The 51-year-old Taiwanese-Japanese mixed-race idol Takeshi Kaneshiro has not released any new film or television works for nearly 7 years and has almost disappeared from public view. Recently, Japanese media reported that he is considering selling his luxury home for 200 million yen (about MYR 5.69 million) to accommodate his aging parents. Before debuting, Takeshi Kaneshiro was a protégé of Bobby Chen, who recently attended the 30th New Year's Eve concert "Big Wave" press conference. When asked about Takeshi Kaneshiro's current situation, Chen exclaimed, "How would I know? I heard he is farming now."

Bobby Chen stated that he doesn't often take the initiative to contact Takeshi Kaneshiro, but Takeshi communicates more frequently with Huang Lianyuk. He mentioned that the company has been at the same place for 30 years, so it's always possible to contact him, and added, "He has returned to what he originally liked, farming, growing flowers, and plants."
Bobby Chen has released over 40 works since his debut and suddenly expressed to the media that he wants to win the Nobel Prize for Literature. He was surprised that Korean female writer Han Kang won the Nobel Prize for Literature and said, "I didn't think much of Korean literature before. It seemed like there wasn't much substance, very different from Japanese literature. In terms of Chinese literature, it should have won many times already. This also proves globalization, Westerners are beginning to understand Eastern literature. So, I told the world 'I want to win the Nobel Prize for Literature.'"
In fact, last month, Japanese media revealed that Takeshi Kaneshiro had built a three-story luxury house in Okinawa, where he frequently stays with his family in Japan for several years. The luxurious house is very famous in the area, and everyone knows it as 'Takeshi Kaneshiro's home.'
Recently, it was reported that Takeshi Kaneshiro plans to sell this luxurious house, hoping for a sale price of about 200 million yen (about MYR 5.69 million). However, his management company refuted this claim, "We haven't heard of such a thing, and nobody has verified this with our colleagues in Japan. As far as we know, the place where his family stayed in Okinawa was rented, not his house, and they moved out long ago. The sale of this house has nothing to do with him or his family."
