20th Birthday. “I’m sorry" from mother.
Born May 9th 1993 at 11.13pm, as the middle son of the
Yamada family. Given the name “Ryosuke", the young boy being brought up by
loving parents, grew up to be a kindhearted young man who treasures his family
more than anything else.
···
My dad has spent so much time with us, that I wonder if
there’s another father who spends this much time with his children. We weren’t
rich, but when me and my sisters were born, we got things like yearly passes
for the amusement park, and he took us there hundreds of times. Once, when my
dad was working as a train conductor, when I heard the announcement “The next
station is—" with my dad’s voice, I went all the way to the last car to
see him. Totally different from the dad spending time with me on his days off,
the working dad looked somehow really cool.
(And this part is my fav part xD )
My mom is a person who lives for the family, so much that
she won’t even buy things she would want for herself. Although sometimes she
talks about a dream of going to Bali and visit an Asian shop that she loves.
Mom has never been on an airplane or shinkansen. That’s why, she didn’t even
know that there’s an aisle between the train seats, and when told about it she
just replied that “Well no-one wouldn’t get pass so you couldn’t sit!"
(laugh) One day I want to ride a shinkansen together with her, and also take
her to Bali.
My older sister is stubborn and short-tempered. Sometimes
she makes fun of me and uses bad language, but actually she really takes me
into consideration. Around a year ago when she was having dinner with a lot of
friends, suddenly they started talking about me. They didn’t know that I was
her brother, and when they started badmouthing me, suddenly she got angry and
yelled: “He’s not like that!" When I heard this from my mom, I was happy
that she protects her little brother so much I didn’t even know.
Lastly, my younger sister. On magazine interviews I often
talk about her, or when I go overseas for work I never fail to buy her
souvenirs, I’ve been called to have a sister complex (laugh). That’s how cute
she is. She always supports me, and when we’re talking by mail, lastly she
always says “Do your best with work!" If my performance hasn’t been good,
she directly says it. I’m like the mood-maker of the family, so when I’m doing
work far away and I’m not at home, she misses me. I’m always carrying an old
picture of us three siblings in my wallet. When I look at it, I think that I
have to do my best for my family.
On the night of my 20th birthday, I got a present from my
family. A picture book about how it’s important to live being yourself. When
turning the pages until the end, there were messages written by my family. From
my younger sister: “Ryosuke is an older brother I’m really proud of", from
my older sister: “Thank you for supporting our family", and from mom: “I’m
happy that you grew up so wonderful. I’m sorry for making you go through hard
times". I got into the entertainment world because of my mom, so when I’m
having a hard time with work, she blames herself and keeps apologizing time
after time. However, I’m thankful for what I’ve encountered doing this work.
That’s why I can be a loyal son by continuing this job. Mom lead me here, and I
want to go on and repay it to her.
If there is a God, what would I wish for? I don’t like the
thought of relying on God only when you’re troubled. But this is something that
I wish everyday. I wish all the best for my family, the most wonderful family
in the world,

"All the best for my family." -Ryosuke
