Ryusei Fukada of the idol group ACEes said he has an enduring dream of flying through the air during a press conference in Tokyo on Thursday [1].
Fukada's admission highlights the personal aspirations of performers who often balance strict professional schedules with individual ambitions. The conversation occurred during the promotional event for the upcoming TV Asahi drama series, "Natsuiro no Kumo ga Koi to Arashi wo Makiokosu" [2].
The event took place at the TV Asahi headquarters in Tokyo [3]. Fukada said he wanted to fly using only his own "potential" [4]. This revelation surprised his fellow group member, Tsubasa Ukisho, who questioned if Fukada was referring to activities such as skydiving [5].
Ukisho said their specific careers might actually make such an experience possible [6]. The interaction provided a candid glimpse into the dynamics of the five-member idol group [7].
The press conference served as the official announcement for the new drama series [2]. The show is scheduled to begin broadcasting on July 11 [8]. Viewers can watch the series every Saturday from 11 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. [9].
Fukada's comments regarding his potential and his refusal to give up on the dream of flight served as a lighthearted focal point of the promotional event [1].
“"I wanted to fly using only my 'potential'."”
The interaction reflects the promotional strategy of Japanese idol groups, where personal anecdotes and member chemistry are used to generate interest in television projects. By highlighting Fukada's unconventional dream, the production creates a relatable and humanizing narrative to draw viewers to the drama's premiere.
