SASAOKA HIDEAKI

The tweet translates to: "It's interesting that I was a one-pick for Sasaki in 'Nippon Project 2' because I was the guy with the best sense of rhythm... The Bento Boys are the best!"

"I love 'Nippon Produce 2' and have watched it multiple times, but every time I skip the scene where our Kobayashi Daigo gets called out for his attitude during the level division—it really hurts my heart. However, I do watch the part where Sasaoka gives him kind support afterward because it makes me feel warm."

The tweet translates to: "In 'Produce Japan,' there are no Son Han-bin, Lee Sang-won, An Shin, or Sasaoka. I hope Sasaoka is there."

The tweet translates to: "When Sasakawa-kun appeared in a brown jacket for the level division, I remembered that he was also wearing a brown jacket for the level division outfit! I was celebrating by myself with great joy 🙌🏻 pic.x.com/FQEWCK2v5U"

Sasaoka has been captivating fans with her stunning profile and refreshing eyes since her days in "Nippon Produce," but now that she’s wearing rimless glasses, has presumably gotten her ears pierced, and has become muscular (confirmed), isn’t that just incredible? A convenient dream?

The tweet translates to: "On the same day that the preview for the new world of the Nippon Project featuring Shinogaya is released, you can also listen to past videos (songs) of Sasaoka-san, which feels like an indirect bento 🍱 coming your way."

Here's the translation of the tweet: "Friend: Sasaki is definitely debuting‼️ Yuu: By the way, what about Oohira's singing parts? Friend: Shoulder width‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️ Yuu: By the way, where is Oohira? ⬆️ I want to be excused from this."

The translation of the tweet is: "My 1st pick for 'Nippon Project' was Yushin Miyajima 😇 My 1st pick for 'Nippon Project 2' was Hideaki Sasaoka 😇 My 1st pick for 'Nippon Project Girls' was Rin Uchiyama 😇 My 1st pick for 'Nippon Project New World' is Eien Hamada. Please debut, I'm begging you 😭"

When I think of "Nippon Produce × Niconico," I can't help but remember the videos of the great Sasao. Even after a long time, they still have that flavor. 【Sasao Hideaki】Sasasa【MAD】 nico.ms/sm38425279?ref… #sm38425279 #NiconicoVideo

"I'm currently watching 'Nippon Produce 2' in real-time, and I've become so hooked on Sasaoka-san that I thought, 'I have to start Twitter!' So I impulsively chose the username (sa.) without thinking about the name later, and I've been using it for almost 5 years now, so I can't change my username at this point. It's a little history."

The Sasaoka fandom had already succeeded in spreading promotional videos on TikTok by early summer 2021, even when vertical videos hadn't yet become widespread in the world. On the other hand, I remember them also posting videos on the ancient Nico Nico Douga, showing a fun yet innovative way of engaging within the Nizi Project Season 2 fandom.

The tweet translates to: "PRODUCE 101 JAPAN SEASON 2 【Sasaoka Hideaki】 On-contact Ability Evaluation 'Free Song (VOCAL)' youtu.be/UR_VvN5fzdE?si… via @YouTube"

"Eh?! Sasaki-kun 😭 He was my 1 pick in 'Nippon Produce 2' 😭 I'm so happy to see him again 😭 By the way, his muscles are too cool‼︎"

Here's the translation of the tweet: "My favorite from 'Nippon Project Season 2', Hideaki Sasaoka-kun, has returned after a year and a half! 😭✨️ And I'm also moved by the warmth of the Sasaoka fan community again 🎋 (Fans really do resemble their favorites, it's true...) Welcome back, Sasa-chan! Thank you for your hard work today! Make sure to stay warm and sleep well. Thank you for the post! (I’m going to listen to Sasaoka-kun's 'Electric Shock' for a bit... 🏃‍➡️⚡️♪)"

The tweet translates to: "It's been a year and a half since my last post, and the first thing I share is a photo of my muscular arms. As expected, Hideaki Sasaoka is just too interesting for the Japan Project."
