うっとおしい残響に狂いだす世界。
あの音は消えた、もうピアノは弾かないんだ…
The depressing reverberation that makes this world go mad.
That sound has disappeared, I do not play the piano anymore...
Takuto is a quiet and unsociable boy. A melancholic memory caused him to quit being a pianist until he encountered Schall, a piano ghost that only he can see, who encouraged him to find the sound that he last heard.
But in Pop'n Music: Usagi to Neko to Shounen no Yume, his younger self is more upbeat and cheery than his present self.

Mr. Takuto insists that he will not play the piano anymore.
Why?
I had intended to invite past characters, but Mr. PON told me that he wanted a new character for this song, and when I listened to the song I found that it did not fit with any of the past characters.
I managed to create a character with a gap at the end, and I thought I had blown fire out of my head.
I was so excited by the story that I wondered if it was Retsu or me who was on fire.
This song is impressive with its intense piano and heart-thumping vocals.
I felt that Akinari's vocals in particular brought out a new side to the song that has not been seen in any of the songs he has sung on Pop'n.
If we were to go straight to the point, we would have had a "character who plays the piano violently," but since the song is so original, we thought it wouldn't be interesting to go straight to the point. I tried a paradoxical approach.
I wanted to make a difference from Takuto, who is a rough and tumble action player in FEVER action, so I even put the vest in the belt in the basic costume, which was a bit too much. It gets fuzzy.
A boy who, for one reason or another, has a talent for the piano but chooses not to play it, and a piano spirit that only he can see, who can only grow through the music he creates? The set character is a boy who has a talent for the piano but chooses not to play it for one reason or another.
Please play for Takuto-kun! Play! I borrowed the explosive power of the highlight zone created by your play and possessed Takuto, forcing him to play the piano.
I hope that one day he will be able to play the piano himself.
I am so thrilled that everyone I met has connected with me further and created new music for Pop'n! Thank you very much.
ぼくがたくさんひいてあげるね
Hey, do you like the piano too?
Untranslated.
ちょろっとPONさんにこんな感じでいけないかな？と伺っておいたら
シュッとやりとりしてくださって、ぴゃ～っと楽曲が出来上がってきました！！！ような気がします。
アニメ制作途中でれどぐらさんに見ていただいたような気もするんですがどうだったかな～？ とにかく出来上がった曲がぴったりアニメに合っていて 曲名とかもしゃれおつの香り漂わせつつキャラに寄り添ってくださっている… れどぐらさんとフィーリングばっちりなんだなって言うのが改めてわかりました！ 私がじゃなくてタクトくんたちがですけどね、、、 ところでナビくんCVに先駆けてタクトくんCVついてるじゃないですか、、、おお、、、なんてきゃわゆいすぎる、、、 ケンカとかしてるの、、、ア～もう言葉にならない！(大の字)
それでは時系列の説明いってみましょう！ ラピストリアタクトくん/エクラルシャルちゃん/うさ猫タクトくん をお手元にご用意いただきまして、 今回のうさ猫タクトくんは、エクラルシャルちゃんのキャラクターコメント「ぜんぶなくして漂ってたわたしに～略～」の部分に該当します。色々なくしてちっちゃくしぼんだミニマムシャルちゃんとうさ猫ちびっこボーイの出会い編となっております。 うさ猫タクトくんフィーバーアニメーションご確認いただきますと、シャルちゃん変身シーンがご覧いただけますが、しぼみ状態にピアノパワー（＝ハイライトゾーン）注入しているので、ラピストリアタクトくんのフィーバーアニメ内シャルちゃんやエクラルシャルちゃんより幾分小さめの、まだ本気だしてないぞっていうのが分かって頂けると思います。 後はシャルちゃん装備パーツ数から計算して、うさ猫タクトくん→ラピストリアタクトくん→エクラルシャルちゃん、という並びでアニメーションは展開しているのがおわかり頂けたのではないかなと。 最後雑ですね！そのへんはまたの機会に！ ふたりを沢山かわいがってあげてください、どうもありがとうございました～

Win animation has his hair highlighted in blond with white, and the scleroses of his eyes are black. This alternate palette is used again in cucumis melo from pop'n music peace.
君の音とAuftakt
In his Usaneko appearance at his younger self, Takuto wears a white, short-sleeved shirt with blue lines, gray shorts with straps like a combination of overalls, a pair of pale red shoes, and knee length socks with grayish blue highlights.
Takuto's 2P gives him the same colors from Lapistoria, only this time his shirt and socks are grey with baby pink lining, while his shorts are light and his shoes become dark brown.
Cameos
Schall appears alongside Takuto in some animations, but he only appeared on her Miss, FEVER!, Win and Lose animations in Pop'n Music éclale.
On his change card from the Pop'n Music éclale vol.3 Card collection, Takuto wears a dark blue tuxedo with light blue sections on his bowtie and a shirt with black collar accents.
