Dai Nakai and Shun Nakanishi steal the show in Netflix’s first Japanese gay dating show, The Boyfriend.
Part of a group of men who live together with the hopes of leaving the house with a boyfriend, the duo, now lovingly named #DaiShun were the few to make it.
In a reunion episode, it is revealed that they are still together months after the show’s production ended.
The couple’s story continues in a new avenue on YouTube.
Dai and Shun have begun a joint couple’s channel to chronicle their life post The Boyfriend.
The channel features various videos of the couple doing mundane stuff that couples do but with the great DaiShun dynamics.
It is aptly titled DaiShun.
The young channel features two videos at the time of this writing, but the videos are already a hit with fans. The first one, barely a week old, has already crossed the 1 million views mark.
DaiShun Are The Boyfriends
The videos are filmed vlog-style as the couple goes through several exploits.
In the first vlog, they revisit the iconic beach where they would usually open up to each other and share their first kiss.
According to their individual Instagram accounts, the couple loves traveling and aspires to continue doing so.
The duo reflects on their journey, expressing excitement for the future and the importance of inspiring others. They emphasize the value of persistence and embracing new challenges together.
Their relationship has evolved significantly over the past ten months, moving from clarifying feelings to being a happy couple. They cherish this growth and shared experiences.
The second video lives up to the promise of the first as the couple shares their experiences travelling to different places around Japan.
Their stop here is Kofu, where they enjoy the local attractions, including cuisine and nature.
All this is set against the backdrop of a couple’s life and it rife with typical stuff couples do.
In the video, it becomes clear that Dai and Shun have fallen in sync as a couple, and there is not that great difference in energies that was present in The Boyfriend.
Occasionally, they steal kisses from the other person.
Don’t be mistaken in thinking they have become a copy of each other. Shun still has his princess moments, and Dai has adapted to them.
When I say it’s cute, I mean it. For #DaiShun fans (meeee!) this is gold.
