[Reporter Liao Lihui/Report from Taipei] B&ZAI, the "Little Johnny" boy band of Japan's Star Entertainment, arrived at Taipei Songshan Airport on a flight today (6th) morning, attracting more than 200 fans to pick them up. In addition to many Sakura girls, there were also Taiwanese fans who arrived at 4 a.m. to welcome the eight members to Taiwan for the first time as a group.

B&ZAI (バンザイ) formed in February 2025. It consists of Ryo Hashimoto, Rei Yahana, Daiki Konno, Rinning Sugata, Katsuki Motoko, Hisuhito Suzuki, Hoshiki Kawawa, and Toyo Inaba. They have not yet made their official CD debut. Although they are similar to "trainees", they are currently active under the name of Jr. (Little Johnny) group and are considered half-artists.

This is their first time coming to Taiwan as a group. The B&ZAI members showed expectant and excited expressions as soon as they left the airport. They seemed surprised that so many people came to pick them up at the airport. They all exchanged glances with each other, looking left and right, just like a newborn baby who is curious about everything in this world.

It is worth mentioning that Yahana Rei, who was born in "7 Men Samurai", wears high-tech glasses and has a marquee subtitle of "B&ZAI", as if he is afraid that others will not know that he is a member of B&ZAI, and he is full of smiles. Ryo Hashimoto, who was born in "HiHi Jets", wrote "I love you" in hiragana on the back of her clothes. She even turned around when taking the photo, which was really funny.

They seemed to be walking at a slower pace, showing love and waving to fans one by one. However, they did not just board the nanny's car and leave like other seniors, but turned to another direction. Fans at the scene speculated that they were probably taking the MRT or having other plans. It is reported that B&ZAI will stay in Taipei for a short time before moving to Tainan to prepare for the "Ronin Festival" to be held in Tainan tomorrow (7th).
