Yoshihisa Higashiyama, leader of DIAMOND☆DOGS (comment)

Last year we, DIAMOND☆DOGS, celebrated our 20th anniversary thanks to the love of our staff and fans. Thank you very much for your support!

After that, each member took a period of time to recharge their batteries in order to challenge themselves in various fields and to explore as an expressive person and a stage performer.

We discussed how we should present DIAMOND☆DOGS to our fans and audiences in the future. One of the conclusions we reached was that DIAMOND☆DOGS would be a great success if we could deliver it to our fans and audiences.

One of the conclusions was to create a new team for DIAMOND☆DOGS.

We wanted to create a new, fresh, original, and completely new generation based on the knowledge and experience that DIAMOND☆DOGS has accumulated up to now.

We received many potential candidates for this audition.

This time, we have selected five of them to start as "DIAMOND☆DOGS Team Novel".

Team Novel is still incomplete and uneven, but we are determined to create a new DIAMOND☆DOGS with the current members of Team Original.

Thank you for your continued support!

It means a lot to have five members gathered like this, and as the leader, I want to bring everyone together and create a chemical reaction in the performance of Team Novel, which is a collection of different colors, to make it something tangible. With the support of various people, I would like to achieve a one-man live performance by just us.

We look forward to your continued support.

The members have a lot of skills and potentials, and they have a variety of personalities.

When I met them for the first time, I honestly felt that we might be able to go as far as we want to go with this group. We are a group with a long history, and I hope that our young group will live up to its name.

I have only danced so far, but this audition was the first time for me to sing and act, and of course my dancing is still in its infancy, but I realized how difficult singing and acting are.

With the help of my seniors whom I respect and admire, I will devote myself to the performance every day and do my best to become an artist that people will want to support.

I hope to discover new possibilities in my activities as Team Novel. I always want to create a new and innovative group.

I am still in my infancy, but I think there is only room for growth, so I am really looking forward to seeing how far I can grow from now on. I will continue to work hard and I look forward to your continued support!

Participating in the audition led to my personal growth, and I am now ready to take on various challenges in a new environment. From now on, the five of us will support each other as a team, respect each other, and strive to become a complete group. Thank you for your support.
