This week, Yamada Ryosuke celebrated his 23rd birthday!
Uwah! I still can't believe that he's in his 20s now. Ryosuke will forever be my ichiban. And, I may have slipped out of fandom for quite a long time and have missed a lot of moments that Hey! Say! JUMP and Ryosuke himself has experienced with his fans, but from the few clips that I get to see every now and then it was enough for me to realize and understand that he has grown more mature as a person, especially as someone in his field.
As a fan and an individual, I am happy and proud of his achievements and of who he is right now. I'm glad to see that he is striving hard as always to do good in what he does and even more. To see him go on variety shows and face his weaknesses and fears gives me this rush and sense of awe and inspiration. He triggers my mind and heart to believe that I can also do things I'm not good at as long as I work at it and move forward. He has been and still is a great inspiration and motivation.
It may be too late now but I wish you happy birthday, Yamada Ryosuke! May you remain as the awesome person that you are and never forget about your health! I will always support you and the rest of the Hey! Say! JUMP members. Thank you for sharing us your life and making us a part of it!
