"Congratulations RUBXX!" bati ni Shantal sa grupo. "At para mas makilala natin sila, panoorin natin ang video na 'to."

"Hello, I'm Yuki Tokugawa. A bit of information about me. I started as a trainee sa HTS season 1 under the care of Mr. Bernie. In season 2, I co-mentor one team where the coach of A-KINGS came from, Noe and A-KINGS' Gabe. For season 3, aside from becoming a talent assessor, I also did an assistant mentoring to A-KINGS."

"When Shakers was established, I decided to apply for another team. For an unknown reason, I am obsessed with mentoring kids that placed on the bottom and so I decided to leave A-KINGS and build RUBXX. Now, I am a proud mentor of RUBXX and we are currently in our humble home where we are conducting our isolated trainings. The question is, 'how were we able to create RUBXX?' "

Mula sa mukha niya ay nalipat ang eksena sa trainings na ginawa ng RUBXX – singing during workout, dancing, stunts, instrument playing, song writing.

"Hindi katulad ng marami, ang RUBXX ay pinagsama-samang ordinaryong talent na hindi pa gaano ka-developed, hindi pa gaanong polished. Tatlo sa kanila, nakuha ko sa wildcard re-audition while the other two were my personal choices."

"One of my personal choices was Xander. I discovered him in a restaurant where he was working as a performing waiter. He's not the performer na mapapanganga ka. He's just like the majority of the people, marunong lang pero hindi magaling. But I saw his love, the spirit and passion sa ginagawa niya. So I spoke with the kid and found out that he was an orphan and he was living alone. He admitted na nahihirapan siya to pay the rent so I offered him a free shelter and food as long as he's coming with me with HTS. I briefed him about the competition and bingo! I got him in the team."

"One of the kids I have is Ace, stage name is Uno, another vocalist. I got him from the re-audition where he auditioned as a singer and he placed the last sa overall performance. His family is mostly focused on church services and his family hate the idea of him getting into the competition kasi baka malimutan niya ang mga responsibilidad niya. But as what we can see, he was able to manage church and trainings."

"Another kid that came from the re-audition was Xenon who auditioned as a singer. He didn't know how to dance but he placed 8th sa overall performance because of his voice and that's why I assigned him as a main vocalist. He taught his colleagues some techniques he knows, some music theory."

"The last kid I got from the re-audition was Simon, stage named Bullet. Simon knows how to sing and dance as well and placed 1st on the overall. Back then, two lower society members were stripped off so he was supposed to go up and be part of the original Low 25 pero he decided to stay with my team."

"The last member I got was Jayda, stage named Raffy. Now this is quite a story. She is a daughter of one of my closest friends sa HTS1. Ever since she was kid, I was already watching her so I already decided, she is someone I'll have in my future team. But things weren't easy because her mom won't allow her to compete. It took us a very long time to get her."

"She's already a couple of weeks later than the boys na late na rin compare sa iba. Now, during the training, we discovered how gifted this kid is. Malawak ang kanyang vocal range, may flow ang pagra-rap niya. Funny thing is, mukhang mas magaling pa siya mag-rap kaysa kumanta ngayon haha. She learns choreography so fast. She plays a lot of instruments and make her own songs. She was actually a big help in arranging music. And above all, kahit may pagkasutil siya, she is someone that will make her team stick together."

"Kami ang huling grupong nabuo sa HTS. Noong nabuo kami, hindi kami sumabak agad sa competition. I borrowed 6 months sa Shakers Committee just so I can train them... So I can help them uncover talents na kahit sila hindi nila alam. 6 months in training, we started with the deliberation. Lower Society was so hard to get into. Mahirap pasukin ang bawat society."
