Introduction to Tamamori Yuta’s Unique Habit
On September 26, Kis-My-Ft2 member Tamamori Yuta surprised the audience during his appearance on TBS’s “Sakurai Ariyoshi The Yakai 90-Bun SP”. He shared an unusual and shocking habit that had viewers and studio members alike captivated. This habit began when Tamamori sought a way to unwind and spend time alone.
The Midnight Taxi Ride
After wrapping up filming for a drama, Tamamori disclosed that he frequently tells taxi drivers to take him “anywhere for 3,000 yen.” This peculiar request happens mostly in the dead of night. He stated, “basically, I don’t really want to meet other people. I really don’t want to interact with anyone…” Engaging in this ritual around five times a week, Tamamori aims to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
Exploring the Dark: The Rules of His ‘Midnight Walks’
During the episode, Tamamori shared the guidelines for his mysterious “midnight walks”. He prefers to roam in dimly lit, quiet areas, avoiding places filled with lights or other people. His exploration took him on a journey where he proclaimed that he could not return home until he discovered an enticing narrow, dark path. This drive to find solitude in the shadows is something he passionately embraces, as reflected in his words: “I want to eventually walk a path that is impassable. I lie down and sink, sink into the darkness.” Eventually, after about an hour and a half of wandering, he found a path he cherished and expressed joy, a moment that startled those watching, leaving them exclaiming, “this is scary.”
