KAWAMURA KAITO

The moment I got to hear about Kaito Okano from Katsunari Nakagawa during the Japan Pro era. ↑ It’s such a historic moment, so let’s give a like and more from the original video (OWV YouTube live stream) linked below! 🔗 youtube.com/live/5blXaEqEq… pic.x.com/1dSUkNre2t

Katsu-kun: While I was speaking in Kansai dialect during Produce, Okano Kaito asked me, "Are you angry?" and that's when I started to be conscious of speaking in standard Japanese. Epé stream vol. 1 youtube.com/live/5blXaEqEq… via @YouTube

Katsujo: "During Produce, I was told by Okano Kaito, 'Are you angry because you're speaking in Kansai dialect?' I realized it does sound harsh. So I'm being careful not to use too much Kansai dialect."

Ken-chan said, "In the position battle rap group of 'Nippon Produce Season 2,' we talked about being conscious of lyrics like Kaito's." It was so cool to see how much the S2 kids respect Okano-senpai! Indeed, the Obaoru group had a lot of lyrics that utilized anime and people's names (like "defeating Masaya" and "domain expansion").

"I suddenly wanted to listen to the rap from 'Nippon Project 1,' so I revisited it after a long time. I remembered how I got goosebumps listening to Kaito Okano's rap back then (in both a surprised and impressed way). Even now, I still really like it."

"Kawamura-kun, your smile during the performance was really great! I remember how in Produce 101, there were times when you felt anxious and desperate because of low rankings, trying hard to stand out but feeling like you were just spinning your wheels. The frustration of not being able to do your best despite your efforts is something I understand. Still, I think it’s amazing that you were able to perform with that smile in the end."

Here's the translation of the tweet: "Kawamura-kun really wants to take the E position, and everyone is so desperate because it feels like Produce 101 😭 I understand that 😭 Tsutsumi-kun seems like a really good guy, and he looks like he has a strong sense of responsibility. Almost like a male version of Naoki Ozawa. Matsuda-kun has fair skin and a cute face, so he definitely passed the Meow project. I really hope he stays! Other than that, I think Hamakawaji is also cute."

"I really want to see the interactions between Tegoshi and Kaito Kawamura, but I can't help but be curious about what kind of conversations someone like Raia-kun would have."

"I'm waiting for the interaction between Kaito Kawamura and Tegoshi."

"I've thought this since the Japan Produce days, but Kaito-kun has a strong face 😇😇😇 Arisono-san was also cute 🥹🫶"

The tweet translates to: "It came up as a recommendation on YouTube, but when did Yuuki Tokunaga do 'Regular Hours Off'!? And what about the lyrics by Kaito Okano on that day? I'm in a state of confusion (but I still prefer the original song...) youtu.be/TnOTg0dAYcU?si..."

Here's the translation of the tweet: "Today I was watching 'Nippon Project' and I'm watching in the order of 'Nippon Project Girls' → 'Nippon Project 2' → 'Nippon Project'. If it's 'Nippon Project', my number one pick would probably be Kaito Okano, although the position battle is still ongoing. Isn't it easy to understand the type of my number one pick? LOL LOL"

The translation of the tweet is: "Unexpected new discovery: Kaito Okano has diarrhea every day during the Japan-Philippines match."

My friend's friend saw today's Akuri and asked, "Is that Okano Kaito who was on Produce 101 Japan...?" I said, "I didn't watch it back then, but yes! That's the Okano Kaito!"

"When it was decided that each person would perform a rap for the position battle in 'Nippon Project' to determine the center, Kaito Okano sang the Hanbin part from 'Climax' ← I will cherish this forever."
