My happiness. The origin of my smile. The 5 things I value most.
"I hope in ten years, I will still be able to chat happily with my friends."
Love
Love...it's pretty far from me right now. But it's not because I don't want to start a relationship......it's only that I enjoy work very much right now, so I probably can't spare energy for it. I'm the kind of person that concentrates on one thing, so I'll always throw myself completely into what I'm doing in the present. I really do want to balance work with my private life, but it's really hard. (Laugh) But, if someone's in a loving relationship, the person will probably change, no matter if the person is a girl or a boy. His or her expressions will become more lively. But, although love and relationships are very far from me right now, love itself is still pretty good.
The Future
During my senior year of high school, I acted in a stage play and decided "I just want to do this kind of job." I also wondered where my life will stray to. Although I worked hard and was happy, I still lacked confidence in my decision sometimes. Although I no longer feel this way, I still can't see my future. The day ten years from now is still blurry. No matter what though, I'd like to continue working hard at my job and drinking happily with my friends (laugh). How should I say...I hope I can be the type of person that can battle passionately for something. I still love the kind of person who works amazingly hard. Whether it's for academics, sports, work...anything is good. Amidst of these hard-working people, I also want to live life to the max.

"I got a bike"
At the celebration dinner for the conclusion of <<Honey and Clover>>, we played bingo, and I won a bike! I was very surprised~~~~. I still have to ride it? [He rode it in the drama] (Laugh) I'm very excited, very happy!
[End side note XD]
Smile
On the first day of filming for the Hanakimi SP, I had just finished filming another drama 3 days before, so I was a little nervous about my sudden change of personality. But, I soon began to smile. As I gathered again with everyone, in throng of smiles, the memory of last summer naturally resurfaced, and I naturally dove into my role. A smiling face will give someone energy, and it will fill yourself with life. I think this is very important.
Friends
Even if they're not by your side now, even if you had just argued yesterday, you will still spend every day with your friends during your student years, right? It's so great. My high school friends and I were extremely close, but I can't see them every day, so I sometimes feel nostalgic about my student era. Despite this, we'll still agree to meet up very often. (Laugh) To me, friends are the people who can help me recover into being my very best self. To be able to naturally recover from things I dislike, or exhaustion, etc...then to help me recover my energy...friends lead that sort of existence.
Family
In my family, I have my father, mother, brother, me, and a dog! My dog is the same type as the one being photographed today; it's also a tan toy poodle. When I go home, it'll welcome me, and it's very good at comforting me. (laugh) Our family's relationship is especially good. When I was young, we would often travel together. My dad's a really sporty; it's really great, and I sort of envy him. When I was young, I thought his back was very strong and wide. My mom is very gentle, but she's still really terrifying when she's angry. (Laugh) But, I sometimes think I've inherited her personality, which is neither strong nor weak. As for my brother, we sometimes go watch lives together, and when I invite him, we'd go watch stage plays. Compared to before, the time I spend with my family has decreased, but I still value my family very much.
