Minatozaki JAPAN:This is what I'm saying publicly."FANCY"It is!

 

Birthdaystaff:Ah!"FANCY"! !

 

Minatozaki JAPAN:But, “To be honest, Sana-chan had a tough time during her promotions with ``FANCY'' as a lot of things happened.

 

Birthdaystaff: That's right...

 

Minatozaki JAPAN：It's the first time I've seen Sana-chan look so depressed...I was sad to see her, so I said,You have to go now and encourage me!” Without hesitation, I flew to Korea the next day!

 

Birthdaystaff: Eh! ! amazing···!

 

Minatozaki JAPAN:And then I went to see the music program "M COUNTDOWN" as an audience member. My seats were close and I was in the front row, so I wanted to make eye contact with Sana-chan and let her know that I'm here and that I'm here.

 

Minatozaki JAPAN: In that sense,"FANCY" doesn't have good memories, but I do feel like I wanted to see Sana-chan's lively performance, so it's a song that I have a lot of fond memories of.

What made you decide to share information on Twitter?

Birthdaystaff：What first made you decide to share information on Twitter?

 

Minatozaki JAPAN: I decided to tweet, but it wasn't because I wanted to make a buzz... Sana-chan is a very active Twitter user!

 

Birthdaystaff: Eh! Is that so? ! ! !

 

Minatozaki JAPAN: That's right! So, when Sana-chan ate herself after the stage,First of all, there are anti comments.come outDon't you hate coming?

 

Minatozaki JAPAN: So,I want Sana to see only good things.. If I tweet a lot of good things about Sana-chan and the number of people who see it increases, I think that when Sana-chan searches for it, that tweet will probably come up first and catch her eye...

 

Minatozaki JAPAN：This is also the concept of Twitter,“I wanted to show Sana-chan something good rather than something bad.”

 

Birthdaystaff:・・・・・・(I was so impressed that I applauded)

 

Minatozaki JAPAN: Other than that, I think it will also be an opportunity for other people to think that Sana-chan is cute! In fact, ONCE members sometimes say, ``I fell in love with Sana-chan after seeing Japon-san's tweet!'', so that makes me really happy!

 

Birthdaystaff: It's too cool...! It really is a mirror of ONCE! !

Why did you create the famous "Minato" sticker?

Birthdaystaff：Speaking of "Minatozaki JAPAN", I think there is a sticker with the word "Minato" written on it that is famous among ONCE, and I think everyone has it on their candy sticks (penlights) quite a lot, right?

 

Birthdaystaff: Is there a reason why you created that sticker?

 

Minatozaki JAPAN：The reason is that TWICE fans don't know who the pen is at first glance, right?

 

Birthdaystaff: Indeed! I agree!

 

Minatozaki JAPAN: Yes, even if you wave a candy bar, everyone won't know who's pen is, soI wanted to let TWICE themselves know who wrote the pen...

 

Minatozaki JAPAN: Sana-chan already knows that the people who put this sticker on her are her fans, so she wanted to hand out this sticker and make it so that everyone who put it on it would know that it's Sanapen!

What is the best thing about being active?

 

Birthdaystaff：Out of all the activities you have been involved in, what do you think is the best thing about being active?

 

Minatozaki JAPAN: As expected,Having Sana-chan authenticate the support we providedIs that so?

 

Minatozaki JAPAN: Sana-chan herself posted a photo of the support she actually provided, and Sana-chan even put an image I uploaded on Twitter as her wallpaper on "bubble" (a paid messaging app)!

 

Birthdaystaff: Eh~! ? ? ? That's amazing! ! !

 

Minatozaki JAPAN: Moreover, the size of the image didn't match, so I tweeted it again with the image saying, "Sana-chan's size is strange, so please use this image!"As soon as Sana saw that tweet, she changed her wallpaper.！

 

Birthdaystaff:? ! ! ! ! Isn't it amazing? !

 

Minatozaki JAPAN: That's amazing... I thought it was amazing that Sana-chan pays attention to such small details, and I love her even more! ! (≧∇≦)

Birthdaystaff：After all, all TWICE members, including Sana-chan, really care about their fans...

 

Minatozaki JAPAN: That's right! Also, two years ago at the Tokyo Dome concert "#Dreamday," when we said, "Let's all wave with the audience," we waved even though the venue's lights weren't dim, and everyone's lights didn't look good at all...

 

Minatozaki JAPAN:So, after the live performance, I tweeted something like, ``It would look even more beautiful if I turned down the venue lights when I waved,'' and when I waved again the next day, Sana-chan said, ``Excuse me! Regarding the lighting, could you please dim the lights in the venue a little?” he said!

 

Birthdaystaff: Eh! ! Do you also check your fans' Twitter in between live shows? ! !

 

Minatozaki JAPAN: That's right! He fixed it right away,Sana-chan is definitely watching her fans...I thought so.

From here, we will introduce the ``Support Advertisement'' that ``Minatozaki JAPAN'' put out to commemorate their first Tokyo Dome concert in two years!

BirthdayPublished by advertising agency JAPAN,This is a volunteer project by Minatozaki JAPAN.「TWICE Tokyo Dome Memorial Movie” was aired on April 24th on Yunika Vision in Shinjuku.

Minatozaki JAPAN too

「When I saw that Unica Vision live, it was so powerful that I was moved!」

Having said that, I think that the powerful footage of Yunika Vision seen live left a lasting impression on many people (^○^)

The impetus for this wonderful volunteer project wasOriginally, in Korea, live performances were held.As a celebrationrice wreath” ricecustom of givingThere is a fanThe most common support activities performed by

https://saeriho.com/komehanawa/

ThereFive years ago, Japan's ONCEJapanese ONCEsApparently they planned to put out a ``rice wreath'' and were soliciting donations from volunteers.

However, my application was not successful and I was not selected in the lottery, soApparently, it was not possible to present a ``rice wreath.''

After that, he was thinking of using the money he had raised to put out support advertisements in Korean transportation advertisements, but at that time it was difficult to advertise from Japan to Korea.BirthdayDue to the lack of advertising agencies, we were unable to place any advertisements, and for five years, the funds collected from ONCEs in Japan were left over.

So this time, a mutual friend who was entrusted with the money contacted Minatozaki JAPAN and said, ``We are entrusted with the volunteer donation from five years ago, so could we do something with this donation?''

「We are recruiting ONCEs who will volunteer to cooperate with this donation and this time.It would be great if we could issue a support advertisement together.」

That's how this volunteer project was born!

 

In that sense, this "support advertisement" is

「A masterpiece that we were able to release with all ONCEs (ONCEs who are currently following TWICE and ONCEs who were following TWICE in the past).」

and

 

“The response to this support ad was really good, and it was a very meaningful ad as we were able to report our activities to ONCEs from 5 years ago!”

He said.

When I heard this story, I was moved and captivated by not only ONCEs' passion for TWICE, but also the relationships between ONCEs and the way they cooperated to support TWICE.

Mercury is also involved in the video production,You will be overwhelmed by the amazingness of the video technology (^○^)

It was very meaningful that the ONCE members in Japan came together to release an advertisement to celebrate TWICE's first Tokyo Dome concert in two years, and I think it was a "supporting advertisement" that will remain in the memories of both TWICE and ONCE for the rest of their lives!

In fact, the "support advertisement" at this Yunika Vision was widely featured on information programs and received a great response.♪

This volunteer project was a collaboration between Once 5 years ago and the current Once, so I'm happy to see such a great response, and once again thank you to everyone who participated in the project🥲🥲🥲 pic.twitter.com/4heNBQKeTY

I hope that once everyone will continue to support TWICE and make it more exciting through various promotions (^○^)

 

Summary

So far, we have introduced Minatozaki JAPAN's extremely valuable interview and TWICE's "support advertisement" that was released as a volunteer project, but what did you think?

This time, through this interview with Minatozaki JAPAN, it was a very valuable experience as it made me think about what is the most important thing when supporting an idol: what should we do as a fan when it comes to "supporting an idol", and what can we do as a fan for our favorite idols?

In particular,Going to Korea for an idol who is going through a difficult timeI don't think that action is that easy.

However, I was very moved by his strong determination to go to Korea to give Sana peace of mind."Idols" and "fans" are really "A supportive relationship”I felt it again!

Also, Minatozaki JAPAN's desire to do something that would please not only TWICE but also ONCE was very impressive.

 

How they value the interactions between fans that they have been able to meet thanks to their idols,During the promotion, I was very moved to see how ONCEs are creating a community where they can have fun and share their thoughts with like-minded people.

I believe that the ``TWICE Tokyo Dome Commemorative Movie'' support advertisement, which was created as a result of that desire, became a precious memory for both ONCE and TWICE.

 

This time, support advertisement planned by Minatozaki JAPANI was able to hear many passionate thoughts about Sana and TWICE, including ``ONCE mirror”, and I was moved throughout the interview (^-^)

In the future toousBirthdayAdvertising agency JAPAN isWe would like to support the various activities carried out by these fans!

Thank you very much to Minatozaki JAPAN for kindly accepting this interview project.
