Responsible for creating material and live content. On the day of the story planning, he ends up losing contact with his partner Machida after sending a message saying, “I’ll be waiting for you at this station on the day of the concert.” I have a live show coming up in November, but I left the decision of the date, time and venue to my partner, so I started an X account to look for a partner.
