<h3> Please stop thinking like that.&#8221;</h3>
<p> Ryosuke Yamada (32) of &#8220;Hey! Say! JUMP&#8221; updated his blog on his member site on April 22. Yamada expressed his feelings in his own words about the uproar among some fans that he might have a girlfriend.</p>
<p> Yamada uploaded the blog at 3:00 p.m. on April 22. Without even greeting her, she began her blog by saying, &#8220;I don&#8217;t like it when people are upset just because I say I have a dog, so let me tell you about it.</p>
<p> He explained that since his parents&#8217; house is close by, &#8220;the whole family welcomed him in&#8221; and that when Yamada is busy, his family takes care of his dog. He said, &#8220;Please don&#8217;t think that a dog living alone = or something like that. She asked her fans to understand and to stop making &#8220;speculations and guesses&#8221; about her dog.</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> The story began with Yamada&#8217;s serial &#8220;The Sound of Crimson -Think Note-&#8221; that appeared in the June &#8217;26 issue of the magazine &#8220;Myojo&#8221; (published by Shueisha), which went on sale on the same day. In the article, Yamada confessed that the standby screen of his smartphone was a picture of his dog, and he recalled that he had mentioned in this serial about two years ago that &#8220;a new family member had joined our family. He added that the &#8220;new family&#8221; was actually his dog, whom he welcomed at that time.</span></p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> Then, some fans on SNS said, &#8220;If Ryosuke Yamada has a dog, it means he has a girlfriend,&#8221; &#8220;Basically, anyone who has a dog has a girlfriend! If he hid the fact that he had a dog, it means that he has a girlfriend.</span></p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p> There seems to be a reason behind fans&#8217; suspicion that an idol who lives alone has a dog = has a girlfriend. This is because Seiya Suezawa of the &#8220;Ae! group, who also belongs to STARTO ENTERTAINMENT, made a frank remark on a variety show he appeared on in February 2013, saying, &#8220;I can&#8217;t say this out loud,&#8221; before adding, &#8220;Do any celebrities who live alone and have a dog have a girlfriend? He continued, &#8220;Doggies are not so easy to get along with.</p>
<p> He continued, &#8220;Doggies are definitely lonely people. If you raise a dog by yourself, you have to be away from home a lot. If you raise a dog by yourself, you have to be away from home a lot,&#8221; he said, which became a topic of conversation among STARTO fans.</p>
<div data-friday-nextpage-lead=" WEST. Kiriyama, Kamiyama, and others... Why are fans so worried?"></div>
<h3>I. I can&#8217;t keep quiet.</h3>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> For example, Tomohiro Kamiyama (32) of &#8220;WEST.&#8221; has long publicly stated that he owns a dog. For example, Tomohiro Kamiyama (32) of &#8220;WEST.&#8221; had long publicly stated that he owned a dog. When he announced his marriage to a common woman in October 2013, his comment attracted attention again as &#8220;Suezawa is right on the mark. Terushi Kiriyama (36) of &#8220;WEST.&#8221; is also a dog lover who owns a French bulldog, but there was a precedent in his marriage to former volleyball player Maiko Kano (37) in January of the same year. Because of this, fans who support idols from the same agency are wary that &#8220;people who own dogs may have lovers.</span></p>
<p> Yamada&#8217;s openness about the existence of her dog in the serialization may have upset some fans. Yamada immediately denied it on the day of the magazine&#8217;s release, but fans who read his blog commented, &#8220;Yamada Ryosuke is really amazing,</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p> Yamada Ryosuke is really great. Whenever there is even the slightest bit of speculation, he immediately corrects it on his blog. He is a true idol. <br>
He&#8217;s an idol who says things straightforwardly, without any back-and-forth. That&#8217;s what I&#8217;m talking about. <br>
I appreciate that Yamada-san is so quick to deny speculation. I love it. <br>
Yamada-san explained about the dog on his blog!　He&#8217;s so quick to avoid risk!　But now I can support him without any worries.</p>
<p> I&#8217;m so glad to hear that,&#8221; said one of the fans.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> In the past, when strange rumors have circulated, Yamada has written a blog on a member&#8217;s site to dispel the suspicions himself. In 2005, when a general woman was talking about Yamada&#8217;s relationship with &#8230;&#8230; on SNS, she wrote on her blog, &#8216;Don&#8217;t get swept up in nonsense, lol&#8217; and &#8216;Speculation, lies. In the same year, she was the first female to be featured in a Korean boy group, B.B.C., and in 2006, she was featured in a Korean boy group, B.B.C. In 2006, referring to an Internet sighting that she was at a fan meeting of the South Korean boy group BTS (Bulletproof Youth Team), she honestly reported, &#8220;I was at home watching DVDs at that time. I was watching DVDs at home during that time,&#8217; she reported honestly.</span></p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p> In February of this year, during an interview on the information program &#8220;Nonstop! (Fuji Television Network) in February this year, Yamada was asked if she had anything she wanted to say to her fans. If there are any misunderstandings, I&#8217;ll tell them. I&#8217;m doing a lot of things on SNS right now. I&#8217;ll use those tools. I will tell you. I can&#8217;t keep quiet.</p>
<p> Many fans may be attracted to Yamada&#8217;s straightforward personality.</p>
