Joyous • Part One

"This was around the time I made my debut. For a while back then, I didn't have anything to smile about at all." The twelve members of VAZZY and ROCK DOWN gather to talk on a special TV program being made in anticipation of December's VAZZROCK Live Flawless concert. Part way through, the topic shifts to Takaaki, Ouka, and Yuma's roles in the upcoming TV drama Shuten. The new show is a spin-off of Sokai, an earlier feature film about the life of Shoin Yoshida. On set, the three are reunited with two of their former costars; talented actors Yusho Toi and Yuzuru Mikaduki. While Ouka grumbles about working with the difficult Toi again, Takaaki keeps smiling and tries to lighten the mood.
