In October, Tomohisa Yamashita and Ryo Nishikido surprised everyone when they announced they would be leaving popular Japanese boy band NEWS. Since then, Yamashita hasn’t discussed his sudden departure. Until now.
A press conference was held 7th October in celebration of the first day of filming for the upcoming drama “Saikou no Jinsei no Owarikata~Ending Planner~”. During the press conference, Yamashita, who stars in the drama, discussed leaving the group for the first time.
According to the singer, he first began thinking about leaving NEWS during his solo Asia tour. As it became more difficult to balance his group and solo activities, he began discussing leaving NEWS with the group in June.
Because he wanted to become his own artist, he decided to leave the group. This allowed him to take a bigger role in his own career. While in the group, he had to worry about the group’s needs over his own; as a solo act, he had the freedom to do what he wanted and try new things.
Yamashita also talked about his future activities, revealing that he wanted to do more acting. He also promised to continue singing as a solo artist.
