THE FIRST – Leo, currently ranked 7th in THE FIRST (2021.08.05)
Ni Tele News (NNN) ran articles on THE FIRST contestants back in 2021 when the audition show was ongoing.
This article was on Leo who was ranked 7th by THE FIRST VS Pro Artist Screening.
Original article here
Summary:
- Around the time he wanted to seriously pursue music, his maternal grandmother collapsed (suddenly fell ill?), so his family couldn't pay much attention to him
- So Leo started visiting his maternal grandpa, he always visited this grandpa every summer.
- Unbeknownst to LEO, his maternal grandpa was suffering from cancer and didn't have much time left to live. On one of the visits to his grandpa, Leo told him that he wanted to be an artist. "Ooh, is that right. Do your best!" was all he said, and his grandpa passed away soon after this visit.
- Although "do your best / ganbare" is something he had heard very often, the same thing said by his grandfather gave him the push he needed to truly become an artist. He wants to be an artist who can support / convince someone with "just one phrase", because his grandpa's one phrase ("Is that right? Do your best~" / Souka? Ganbare yo~") shaped who he is as an artist and supports him, so he treasures it very much.
