On September 25, it was announced that actor Nakamura Yuichi (24), who was�previously�said to be in recovery , will terminate his contract with Watanabe Entertainment at the end of September.� A public post on the company�s website revealed, �Currently, he has recovered and would be able to make a comeback, but he has decided to pursue a path outside of entertainment, and we respect his wishes, so we will end on these terms.� We will support Nakamura Yuichi in his choices and we want to watch over him.�
After Nakamura won the �Daiikkai D-BOYS Audition (The First D-BOYS Audition)� in July 2004, he appeared in numerous dramas including �Gokusen� and �Kamen Rider Hibiki.�� He also starred in movies �Doukyuusei,� �Taiikukan Baby,� �Wangan Midnight THE MOVIE,� and was also active in theater.� In August 2010, he left the D-BOYS stage due to the worsening of chronic hip pains.� In November of last year, he withdrew from D-BOYS and D?DATE to seek medical attention.
In addition, upon learning about Nakamura�s retirement, D-BOYS and D?DATE member Seto Koji (24) expressed his state of mind on his blog with, �He has chosen to pursue a path outside of the entertainment industry by his own accord.� I have been supporting him and knowing how difficult it was for Yuichi, it is very regrettable.�� He followed with, �However, we will continue taking the paths in front of us.� I will support Yuichi in all of his decisions now and going forth, and although the situation will be different, I hope we both try our best wherever�we are.�
Igarashi Shunji (26) also spoke about Nakamura commenting, �We have spent 8 years together since the age of 17, that is an irreplaceable time in our lives. �We were always aware that we were friends, but rivals. It will never change that we are still friends and rivals even if we are in different situation."�He also thanked fans and requested, �From here on out, whenever you see Yuichi on the street, definitely smile at him.�
