Kis-My-Ft2
Kis-My-Ft2 is a Japanese boy band consisting of seven members and developed by Johnny & Associates (Johnny's Jimusho). The band name is an acronym formed from the first letters of the surnames of the founding members ( K itayama, I ida, S enga, M iyata, Y oko, F ujigaya, T amamori, Ni kaido). The band name comes from an anecdote that Gregory Hines , American tap dancer, kissed Sammy Davis, Jr.'s shoe .
Kis-My-Ft2 officially started their career in July 2005 with eight founding members: Hiromitsu Kitayama, Taisuke Fujigaya, Wataru Yoko, Kyohei Ida (all four ex. Kis-My-Ft,), Toshiya Miyata, Kento Senga, Takashi Nikaido Yuta Tamamori . They were all selected from Johnny's Juniors groups. Since Iida left the group in 2006, the I in the band name was officially replaced by the extension of the initials of Ki tayama. They were able to win over a lot of fans from the junior generation at that time. Their debut was in 2011 with the single Everybody Go on the avex label, which put them at number one on the Oricon charts for a few weeks . By November 2019, the boy band had released 9 albums and 25 singles. All albums and singles reached number 1 on the Oricon charts.
