Name
The name "JO1" was picked by Lapone Entertainment from recommendations made by the public (dubbed "national producers") via the official website of Produce 101 Japan.[4] According to the initial suggestion, the letter "J" in the name refers to Japan, the group's origin nation, while the "O1" refers to the first year of the Reiwa, when the group was formed.[9] However, "JO1" officially means that "the trainees who have dreamed together at Produce 101 Japan will become one and aim for the top of the world".[10] The name was revealed in the final episode of the show.[11]
JO1 was formed through the reality competition show Produce 101 Japan, which was aired primarily on the streaming service Gyao! from September 25 to December 11, 2019.[4][12][13] A total of 6,000 participants auditioned for the show, ranging in age from 16 to 30 and not affiliated with any talent agency.[7][12][14] The final 11 trainees were picked by viewers from the 101 through online voting and announced during a live television broadcast on TBS.[15] Unlike previous Produce 101 franchise-winning groups, there was no intention of restricting the group's activity after its debut.[8]
Most of the Produce 101 Japan trainees had no experience in the entertainment industry,[7] resulting in JO1 members having varying levels of experience.[16] Ren Kawashiri and Shosei Ohira have previously worked as backup dancers for SMAP, Tomohisa Yamashita, Wanna One, Pentagon, and Exile among others.[17][18][19][20] The latter, Keigo Sato, Syoya Kimata, and Issei Mamehara went to a local dance school;[21][22][23] Kimata was also active as a cover dancer and Mamehara was a kid's dance teacher.[7] Ruki Shiroiwa is a former member of Johnny's Jr., the trainee group of Johnny & Associates, and Tsukicro, a voice actor music group,[24][25] while Shion Tsurubo spent ten months as a trainee at FNC Entertainment.[26] Kawanishi, Kinjo, Kono, and Yonashiro had never received any dance or vocal training.[18][27][28]
2020: Debut and The Star
JO1 headed to South Korea shortly after the conclusion of Produce 101 Japan to produce their debut single, Protostar,[29] where they went through an "intense" one-month boot camp to strengthen their skills and chemistry as a group.[7] The single was released on March 4, 2020, and debuted at number one on the Oricon Singles Chart with over 300,000 copies sold in the first week, making JO1 the seventh artist to accomplish so with a debut single,[30][31][32][33] while its lead track, "Infinity", reached the top of the Billboard Japan Hot 100.[34] On March 24, JO1 made their first live television appearance on NTV's morning show Sukkiri.[35]
2021–2022: Open the Door, Kizuna, and first arena tour
In February 2021, JO1 made their first appearance in South Korea on M Countdown and held their second online concert, Starlight Deluxe.[51][52] Their third single, Challenger, was released on April 28 and became the eleventh best-selling single in the first half of 2021,[53] with "Born to be Wild" topped the Japan Hot 100.[54][55]
Their fourth single, Stranger, was released on August 18,[56][57] and it was the group's fastest single to sell 400,000 copies on the Billboard Japan chart.[58] On September 23, JO1 performed at the Pacifico Yokohama joint live concert KCON World Premiere: The Triangle alongside other Produce 101 Japan subsequent groups.[59] It was their first performance in person since their debut due to the pandemic.[60] On October 9, Lapone Entertainment announced that member Sukai Kinjo, who had skipped the event, would suspend his activities to receive treatment for adjustment disorder.[59][61]
Lapone stated on February 14, 2022, that Kinjo would resume his activities.[67] JO1 later released two new songs, "Dreamer" and "Toberu Kara" (飛べるから, I Can Fly), as the theme songs for their first drama series Short Program and documentary film JO1 the Movie: Unfinished - Go to the Top.[68][69] On April 22, JO1 released the digital single "YOLO-konde", produced by 3Racha of Stray Kids, whose concept development and lyrics writing process were shown on the NHK program This Is JO1 - Go to the Dream.[70][71] In May, JO1 released their second studio album, Kizuna;[72] the group's first number-one album on the Oricon and Billboard Japan charts.[73][74] It includes "Move the Soul", the opening theme of Aniplex's original anime series Fanfare of Adolescence.[75] JO1 embarked on their first arena tour to five prefectures in September and October,[76][77] attracting 110,000 people.[78]
