* He can play the keyboard, the drums and the guitar.
* He had a band with his middle school friends, and he was in charge of the drums .
* He has a slight hearing impairment in his left ear, which he was born with and almost made him quit music.
* His childhood dream was to be a soccer player. He played the sport through his elementary and middle school years, but stopped when he started high school due to his hearing impairment, which made hearing his coach and team mates' instructions hard. He looked up to Miura Kazuyoshi and played for Ichikawa Kanezuka Soccer Club and Ichikawa ST-FUTE Soccer Club.
	+ From football he learned team management and how to take advantage of every individual player.
* When he was in fifth grade of elementary school, he ranked first in a nation-wide Japanese language text.
* He considered moving to Thailand before starting BMSG for a variety of reasons
* He was so busy during 2021 that he only bought clothes once, when he had 45 minutes of free time between two meetings
* Aile The Shota considers him as "family". Sometimes SKY-HI is like a father, sometimes he's like an older brother.
* He believes everyone has a true calling in life. His was to create BMSG to make sure no one else went through the negativity he went through in his life, as well as to produce quality dance and vocal songs.
