“The synergy between us. That’s our legacy.” —@oneoreight_ (One or Eight) Neo + Mizuki + Reia + Ryota + Souma + Takeru + Tsubasa + Yuga 💛🖤 What started as eight unique individuals has now become J-pop boy band One or Eight, a name inspired by a Japanese phrase meaning “all or nothing“ — a motto the group actively lives by. “We all come from completely different backgrounds — some are dancers, some are producers, some are rappers, some are singers — which is a rare occasion for groups,” says Neo of One or Eight, which has been together for two years, both as bandmates and roommates. “We share everything, even food.” Earlier this week the band rereleased their track “Kawasaki” in collaboration with @bigsean (Big Sean), a musical idol of theirs — proving that music really is a force that connects. 🛵🎶 Video by @oneoreight_ Music by @oneoreight_ and @bigsean

Is it possible to be freezing AND fabulous? 🩷❄️ Creator @thatdollmo (Mo Franklin) shows us how. 💭💤 Mo made these images with @meta.ai (Meta AI) using a pic of herself and a prompt — like, “Imagine me on a pink snowmobile,” which is Mo’s favorite because it’s on her all-pink bucket list. “It was so much fun creating each image because I could simply write down whatever I wanted the image to look like and it created it for me. I’m a Pisces, so I loved thinking of ideas and being creative. I’m also a drama queen, so being able to have whatever I wanted at that very moment was also pretty cool.” You can access this feature in a DM with @meta.ai and now in Stories (rolling out in the US to start). ✨ To try it in Stories, tap “AI Images,” or the “Add Yours” sticker on a friend’s Imagine yourself story.

“Every follower can be a potential friend, so I try to embrace what makes my friendships special and let that shine through in my content.” —Vietnamese creator @2502kl (Khánh Linh) “Trends can feel repetitive, like everyone is doing the same thing, so I focus on finding one or two elements that make it uniquely mine. I believe all content is relatable to the right people. It’s important not to try to fit in, but to be yourself and trust that the universe will put you in front of people who can appreciate that.” To see more from @2502kl’s creator POV, visit our story.
