Whoo! I cannot support this confession more than I already do. I often wonder the same thing, but also: Is it him that prefers not to show it or is it the staff/managers/photographers/etc who choose to cover it up and hide it from our greedy loving eyes?

It’s definitely not his decision. From the Pikanchi photobook, written by the director:

And then this time, there’s this last part I don’t know if I should write. It’s about Aiba’s birthmark. There’s a birthmark on Aiba’s left shoulder. Up till now, he rarely talked about it. Because the photobook required a few shots with his upper body naked, I noticed it. Since Aiba made no move to hide it, I naturally asked him about the birthmark. That’s why right now I want to write down what Aiba said. “This…has been here since I was small. What is this? I don’t really know either. But…I kind of like it a lot. Do you understand? I like it very much, Honestly, I always thought it’s alright if everyone saw it. But, it keeps getting edited out…This makes me angry. During filming, there’s times when it’s revealed. Like when I’m wearing swim trunks. During those times…only my left shoulder gets edited. Some kind of color would be covering it. This…makes me angry.” This was surprising. To hear something like this from Aiba, who’s always gentle, casual and happy. This is the moment when Aiba’s feelings touched me.
