NISHI RYOTARO

My mother is a fan of Nishi-kun from INI, but when it comes to HANA, it seems she likes Momoka-chan! She saw Momoka-chan on social media when Produce 101 was trending and thought she was great! So, she was also supporting Nonoga. This is the first time I'm hearing this! 😂

"I'm not really a fan, but I thought Yuki Tada from 'Nippon Produce' was really great. However, there wasn't anything that resonated with me. Also, I think Nishi Kaito from that agency is cool, even though he's not very tall. His face is really handsome, but I couldn't find any charm beyond looks (by my standards), so I'm not supporting him."

The tweet translates to: "The 2026 elections for the new world of 'Nippon Produce' and 'Deresute' are going to be intense. Both the West and the East are full of otaku pushing forward to vote."

Here's the translation of the tweet: "INI XQUARE MASTERPIECE Exchange Nameplate Capsule Toy Offering: XQUARE Nishikaito Nameplate (1st image) Looking for: Nippon Project 2 Nishikaito Nameplate (2nd image) Shipping or hand delivery in Tokyo, feel free to reach out! #INI Exchange" (Note: The link at the end is not translated as it is a URL.)

The tweet translates to: "INI's 'LEGIT' really showcases Hikoto Nishi's incredible choreography sense. The synchronized dance of the 11 members is impressive, but Masaya Kimura's expression management is genius. Every time I watch their performance as a MINI, I can't help but feel nostalgic and remember the stomach aches from the voting period of 'Produce Japan' 🚀💫."

Even if I'm close with Chanmina, I'm just a dancer. I wanted to stand in the spotlight, and after going through Produce, it's now my fifth year since debut. When I think about how Chanmina recognizes Nishikun's current abilities and wants to make music together, it makes me want to cry. Chanmina wouldn't invite Nishikun in his first year of debut. He must have been really happy, and that feeling resonates with me and makes me cry.

The tweet translates to: "Even if I'm worried about a guy in real life, when I watch the 'chikamu' of Nishi Kaito and listen to B1A4's songs, I start to not care anymore 🎶🎶 Idols are wonderful 💖💖💖💖"

The tweet translates to: "Nishi-kun thought that INI was a group that was going to disband from the start, so didn't he participate in Produce 101? (This is just my bias/opinion.)"

The translation of the tweet is: "Nishime 👊🏻🖤 Thank you so much for participating in Produce 101."

"Nishi-kun, the harsh criticism of your singing during the online evaluation in Produce 101 Season 2 still lingers strongly in the public's mind, but I think you weren't really that bad to begin with. I wonder if 'Remifura' was just a song that was too difficult. The ones who were able to sing it well were all people with high vocal abilities."

The tweet translates to: "Because I have a past of being a backup dancer for Chanmina, I am able to support INI's Nishikaito now, so I am grateful to my (so-called) past life. It feels like I was able to witness a historic moment where the past and future intersected. In the end, thank you Nishikaito for applying to Produce 101 Japan Season 2..."

Here's the translation of the tweet: "INI Past trading cards, merchandise, exchange, and purchase 【Offering】 Past trading cards, acrylic stands, merchandise 【Looking for】 Purchase >>> Exchange Trading cards in the replies, West or pop-up nameplates I’m waiting for your replies and DMs 🙌🏻 I also have items that are not listed, so feel free to reach out!

"After listening to the collaboration between Nishi-kun and Chanmina, I feel grateful that Nishi-kun chose 'Produce' even though there were so many options."

"Thank you, Hikuto Nishi, for participating in Produce 101 and for becoming part of INI..."

The lyrics here are great. The scenery we watched together, which felt like it would last forever, was wonderful, but I made the decision to leave an important place to participate in "Nizi Project" in order to stand on stage as a person who is not just a dancer. It really hits me. I’m happy to have met INI's Hikoto Nishi in my life.
