The popular group SixTONES will be hosting an interactive warehouse tour event, "SixTONES STock," at Ginza Sony Park (Chuo Ward, Tokyo) starting June 17th. On June 16th, a press conference and media preview were held, with all six members in attendance. They spoke about the highlights of the event.
"SixTONES STock" is a logistics warehouse that stores and manages creative materials from the group's formation to the present, including past releases, artist photos, music videos, live costumes, original goods, and YouTube content, in the year of their 6th anniversary since debut and 11th anniversary since formation. Visitors can freely explore the warehouse within a time limit. The experience lasts 40 minutes, with each session running on a rotation basis. It will be held at Ginza Sony Park from June 17th to August 23rd, and at ATC Gallery (Suminoe-ku, Osaka) from October 21st to December 27th.
When asked about the highlights of the event, Juri Tanaka replied, "Even the moment you move between floors won't bore you for a single second. There are elements to enjoy in every moment, and we ourselves were once again amazed by the attention to detail."
Yugo Kochi revealed, "This is a collaboration between Sony's latest technology and SixTONES. There are lots of things to enjoy with all five senses, so I think fans will feel refreshed." Jesse commented, "There are booths where you can experience things like the TV show and YouTube, so I hope you'll enjoy that."
Taiga Kyomoto said, "There are some shows we've appeared on, and some YouTube videos that even we had forgotten about, and some that made us think, 'Wow, they're still preserved in such beautiful condition.' We were surprised ourselves, so I think our fans will be even more excited, as they probably know more about these things than we do. I hope they will enjoy each and every one of them."
Hokuto Matsumura said, "There's a radio segment, and that was quite interesting. However, if you take up too much time, it becomes difficult to manage the time. I hope everyone can find their own unique way to enjoy it."Shintaro Morimoto appealed to the audience by saying, "There's everything from pre-debut material to the latest releases, so the appeal is that you can feel the history while also feeling the present."
When a reporter asked, "Which seniors or juniors would you like to see at the event?", Jesse called out, "We'll be waiting for everyone from Arashi." To this, Kochi retorted, "That's cheeky! You're probably the only one who can say that, so please tell them."
Jesse quickly responded, "To be honest, it's probably Snow Man," to which Tanaka replied thoughtfully, "We've been working with Snow Man since before their debut. The things that are kept are mostly ours, from around the time of our debut, but I think there are some parts that link us together."
