i have some doubts around that.
as much as i would like to believe it it's very VERY common for japanese companies to try and push the image that they're fans, too. cellphone charms that are technically your uniform, toys, gadgets, gizmos and other knickknacks that they enjoy are typically dispersed around them or on their person in an attempt to casually advertise products. i read a lot of japanese news and watch TV from there, it's basically a modus operandi at this point to make your job -- no matter what the job is -- your life's work.
from people who serve coffee and re-stock vending machines to people who sell bidets. you aren't just an employee at the cafe, you ARE the cafe. you ARE the coffee guy/girl. you ARE the bidet man. it feels just as hollow to the japanese as it does when, say, companies in america pretend they're excited for some new movie or tv show or an as seen on TV product (george foreman grill, etc). of course yoshi-p has proven time and time again that he's genuine, i would still take what he claims with a grain of salt.
in the end this is a corporation and corporations will do what they can for your cash, including pandering to their audience.
not saying don't believe him but also saying don't hold your breath. if square knew they could sell 10 million copies of ffxiv by having yoshi-p come out on stage and insist the irl moon was made of popotos, they'd have him live in a heartbeat doing just that.
