TAKA SHOSUKE

As someone who isn't watching "Nippon Produce 2" in real-time, at what point during the audition did Takamaki become established as a chemistry pair? Was it when deciding the AIM members?

The tweet translates to: "No matter how good the chemistry within the group is, it doesn't necessarily mean it will continue after debut, so I don't want to overly push for chemistry. Just look at Takamaki-senpai. #NipponProjectNewWorld"

The part of Junki-kun's that we're talking about seems like it could only be done by someone like Takamaki from existing groups. He himself has said that his vocal range has widened since debuting, so I think he wouldn't have been able to do it back during the time of "Nippon Produce" without the label.

The tweet translates to: "It was a miracle that there were two short guys in 'Nippon Project 2' who were both good at singing and good-looking. Their names are Takamaki."

The translation of the tweet is: "This is clearly a thank you to Takamaki 😭❤️‍🔥 (Actually, I've been a fan of Takamaki since the Nizi Project days)"

Listening to Takamaki's "Because You're Here," I remembered what Daydream said before the final of the Japan Produce five years ago: "I couldn't have come this far without Kyosuke," and I cried. 😭

The translation of the tweet is: "I've become nostalgic for the Japan Project and have been in a constant state of 'Takamaki...'"

Here's the translation of the tweet: "After seeing the congratulatory message for Ouma, I thought that Kyo-chan is just a regular fan of Ouma, lol. I wonder what it would have been like if Ouma hadn't made a strong attack in the early days of 'Nippon Project'—Takamaki. But since Ouma is the type to go straight for what he likes, I guess an alternate timeline isn't possible. That's what makes Takamaki, Takamaki 🩵💙"

Happy birthday, Hiromu! 🎂🌟 Your one-of-a-kind singing voice is truly indispensable to INI. I'm really grateful that you auditioned for the program and debuted at a time when we're looking at a new world. 😭🌟 I feel like Takamaki has been increasing lately, and it feels amazing to be back to our roots! ✊🌟 #TakahiroHiromu27YearsOld_WeWereWaitingForYou #HAPPYHIROMUDAY

"Thank you, Daima-kun, for truly challenging yourself in 'Nippon Project 2' and for not giving up or withdrawing. Takamaki from that time is eternal. And for the final episode, the first and second place, Kimuro and Romu, it was a sight that pained my heart personally, but maybe we've finally made it through. Thank you for becoming INI. #Froini #INI @official__INI"

The tweet translates to: "It's the same with 'Nippon Project 2', the girls, and 'New World', but the signal song has a really high key, making it difficult to sing. You can see the dancers struggling with the singing, but they never show the footage of the vocalists who manage to sing it and go to A class! I want the full re-evaluation videos of Taka, Maki, Ko, and Adam!"

The translation of the tweet is: "The reason why Takamaki's fans are so crazy is that during the Produce period, they were so close and the fans worked hard to debut them as a chemistry unit! However, after their debut, they somehow became a rare chemistry that only interacts occasionally, which has turned the fans into ghosts. Recently, with Takamaki, there are dead fans."

The translation of the tweet is: "I wonder what’s going on with Takamaki lately; it reminds me of the time during 'Nippon Project'..."

The tweet translates to: "Recently, there has been a lot of Takamaki, and it seems like the me who was obsessed with Takamaki during the Japan Project period might be coming back..."

The tweet translates to: "I can't help but love Takamaki in the Produce uniform, it's just too much. For 2026 Takamaki to recreate 2021 Takamaki, it's overwhelming."
