The context

SixTONES is a popular six-member Japanese boy group managed by START ENTERTAINMENT (formerly Johnny & Associates). They officially debuted in 2020 and are known for their powerful performances, diverse musicality, and strong group chemistry.

Kyomoto Taiga is a vocalist and a prominent member of SixTONES, often recognized for his theatrical background and distinct vocal talent. Kochi Yugo is another member, frequently perceived as the group's reliable and thoughtful 'big brother' figure. He is also known for his crafting skills and gentle nature.

The phrase "XX ga YY de yokatta" (I'm glad XX is YY) is a common expression in Japanese to convey gratitude or satisfaction that a certain person or thing belongs to or is associated with another. For example, "I'm glad I'm a SixTONES fan." Kyomoto's unique reversal of this phrase – placing "SixTONES" where an individual usually goes and "Kochi Yugo" where the group usually goes – created an intriguing and profound sentiment that resonated deeply with fans, highlighting Kochi's foundational importance to the group as a whole. X is the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, where these fan reactions unfolded.
