Travis Japan's Kaito Matsukura and Shizuya Yoshizawa on Their Dedication as Performers
Kaito Matsukura and Shizuya Yoshizawa, members of the popular group "Travis Japan," recently sat down for a magazine interview to discuss their perspectives on performance and acting. Beyond the dance skills they have cultivated through their group activities, the two are also focusing their efforts on their work as actors.
In the interview, Matsukura touched upon the "differences in approach" between dance and acting. He explained that while dance offers the joy of expressing one's emotions through the body in sync with music, acting presents the challenge and intrigue of discovering a new self through the words of a character. He noted that both types of work are vital experiences that help him grow.
Meanwhile, Yoshizawa spoke about balancing group activities with individual work. He stated that he applies the concentration he developed through dance to his acting, and when building a character, he tries to deeply imagine what that character is thinking. The two continue to inspire one another as they strive to broaden their range of expression.
Travis Japan is expanding its stage not only in Japan but across the globe. By having each member showcase their individuality in various fields such as dance and acting, the appeal of the group as a whole continues to grow. Fans have high expectations for their continued success in the future.
