✨ HBD: From the Back Row to the Center of My World ✨

HAPPY 36th BIRTHDAY, YUTA! 💛

Today, we celebrate 36 years of Yuta—and for 23 of those years, I’ve been lucky enough to watch him grow! 🥳

I remember watching Shonen Club in the early 2000s, way before he was the "T" in Kis-My-Ft2. Back then, Yuta was just a quiet kid at the very back of the stage. Most people’s eyes naturally went to the center, but mine? I COULDN'T STOP WATCHING HIM! 😍

When everyone else was flailing over Ya-Ya-yah, Matsumoto Kohei, or Inoo Kei at the front, I was flailing over Yuta at the back! He was so easy to find—that signature pale complexion made him stand out like a little light, no matter how far back he was standing. Even in the grainiest footage, that "Tama-glow" was unmistakable! ✨

It wasn't just about "talent" back then; it was the way he worked. Even in the furthest corner, when the cameras weren't even on him, he was giving it 100%. I remember thinking, "This kid is working so hard." I was praying, "Please, management, realize his talent and effort!" I was praying so hard to see him become something special. 🙏💛

Back in the Junior days, he was my No. 1! (Okay, I can't choose—sharing that top spot were Akiyama Taiga and Nikaido Takashi as well). And even now, he’s still my... well, No. 1 in Kisumai! 🤣 Sorry, it’s impossible to rank them—they’re all so dear to me—but he always has a special place in my heart.

Watching that fair-skinned boy from the back row transform into Kis-My-Ft2’s PROUD ACE has been the most rewarding experience! 👑 He didn't just "become" the center; he earned it with every rehearsal since 2003. Yuta, thank you for never giving up! I’m so proud to be your fan today! 💛💛💛
