Career

Yamada began his career after entering Johnny and Associates at the age of 10. His mother, who was a fan of KinKi Kids, sent an application for an audition which recruited trainees for future male idols.

The audition took place during the summer of 2004 and was aired in a segment of a Japanese television program, Ya-Ya-yah. Yamada made his first television appearance in August.

He began working as a backup dancer for Tackey & Tsubasa, NEWS, Kanjani8, and KAT-TUN and appeared regularly on The Shounen Club from autumn 2004.

For the first two years, he struggled to stand out among the other trainees. He was often positioned at the back row, with over fifty other backup dancers in front of him. In 2005, trainees who auditioned with him furthered their success, positioned in the front row and selected to be one of the members of J.J.Express, a boy band consisting nine members. Yamada says he was devastated after hearing he wasn’t chosen as a member and thought of leaving Johnny & Associates. With encouragement from his mother and other trainees, he decided to stay.

In fall 2005, Yamada was selected to be one of the main backup dancers for a temporary two-man group, Shuji and Akira. This was the first time for him to dance in the front row, making this a turning point for him in his career. His performance led him to be one of the main dancers among the trainees for the next two years, until he made his debut in 2007.
