Osaki Shotaro (professional dancer turned kpop idol) will be back home in Japan for the entire month of August for his groups fancon tour
Just throwing that out there since youβre thinking about filming a MV Mamushiβ¦.
Recently went viral for being a real life
Congrats to Wayv on their 1st win!!
Youβve worked hard for a long time!! All of Wayv took care of Shotaro so well lol we think he was at Wayv dorm more than his own. Louis would even give kisses to Taro that he wouldnt give Wayv members ππ
Milkteas will always help out
This cause it reminds me that eveytime
#SHOTARO
went to Japan he would pack a suitcase that only contained Japanese snacks in it so that he could give them to his friends and members ππ
since we are saying goodbye to taro's bbl (as an nct member), let's reminisce it by sharing our favorite moments of it, mine is of him with the wayv pets π!
They asked if they knew any famous Japanese actors Sungchan said he knows Nakamoto Yuta π
#SHOTARO
explain that Yuta is a NCT member who just had his acting debut
HeyMilkteas! this is non Shotaro related but WayV is in a good position to get their first ever music show win

RIIZE had a late night practice and Sohee stayed even later to learn choreo for his special stage
While the other members went home Shotaro stayed behind and waited for Sohee practice to be over so they could go home together
In the Haunted House mission Shotaro had to play a Korean game (a variant of rps) but he didnβt know the rules cause heβs Japanese
The ghost had to teach him how to play before he did his mission ππ
They were talking about getting their ears pierced. Sungchan was scared heβd go near the shop but wouldnβt fully commit until nowβ¦meanwhile
#SHOTARO
pierced his own ear with a safety pin in middle school ππ
A cutie 3rd grader who wanted to dance right next to
#SHOTARO
He is also a self taught dancer and already this good keep working hard the future is bright πͺπ§‘
Eunseok said right now there is no official leader of RIIZE
So Shotaro is just taking the initiative to step up and lead the team in many instances because he wants to π
Anton didnβt introduce himself yet but Shotaro tried to move on to the next segment ππ
π¦: why??? π« *in Japanese*
π§: Iβm sorry π *in korean*
Shotaro first debuted over 1050 days ago in NCT. The talent and skills he showcased then was beyond words on top of him being cuteiful and adorable. He was shy and couldnβt speak Korean well but we all fell for his chubby cheeks and eye smile. Everyday Jmilkteas would postβ
Shotaro was singing a long with the reference but the producers and sound engineer heard him through the mic
They were shocked and asked βis that you singing??β βIt sounds really goodβ
But Taro was shy and said he didnβt sing yet ππ€
It look like for inkigayo stage
#SHOTARO
worked with the camera men to help stage the shot of the bridge for βTalk Saxyβ and then they did it it one take
#SHOTARO
cute speech at IU concert
Instead of asking IU fans to support RIIZE a lot just thanked them for letting perform during another concert and asked them to please be nice to briize whenever they met them πππ
Shotaro tried to feed Wonbin some icing but Taro had already licked the stick so he refused
He gave to Eunseok who ate it with no hesitation ππ
πΈ: Taro hyung already licked it once
πͺ¨: *unfazed*
πΈ: why? I can kiss you too
Thank you Moonbin, for taking care of our baby otter just as he debut. The advice and guidance that you gave to him during that time wonβt be soon forgotten. May you now know peace as you watch over your sister and family members. You will be missedπ€
Just to be clear
#SHOTARO
and wonbin submitted their choreography just like any other choreographer would and went the process like everyone one else and their piece was still chosen to be the point choreo for the chorus out of at least 4 other choreographies π§‘
#SHOTARO
was talking about the NCT2020 live He said he couldnβt speak Korean at all. One side of his in-ear was Korean and the other was Japanese translations. He was so confused that night he didnβt know which ear to listen to π₯Ί
OP asked Taro if there any difference being the maknae line in NCT and the oldest hyung in RIIZE?
π§: βIn NCT hyungs take care of me well they bought me food but now I'm the oldest so I need to take care of the kids
Shotaro came to the airport with a bandanna on his hat
πΈ: is this a penalty for Shotaro ??
π§: *laughs and waves camera man off*
Itβs called fashion Mr. Camera man π

But I still made friends in college and
Shotaro cried because he said it finally hit him that he was debuting and that it was a team he practiced well with. It was indeed happy tears that were shed
Today was the last concert of the Japan hall tour π
RIIZE spent an entire month in Japan to perform for BRIIZE. This has been the longest amount of time Shotaro has spent in his home country since his debuted in 2020.
Shotaro proved to be an irreplaceable pillar of RIIZE as
Also reminder that Shotaro and Sungchan did not meet each other until the day of the fitting for the Resonance jacket shoot π they met in the elevator lol Taro had already been in SK for maybe a month and a half 2 months.

Other notable attendees
- Park Seojun
- Jennie (BlackPink)
- Kwon Eunbi
- Enhyphen
- Lesserafim
- Vernon
Shotaro says that he thinks he Japanese is getting worse π
Everyone around him speaks mostly Korean and heβs been living in Korea since 2020. He mostly thinks in Korean now even when he reads Japanese he automatically translates it into Korean in his head
Even though Japanese

βHyung! Take care of your health and have a safe trip so that you don't get hurt. I can only send support to you, but I will always pray for your health and wait for you to come back safely. Please
They recorded BBB 3 times and Shotaro seemed too tired afterwards at the end they were taking pictures with BRIIZE but Taro was too tired to stand so the boys seems worried πππ

π§: I want to thank all the members for their hard work. But in particular I would like to thank Anton. During the tour it was a little difficult to convey our thanks to BRIIZE and Anton really put his effort to interpret and convey our hearts

Anton birthday message to Taro
βThank you for always thinking about the younger members and taking good care of them. I remember the first time I met you. I think I was able to get close quickly because he helped me with the dance and talked comfortably.β
It seems like Treasures Yoshi and Haruto came to RIIZE fancon finale Day 1 today π§‘
Yoshi and Shotaro have been friends since pre debut and were both mentored/taught by the same dance teacher Taka sensei
JinyKu remembered how Shotaro told her βletβs meet soonβ when he gave her a signed album back when Riize first debut. Jiny has been following Taro and sending him PR gifts since he was in NCT
Yesterday she wrote how she kept her promise to Taro when he finally had a schedule
