"July 26th, 2023 was a big day for me.

I finally gathered the courage to come out to the public as a gay man.

I am grateful to have received media coverage from multiple platforms both within Japan and overseas.

To be honest, I was extremely anxious before all of this happened. However, I've been pleasantly surprised to discover the overwhelming amount of positive feedback pouring in from both my fans and people who have come across the news about me. It's heartwarming to see that my story is being acknowledged from all around the world, and this brings me immense joy.

Although they may be baby steps, I sense that this world is gradually moving into the light.

Yesterday, I made an announcement about resuming my career as an artist. I also released a new song titled “Into The Light”. The music video for the song is also on YouTube now. This song is packed with the emotions and thoughts leading up to this point, including my decision to come out.

Living with anxieties and struggles is not limited to just LGBTQ+ individuals. I hope this song can be a source of encouragement for anyone carrying such emotions. I've aimed for it to become a song that can uplift those with similar feelings. The Japanese lyrics are available in a lyric video on YouTube, so please take a look at that too.

A portion of the proceeds will be donated to Pride House Tokyo, Japan’s first permanent LGBTQ+ center, and ReBit, an organization providing resources and support for LGBTQ+ youth.

I hope this song will touch many hearts.🙏🌈"

"Dear Fans,

Thank you everyone for your support! I think I surprised you all with my announcement and looking back on it I believe it was the right choice to make.

I’ve grown stronger by coming out to my family, close friends, staff, and fellow members. Additionally, I feel that my bond with my fans has deepened.

Reading everyone’s supportive comments and DM’s has brought me so much joy.

I’ve received a lot of positive feedback from all over the world and I’m surprised by everyone’s reactions. Many people say that I'm brave, but without all the love and support my fans have shown me throughout the years, I would have never been able to build up the courage to come out publicly. I will never forget the applause and words of encouragement during my coming out speech; it brought me to tears.

This experience has made me love you all even more and all I wish is for my fans to be happy. 😭

Let's laugh together, cry together and have a fun life together!

I love you all soooooo much❤️

Shinjiro's instagram:

"To all my fans, today was a very special day for me. For years, I struggled to accept a part of myself…But now, after all I have been through, I finally have the courage to open up to you about something. I am a gay man.

It has taken me a long time to be able to say I am gay. I could not even say it to myself. However, I’ve come to realize it is better, both for me, and for the people I care about, including my fans, to live life authentically than to live a life never accepting who I truly am. I hope people who are struggling with the same feeling will find courage and know they are not alone.

I held this event today because I wanted to tell as many of you as possible directly. For those unable to attend I will be posting my full speech on my website tomorrow so you can hear the news in my own words. The link is in my bio (English subtitles available).

When I think of my work in the entertainment industry and the many things for which I am grateful, it is my relationship with my fans that first comes to mind. I thank you guys from the bottom of my heart for standing beside me over the years. I’d also like to thank my family, friends, staff members and my fellow AAA members for providing me their full support throughout this process.

SHINJIRO"
