Admin’s Note

Ichiro Yamaguchi’s attitude towards reverse questioning is quite interesting. Maintaining a good relationship with the media through a touch of humor is important for artists. Particularly, his statement of “nothing is going on” amidst the rumors of scandal seems to reflect his confidence. I’m looking forward to his future activities, and it would be great if this kind of attitude spreads to other artists as well.
