Johnny’s announces Kis-My-Ft2 will make their CD debut this May

Kis-My-Ft2 will make their CD debut this May, it was revealed at their concert in Tokyo on February 12, reports Oricon.

The group has been signed to record company Avex, and embark on a national concert tour this summer which will also include performances of their upcoming debut single.

It has been reported their debut was kept a secret even to the members themselves until they received a letter during today’s concert. While the group were telling fans about their upcoming summer concert tour, a Johnny’s Jr. member handed over an envelope to them. Reading it, the group found out for the first time about their official debut and broke out in surprise and tears.

Kis-My-Ft2 is made up of Hiromitsu Kitayama (KI), Kento Senga (S), Toshiya Miyata (M), Wataru Yokoh (Y), Taisuke Fujigaya (F), Yuta Tamamori (T), and Takashi Nikaido (NI=2). Despite not having released any singles, the group already have a large number of followers, and had attracted close to 140,000 fans to their spring concert tour in 2010.

Since December 28 to today the group have been on tour. Group members Fujigaya and Kitayama are currently starring in TV drama “美咲ナンバーワン!! (Misaki Number One!!)”, and will also take part in the Pattaya International Music Festival in Thailand on March 18, while the other five members will be starring in Hideaki Takizawa’s upcoming stage show “滝沢歌舞伎 (Takizawa Kabuki)”.

ABOUT TIME MAN ! Next to debut must be A.B.C.Z but for now WHEEEEEEEEEE

I'm happy for Kisumai's long awaited debut but on the other hand , I'm worried on the way how avex's going to market them because they're now label mates with V6 and Tackey & Tsubasa

avex doesn't really market/promote the Johnny's well imo & I feel Kisumai should have been signed to J-One Records or JStorm as both labels's marketing/promotion tactics are much more better

but hopefully avex will prove me wrong on this & I'm very excited for Kisumai's CD debut

about time it happens !

Kis-My-Ft2 debut to be delayed, debut single also changed

Popular Johnny’s group Kis-My-Ft2′s commercial debut will be delayed until this summer, it was revealed on May 9, reports Daily Sports Online and NEWS24.

It has been reported the main reason was because of the Tohoku earthquake, which had prompted their debut to be delayed. On top of this, Johnny’s & Associates president Johnny Kitagawa had asked the group’s debut single to be changed into a more positive and uplifting song to suit Japan’s current situation.

Group members Hiromitsu Kitayama and Taisuke Fujigaya made the announcement to their fans during their stage show “みんなクリエに来てクリエ! 2011 (Minna Crea ni Kite-crea! 2011)” in Tokyo.

Although their debut has been delayed, the two have promised that it will only unleash a larger amount of power.

“If we’re going to to do it, we want it to be the best. Fujigaya and I were saying that we wanted to become champions,” said Kitayama while Fujigaya nodded in agreement.

A representative from the group’s record company Avex has said Kis-My-Ft2 are currently recording the song, which is about 90 per cent finished. They had also added the song has been written in a way to cheer people up and make them courageous.

As well as this, the group will go on a national tour this summer. It has been reported group member Yuta Tamamori came on stage as a guest holding a letter from Mr Kitagawa. In the same way the group found out about their debut, the three members opened the envelope to find a letter saying they would be embarking on a 6-city tour starting on July 9.

“We seem to find out about things at the same time as you guys (fans) eh,” Fujigaya said.

A debut event is also scheduled to take place closer to the time.
