Today, where we were shooting, it has started to snow
It’s been so long since I’ve seen snow.
When I was still in elementary school, I used to try to catch the snowflakes in my palm and try to make out the different patterns with the naked eye.
I was so serious about that (laughs)
I used to be serious about so many things at that age.
Everything that I saw with my eyes or felt, I would seriously respond to.
Frankly however, now that I have gotten used to this job, I’ve become less serious about many things.
*Now, I'm only serious towards things that I really like.
*music, dancing, acting
*The more I'm sure about the things I like to do,
the more I'm ignorant towards things that I'm not interested in.
*Also, because I've experienced it before,
I do not feel touched at alot of things already.
However, today, as I was shooting in a town near Tokyo, there was a child wearing one of my concert T-shirts, as if he was saying “I’m wearing Yamapi’s T-shirt!”. He was smiling at me with a brilliant smile.
Thank you!
It made me really happy!>
I guess he must have gone to one of my concerts, and after watching him, I went on a sudden emotional high.
Even though I’ve experienced many things already and my emotions have become less intense, however I’ve realized that in places where I haven’t yet been, there are people who have been supporting me at the sidelines.
At the same time, after experiencing this, I ponder. Where do I stand?
And I still don’t really know.
However, that child that looked genuinely pleased to see me.
So that anyone who watches me from now on will just let out a smile, I want to give these people new touching or really great music and show them what I feel is the best.
I feel like this has been written really messily.
From now on, I’ll try everything!
