HATA KENYA

The tweet translates to: "The Japan Produce was fun, but I can't really support the feeling after their debut. The fields and culture they grew up in are just too different."

The tweet translates to: "Since I was a fan of Akira Hatake, who resembles Kajiyama, in 'Nippon Produce' (I declined to watch episode 1), I haven't been watching it in real time."

Happy Birthday #KENYA🎉🎉 Happy birthday, Mr. Hata Kenya!✨✨ Mr. Hata Kenya turns 29 years old today.😘 #Happy_KENYA_day #HappyKENYAday #PRODUCE101JAPAN

"Insomnia, in a good way, feels like K-pop from about 5.6 years ago. I love the vibe that comes from the Produce series. It's a huge compliment!"

"I'm rewatching 'Nippon Project,' and I can't get over Nanao's comment in the interview after Hongki appeared: 'Hongki had an aura like a sunflower field 😆✨.' It's just too funny!"

Here's the translation of the tweet: "Self-introduction Hello, I'm Akira Hata. Background I was a trainee on PRODUCE 101 JAPAN. Hobbies Cooking, anime, walking Recently getting into Cooking #JJModelAudition2025 @JJ_audition pic.x.com/1aq3saci11"

"I'm watching the old JO1 videos on YouTube, and I really regret not discovering 'Produce 101 Japan' five years ago. I wanted to vote so badly... I guess it's natural that I didn't get any information since I was in a different genre, but it's surprising how completely out of the loop you can be when you're in a different field..."

The tweet translates to: "For the girls in the Japan Produce (program), it was quite the gateway to a rich otaku life. I was originally someone who only loved 2D, but now I’m really happy to have favorites in 3D as well. I've come to feel appreciation for all kinds of things!"

I came to the Produce field and the Hello! Project fans were so noisy and annoying. It doesn't matter if Ran is wearing red or Momona is wearing black.

I'm not sure if I'm allowed to share this because I'm just a person from Keapo's field, but this is so cool and awesome! If I had appeared with this during my Johnny's Jr. days, I might not be a mini now...

The light blue uniforms of the Oonishihatake are so cute 🥺 Please sing Nekkoya~~~

I knew Nishiyama-san was a crazy fan of Nippon Professional Baseball (Kuruiinchu), but finding out that he was in the fan club and went to Yoyogi Park, I seriously shouted out loud. I also come from the Hello! Project background and am a fan of Miya, watching Nippon Professional Baseball every week with bloodshot eyes while feeling like I was going to vomit. We may not interact, but I can't help but feel like we are walking down a very similar otaku path.

I started watching Nizi Project Girls recommended by my wife and fell into the swamp. My favorite is YOU: ME, but I grew up in the rock band field, so I started supporting idols for the first time, so I usually listen to this kind of song... 🎧 youtu.be/pQoJgfPKCis?si… youtu.be/kmzhQ8PgCRk?si… youtu.be/d8rTmcijuOE?si… youtu.be/kg3TGSk-DoQ?si…

When you see this, you might think "There are dancers in Nizi Project 2 too!" but dancers and idols are completely different, and I also think singers and idols are completely different. It's not a matter of superiority or inferiority, but rather that they are in different fields and the way they present themselves is completely different. In that sense, there are fewer complete amateurs in Nizi Project girls, with 3 former idols and 3 former trainees from Korea.

I used to think Produce and stuff were outside my field and just watched from the sidelines... but I also... lean towards the "supporting" side...
