Special cover version exclusive to QJ Store

A special feature on JO1 spanning over 40 pages
The theme is " Go to the Top in its 5th year: 11 dreams that will change the era."

JO1 debuted as a "global boy group" in March 2020 and , despite being hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic, has been making remarkable progress in the rapidly changing entertainment world.

Since their debut, they have maintained the motto of " Go to the TOP, " but now in their fifth year of activity, what dreams do they have, and how are they trying to change the times?

In order to clarify where the 11 members are currently on their path to reaching their dream of " the TOP ," we asked them questions such as "What does the TOP mean to you?", "How far have you come toward the TOP at this point?" and "What does it take to reach the TOP ?" in solo interviews totaling over 30,000 characters .

It also features reviews of all eight singles, including the eighth single "HITCHHIKER," which will be released on May 29th , and Tsuya , author of "I Decided to Rap: A Critical Theory on Female Rappers" and "Alternative R&B Disc Guide," will analyze JO1 from a musical perspective.

The official Quick Japan EC site, QJ Store, is selling limited edition covers with different designs from the regular covers . A portion of the sales from the QJ Store will be donated to support the recovery efforts in the wake of the Noto Peninsula earthquake .
