TAKA SHOSUKE

"I was stuck in memories from 'Nippon Produce 2,' so I was really shocked that Takamaki wasn't part of the Valentine's project, and I was like, 'Who is this Rihito?!'"

"I was watching and thinking that it's really mysterious how there was no part competition during Takamaki's Produce 101 period."

During the Produce period, Ouma said, "I couldn't have come this far without Kyousuke." Kyousuke replied, "I was able to do my best because Ouma was there." It really shows how important their relationship was. I really like Takamaki. #As expected of Takamaki!

The tweet translates to: "Takamaki's peak was during Produce 101, so just standing next to him makes my heart race."

Here's the translation of the tweet: "This is making me cry, lol. Seriously, it's amazing how strong Takamaki A is even now, I applaud their determination. Let Me Fly ~To That Future~ [PRODUCE 101 JAPAN SEASON2] youtu.be/Zlxf98J8-mc?si… via @YouTube"

The tweet translates to: "They often say that Takamaki and I are complete opposites, but I think that in situations like during Produce 101, where our true selves are exposed, we could see a lot of commonalities at the fundamental level. In other words, if we were put in a similar situation again, we might start to feel those commonalities again, but I really want us to continue having fun in our activities... So...

"I've been quietly supporting since Produce, and at first, I went to the events alone... but now I've connected with so many lovely MINI fans through these connections! Yesterday, seeing Maa-chan in tears and Takamaki's happy smile on stage made me so happy! Watching them enjoy it with all their heart made me feel like this is where I belong. I'm really glad I chose INI from so many options! 🥰"

"After the Japan Project, I'm the one who keeps waving the cutest uchiwa (fan) with Takamaki and Daimu, who are bravely hanging in there despite being worn out..."

The tweet translates to: "There are so many common points, and during Produce, Takamaki and the others were mentally in the same place. Their personalities are completely opposite, and it might be a rare chemistry now, but watching this video makes me think that they probably understand each other very well."

The tweet translates to: "When Daima-kun said he wanted to name it 'Peko-chan,' Kyo-chan reacted because I think Daima-kun really loves animals and believes in giving them names that truly suit them, without joking or making excuses. Also, during the Produce series, Takamaki mentioned that he wanted to name a cat 'Peko-chan' or something like that (just a fantasy)."

The tweet translates to: "This is how I support the Japan Project: JO1 → Shihoren, INI → Takamaki, ME:I → Mebokemi."

The tweet translates to: "Since the topic of Produce 101 came up in a surprise by Jin, I can't help but feel emotional about my favorite Takamaki. Daima, who was ranked 17th and out of the competition, realizes that this is the last time he will sing with Kyosuke, and Kyosuke, who noticed this, is holding back tears and saying 'stop it.' It's so heartbreaking. They were supposed to be the biggest vocal rivals, yet I'm really glad they could debut together."

The tweet translates to: "During the face-to-face meeting for 'Nippon Project 2,' I appealed to everyone saying, 'Let's talk a lot about pets if you have one!' But the first person to jump in was someone who didn't raise their hand as a pet owner—Kyosuke, which is funny. Takamaki episode."

"During the audition, Takamaki was overflowing with talent in every way, but it seemed like everything could fall apart over something trivial. I love you, Takamaki from Produce."

The tweet translates to: "The reunion for 'Nippon Produce 2' was so much fun! I really loved Taemaki 🥲🐹 I wanted Takamaki and Kurita to talk about AIM, lol."
