Yamada Ryosuke is returning to the radio for a special broadcast of "Yamada Ryosuke's All Night Nippon Premium" on June 1st at 8:00 PM JST on Nippon Broadcasting.

The Hey! Say! JUMP member previously hosted the show as a regular program from November through March, then made a comeback special in late April. During that appearance, he expressed hope for another special episode in June—which is now happening.

The timing is significant: Yamada is gearing up for "Ryosuke Yamada DOME TOUR 2026 Are You Red.Y?," his first solo dome tour. The two-hour radio special will give fans a chance to hear him discuss his mindset heading into these massive shows. The tour kicks off June 27-28 at Kyocera Dome Osaka, followed by dates at Tokyo Dome on July 25-26.

This marks a substantial step in Yamada's solo career. While he debuted as a solo artist in 2013 with the single "Mystery Virgin," his work has increasingly focused on acting—he's appeared in films like the Assassination Classroom movie (which earned him a Japan Academy Prize for Best New Actor), Fullmetal Alchemist, and Bad Lands. His 2024 film Silent Love with Hamabe Minami continued his screen presence.

For Hey! Say! JUMP fans, Yamada's solo expansion represents the group's evolution. The eight-member group, which debuted in 2007, has seen various lineup changes over the years and has established itself across music and entertainment. Members regularly pursue individual projects alongside group activities.

The special broadcast offers listeners rare insight into Yamada's solo ambitions during a pivotal moment. For those interested in tuning in, the show airs June 1st from 8:00 to 10:00 PM on Nippon Broadcasting.
