On September 27th, Arashi's Sakurai Sho held a screening party with 150 students for his movie, "Kamisama no Karute". The beloved star gave the group some helpful advice as they prepare to venture out into the world.
He said, "When you go out into the world, there will be times when everyone expects you to be independent."
"In my case, it's special. There are four others sharing the same destiny, so we support and help each other out. Thanks to them, I only feel one-fifth of the pain," he laughed.
Reflecting on his student days, Sakurai mused, "Before exams, my friends and I used to study at a family restaurant. But we spent most of our time talking. When I think about it now, those times were valuable." Sakurai proudly revealed that he managed to balance his studies while in the entertainment business, "Certainly, it was difficult, but it's because of my confidence that I could overcome those times; I am able to strain myself a little."
When job-hunting students asked, "When going out into the world, did you feel any anxiety?". Sakurai answered, "I've been with the agency since I was 13, but I had a vague uneasiness as I concluded my student life. It was as if I had taken off my training wheels, and wondered what would happen from there on out."
He then confessed, "Eventually, I wanted to be a newscaster, so back then, I thought about how I could reach that goal."
Sakurai then showcased his mature mentality by expressing, "Right now, I don't think about my remote future. I won't be able to see the future until I clear up my current work, problems, and tasks one-by-one."
Concluding his Q&A session with the students, Sakurai delivered a final message of encouragement. "It was �fun, but I don't know if I was able to answer everyone's questions... Times have become more difficult since I was a student, but please do your best."
