Fumiya Sankai

This posed a problem for his growing fanbase. With the growing demand from Japanese subscribers, he established the Hiragana FumiShun Base (ふみしゅんべーす) YouTube Channel on April 13, 2020. This channel uses pure Japanese.

He also did a collaboration with Livertineage Japan. His designs were released for pre-orders on February 7, 2020.

Fumiya opened FumiShun Base Hamamatsu, his first business venture, on February 16, 2020. The establishment is a museum which exhibits Fumiya’s memoirs from his childhood, life as a vlogger, and his life in the Philippines. FumiShun Base merchandise are also being sold.

On the 29th of February, 2020, as an adherence to government policies for the prevention of the spread of the COVID19 pandemic, the museum was temporarily closed until further notice.

On April 2020, his first show as a host, Highway Harvest, became available through TFC Online.

On April 2018, his channel hit 100K subscribers awarding him with the YouTube Silver play button. On March 7, 2019, he hit the one million subscribers mark, awarding him with a gold play button.

Some notable vlogs were his song covers of Iñigo Pascual’s Dahil Sayo, Daniel Padilla’s Simpleng Tulad Mo, Juan Karlos’ Buwan, Maja Salvador’s Dahan Dahan, and Ex Battallion’s Hayaan Mo Sila which was featured in Rated K.

The main concept of the main FumiShun Base Channel’s content is his exploration of the Filipino culture. When he started being active as an actor, his content shifted to his daily life as a celebrity. The dynamics of the channel shifted and the original flavor was lost. To better categorize his content, he established Fumi on the 17th of May, 2020. On the 25th of May, a week after the launch, the channel has reached 10,000 subscribers.

Fumiya’s dream was to establish his very own clothing line. Most of his business ventures are aligned to this dream.

Fumiya opened the official shop for his YouTube channel on June 22, 2019. The shop features his original designs from when he started his channel. Items were sold out on the first week.

He has also appeared in several TV and digital programs under ABS-CBN such as Umagang Kay Ganda, It's Showtime and iWant’s Tawa Tawa Together. He has also guested in multiple episodes of ASAP, Magandang Buhay, Rated K, Minute to Win It, Gandang Gabi Vice, and Tonight with Boy Abunda. He was also the MYX' Celebrity VJ for December 2019.

He has also released several singles under Star Music. Stay With Me this Christmas was at the top spot of the charts on the Christmas week of 2019.

Fumiya held his first major concert (Fumiya Amazing ‘Di Ba?) at the Music Museum last November 15, 2019. His guests included the rest of Team LAYF, Jeremy Glinoga, MNL48, AC Bonifacio and Alex Gonzaga.

He has also released several singles under Universal Music Japan. Sige Sige Bahala Na peaked at #4 in iTunes Philippines (#1 under the JPop category) and #97 in iTunes Singapore when it was released (digital platforms) on August 28, 2019.

Fumiya had an operation in 2015 for a collapsed lung. In December 4, 2019, while he was in Japan, he experienced the same symptoms prompting him to visit a doctor the next day. He was diagnosed again with a collapsed lung. His right lung was smaller due to the air pressure caused by several holes on his lung.

On December 11, 2019, he underwent a surgery to remove the part of his lung with the said holes. The surgery was successful and he stayed in Japan to recover. He returned to the Philippines after 2 and half months of recovery.

Having observed their hotel guests, he realized that being able to speak English is important for his business plans. On the 28th day of April, 2017, he flew to the Philippines to study English.

He started uploading YouTube contents for Filipinos on the 31st of May 2017. His first video was a reaction video of Sarah Geronimo's Kilometro. From then on, he started gaining Filipino followers.

Fumiya established his YouTube channel, FumiShun Base, with his brother Shunya on December 2, 2015, but only posted their first video on September 6, 2016.
