SHUNYA from ORβIT, his strong presence seen by his speaking and performance skills. He also has a multitalented and creative side seen as he is in charge of design.

　ORβIT is a boy band whose unique concept stands out, as seen in the MV where they shape their own world vision. It is a group comprised of YUGO, SHUNYA, JUNE, TOMO, YOONDONG, HEECHO and YOUNGHOON, all 7 being popular participants of Japan's largest audition program "PRODUCE 101 JAPAN", although they unfortunately did not debut from the show. From all the unique members, this time we would like to focus on a very multitalented member, SHUNYA. 

　SHUNYA is 23 years old, born in 1997. He is in charge of designing and he takes care of the visual production including the design of the official website, fanclub kit, and directing the production of their goods. He is involved in many of the design works surrounding ORβIT. A picture of SHUNYA facing a Mac, captioned "There's a looot of things to do!!" was posted on ORβIT's official mascot's Twitter account previously.

　One of the reasons why SHUNYA is so appealing is his strong presence. That has been the same since his appearance on PRODUCE 101 JAPAN. His 1 minute PR video has become a legend between fans. His unique slogan "the size of my forehead is semi double, the size of my nostrils is king size" caught the attention of viewers. He then attempted to eat a hot bowl of noodles and use the leftover time to promote himself. In the end, he was unable to finish his noodles and the video ended as he tried to speak with his mouth full. He was definitely an entertaining character throughout the show and you could often see him cheering up the other trainees. He would often complement his rivals' performances shouting "So cool!" and constantly gave his best reactions. His "good guy" vibe definitely comes through. Actually, when I attended the recording of concept battle, I overheard him saying to his team in backstage: "Black Out team, let's all get there (to the final)". 

　His strong presence hasn't changed since he joined ORβIT either. In the video "ORβIT OFFICIAL GOODS 『to EαRTH』 introduction", he led the discussion to explain the goods and give an idea on how to use them, while simultaneously including the other members in the discussion. Although he is one of the younger members, he is most probably able to show leadership skills and bring the members together given his strong presence.

　Additionally, his creative side has been noticeable, as seen by his works as a designer. There was a time in PRODUCE 101 JAPAN when HEECHO was unsure of a part while choreographing, but SHUNYA's idea helped them get through. Even in ORβIT, he himself suggested the "SHUNYA's Birthday Event『Questions for Shuna』" that was later uploaded on the official YouTube channel. His flexible mindset and creativity that powered the idea of something he could do despite the pandemic for EαRTH (ORβIT's fan name) will definitely become a strong tool in the future as well.

　SHUNYA is also known to show very differing sides of himself while performing, compared to how he acts usually. He dances with ease and his voice also gets through. It cannot be said that he was given many parts in "UNIVERSE", but he sings with a unique voice that does not overlap with other members. In "Mizutamari." recorded in "00" with YOONDONG and YUGO, he again showed a low stable singing voice. Since YOONDONG and YUGO both have higher voices, you can tell the uniqueness of SHUNYA's voice clearly.

　Finally, the most particular part of SHUNYA's performances must be the mature appeal he emits that cannot be imagined from his usual behavior. He often looks into the camera while lifting his eyes up, but his serious gaze emits a mature appeal that sets him off completely from his usual character. Many were pleasantly surprised at how he showed a very different mature aura in "UNIVERSE MEMBER TEASER #4", while setting himself apart from the image he gained in PRODUCE 101 JAPAN, in a positive way.

　While having a calm side, SHUNYA shows a strong presence with his talk skills and performance skills. He will most likely continue to gain new fans with the range he shows. It can be said that he is a key person within ORβIT in order for them to gain a wider audience.
