Japanese celebrities have taken to social media to share heartwarming moments with their daughters, capturing the joys of fatherhood and the precious time spent with family.
One notable announcement came from the beloved singer and actor Lee Seung-gi, who recently posted photos of his daughter alongside his visit to the Seoul National Children's Hospital. Accompanying the images, he expressed, "I hope all children around the world are healthy and happy" as his heartfelt wish for the welfare of children everywhere. This compassionate sentiment was shared with his followers on social media, illustrating not only his dedication as a father but also his commitment to philanthropy. Last year, Lee Seung-gi made headlines by donating 2 billion won (approximately $1.5 million) to the hospital, reinforcing his role as both a public figure and caring parent.
The photos showcase him gently holding his daughter, highlighting his endearing role as father. Fans of the singer flooded social media with comments praising the little girl’s cuteness and expressing well wishes for Lee Seung-gi, including sentiments like, "She’s such a little princess!" and "Stay healthy and happy, Seung-gi!" Their reactions reflect the intimate connection they feel with celebrities when they share personal glimpses of their lives.
Meanwhile, actor Maruyama Tomoki shared delightful moments from his recent outing with his 15-year-old daughter. Posting on his Instagram, he detailed their "Odaiba date," expressing joy at the stunning views of Tokyo from the water. He humorously noted on his social media, "I couldn’t believe there was a closure day for Rainbow Bridge," indicating the occasional hiccup during their outing. The father-daughter duo’s day out was met with warm admiration from fans, who complimented Tomoki’s parenting style, stating, "A wonderful dad, the boyfriend must be nervous!" and "What an attractive father!" His lighthearted interactions with the audience have also contributed to the affectionate image he has with fans.
Adding to the trend, Takashi Ishibashi, famed member of the comedy duo Tunnels, brought humor to his interactions on the show 'Ishibashi Takashi THE Tsuun Master 2024,' which aired on December 18. This episode featured comedian Eita, who shared his excitement about attending the Tunnels live concert, remarking, "It’s been so long since the last one!" This enthusiasm caught attention even within Ishibashi’s family - he amusingly revealed, "I heard from my daughter, 'Eita is so loud'!" The light-hearted moment not only emphasizes the familial connections shared among celebrities but also the relatable experiences they embody as regular parents.
