Yasuda entered Johnny & Associates in 1997 together with fellow members Ryo Nishikido and Tadayoshi Kura. Also at the audition was Ryhei Maruyama. As a result, these members have been close friends for a long time during their Kansai Jr days even before Kanjani8 was formed. Yasuda's application had been sent in by his older sister. In it, she had written that Yasuda's specialty was that he could "do anything" (nan demo dekiru).

In 1999, Yasuda was chosen to be a guitarist for V.WEST. The Kansai Jr band was popular among Jr fans and had its own show Shuukan V.WEST (Weekly V.WEST) on Kansai TV.

During this time, true to his sister's claim, Yasuda excelled and first earned his nickname "Nandemo dekiru-ko" (The kid that can do anything). After V.WEST's first live at Zepp Osaka in 2001, Yasuda and fellow remaining members, Hiroki Uchi (vocalist) and Ryhei Maruyama (bassist) were absorbed to form a new Kansai Jr unit Kanjani8 in 2002.

On February 4, 2024 it was officially announced that Kanjani8 has changed their group name to SUPER EIGHT.
