KOBAYASHI SAE

The original country’s Produce series was already established, so it’s not surprising if there were plans for a series in Japan as well. Given that Produce X had a sad outcome, I even questioned whether the Japanese version would succeed. However, a single rookie group alone couldn’t possibly stand up to a massive organization of the same kind. I hope that’s not forgotten.

"Is there anyone among my friends who hasn't been able to look back on Lapis since that day it fell? While I'm wandering around the home country's Produce 101 Season 2, Utsuland, and Boys Planet, I just can't bring myself to even watch the performance videos of Lapis... I wonder why..."

The tweet translates to: "I was watching 'Produce' with a lot of prejudice, thinking 'Is this person Chinese...?' But then they were giving it their all, speaking Japanese well, expressing their feelings, singing, and dancing, which completed my usual negative start with my favorite. After that, I was cheering for Toyobon-kun! But then I found myself captivated by someone I thought was really messing up and even considered a distraction..."

"Wow. This is really bad. The super melodic Heisei brothers and OWV are trending, and now I can only think about my brother while reminiscing about the original 'Produce 101 Japan.' I’m seriously searching for Kousuke Honda whenever I have free time. Also, there’s definitely a demand for my brother's dance cover of JUMP, so please post more of those!"

The tweet translates to: "It's nice to have Kobayashi Sae around, and it's also nice to have Nago-chan before and after."

The translation of the tweet is: "Saeko Kobayashi liked this reel, it's divine."

"I can't believe it's only been a short time since NüFEEL debuted; they were such a sparkling and wonderful idol with great performances! I had heard rumors, but Kobayashi Ran-chan is 100% an idol and amazing. I remembered Iota Hana-chan, who I connected with through the Japan-Pop (Nihon Poppu) scene and her unique last name, and she was smiling the whole time and so cute! #ROMAFES #NüFEEL"

Here's the translation of the tweet: "I thought Nü FEEL. would have a cute concept since it was my first time seeing them, but their dance was really cool! I knew about Yui Oda since the 'Produce 101 Japan' days, and I thought she was really good at dancing and had a cool vibe, but when she spoke, I was surprised to find she had a cute side! Also, I thought Ran Kobayashi was really good at getting the crowd excited! #ROMAFES #NüFEEL"

When "Nippon Produce" was being aired, there was one kid in my class (probably) who was watching it, and that kid was a fan of Yoshio Ohira. I remember them saying, "As long as Yoshio can debut, that's all that matters!" I had no interest at all, but that's the only thing I remember.

The tweet translates to: "Iida Shizuki has been acting like she only cares about herself since Produce 101. Honestly, those who support her have no discernment."

Even JAM and MINI were at odds, and after the Japan Project girls, the situation of Lapone male group fans vs. female group fans has formed, which seems like it will be troublesome later on. So I decided to step back before the Laposta event, and seeing this situation, that decision was absolutely correct—applause and cheers! 👏🏻 I was wondering why these people could debut, and now they keep messing up one after another, it's amusing. Fans need to be treated with care, right? 😉

The tweet translates to: "Seriously, the broadcast time was way too uneven, and I still can't forgive it. (How many kids fell through without any focus at all?) (I feel like the girls from 'Nizi Project' got more individual focus.) (Even in 'Boys Planet' without the label, it felt like each person had a bit more screen time.)"

Here’s the translation of the tweet: "Thoughts on the final of 'Nippon Project 2': - I was shocked by Takatsuka-kun; I want to know about his movements at that time. - What happened with Nishijima-kun? - It was great that Fenfan-kun stayed true to himself until the end. - The brief glimpse of Fujimoto Sera-kun was amazing; his visuals were top-notch. - I wanted Kobayashi-kun to debut; I wanted to see him debut in the same group as Takatsuka-kun."

Here's the translation of the tweet: "As a new MINI, I also feel a sense of deep emotion about the history so far, even as someone who is more of a mid-level fan. I can only imagine how much deeper the feelings are for the MINI fans who have been following from the beginning of Produce. Just thinking about that makes me want to cry. #INI_君がいたから youtu.be/Rmt06HTHHWQ"

The tweet translates to: "05line treasures list: Ho Shinron, Kashiwagi Yuu, Matsunaga Ria, Kobayashi Sae."
