On July 1st, Keigo Sato of the popular boy band "JO1" appeared at an event for Marvel Studios' new movie "Fantastic 4: First Step" (to be released in both Japan and the US on July 25th) held in Tokyo, along with Seiya from the comedy duo "Shimofuri Myojo" and talent First Summer Uika.
Mr. Sato, a huge Marvel fan, explained the powers of characters such as Reed Richards, whose body can stretch and shrink like rubber, and Johnny Storm, whose whole body can be covered in flames, with gestures. "The powers of these four characters are incredible. They're all powers that I wish I had as a kid, and they're fascinating," he said enthusiastically.
Considering the film's depiction of family love, Seiya started the conversation by saying, "When you think of bonds, you think of JO1," to which Sato replied, "Our members are the best," pointing out that they have members like those in the film. "The one who reaches out (like Lead) is Kawashiri Ren, who is an amazing dancer, and Kono Junki, a man with a hot flame (like Johnny)," was fine, but when Uika asked, "What about Sato?" he thought, "I'm..." and finally answered, "How about if I fart a lot." Seiya followed up by saying, "Let's all have fun and chat."
This film depicts the exploits of the "Fantastic Four," a team of four heroes with different powers and personalities. They are loved all over the world and are bound by strong ties, and soon a "new life" will be added to their "family." However, due to a certain action by the team leader and genius scientist Reed, the threat of the extraordinary enemy "Galactus," who devours planets, approaches the Earth.
