![]() I look at him with admiration and hope that I can live like him.įrom being thrown in the fashion spotlight with the Moncler Genius short film, and now being on Instagram, how do you feel about this connectivity? I never imagined that I would have the chance to work with such a legend and I’m extremely honored. It’s really great that when he was asked what he does for a living, he answered, “What indeed?” Speaking of Fujiwara-san, he played a huge role in building Tokyo’s fashion scene since I was a junior in high school. What was your impression after working with him?įujiwara-san stayed onsite and I got the impression that he is not restricted by anything and embodies that way of life at this moment. You appeared in the collection designed by Hiroshi Fujiwara. It was really a combination of fateful connections and a series of coincidences that led them to approach me about the project, a way in which the accumulation of our encounters over the past few years finally bloomed. Probably because of that, they seemed to remember me. After that, I got to know the press of the brand and when I was invited to their show in February last year, I met the person who organizes all of their advertising in France and my photo was posted on Moncler’s official Instagram. Originally, I have been a big fan of Moncler and have worn their outerwear for a long time now. Can you tell us how that project came about? You star in the “7 MONCLER FRAGMENT HIROSHI FUJIWARA” short film. We caught up with the famed Japan star while in Tokyo, getting a glimpse of a never-before-seen side of him, his thoughts on his project with Onitsuka Tiger, and his profound respect for fragment design founder Hiroshi Fujiwara. Recently, Yamashita has ventured into the world of fashion, having starred in Hiroshi Fujiwara‘s Moncler Genius short film, as well as collaborating with Onitsuka Tiger on his own full-white iteration of its RINKAN BOOT. Music aside, Yamashita transitioned seamlessly onto the small and big screens starring in Japanese blockbusters such as Proposal Daisakusen and the live action remake of Ashita no Joe, and strived in a declining drama industry, consistently getting leads in romance-tied roles. Shy at times, Yamashita fully accepted his position in the lime light after his breakthrough role in the television drama ‘Kurosagi’ in which he released one of his biggest tracks: “Daite Senorita,” that even today, remains as one of his most popular bodies of work the track alone sold over 800,000 copies. A man of many hats, many fans of JPOP will remember Yamashita’s early start in the group NEWS, followed by his solo career in 2006. ![]()
