[Interview] Yamada Ryosuke on his 1st Solo Release and Covering a Favorite Song of His Senior


1/11 — Yamada Ryosuke talks about the released of his 1st solo from his group, his challenging role for “Kindaichi Shounen no Jikenbo“, and currently doing “Johnny’s World“. Lastly, the Hey!Say!JUMP member talks about what he really feels about his solo work and his plans on continuing it.

— Your first solo single, “Mystery Virgin” has been released, tell us what you felt when you heard that you’ll be releasing a solo single?

Yamada: I was like, “No way!” (laughs). Until then, I have never thought about singing solo since I just usually sang in solo corner during live performances.

— Although [Mystery Virgin] will be used as the theme song for “Kindaichi Shounen no Jikenbo”, the beat is a bit slow and there are some dramatic dance moves. What was your impression when you first heard the song?

Y: Because I’m singing the theme song for Kindaichi, there were so many feels (laughs). The song’s atmosphere fits the drama well though it’s quite difficult to sing due to pressure.

— Putting emotions on each note (placing note in each lyrics) is already difficult as well singing alone…
Y: Though it was a love song, it was basically about the odiousness of love and I did not sing as much as the amount of emotions needed. I mean, in one way or another, you have to give or do something like…

— Like what?

Y: I think that some people only get to like me after watching a drama of mine. During live performances of Hey!Say!JUMP, I have to exude a bit of sexiness or manliness to make “Yamada Ryosuke” appeal to fans. But this time, I want people, who do not know me, to get interested at me with my singing and dancing. Though the music video is a bit strange, I want to them to think “what’s this?” or “what does it mean?” and to just imagine it, those kind of things.

— It was surprising because when I heard the song, I could only think that it was right for Yamada.
Y: That’s not like that at all (laughs). As with any music, I have to adapt, it’s not just a song; it’s also about work. We just don’t sing it or dance like that because we want to do it that way, we sought what is the best way to sing or dance [the song] . Like now, I’m also doing “Johnny’s World”, what does it mean? It means that I have to packed a lot of different emotions and think what moved the audience.

— Also, you covered KinKi KidsAi no Katamari?

Y: For the song, I wanted to sing it on my own way, so I asked Koichi-kun and Tsuyoshi (Domoto) if it’s okay for me to sing it… I know that the song is important for KinKi Kids and for their fans as well. I have listened to Fujigaya (Taisuke) and Kento (Nakajima) sang the song for Shonen Club; however, I want to sing it on my own, I want to give it my best one. When I was given the permission to sing, I sent a thank-you email to Koichi-kun. He said about singing Ryosuke’s “Ai no Katamari”, I was really glad. Then, he invited me for a drink but I said I’m only 20, and he was like, “E…?“. But since he went out into trouble of inviting me, that will be my one of my goals this year.

— You wrote the lyrics for “Gin no Sekai ni Negai wo Komete” (Wishes to the Silver World) right?
Y: I said that I will if there is a song called “Moonlight” for concerts. I wrote “Gin no Sekai” with words that won’t make your head ache and set my feelings straight.

— You’re also served as the leader for “Johnny’s World” and with Hey!Say!JUMP since your debut, is now your busiest?

Y: Not at all! It was much busier before when I have to go to rural areas to shoot, there are also concerts, and school that when I don’t have any sleep at all, I really think that I’ll die (laughs). Compared to those days, it is much easier now.

Johnny Kitagawa Achieves His 3rd Guinness World Record


On November 19th it was revealed that president of the agency, Mr. Johnny Kitagawa (81) has been certified with another Guinness World Record, this time as “Most Number of Singers who have achieved the No. 1 position Produced by an Individual “, making this his third Guinness World Record. In addition, one person who has contributed to this Guinness world record, KinKi Kids’ member, Domoto Koichi (33) announced today the production of “Endless SHOCK” (Tokyo Imperial Theater).

Mr. Johnny was watching over the meeting somewhere in the building when the good news was sent. Last year he was awarded with 2 other Guinness World Records; “Most Concerts Produced by an Individual (8,419)” and “Most No.1 Singles Produced by an Individual (232)”, followed by his third, “Most Number of Singers Produced by an Individual who have achieved the No. 1 position (35)”. It was revealed also that among those artist, Domoto Koichi is included to which he commented “I’m also happy for me then”.

The presentation of the certificate was decided in November 14th when a Chairman of Guinness World Records visited Japan. After watching the commemorative production “JOHNNY’S World” (Tokyo Imperial Theater), he handed over the certificate of approval some days later. Just recently, Johnny Kitagawa had stated he wanted to set 1 or 2 more Guinness World Record, all the more reason to feel modest and happy he added, “Keeping the #1 spot is a troublesome thing but as long as they want to keep making music and becoming number one then it’s a natural thing”.

On top of this happy announcement, there’s still the grieve over the death of Mori Mitsuko (92) who passed away just recently. “I was surprised to hear she passed away. I don’t want to remember. Like family, we were really close. Even now I feel like she’s here. I think we all feel that way”.

However, to overcome this grief, Mr Johnny has decided to aim for his 4th Guinness World Record, “Michael has more than 7, right? I think is important to set new records. While defending the 3 records we have, it’s important to always keep challenging new ones”. The challenge of this 81-year-old continues.
