who loves music, but now that I am an artist, this duty has replaced my way of interacting. “

“When you create a song and prepare to play it, you end up watching the videos and listen to the back and return piece, and it is very simple to fall into this trap of not thinking about that,” adds Suzu. “But I am much more attentive to what everything means and how I would also replace performance. “

Miu points out that I: I “really think about the dynamics of the groups” when they enter the time of the year of their trip. “It is very vital for us that we are looking to give us a positive [support] to ensure that everyone is in the right position mentally. We need to continue doing so that we can paint like ourselves. “

This is vital for me: I, because they take into account their base of expanded fans, a giant component of which they are teenagers. He squeezes me: the positivity and curative commitment in his music. “As artists, we thought about when we had this age: what encouraged us?” What were the words we had to listen? “Momona said. ” We are frequently thinking about what would make us happy, as if we were teenagers listening to our music. “

“Our concept is to mix the elements of J-Pop and K-Pop to create anything new, special and exciting” -Shizuku

It was one of the demanding situations that I: I faced when preparing its new version “Muse”, a collection of completely new devices without any song through the television of the truth that was born. “With” Muse “, the consultation was: can we create something that resonates with fans?” Rinon said. “I was a little nervous about this, and I didn’t know if we could make this happen. But as we have spent more time together, we are now more aware of the others and more intentional in the way you paint as a team. “

Composed of 4 tracks, adding the “millions of stars” Euphoric and “Foggato”, “Muse”, presents a rather educated and nuanced sound than their past versions. The name of the name, in particular, is complete of power and charisma. “It is a little more adults, and that represents us more as artists and shows our growth,” Kokona explains on the album.

“Back to our first two singles, it took us a little time and we basically headed to the undeniable fact of making the movements and being careful not to make mistakes,” Keiko adds. “But now we arrive at this concept of:” Now we are accustomed, so how can we improve? How can each of us get our individual personality? “How to succeed over expectations, essentially. “

Like me: I keep noticing the other suns of its collective user through their music, bringing their enthusiasts for the trip, they are still something of one thing: remain original through going with themselves and with others. “One of the most important things in the organization is that each user is so faithful to who they are, and that no one is a character,” Ran said. “To maintain this, we will have to continue having moments of self -reflection and make sure that we play in a way that feels faithful to who we are. “

Me: the new single “muse” is now thrown into Lapone Girls.
