sharing his wide ranges of interests to the world. On 14 and 15 February, he took part in Hero Yo Yasuraka ni Nemure, one of LDH's brand new reading drama BOOK ACT. On August 7, he released his first digital single O・Y/YUM YUM with stage named HONEST BOY(Naoto means honest boy in Japanese). He also starred alongside Tao Tsuchiya in the film Food Luck as Sato Yoshito,a freelance writer who embarks on a food journey to find the flavors of home. The film was released on November 20. Business Studio Seven On October 26, 2015 , Naoto announced that he launched his apparel brand STUDIO SEVEN . STUDIO SEVEN is Naoto's own apparel brand. It was named STUDIO SEVEN because as someone who works in the music industry, Naoto has a closed relationship with studios, so it was natural for him to use the word in the name of his brand, while the word "seven" came from the fact that Sandaime J Soul Brothers, the group Naoto belongs to, has seven members. Prior to its establishment in 2015, he had expressed his commitment and love for fashion several times. His brand focuses on unisex street wear and has three characteristic motives: a mouth with red lips representing "Love", a blue rose representing "Dream" and a smiley representing "Happiness". These three motives are an homage to the company Naoto is signed to, LDH. Moreover, the smiley face used as an icon for Studio Seven's designs is called "Mr.Confused". Naoto designed it with the intention to symbolize the discrepancy of anonymous individuals posting negative words and slander on the Internet while never knowing their actual situation, real face and true emotions. This 'darkness of modern times' transforms the smiley face, a symbol of absolute happiness, into something confusing. In March 2019, a GU×STUDIO SEVEN collaboration collection was released. Furthermore, Naoto and Nigo's brand HUMAN MADE often collaborate together since both creative directors are friends. STUDIO SEVEN currently owns an online shop and the flag shop STUDIO SEVEN NAKAMEGURO in Aobadai Meguro-Ku Tokyo. The brand is also sold at the select shop Just One Eye in Los Angeles. In March 2020, a HUNTING WORLD×STUDIO SEVEN collaboration collection was released. In 2020, two New Blance sneakers produced in collaboration with STUDIO SEVEN and mita sneakers was released. HONESTBOY® STUDIO SEVEN has a diffusion line named HONESTBOY® , which is named after Naoto himself, as
