TBS-based Tuesday drama "You Become Your Flower" Former high school teacher Tsubasa Honda became the dormitory mother of the 8LOOM group, a group of seven boys, and together they are youth love comedy who aims to become top artists.
The Boys Group 8LOOM, formed in the play, actually started activities for a limited time. Fumiya Takahashi, Ryuya Miyase, Keiei Tsuna, Rintaro Yamura, Soto Mori, NOA and Yukiteru Yamashita show their activities as if they were embodying the meaning of "BLOOM." The 1st single "Come Again" boasted more than 1 million MV views and also performed large festivals.
Currently, the exhibition "8LOOM PHOTO EXHIBITION" commemorating his debut is being held at Shibuya PARCO "GALLERY X". This exhibition will be held in Fukuoka, Nagoya, and Osaka, starting with Shibuya.
On this day, we asked Ryuya Miyase, Rintaro Yamura, and NOA, who first stepped into the exhibition space, about the backstory of the photo book shooting and the "only story" of seven members who are close friends.

"I'm also a fan of 8LOOM (laughs)."
A happy space in Shibuya PARCO
NOA "I didn't think we could hold such an exhibition, so I was impressed that this space was filled with the colors of our 8LOOM. That's a happy space.…!」
"To be honest, I thought it's a bit more compact (laughs). But the power of the big tapestry of 7 people! Our sound source is also flowing, and it makes you feel like you're in a style book."
Yamura "I feel like I've really entered the world of photo books! Each photo is so big that I can't get tired of watching it."
NOA "I understand. I myself have become a fan of 8LOOM without permission (laughs), and no matter how many times I come, I will never get tired of it."
All taken at Shibuya PARCO.
Visit the same location and enjoy more photo books and exhibitions.
All this exhibition and photo books were taken at Shibuya PARCO. On the same floor as the B1F where the venue is located, there are shops that have become location locations. Union Record Shibuya, the predecessor of Disk Union, which was born in 1967, ON THE CORNER Shibuya, which has the atmosphere of a NY diner, and Fuyoen, which has a delicious Sichuan cuisine hot pot.…8LOOM members are innocently fucking and life-size.
Yamura: "I ate a lot during shooting (laughs)! At "ON THE CORNER Shibuya", I ate a menu that feels like the United States, and my tension increased. I have a photo with Bunya at Fuyoen, but the reason for this two-shot is that they were eating until the end (laughs)."
NOA "I remember eating a lot while being dressed in various costumes! If I thought the hamburger was delicious and I just ate too much, I heard that I would eat a hot pot next time at Fuyoen, and it was full but laughing and delicious all the time. I took a picture with so much fun."
This work was taken in July. In front of the photo, the lively memory of the day is revived.
"I would be happy if you could go around the Shibuya PARCO building while watching photo books and exhibitions. Fans are going to pilgrimage to the sacred place. I wish you could enjoy various shops like that!'
Now that the distance between the seven people has been reduced, I have heard the secret story of the members and the group only here.
Yamura "Bunya is actually a very lonely house and has a very sweet and sweet place. I'm younger than me, but I'm so solid that I don't think I'm younger, and I'm very respectful at work. But when I'm private, I don't say "Let's play together" but like "I'm free of time today" (laughs). I'm secretly thinking that it's young and cute to invite you in a distance."
NOA "I feel it recently, but Keiei-kun is actually a 'I want you to be fine'" even if we were tampered with from younger age. Every time I point out that (laughs). For some reason, such a phenomenon has occurred."
The exhibition will also be held in Fukuoka, Nagoya, and Osaka!
A large flower that makes 8LOOM bloom
Following Shibuya PARCO, tours will be held in Fukuoka, Nagoya, and Osaka. I asked you about the points of interest.
There are so many kinds of goods this time! There were stuffed animals of 8LOOM Richard II, as well as goods that I had never seen (laughs). Shibuya PARCO is the shooting location, but there are autographed tapestry in other places, and I hope you can enjoy it as the only place where you can get a trading card at the entrance novelty or get items that can only be obtained at the exhibition venue."
Yamura "In the past, I think that the part where each member was conscious of the role was big. But this time, I'm sure that somewhere, Ryuya Miyase, Rintaro Yamura, NOA…I thought everyone else had a sense of himself. It is a space where you can see the feeling of 8LOOM when it's a private part, when you're not working, when you're away from the drama, or when you're going to play somewhere with 7 people. There's no other place like that, so I think it's very meaningful to come here. So please come by all means!"
What was the last time? When asked, Yamura smiled with a full smile saying, "Oh, everyone loves!"
He played a role in the drama, and in reality he began his path as an 8LOOM. This exhibition, where you can see their life-size figure moving back and forth between the story and the real world, I hope fans will visit it.
I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of flowers they will bloom in the future.
