Background and release
editOn October 5, 2020, seven months after their debut, JO1 held a press conference at the Esports Ginza Studio in Tokyo to announce the release of their first studio album The Star and first online concert titled Starlight.[6] The concept photos for the album were released on the same day and showed the members in light-colored stars-studded costumes, expressing their "shining self" to continue the concept of their previous release.[7]
The album was released on November 25 into four different editions, consisting of seven new songs and all songs from their previous EP singles, Protostar and Stargazer.[8] The three limited editions (Red, Blue, Green) feature 15 tracks, including "Starlight", "Shine a Light", and another new song that is different for each edition. The limited edition Red comes with a bonus DVD featuring a talk segment with the members titled JO1 Party. The limited edition Green and Blue come with a photo book and an accordion card, respectively.[9] The normal edition comes with a solo poster and features 19 tracks, including all new songs in the limited editions and JO1 version of Produce 101 Japan's "Yancha Boy Yancha Girl" and "Happy Merry Christmas".[7] It is also available in digital format for streaming and digital download.
Promotion
editTo commemorate the album's release, JO1 held a live streaming event on their official YouTube channel on the release day.[10] They were also featured in a special program on Music On! TV and released their second official Line stickers set.[11][12] JO1 subsequently released performance videos for tracks "Safety Zone" and "Monstar",[13][14] both directed by Naokazu Mitsuishi .[15][16]
JO1 promoted the album by performing "Shine a Light" in several television shows, including the 2020 FNS Music Festival held on December 2, 2020.[17] They also performed the song along with "Infinity" at the 2020 MTV Video Music Awards Japan and the 2020 Mnet Asian Music Awards (MAMA) where they received the Rising Star Award and the Best New Asian Artist, respectively.[18][19][20] On December 4, member Junki Kono performed an acoustic solo version of "Infinity" on the music YouTube channel The First Take.[21] Due to the exposure from his appearance on the channel as well as the group's performances on the FNS Music Festival and MAMA, four songs from the album, "Infinity", "Shine a Light", "Monstar" and "Oh-Eh-Oh", reappeared in the top 100 rank of Oricon's YouTube Chart of the week.[22] Kono's solo performances of "Infinity" and "Voice" were subsequently released as digital songs on January 13, 2021.[23] On February 25, JO1 did their first performance in South Korea by appearing on M Countdown.[24] They also performed songs from the album as the headliner for Tokyo Girls Collection for the second time in a row on February 28.[25] To further celebrate the album's release, JO1 held a special exhibition titled JO1 Museum: The Star sequentially at six HMV Museums nationwide, starting from November 3 to December 6, 2020.[26]
Singles
editThe album's lead single Protostar was released on March 4, 2020, which is also the group's debut release. The single was released as an extended play and features "Infinity" as the lead track.[27] The single reached number one on the Oricon Singles Chart and Billboard Japan Hot 100,[28][29] and received a Platinum certification by the RIAJ.[30] Earning an estimate of 640 million yen, the single helped JO1 becoming the second best-selling new artist on the Oricon chart for the first half of 2020.[31]
Stargazer was released as the album's second single on August 26, 2020.[32] The single continued the group's number one position on the Oricon and Billboard Japan charts.[33][34] Released with a concept about teenagers in distress, the music video of its lead track "Oh-Eh-Oh" features members of JO1 fighting against a mysterious group as high school students.[35] Hui from the South Korean boy group Pentagon co-produced the song.[36]
The music video of the promotional single "Shine a Light" was released on November 10.[37] Directed by Yasuhiro Arafune,[38] the concept of the music video was dubbed as "intersecting space-time". It depicts the members roaming around the same intersection in a fictional city, separated by time and era, with shining light as the only connection between the different timelines.[39] The song peaked at number fifty-eight on the Japan Hot 100.[40]

Critical reception
editAzusa Takahashi of Real Sound praised the group's rapid growth that is evident throughout The Star, especially in singing. She also mentioned that one of the album's charms is the amount of possibility shown from the wide range of tastes in the songs. Although some tracks have been performed in Produce 101 Japan, she described those songs as "cohesive while retaining the freshness of the time." To close her review, Takahashi stated the album is good in showing "factors that makeup JO1 as an artist", which are the bond between members, the "spices" found in the songs thanks to the uniqueness of the members, and gratitude to their fans.[51]
