Koichi Domoto introduces his pet dog to 15,000 fans

Koichi Domoto (31) from KinKi
Kids showed his affectionate side
as he hugged and talked about
his pet dog Pan-chan during his
“ BPM” Yokohama concert
yesterday, reports Sports Hochi
and Daily Sports.
During Monday’s concert, the
singer said he had a special
guest to introduce to
everyone, and his pet dog Pan,
a 21-month-old female
chihuahua, walked on stage.
But with 15,000 fans cheering in
front of her, it has been
reported that Pan began to
shake, to which a panicked
Koichi came running to her side,
scooping her into his arms and
apologizing to his dog for giving
her a fright.
Koichi said it had been his talent
agency boss Johnny Kitagawa ’s
idea to bring Pan on stage,
suggesting it would be nice to
show her her owner at work.
“I told Johnny-san that if I was
going to let her on stage, she
would need to be signed up to
the Johnny ’s agency. He cast
that idea aside but maybe I
push for it again, ” Koichi said.
Koichi is in the middle of first
solo tour in a year, which started
on September 11 in Okinawa.
Using some of the most
advanced lighting systems
available today, the singer
danced his way through 18
songs.
“On stage is the one place I can
be myself the most.
“Do I have a girlfriend? It’s quite
difficult to find one now…but I’m
happy,” he said.
The BPM tour continues until
November 14, after which Koichi
will perform in Kansai
Yamamoto ’s show, followed by
the release of his first book in
January titled “F1 – 僕が１人の
ファンになる時 (Boku ga hitori
no fan ni naru toki, The time I
become one of the fans )”, and
another season of his stage show
“ SHOCK” from February.
