Now, I have other friends. Even though they are different from childhood friends, I think our lifestyles have a lot more in common. I see yasu (Acid Black Cherry), DAIGO (BREAKERZ), and also Yuya Tegoshi (NEWS) . If I want to go out for a drink, I contact them first. Now that everyone is famous, their schedules are often full, but still come (laughs) if they are in the same area as me. They always spend time with me, without a second thought. I can relax when I am with them. If I were to call out someone who didn't like me, going to a foreign place, they would be hesitant. Perhaps it's me they are hesitant about (laughs).
