“Unromantic,” a revolution in beauty born from knowing tradition and daring to betray it. Contradiction deepens beauty, and rebelliousness hones elegance. Refined yet unable to remain submissive, she adheres to her own unique aesthetic. Embodying the image of a new-age heroine as portrayed by Takahashi Misaki, this is the heroine of the times that everyone aspires to, and making her first appearance at TGC Kitakyushu in about nine years, Saito Asuka was the first to perform at TGC. Furthermore, the seven-member dance vocal group is to blame for this. The venue erupted in cheers as the male guests appeared, including Mokudai Kazuto, a member of the group who co-starred in the TV drama “Hot Love Prince” for the first time; Yamanaka Jutaro, a member of the five-member dance and vocal group M!LK, whose hit “Ii Jan,” a hit song that garnered buzz as a “surprise surprise” with over 1 billion views on social media; and NAOYA, a member of the
