is it just me?

From Shounen Club Premium Special Stage Report featuring Yamashita Tomohisa and Ikuta Toma (Short But Sweet). Concert footage. This is not HQ, but it's nice fancam quality. The new higher quality vid is best viewed by downloading the MF link. I think a lot of the quality is lost in the youtube version.
ADDED: 1280x720 higher quality streaming and download video
There are two videos to view. The first video is TOMAPI only:

Today, where we were shooting, it has started to snow
It’s been so long since I’ve seen snow.

When I was still in elementary school, I used to try to catch the snowflakes in my palm and try to make out the different patterns with the naked eye.

I was so serious about that (laughs)

I used to be serious about so many things at that age.

Everything that I saw with my eyes or felt, I would seriously respond to.

Frankly however, now that I have gotten used to this job, I’ve become less serious about many things.

*Now, I'm only serious towards things that I really like.

*music, dancing, acting

*The more I'm sure about the things I like to do,
the more I'm ignorant towards things that I'm not interested in.

*Also, because I've experienced it before,
I do not feel touched at alot of things already.

However, today, as I was shooting in a town near Tokyo, there was a child wearing one of my concert T-shirts, as if he was saying “I’m wearing Yamapi’s T-shirt!”. He was smiling at me with a brilliant smile.

Thank you!

It made me really happy!>

I guess he must have gone to one of my concerts, and after watching him, I went on a sudden emotional high.

Even though I’ve experienced many things already and my emotions have become less intense, however I’ve realized that in places where I haven’t yet been, there are people who have been supporting me at the sidelines.

At the same time, after experiencing this, I ponder. Where do I stand?

And I still don’t really know.

However, that child that looked genuinely pleased to see me.
So that anyone who watches me from now on will just let out a smile, I want to give these people new touching or really great music and show them what I feel is the best.

I feel like this has been written really messily.
From now on, I’ll try everything!
