Suzuki was announced to play this series' version of Ultraman Taro last July 2020, and mentioned that he has read the original manga by Eiichi Shimizu and Tomohiro Shimoguchi. This isn't the only time he was involved in the ULTRAMAN anime as his band, OLDCODEX performed the show's theme song in both Netflix and the show's TV broadcast. His hiatus is likely because of his wife, the singer LiSA's recent hiatus announcement due to mental and physical fatigue, which is likely caused by Suzuki's alleged extramarital affair with a female associate.
