SixTONES, the popular Japanese boy band, is celebrating a significant milestone this year, marking both their 10th anniversary since formation and their 5th anniversary of their CD debut. The group is set to appear in the June issue of CanCam, which will be their fourth feature in the magazine. This edition is particularly special as it showcases the members in traditional yukata for the first time in approximately seven years, a nostalgic nod to their junior days.
The 10-page feature is packed with a variety of content, including group shots, solo portraits, and candid interviews. Fans can look forward to an engaging Q&A session where the members reflect on their journey over the past decade. In a heartfelt response to the question about the warmth they feel from their fans, one member expressed, "I always feel it. It makes me happy when they come to our concerts, listen to our songs, or go to see our movies... it’s warm, or rather, it’s so hot it feels like I might get burned!" This sentiment encapsulates the deep appreciation SixTONES has for their dedicated fanbase.
In addition to the interviews, the magazine features a lively group interview where the members share a meal together, joking and laughing as they pass around plates of food. One member enthusiastically exclaimed, "This curry is really delicious! You have to try it!" This casual atmosphere highlights the camaraderie and joy shared among the six members, creating a bright and happy vibe during the photoshoot.
The magazine also includes a special two-page pinup, which has become a hallmark of their features. This time, the pinup showcases themes of 'God Fans' and 'Unlimited Heart', presenting the members in rare and playful poses that fans typically don’t see during live performances. The front side of the pinup features a return of the popular "God Fan" event from the June 2023 issue, where each member displays unique gestures like heart signs and blowing kisses, offering fans a glimpse of their charming personalities.
As SixTONES reflects on their decade-long journey, they share insights into their growth as artists and the bonds they’ve formed with each other. The members have expressed how their experiences have strengthened their relationships, with one member candidly stating, "To be honest, I think we could do this even without the six of us. But if it weren’t for the six of us..." This statement hints at the deep connection and synergy that exists within the group, making their performances and collaboration truly special.
The feature in CanCam not only celebrates their achievements but also serves as a reminder of their humble beginnings and the hard work that has brought them to where they are today. Fans can expect a delightful blend of nostalgia and excitement as they delve into the pages of this anniversary issue.
With the release of this magazine, SixTONES continues to solidify their place in the hearts of fans across Japan and beyond. Their ability to connect with their audience through music, performances, and personal interactions is a testament to their dedication and talent. As they embark on this new chapter, fans eagerly await what the future holds for this dynamic group.
