“I’m forming a band with YouTubers.”
This surprising statement from Hikaru left even Ikumin and the rest of the members completely stunned.
With Seikin, Ryo-kun, and Masai mentioned as part of the dream lineup, the story takes a completely unexpected turn.
Is this really a band formation? Or is there more to it—?
It All Started with “I Want to Give Him a Drum Set”
Hikaru wanted to gift Ikumin, his driver, a drum set for his birthday. Ikumin had always loved music and had talked about wanting to play drums.
But simply giving it to him felt boring. So Hikaru came up with a big lie: “I’m forming a band with top YouTubers.” And he pulled Ikumin into an elaborate surprise plan.
The Band Story Was Almost Too Real
Hikaru kept up the lie for over two weeks, using the excuse of shopping for his own drum set to visit a music store.
He even came up with a cast: Seikin on vocals, Ryo-kun from Tokai On Air on bass, and Masai from Fischer’s on guitar.
Ikumin completely believed the story and seriously helped Hikaru pick out which drum set would be best.
The Big Reveal: A Gift Worth Watching
In the end, they chose a Roland TD-27 electronic drum set, priced at around ¥470,000. It even came with a high-end speaker setup.
Then Hikaru dropped the surprise: “This is for you. I’m not actually joining the band.”
Ikumin was visibly shocked, overwhelmed with gratitude, and thanked Hikaru multiple times.
Not Just a Gag—Ikumin’s True Love for Music
In fact, Ikumin used to have a drum set at home. This gift was truly a dream come true for him.
He had even thought about buying one himself, making this the ultimate “just what I needed” surprise.
What Is an Electronic Drum Kit Like?
The Roland TD-27 is one of the most popular electronic drum kits out there.
It features responsive pads, great sound modules, twin pedal compatibility, and silent practice with headphones—perfect for home use and beginners.
The shop staff mentioned that TD-17 and TD-27 are the most commonly chosen by first-time buyers.
How Much Does It Cost? What’s Included?
The drum kit costs about ¥470,000, and the speaker system around ¥70,000.
While sticks and other basics are included, the speaker needs to be purchased separately.
And since it’s an electronic kit, you can customize the sound to your liking, making it uniquely yours.
Set Up in the Basement: Practice Begins
Later in the video, the drum kit is delivered and set up in their basement.
Seeing Ikumin joyfully playing the drums was a touching scene—a true “dream come true” moment.
Ikumin’s Gratitude and Dedication Shine Through
Ikumin sincerely expressed his thanks, saying, “I may be an average guy, but I’ll keep doing my best,” showing genuine gratitude.
Rather than writing a letter, he chose to speak his heart directly, highlighting the close bond between him and Hikaru.
Conclusion: A Legendary Gift Born from a Lie
Hikaru’s prank and surprise plan turned into the ultimate entertainment gift for Ikumin.
What began as a lie ended in a heartfelt and genuine present—a perfect example of Hikaru’s creative flair.
Going forward, keep an eye on the bonds and surprises within Hikaru’s team—you never know what’s coming next.
