Executive producer Dai Ota said of this to Pink News, “Thanks to the love from our viewers, it is exciting to return for a new season. Being the first same-sex romance reality show in Japan, we paid careful attention to ensure that the story is an authentic portrayal of these relationships.”
“In season one, we showed not just romance but their friendship and meaningful connections with one another, which I believe touched the hearts of fans around the world. In season two, we will continue to showcase their compassion and stories of growth, with more unique perspectives and backstories.”
