[Alert to fans] “Number_i” Shiyoh Hirano says meaningfully, “Don’t buy a desk or anything like that.

Anxieties about “lottery benefits

Number_i, a three-member group consisting of Shiyoh Hirano (29), Yuta Kishi (30), and Yuta Jinguji (28), held a live broadcast on their official Instagram page on February 4, announcing the release of their third single “3XL” on April 27. During the live-streaming, there was a scene in which member Hirano sounded a warning to fans.

The song “3XL,” produced by Hirano, was released for distribution on January 29, and will be released as a single CD on April 27, with pre-orders now being accepted at the TOBE OFFICIAL STORE.

This time, there is also a “Lottery Special Offer” version available only for fan club members, in which 3,333 winners will be chosen by lottery to win a leather jacket autographed by the Number_i members.

The three members of Number_i used to be members of “King & Prince” at the former Johnny’s office. When they reported on the campaign on their Instagram live on April 4, the comment section was abuzz with excitement.

During the live-streaming, they suggested that the autographs might change design depending on their mood at the time. However, in the course of such conversation, Hirano said, ‘I don’t want it to go out for sale in a strange way or something. Resale. Auctions and ……,'” he said, expressing his concern. He continued, “So, no. When Hirano said, “Please don’t buy the …… desks,” the two members followed up with, “I won’t say what it is,” (Jinguji) “Be careful,” and “It’s a reminder,” (Kishi),” according to an entertainment writer.

The background of Hirano’s statement, “Don’t buy desks and stuff,” is believed to be related to a certain store’s SNS.

Flight to ″Supporting Life

Hirano left the former Johnny’s on May 22, ’23. On July 7 of the same year, he announced that he was joining TOBE, an entertainment agency headed by Hideaki Takizawa (43), and opened a personal Instagram account. At the end of the same month, he posted a picture of a visit to a certain restaurant on his Instagram. Although he did not write the name of the restaurant, because of the distinctive color of the walls, this restaurant was immediately identified by fans and became a ″sacred place pilgrimage″ spot. Fans who had been waiting for Hirano’s return to the stage after his departure from KIMPRI must have been itching to do something related to him, even if it was just a little. The posts of fans who had been to the restaurant spread on social networking sites and attracted a lot of attention.

However, in January of this year, the store updated its Instagram page and announced that it would be closing at the end of the same month. Furthermore, it announced that it would give away items from the store using the Stories function.

The store was also using the Stories feature to announce that it was giving away items from its store. “We are waiting for your DM if you want them,” she said, while posting a picture of a painting, table, and other items from Hirano’s Instagram. In another Stories, he announced that he was inundated with inquiries and that he would tell the current highest price by DM because it would be in the form of an auction. Of course, we don’t know the true meaning of whether the store was trying to get ″Fan of Plainfield″ to pay a higher price to buy the item. However, Number_i’s fans were upset, saying, “I feel sorry for Shiyou-kun, as if he was taken advantage of without permission,” and “I wonder if they can prove whether this is the chair or desk that Shiyou-kun sat on.

Since this information had been spread via X (formerly Twitter) and other means, Hirano was probably aware of these disturbances, which is why he alerted the audience via live-streaming. In response to his words, there were voices of approval, “Well said! and “Well said!

The post about the restaurant was viewable at the time of the Instagram live broadcast, but it is no longer viewable. It appears that Hirano has deleted the photo that triggered the incident from his account.

We hope that Hirano’s earnest appeal has reached her fans.
