M!LK (ćć«ćÆ) is a five-member dance vocal group consisting of Hayato Sano, Daichi Shiozaki, Shunta Sono, Jutaro Yamanaka, and Jinto Yoshida. The group's name represents something "that can be dyed any color".
The group's activities are not limited to music, but have expanded to include dramas, movies, stage shows, and modeling. Their best asset is their versatility when displaying their sense of him out with their dazzling live performances.
In November 2021, they made their major debut from Victor Entertainment. Their latest single is HIKARI.
Let's know more about them.
The interview is answered by leader Jinto Yoshida.
JY- Milk is an indispensable drink in our daily lives, mixed with coffee and many other things. Like milk, we want to change into many different things and become a group that is loved by the whole nation. That's how we came up with this name.
KZ- What are your talents besides singing and dancing?
JY- I have been spending more and more time at home lately, so cooking has become part of the routine. From now on I’m learning lots of recipes so I’d like to become specialized. Also, I’ve started to edit videos for our own YouTube channel. I'm still just a beginner, but I want to learn how to edit with different styles.
KZ- Quels sont tes talents Ć part le chant et la danse ?
KZ- How would you define your evolution musically? Where are you headed?
JY- It's been seven years since we formed the group. When we first formed, our goal was to complete the songs we were assigned. During this process, we wanted to improve our singing skills, and we have been refining our expressions and techniques. From now on, I'm personally interested in writing lyrics and composing music, and I'm studying to be able to create songs from scratch.
KZ- Tell us about "HIKARI". How did it come about, inspiration, what do you want to transmit?
JY- HIKARI is a shout-out for people to live in the moment to the fullest. We want to change the situation I’m in now, and to do so, we have to fight against ourselves. This is expressed in the song by likening it to a myth. In Japan, February and March is an important time for people to decide their future, as they prepare for exams and job hunting. I tried to record this song with all my heart to give energy to those people.
KZ- What was the easiest part of "HIKARI", the lyrics, the music, the choreography? And the most difficult?
JY- The easiest part was to get an idea about the song, because it’s a song about the feelings that we all carry in our hearts. The most difficult part was. lip-syncing for the music video. Although we've done a lot of lip-syncing for music videos until now, it’s always staring at the monitors while trying out best.
KZ- Of all your songs, which one is your favorite and why?
JY- I always think that my favorite song is the latest one, but I'd like to talk about "Energy", released in 2021, and encourage everyone to listen to it. This song was provided by Japanese rap artist Sanari, and it showed another new side of M!LK. The music video was shot in Shibuya, Tokyo, resulting in a fresh and wonderful piece of work.
KZ- If you could collaborate with another artist, who would you like it to be?
JY- Although it's not a song, I'd like to have Mika Ninagawa and other leading Japanese artists to add their touch to M!LK in music videos.
KZ- Si vous pouviez collaborer avec un autre artiste, qui aimeriez-vous que ce soit ?
JY- Bien qu'il ne s'agisse pas d'une chanson, j'aimerais que Mika Ninagawa et d'autres grands artistes japonais apportent leur touche Ć M!LK dans des clips.
KZ- Tell us about your plan for 2022: tours, singles, programs...
KZ- If you could only visit one country, which one would it be? Why?
JY- Spain. We have a song called "Ternero Fighter", and the words "Ternero" and "Murcian" in the lyrics are in Spanish. We’d love to actually be able to perform this song in Spain, since it’s a standard already and the most popular at our live performances.
KZ- Si vous ne pouviez visiter qu'un seul pays, lequel serait-il ? Pourquoi ?
JY- First of all, thank you very much for finding out about our activities in Japan. We are currently working hard to become a top idol in Japan, but we often talk among ourselves about how we want to perform overseas as well. When we're ready to go on a world tour someday, please come and visit us!
