エンタメ｜橋幸夫、認知症公表後の初ステージ / Entertainment | Yukio Hashi’s First Stage Performance After Announcing His Dementia Diagnosis

Summary

Singer Yukio Hashi performed on stage for the first time since publicly announcing his dementia at the Odawara Minami Maru Hall in Kanagawa. He asked the audience, “Do you know my name?” and continued to sing the lyrics with confidence. The audience responded with warm applause, moved by his courageous presence. Hashi was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s-type dementia in December of last year, and this performance was a response to that announcement.

Admin’s Note

After Mr. Yukio Hashi publicly disclosed his dementia, his performance on stage was likely very moving for many people. His approach of engaging with the audience provided a valuable opportunity to promote understanding of the topic of dementia. In particular, the warm response from the audience must have been a great source of encouragement for him. I hope that such courageous actions will continue to reduce the stigma surrounding dementia and inspire discussions about the need for support.
