Travis Japan Summer Vacation!! in the USA (Travis Japan Summer Vacation!! ―7人のアメリカ旅―)

We set out on a journey…

into the American Southwest…

to return to where it all began.

Agreed?

-Agreed! -Agreed!

After completing six months of training in Los Angeles,

the all-boy music group, Travis Japan, spreads its wings and soars,

not only in Japan but the global music scene.

This is their journey across the Southwestern United States.

Putting his tour guide certification to use,

Noel prepared two travel plans for the members.

Everyone except Noel will divide up into two groups and go on road trips.

The members travel through the Southwestern United States

as they experience the rich culture and vast expanse of the Wild West.

What are Noel's goals?

I wonder what sort of things

-Noel has planned for us. -This is the most photogenic spot.

The river is pretty too.

It's been a while! Yeah!

Long time no see!

Following Noel's travel guide…

…the members discover a horizon they've never seen

at the end of the ten-day, 1,000-kilometer trip.

Travis Japan: SUMMER VACATION!! in the USA

July 2025, Narita Airport.

- Here. - The seven members of Travis Japan are

checking in for their flight to Los Angeles.

We're all set. Yes.

Thank you.

Here we come.

Let's get this party started.

Hey, got yours? What's your seat number?

I got a great one. That's personal info.

-Show me. -It's private.

Hey, no.

-Nice. -We're done checking in.

-We're all checked in. -We're ready.

Hiya.

All right.

Whoa.

- Hello. - Hey.

- Here we go. -Oh.

- -

Noel gives the members a rundown of their itineraries

at the airport lounge.

Travis Japan was approved for a ten-day vacation!

- Whoa! -What? Seriously? You're not kidding?

I organized a special trip you're sure to love.

Let's have a blast on this ten-day summer getaway!

-Hooray! -Isn't this great?

This is huge. Huge.

This special summer break Noel organized

for the Travis Japan members

is a road trip through the Southwestern United States.

The arid landscape surrounding the Rocky Mountains is home

to an America the members have yet to see.

The Travis Japan members will divide into two groups

and drive separately toward their final destination: Sedona, Arizona.

Team A is made up of Chaka, Umi, and Shizu.

They will set out from Salt Lake City, Utah,

and explore America's wilderness in a rented RV.

Team B includes Shime, Genta, and Machu.

They will embark from Albuquerque, New Mexico, in a rental car.

Their itinerary focuses on discovering

the Wild West culture tucked away in rural towns.

Noel will be in Sedona ahead of everyone

to prepare for the other members to arrive.

-Yo. -This is great.

-It's free for us, right? -That's what's up.

I have one question though.

Noel, what will you be up to?

Oh, that's a great point. Yeah.

Ah.

-I will wait for your arrival in Sedona. - Sedona?

If this is California, then Nevada and Las Vegas are over here.

There's a neighboring state that's kind of below those places,

and to the east is a famous city called Sedona.

That's where I'll be waiting.

I see. You'll be waiting?

I will be

-in special training. -Training?

-You're going to train? -Wait.

-You have to train by yourself? -

I want the most memorable part to be when we're together again.

To make that happen, I need to be in Sedona before you.

That tracks.

You'll tell us what you've been up to then?

Team A's leader, Chaka.

-Here. - Oh.

-Sure you're ready? -Leader.

-This is for you. -Thank you.

-Don't misplace it. -Well then.

Team B's leader, Shime.

-Oh! Thanks. -Thank you.

-Don't lose them, guys. -I might.

-Well… -I'm sure you'll find your way without it.

Is that the travel plans?

-Your itineraries. -Here you go.

You don't have to follow it to a T.

You can feel it out and choose your own adventure.

Okay.

Well, if you follow this planner, you'll have fun regardless.

Thanks. You made these just for us?

Thank you. Thanks, man. Thanks.

-Time to depart. -Whoa, time to head out.

-Bye. -Off we go.

-Off we go. -See you.

Bye-bye.

See you.

-Hello. -Hey.

-Thank you for choosing to fly with us. -Next one over.

Dang it, we're a bit far.

-I'll miss you. -

Comes with body lotion and lip balm.

No way.

Oh.

We have summer vacation to look forward to on top of these seats.

This is the best.

This is where it all begins.

Having time to relax is important too.

I'm really grateful.

Travis Japan is a dance-vocal group that shine on the global stage.

There are seven members. Chaka.

Umi.

Shime.

Noel.

Shizu.

Genta.

And Machu.

After completing training in Los Angeles, they made their global debut in 2022.

They enchant their fans across the globe. Continuing to captivate fans globally

with their incredible performances and teamwork.

- The show was amazing. -Amazing. It was really, really good.

It was a really good experience. I would definitely do it again.

I am from Mexico, but I really love your music.

And I learned Japanese.

-We love Chaka! -

My favorite's Machu.

After their massive success

on a popular American TV show,

Travis Japan broke through from the domestic music scene

to the international stage.

With the international tour concluding successfully,

2025 became the year the group had the chance to go global.

It was exactly the time

for all the members to enjoy a summer break together.

Secretly, Noel took his break before the others in order to prepare a surprise.

Union Station, Los Angeles.

Oh.

Never thought I'd see the day

when I board an Amtrak to travel to all sorts of places.

That's another big item off my bucket list.

I want to go to all kinds of places and see all sorts of things.

Come in contact with the unknown, experience new things.

By the time this journey ends, I hope I've grown a bit wiser.

Because I love to travel, I got certified as a tour guide.

That's what inspired me to plan everyone's summer vacation.

And I thought, it should be America.

It's where we got our start, after all.

From Los Angeles, I board the Southwest Chief train,

which runs on a transcontinental railway service called Amtrak.

This route departs from Los Angeles and cuts through the American Southwest.

I've always had an interest in traveling and world geography,

but never took the initiative to learn more.

I studied to become an expert in this field.

I credit Travis Japan and its members for inspiring me to get certified.

I can honestly say they pushed me to study in my free time.

It's all thanks to them.

If I can plan a trip for the members in return, I'd be over the moon.

And if they enjoy it, then even better.

Las Vegas, New Mexico.

My first stop is Las Vegas.

But this isn't the Las Vegas you all know with dazzling lights and casinos.

This Las Vegas is in New Mexico.

It was a famous hub in the days of the Old West.

I bet they won't expect this.

This time, the most important thing is

for everyone to thoroughly enjoy the trip.

I'm interested in seeing the members grow and learn

as they search and discover new things.

Also, I want to share their journey with a lot of people.

This is what I can contribute to Travis Japan.

I can use my certification to plan a fun trip for them.

That's what I set out to do.

I hope the members enjoy my debut work… …as a travel guide.

These are coasters.

Bet Machu would like them.

Also, I wanted to get presents to give out at the end.

Nothing expensive, more like tokens of what this trip means to me.

Something really special.

That's when I stumbled upon this shop.

- Hey, welcome in. -Hi.
