Taiki was born on June 28, 1987. As a child, he liked playing inside the house, and after that his father was rough on him and told him to go outside more. He liked trying things that he had never done, that's why he became a member of every committee in his elementary school. He was shown to like dancing since he was young. When he entered high school, he went to a studio and met AAA's Nishijima Takahiro there. Nishijima said he would go to Tokyo to join Avex, and so Taiki thought he also wanted to go there. While going to high school, he wrote out applications to many different agencies, and finally he went to Tokyo after graduating high school. There he joined an artist agency. After an acquaintance with an avex staff, who was Da-iCE's founder, he decided to enter avex and join Da-iCE.
In Da-iCE, he met Sota and Yudai first, when they were recording a demo of a song. At first, it was easiest for him to get along with Toru because they are at a same age. The age gap between Taiki and Hayate was quite big, but to him, when it comes to dance ability, age doesn't matter.
In 2011, he started his solo career under the stage name 'claquepot'.
Overview
claquepot is a singer-songwriter, composer and producer that made his debut in 2011.
He always hides his face in his music videos and live performances. He said it's because he doesn't want people's first impression of him to be his appearance, but his voice, his songs' melody and lyrics.[2]
He was known to most people as Taiki's solo career. However, Taiki himself never claimed he is claquepot. Taiki only refers to claquepot as his "twin brother".[3] Despite that, it can be sure that claquepot is Taiki as they never appeared together and when Taiki was asked about his family, he just said he has a younger brother.[4]
He belongs to avex management inc. agency, and releases his music under the avex trax label (previously UNIVERSAL SIGMA).

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I said Home sweet home as time goes by
暖かいあの頃に帰れない
I said Home sweet home as time goes by
でも居心地はそんな悪くない
並んで free になって
フットワーク身軽になってく
24時過ぎてやっと夕食を
立ち戻った本来のLife
やることなすこと全部自由自在さ
明日もきっと忙しそう
誰もいない空間の至る所に
染み付いた記憶の欠片
見ないフリした今夜も
理由を見繕ってしまおう
都合がよくなるまで忘れてく
I said Home sweet home as time goes by
暖かいあの頃に帰れない
I said Home sweet home as time goes by
けど大切な何かが足りない
I said Home sweet home, my home sweet home
My home sweet home 君はもういないけど oh no
寄り道が減った分だけ道草が増えて
非効率と効率が入り混じったまま
日々は過ぎ去ってく
逆算で鳴らした目覚まし時計
イレギュラーのない Every morning
これが幸せかといえば言いきれない部分があるが
退屈で充実した毎日
I said Home sweet home as time goes by
暖かいあの頃に帰れない
I said Home sweet home as time goes by
けど大切な何かが足りない
I said Home sweet home, my home sweet home
My home sweet home 君はもういないけど
I said Home sweet home, my home sweet home
My home sweet home 君はもういないけど
I said Home sweet home, my home sweet home
My home sweet home...
