@Transition Thank you for sharing the sighting info! Aww, love to hear their happy family story. I wonder if that person know the baby's gender. Nevertheless, I hope they are happy spending time with their family.

@Transition You are welcome. Although she was busy with 'Matching' promo the day before, she still got time to come and support Ryota on the next day. I thought that we would not get any sighting information of Tao at all. Thanks to that person who saw her unexpectedly. Thank you for sharing the info of common friends of RyoTao. Glad to see that a lot of people are supporting Ryota and came to see his first ever stage play. I watched the stage play live (online) and the performance was so good. The background sound effects really gave more impact to the performance. Each stage actors played their parts really well. I think I have never seen this different side of Ryota's character elsewhere before so it is worth watching. By the way, two months have passed since the Noto Peninsula earthquake. The NHK music program "Utacon" that broadcast on March 5 will be broadcasted in an expended version. The performers and songs have been announced. Tao will make a guest appearance on the program and delivering a message to the people of Noto. On the program, they will perform and sing the theme song of "Mare'' 「希空〜まれぞら～」/ "Kizora~Marezora" in chorus. So, people will get to see Tao sings with the performers then. Note: The lyrics of "Mare" theme song "Kizora~Marezora" were actually written by Tao.

Someone who went to the stage play of 'HiGH&LOW THE SENGOKU', said that Tao came to see the performance today (2/24). When that person was standing and turned around she almost yelled out (because) it's Tao Tsuchiya that she saw and said her face is small.

@Transition Yes, although we couldn't see the baby's face (as expected), at least we got to see Tao holds her child which is rarely happen. Glad that she decided to document this special moments into her book. Here the links that were listed by its official publisher (Shogakukan) for book purchasing. https://www.shogakukan.co.jp/purchase/paper/books/09682439

Guys, I have just read Tao's new photobook, Tao Rhythm! I was able to view it as soon as it released at 12:00am (Japan time) since I bought the digital version. She is holding RyoTao's baby. And the maternity shots are so kawaii. It is worth buying.

@Transition Haha. It is normal to see kids throwing things around. They are doing an "experiment" . I have pre-ordered few days ago and it says it will release on Monday. Also, spoiler that I saw: Btw, I have edited and added info on the genetalk translation. I forgot to put that he watched the sunrise together at 5 o'clock.

@Transition I know right. Love to see the family bonding time. So, it makes sense now how they had the same sunrise photos on New Year's last year in 2023. Probably they were in the same place (with his family in-law to be), taking photo of sunrise and announced their marriage. Regarding the stage play of 'HiGH&LOW THE SENGOKU', I heard that it will have a live viewing in Japan movie theaters nationwide. Hope the stage play will going to be well for Ryota. Hehe let's wait for fans' review. Exactly. When I watched Hoeruyoru and Gurunai and saw Maeda Gordon and Koshiba Fuka, I was like 'weren't they work together with Ryota before and now they both were together with Tao in a show?'. Btw, I heard that GENEKou (GENE高) is going to end after 7 years since it started the show, this will be the final. Of course fans were saddended by the news and could not believe that it will end soon as fans can no longer see the seven members together in this reality yet funny show. Will there be the continuation of this show or maybe another show involving them together? We do not know. Oh. I have just finished watching Ryota's new last year drama 'Oshi ga Joshi ni Narimashite'. That drama was so funny lol. I did not focus on the storyline that much but the characters were so funny especially the FL character played by Airi Suzuki. Anyway, Tao's photobook Tao Rhythm (たおリズム) will be released soon. I wonder what will be the content inside the photobook.

@Transition Thank you for sharing a beautiful photo of RyoTao. I understand you. We haven't heard news of RyoTao for a while. However, I am glad to know that they are doing well with their live. Thank you too for sharing the video of Tao's first photoshoot magazine after pregnancy. She looks beautiful. I didn't realise the voice of a baby until you shared it maybe because of loud music background I couldn't hear it but I try to listen to it again and it did sound like a baby. Btw, I heard that fans were so excited to hear Ryota talked on Genetalk about how he spent the year-end and New Year holidays with his family. Genetalk: https://radiko.jp/share/?t=20240122050000&sid=FMKAGAWA Since everyone is talking about it so, I tried to listen to it. Here is the rough translations of what he said on Genetalk (for some parts). ---------- Ryota on Genetalk: As for New Year's, as usual after the countdown TV ended, I went straight to Hatsumode (shrine visit). So, I went to Hatsumode at 3 or 4 o'clock in the morning. I visited shrine, slept for about 30 minutes, and my family and relatives gathered together in Tokyo and watched the first sunrise together around 5 o'clock. I haven't sleep much (in a while). I ate Osechi (traditional Japanese New Year foods) and Ozoni (a miso-based mochi soup) and the father on the other side (in law?) made it, and it's really delicious. After that, I took a nap, and then I went back to Osaka. It was a typical New Year's day. It's a new year that felt like a 'New Year'. In Osaka, I have a lot of relatives, but this New Year's was the first time 'my family' went to mother's parents' house. So, from my child's perspective, great-grandmother is still here, alive. It's like showing (to her) her great-grandchild. It's the only people from that generation from my mother's side that are still alive and that made me happy. [............ etc.]. We had a warm and cozy New Year's holiday, but it's already been a few days since the New Year's day ended. (Then, he talked about his work). ---------- Note: He said "muko no otosama" so maybe he meant his father in law (Tao's dad). Please correct me if I'm wrong.

@Transition If that is the only way they can show their child to public by letting their child become a child actor then I would not mind. Personally I think it is unlikely to happen but we will see. If the rumour is true, I wonder what is the character of the baby in the series? The child of Arisu and Usagi? Or just some other character like saving a kid of someone from something etc.? (like Alice in wonderland Season 2 where Usagi saved a little boy). Lol I had once imagined that what if Ryota suddenly appeared as a villain in Alice in Borderland lmao (my selfish wish). P/s: I just got the time to read the news. So, according to the production staff, it was Tao who proposed the idea to have her child appear in the work and she was filming with her baby for a certain scene in the first episode. Well, let's see if it will be included.

@Transition Thank you for all your posts and updates! I have been really busy for these past few months. Thank you for sharing the info about Tao's photobook! I will definitely buy it! Aww, I am glad that Tao is willing to share with her fans her maternity shots and photos of her holding her child and her live etc. Remember 3 months ago we talked about how we wish that Tao could share her live with us. Glad that she did it in but now in the form of photobook. I don't think she will show the face of her baby, I think it could be just like the photo she posted on her IG where she was holding her child (we can only see the back of her child).
