Ryuchell wrote on Instagram:

To all of you who always support me.

I would like to tell you about our family.

Eight years ago, I met pico, and I fell in love with her.
It was the first time in my life that I fell in love with a woman.

She gave me confidence and taught me how to be happy as a man.
As we get to know each other, we had so much fun, we can lift each other up, and we can overcome the hard times.
I never thought I would be able to build such a relationship, such love, with a woman. I chose the path of getting married and becoming a couple because I wanted to be together with her for the rest of my life, and that love took shape, and my beloved son was born. Being the father of an irreplaceable son. To be a reliable husband. Being an entertainer called ryuchell. In order to protect those extremely happy days, I was determined to live like that, even if I had to hide myself. In the midst of this, as opportunities to talk about my life up until now and my way of life as a “husband” in the media have increased, there is a gap between “my true self” and “ryuchell, who hides my true self”. But little by little, a ditch was formed. I’ve been calling out to everyone for a variety of ways of life, but I actually felt strongly about myself that I had to live like a “husband”. To be a “husband”, you have to be a genuine “man”.

Being a father makes me feel proud from the bottom of my heart.

Of course, it’s a path that I’ve decided on, no matter how hard it may be. Every day I was alone with the pain of not being able to tell my true self. There were moments when I thought it would be hard to live even though I have such a loving family.

I felt that if I continued like this, I would be really useless and I would not be able to protect my family that I wanted to protect the most.

I was really scared to confess, and I was filled with apologetic feelings. I couldn’t imagine what peco would say.

But peco cried and hugged me, saying, “It’s been tough up until now.”

That deep love brought tears to my eyes, and no matter what kind of person I was, peco understood and cared for me more than I thought.
I myself chose the form of “husband and wife” with full preparedness, and also with the leverage, you chose the path of dedicating your life to me, but
because of my weakness, as a husband, as a man, as a leverage that I couldn’t protect.

I’m so sorry that no matter how much I say it, it’s not enough, but as a family and as a dad, I strongly wanted to protect this happiness no matter what.

After that, the two of us will talk about the future, and from now on, let’s spend our lives as a family, not as husband and wife, but as life partners and parents of our precious son. It has become a form.

Of course, I will continue to live with my family as usual. 👨‍👩‍👦First of all, I am sure that I have surprised everyone who has read this far.

As I just told you, there was a part I was hiding. To those who believed in me and supported me, I am truly sorry.

In addition, as the representative director of Higa Kikaku, I would like to apologize to everyone involved for causing a great deal of trouble.

And lastly, it’s presumptuous to ask you to believe me, but what I want to convey is that the thoughts I’ve given to the media so far, my thoughts on my way of life, and my love for levers, are lies. There was nothing.

From now on, I want to love my new family with my true self, which I have been able to accept through what I have been able to confide in. And from now on, I will do my best to cherish my true self so that ryuchell can be a presence that everyone can support.
