All nine participants gained significant attention both locally and internationally, growing their social media following by an average of 120 times since the show\u2019s release.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThanks 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,\u201d said Dai Ota, producer at Netflix. \u201cIn 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,\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added, \u201cIn season two, we will continue to showcase their compassion and stories of growth, with more unique perspectives and backstories.
