He dropped out of Pittsburgh University later, but continued his dreams of acting.
Debut
In the late 1980's he released two record singles that marked the beginning of his career, though they didn't sell well.
In 1989 he appeared in the television drama Mama Haha Boogie, from which point he started to gain popularity as an actor, bringing attention to his singing aspirations.
In 1991 he appeared in Tokyo Love Story and was finally written up as a star.
