Many have wondered if IZ*ONE would continue their hip style from “La Vie en Rose” to their upcoming Japanese single debut “Suki to Iwasetai” and the group recently showed us their new outfits on a CDTV promo and promoting their performance of their new song which airs on New Year’s Eve:
CDTV年越しプレミアライブ初登場のIZ*ONEのみなさんからコメントが届きました!

Considering that the Japanese and Korean style of outfits for idol groups tend to be a bit different, especially as Japanese idol images are more on the “kawaii” (cute) side, part of the allure of IZ*ONE is that they wore Chanel (or Chanel-style) and outfits that complimented their choreography. So, it will be interesting to see what kind of vibe IZ*ONE’s Japanese single will be.
There are many comments to the CDTV posts about their outfits, many who feel it’s not as good as “La Vie en Rose”, while others are quick to point out that LVeR was geared towards a K-Pop audience, “Suki to Iwasetai” is geared to a J-Pop audience.
Meanwhile, a teaser of the IZ*ONE AbemaTV Special was released. The special “Haijimemashite!! IZ*ONE no First Step in Japan” will debut on January 6th and the second part on the 13th:
