In order to show you how much I’ve grown, I’m going to work as hard as I can. I’m going to work hard in order for all of you to want to support my new dreams and path in life, even if it’s just a little. I’m sorry for surprising you all due to my own selfish reasons. They also said, “Let’s all work hard in the different paths we’re taking.” I only have gratefulness and love towards Hey! Say! JUMP.įor the fans, who have waited until today to see me come back and to see us work as a group of 9 again, I’m really sorry. I told everyone about my new decision, and they all supported life. While I was with them, I started really thinking about my own life: how I plan on going through life from now on, and how as an individual, in order to achieve my dreams, I thought that from now on I’d like to work as an actor.Ī little while ago, I met with and had a discussion about this. All of us have this dream of working on the world stage. These past two years, I’ve been studying acting overseas and living alongside actors from around the world. To the fans who are always supporting us, I, Okamoto Keito, have decided to leave Hey! Say! JUMP and work on my own as an actor. Yabu: Keito has an announcement for everyone. Linking back to this post is okay but please let me know in the comments.


It's really bittersweet, but if this is something Keito really wants to do then I'll support his endeavours and wish him the best. Quickly translated the fc video HSJ posted today regarding Keito leaving HSJ to work as an actor on his own.
