A Q&A session with TAICHIRO!

I love "〇〇"!
Delicious food, cats, physical activity, singing

I'm not good at "〇〇"!
Bugs, party people

What are some essential warnings that should always be included in your "instruction manual"?
I'm surprisingly mentally weak.

What inspired you to start dancing?
When I danced at the school festival, a friend with dance experience praised me, and that got me carried away, so I started dancing!

Where would you like to travel to?
Fukuoka and Hokkaido!

◯What's your phone's wallpaper?
I shuffle about six photos of myself with my friends.

If the concept of calories disappeared from the world, what would you want to eat until you were full?
I'd definitely prefer meat.

◯What is your ideal way to spend a holiday?
I'd love to just relax at home with my cat, haha.

What are you grateful for in your life?
I'm grateful to so many people, it's almost overwhelming! (laughs)
If I had to name one person, it would be the head instructor at the dojo where I was learning kendo.
Even now, but especially when I was little, I was a spoiled brat who only ever said childish things, so I can't thank you enough for straightening out that attitude of mine!

◯What is something you would like to try someday?
I'm basically a homebody, so I'd love to travel someday.

Here's what's amazing about member XX!
HARU is so stupid it's hilarious! (I got his permission to post this!)

◯What was the happiest thing about performing as "BsGravity"?
The messages that fans send me every day and the voices I hear from them at events are what make me happiest.

◯What aspects of yourself do you think have grown since joining "BsGravity"?
I still get nervous, but I'm not as nervous when I stand in front of people as I used to be.

Show off your team (BsGravity)!
These are truly wonderful children, and each and every one of them has something amazing about them. I really hope you'll take the time to get to know each and every one of them.

◯What are the challenges you've set for yourself for the 2026 season?
While improving performance is certainly a goal, my aim is to become a more respected person.

What does "Kyocera Dome Osaka" mean to you?
This is where it all began.

◯How would you describe "BsGravity" in one word?
Mutual encouragement and friendly competition

◯What do you think a "professional baseball cheer performer" is like?
I believe we are like a bridge connecting the players and the fans!

If you had to choose your walk-up music for the 2026 season, which would it be?
