Rumors of an impending Johnnys group debut have been rampant since last year, which had fans guessing who among the current roster of popular Johnnys Jrs will be selected for debut. It was finally announced on January 17 that Johnny & Associates will be debuting a new group “King & Prince†consisting of 6 members. The members are from the Johnnys Jr unit Mr. KING (Hirano Sho, Nagase, Ren, Takahashi Kaito) and Mr. PRINCE (Kishi Yuta, Jinguji Yuta, Iwahashi Genki). The group will be releasing their debut CD in Spring under Universal Music.

As it seems, Hirano Sho might take on the role of frontman for the group given the push he’s given in movies, dramas, and CM. He is cast as lead in two movies to be released this year and is rumored to star in the TBS drama “Hana Nochi Hare: Hanadan Next Season†with Sugisaki Hana, the supposed sequel for the popular Hana Yori Dango drama. It is reported to be slated for spring, right in time for the debut.

The group and its members have been busy in several dramas, films and shows. With the help of Wikipedia and some more research, relevant information have been gathered! Get to know their profile below!

 

A new music label “Johnny’s Universe†was established in collaboration with Universal Music and the group will be the first artist to release under said label. The establishment of a new music label in conjunction with a debut follows the pattern of KinKi Kids (Johnnys Entertainment) and KAT-TUN (J-One Records / subsidiary of J-storm).

The new Johnnys group debut comes 4 years since Johnnys West debuted in 2014. In June 2015, the six members were formed under the unit “Mr.King vs Mr. Prince †to serve as supporters for “TV Asahi Roppongi Hills Summer Festival SUMMER STATIONâ€.

So they decided to combine them after all ? I don’t know what to feel about that I kinda guessed that mr king will debut since sho has 2 movies and 1 drama coming out in 2018. I guess this is the beginning of another debuting season for johnnies let’s see if they will debut another group too or just wait for next year.

SixTONES next please 😢. I'm bitter about SIXTONES not yet debuting (I hope it would be this year, but I can't help but love these babies. Like they were still children when I was watching Gakibara, but now they're grown men 😢

I see that Johnny's naming sense has not (quite) improved. Still better than a name like Sexy Zone and KisMyFt2

ABC Z is by far the worst.unimpressed.png

Also I never heard of those. I guess I am officially over with Johnnys.

They debuted in 2012 but were together since like 2006. 

IDK what the name means anymore. It had something to do with their names I think.

ABC originally is for Acrobat Boys Club because they always do acrobatic act when performing. I dunno what the Z stand for.
