The “Rurouni Kenshin” series has earned a cumulative total of 125 million yen, and “8 Toshikoshi no Hayayome kiseki no jitsuwa” is 26,2 billion yen. Takeru Satoh has continued to win with high probability in terms of box office results, such as exceeding billion yen. LINE and SUGAR have also become a hot topic, and he has more than 200,000 subscribers to his YouTube channel (as of March 25,…

Today he was a potato~ 🤣 ❤️
Yesterday he said he’s all lonely being home alone, and he couldn’t even meet Nobu, so I guess that’s why he’s doing these long sugars at the weekend. 😅
...He coughed quite a lot yesterday.. I hope he’s okay!!
I recorded the whole thing. Drop a message if you need my recording, either for watching only, or for further usage.
Maybe some of you wondered why Takeru chooses LINE and SUGAR as his main tools to communicate with his fans, rather than mainstream platforms like Twitter and Instagram. Well, he did talked about that during the interview in Nylon magazine May issue, and after reading that one, I can only say that I’m totally agree with his reasoning ❤️
Back then when I worked on this interview, I can only find the low resolution scans so I decided to translate only the part about this topic, so sorry if this is not a fully-translated interview 🙏🏻
N: Nylon, T: Takeru, K: Keisuke
N: Takeru-san, you held SUGAR sessions after Koitsuzu shooting, right? From the way you communicate with your fans, we can feel that it's something very important to you. What made you start doing it?
T: As for how I connect with fans, I think it's the same with Keisuke, so I was given the chance to hold a fan event right after I debuted as Kamen Rider (KR). At that event, I learned about the importance and how wonderful to have an interactive communication with the fans at real time. That's one thing I don't want to forget.
N: Why did you choose SUGAR?
T: Because the distance [between me and fans] are close. Because the most important thing is to make fans happy, that's why I chose SUGAR and LINE.
N: We feel that it's a unique combination.
K: Do you originally know SUGAR?
T: No, I don't
N: We also registered at SUGAR because of Takeru-san.
T: I'm grateful there are so many people registered, so many until sometimes the servers could not handle it.
N: How do you choose the person you want to call?
T: Depends on my mood at that time.
N: There are fans who likes to talk a lot, right?
T: Because I already did something similar at KR fan event, that experience was very valuable for me.
N: Did Keisuke-san also have lots of communication with fans during KR event?
K: Quite a lot. There was an event where we gathered in a room with fans who won the event raffle, they were happy when I said a line from my role, someone said "Today is my 5th birthday so please say Happy Birthday" and I did it, I could feel the real reaction from them, it was a precious experience for me. I think that events like that are very important.
N: Keisuke-san, how do you feel about your appearance at SUGAR?
K: In the middle, there was a moment where I was alone, right? I feel sorry about it.
T: Nope, I think you enjoyed it the most at that time.
All: (laugh)
N: Is there anything you realized when communicating with fans in SUGAR and LINE?
T: The feeling is a bit different if you compare with SNS posting. Nowadays, it's normal to use Twitter or Instagram, right? However, that feels like, you post something to the public, and the fans will see it, right? What I want to do is, I don't want to just post something to the public, I want to deliver something to the fans. That's why I think Twitter and Instagram doesn't feel right. Actually the way you operate them are the same. You typed "Ohayou (Good morning)" and broadcast it. If you send it with LINE, it will feel like my message is delivered to that person. That's why at least the fans can get that feeling. So rather than sending a "Good morning" to the general public, it has changed to a "Good morning" message for the fans. When I'm doing this, I'm thinking about the purpose of I'm doing this. In the end, SUGAR is also a type of a live broadcast, but the difference with Instagram live is, when you connect with the fans, you are doing it for them. You don't just broadcast it for the public. I'm doing it with such feeling. I think it's something I take it seriously. In KR era, I can only use Ameblo as a tool to connect with the fans. That's why I treat Ameblo very seriously, I decided to write a blog post everyday, and it went on for 2 years. By doing that kind of things, I can build a good relationship with them. The concept is similar with a couple relationship, by doing little things like that, you got fans who can really support you. However, it's difficult to write a blog post everyday so I stopped doing that, and start with "Taketere", an online live broadcast. Gradually the tools I use to connect are changing, and now my main tools are LINE and SUGAR.
