Hokkaido's Tomamu has been chosen as the stage for "HOT JAPAN with JO1," a project where the global boy group JO1 serves as ambassadors to share Japan's "hot" attractions with the world. A performance video combining the sea of clouds floating amidst vast nature with traditional Japanese fireworks has been released on YouTube and is creating a buzz.

Hokkaido's Tomamu is the Stage for the 4th "HOT JAPAN with JO1"

JO1 was formed by 11 members selected through the audition program "PRODUCE 101 JAPAN." The "HOT JAPAN with JO1" project, with JO1 as ambassadors sharing Japan's 'hot' attractions both domestically and internationally, launched in November 2022. Following the first installment at Mt. Fuji & Lake Yamanaka, the second at the Aomori Winter Nebuta, and the third at Himeji Castle, the fourth installment has been released after a six-month break, set in Hokkaido's Tomamu with the full cooperation of Hoshino Resorts TOMAMU.

A Miraculous Collaboration with Tomamu's Beautiful Sea of Clouds

The performance of their lead track "Venus" from their 3rd album "EQUINOX" took place at Tomamu's iconic "Unkai Terrace." The sea of clouds floating in Tomamu's vast nature is a delicate scenery that only appears when specific weather conditions, such as temperature differences between day and night and wind, align, in addition to the season and terrain. Although the forecast predicted a low chance of the sea of clouds appearing during the shoot, the sea of clouds spread out across the landscape at sunrise, making the collaboration with JO1's performance a reality.

More Hokkaido Spots to be Introduced!

The previously released videos have all surpassed 10 million views. Furthermore, three more "HOT JAPAN MOVIE in Hokkaido" YouTube videos, where JO1 members introduce attractive spots in Hokkaido, are scheduled for future release.
