Daichi Shiozaki, a member of the popular Japanese vocal and dance group M!LK, has finally launched his long-awaited official personal X (formerly Twitter) account. However, his memorable first post has sparked massive laughter and surprise, causing the phrase "tripod headstand" (santen toutatsu) to trend on social media.

Immediately after opening the account, Shiozaki posted, "Nice to meet you! I tried a tripod headstand! Looking forward to connecting with you."

For fans, his first post is being treated like a lucky charm.

While the members of M!LK each show off their unique personalities through their individual accounts, Shiozaki has made an exceptionally eccentric and memorable debut. All eyes are now on what unique posts he will share next.

Tragedy on Miyajima: 1,200-Year-Old 'Eternal Flame' Hall at Mt. Misen Destroyed by Fire

On the morning of May 20, 2026, a fire broke out near the summit of Mt. Misen on Miyajima Island in Hatsukaichi City, Hiroshima Prefecture—a site recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage island. The blaze completely destroyed the "Reikado Hall" of Daishoin Temple, which enshrines the "Eternal Flame" (Kiezu-no-hi), a sacred fire associated with the Buddhist monk Kobo Daishi (Kukai).
