ARE ENTERING A NEW ERA WITH ‘ANIMAL’
https://t.co/F9hkBEbquI
Six years after their formation through PRODUCE 101 JAPAN, JO1 are entering a defining new phase of their career. The nine-member group have established themselves as one of Japan’s prominent boy groups, earning consecutive No. 1 singles on the Oricon charts and building a dedicated international fanbase. Now, with ANIMAL, their US debut EP, they are taking a new step towards reaching audiences beyond the market that made them.
Released on October 2 alongside the opening date of their first North American tour, ANIMAL represents more than a change in language. Entirely produced by Grammy-winning producer Dem Jointz, the project brings together the group’s performance-driven identity with a sound designed to invite immediate participation. Across its 18-minute runtime, the EP embraces energy, celebration and physical expression, with lead single “WHATCHA DOIN” offering an accessible introduction to the group’s world. Yet “SAKURA” provides a contrasting perspective, retaining a distinctly Japanese character in its sound and lyrics. Together, the tracks reflect JO1’s ambition to reach new listeners without losing sight of the identity they have spent six years developing.
