Tonight, May 26th 2016 is the awarding ceremony of Japan Movie Critics Award. Hey! Say! JUMP’s Yamada Ryosuke took home the award for Rookie Actor of the Year for his portrayal as Semi in Grasshopper movie (2015).

The news about him taking the lead as Edward Elric in the upcoming Fullmetal Alchemist live action movie is still warm in everyone’s ears, and thanks to that and this award, Yamada Ryosuke’s name is on the headline on various news and report of this awarding ceremony.

JMCA Jury’s comment:

“Yamada Ryosuke’s idol aura was completely washed away with a blood-thirsty aura of a killer. He’s a true actor that we are expecting to see more in the big screen. This year he’s starring in Assassination Classroom, next year he will star in Fullmetal Alchemist. We’re looking forward to it (FMA). Please appear more in movies. Congratulations!”

Ryosuke Yamada’s comment during his acceptance speech:

“This work is my movie debut. Semi, a young assassin, is a role that I’ve never done before, but in my first film I have to deliver this role. Of course there’s doubt and anxiety in me. That’s why achieving this award is an honour for me. There’s a duel scene between (Tadanobu) Asano-san and me. Aftebathing in blood, I was cleaning myself when Asano-san said, "You’d better appear more in movies. I want you to appear in a lot of work.” From now on, I will do my best to participate in more movies. Thank you very much.“

Tadanobu Asano, Yamada Ryosuke’s co-star in Grasshopper, took home the Best Actor award that night for his work in Journey to the Shore film (2015) .

During his acceptance speech, he responded to Yamada’s speech.

"Thank you for Yamada-kun. Please take care of me from now on too.”

That concludes Tadanobu Asano’s support for Yamada Ryosuke’s movie career.

There has been so many negative comments on Yamada taking the lead in the upcoming Fullmetal Alchemist live action movie. Sometimes it’s just sad that most of the hate may come from him being an idol and the stereotypes of Johnny’s idols that seems to be a stigma among most people. But tonight, Yamada Ryosuke might have proven them wrong. For those who keeps doubting his acting, please consider that the movie critics & an award winning senior actor, Tadanobu Asano, have acknowledged his ability.

All I can say is please Yamada , prove people wrong when the live action of Fullmetal Alchemist hits cinemas next year because when this news was announced , the amount of negative remarks that flooded the internet was and is still madness in a not very good way
