Everyone says: “I love you,” at least in Lille, where Japanese star Tomohisa Yamashita – in town to promote “Drops of God,” which premieres on Apple TV+ on April 21 – brought fans to tears. With one admitting that thanks to his 2005 series “Nobuta Wo Produce,” where he played the character of Akira, she decided not to commit suicide 14 years ago.
“You saved my life,” she said.
In between interacting with a clearly overwhelmed audience, Japanese singer, dancer, talk show host and actor discussed his multifaceted career, one that started when he was just 11 years old.

In 2004, he joined boy band News.
“The producers brought us together and said: ‘O.K, you will be in a band. It was so sudden.
