In early 2014 Takuya took part in filming Cross Gene's project movie ZEDD in which he played the role of XI.[4] Following promoting with Cross Gene for their first Korean comeback, Takuya joined Korean variety TV Show Non-Summit on JTBC as the representative for Japan. Takuya was well received by Korean audiences and earned the nickname Mr Slender hands (섬섬옥수) for his attractive hands. With the shows sudden popularity Takuya also experienced an increase in popularity. In November, Takuya was MC on the Red Carpet of the Melon Music Awards.[5] Takuya also starred in the Music Video for Starship Entertainment Collaboration Hyolyn x Jooyoung, Erase.[6] On 5 December Takuya was awarded the International Exchange Daesang at the Korean Hallyu Awards in recognition of his commitment to contributing to and sharing of Korean culture through both his position as a member of Cross Gene and as a panellist on the Korean variety show Non-Summit.[7] In 2015 Takuya appeared in Mnet drama The Lover as "Takuya".
