Yamashita Tomohisa, SNS is intriguing, "I don't have such confidence"
When asked what he wants to do for the second half of the year...
"I also want to put my strength in music activities. There were various things last year that I was not able to do a concert. But this year, I want to do it. I want to recover everything." He said with a stern face.
"The fans fill me with love at no cost and I'm truly grateful for that. I go through the fan letters, I also check SNS. Because I'm really curious, I check every now and then. (lol)"
But Yamashita-san is seen as someone who is confident with himself...
"Because I'm not a rockstar, I don't have such confidence. The one who shows that confidence to me are my fans. That's why I think I don't want to end my self-satisfaction. I want to constantly match the level of satisfaction between me and my fans."
Yamashita reached 30 years old last April. "No matter how old I become I'm an idol! Me, I always bother the fans so for them to stick with that kind of me, I really am grateful. And for the sake of those fans, I need to continue as an idol." is what like he says to himself in assent.
