Pop group and dance unit DA PUMP fired up the crowd of 1,200 people gathered at a complex in Tokyo Disney Resort over the long weekend at an event held to promote their new single “SUMMER RIDER.” DA PUMP, wearing suits on a day that saw local temperatures hover around 30 degrees, sang two other songs and also held their first shake-hands-with-the-fans event.
It was the first time for the group to perform as a 9-man unit, after seven new members were brought in late last year to beef things up. Vocalist ISSA, 30, said: “It’s new and stimulating, and feels very fresh.”
A reporter asked ISSA how his relationship with fashion model Lena Fujii, 25, was going, to which he said: “She’s my best friend.” Another reporter asked about the prospects of marriage in the near future, and ISSA replied: “There aren’t any at this stage. Right now I’m busy looking after my new members.”
