[Translation] Yamapi Often Googles Himself
“I Often Ego Search” What is Yamashita Tomohisa Looking at Online?
2017/09/22
Yamashita Tomohisa, also known as Johnny’s Yamapi, appeared in the September 18th airing of “Nep League” (Fuji TV), and revealed that he ego searches. To the question, “What do you call looking up ratings of yourself on the internet?”, Yamashita answered, “ego searching.” When asked, “Have you ever ego searched yourself before?”, he answered, “I often do.”
“Ego searching is using your own name and looking it up. In order to be able to know true opinions, there are many people that ego search. However, because you will also come across haters that spew abusive language, it is necessary to be prepared. Among manga artists, it is said that when they ego search, it is mentally damaging and they become unable to draw.” (writer of a weekly magazine)
We are curious about what Yamashita saw in his ego search, but by typing “Yamashita Tomohisa” in the search box of a major search engine, depending on the suggestions, you can guess to some extent. The words suggested on Google, Yahoo, and Bing are a pattern of “Yamashita Tomohisa Ishihara Satomi,” “Yamashita Tomohisa marriage,” “Yamashita Tomohisa younger sister.” As expected, [the results] are only combinations, but just one curious word came up. That is “Yamashita Tomohisa height.” Because suspicions have arisen that Yamapi has been disguising his height for a long time, there are probably many people who are searching these two characters (身長), but if [Yamapi] found out this fact, he may receive a shock.” (previously mentioned weekly magazine writer)
Even though the final episode of “Code Blue ~Emergency Lifesaving Dr. Heli~ THE THIRD SEASON”
is approaching with a favorable reputation, the observations of comparisons to Aragaki Yui who is close to 170cm were collecting. I want Yamapi to continue his activities without him being disheartened by the voice of the internet.
