EXILE Performance Battle Audition winners:

• Iwata Takanori (3JSB) - Gun-chan♥
• Sato Taiki
• Shirahama Alan (GENERATIONS)
• Sekiguchi Mendy (GENERATIONS)
• Yamamoto Sekai

People say Sekai or/and Taiki were GENERATIONS' support dancers.

New LDH/EXILE TRIBE group THE RAMPAGE will soon be formed.
(Some or all?) People who didn't win the PBA final (except the others GENERATIONS boys I think) will join the new group as performers.

前日２１日からファンクラブ会員に手紙で報告しており、オフィシャルモバイルサイトでも発表され、３人のメッセージが掲載されている。また、ＨＩＲＯ（４６）らほかのメンバーも３人への思いをつづっている。

　ファンに送った手紙には「このたび、ＥＸＩＬＥのパフォーマーとして活動している松本利夫、ＵＳＡ、ＭＡＫＩＤＡＩの３名が、今年限りでＥＸＩＬＥのパ フォーマーを卒業する旨を発表いたしましたのでご報告申し上げます」とつづられている。さらに「ＥＸＩＬＥのパフォーマーとして、ＥＸＩＬＥのステージに 立つのは今年で最後となりますが、今後もＥＸＩＬＥのメンバーということに変わりはありません」と記されている。３人は、今年秋に行うＥＸＩＬＥの全国 ドームツアーにも予定通り参加する。１２月３１日の卒業後も、既にパフォーマーを卒業したＨＩＲＯと同様、今後もＥＸＩＬＥには在籍する形となる。

　今後については、「松本利夫は舞台を中心に演者としての活動の場を広げるべく劇団ＥＸＩＬＥで『松組』を立ち上げ、ＵＳＡはライフワークである 『ＤＡＮＣＥ　ＥＡＲＴＨ』でダンスが持つ可能性やすばらしさを世の中に伝え、ＭＡＫＩＤＡＩは新たな『ＰＫＣＺ』という場で『ＤＪ　ＭＡＫＩＤＡＩ』と して、よりクリエーティブな活動も考えています」としている。さらには「ＥＸＩＬＥの未来へとつながる未開の地を切り開いていくことは３人にとって新たな 挑戦です。そして、ＥＸＩＬＥのメンバーとして、それぞれの形でエンターテインメントを表現、発信し、常に挑戦者であり続けます」としている。

　公式サイトでは、３人連名のメッセージも掲載された。「ダンスが大好きだったストリートダンサーから、ダンスを職業とするのを夢に見て、そして、 ＥＸＩＬＥのパフォーマーへ。今まで僕らの人生は、ずっと未開の地を開拓する人生でした。それは、まさにＥＸＩＬＥの名の通り、放浪の旅でした。そして 今、ＥＸＩＬＥとしての１つの活動を終え、新たな旅に出る時がきました。ＥＸＩＬＥである限り、現状に満足し、歩みを止めることはありません」とつづって いる。

　さらに「自分たちがレールを作っているなんて思いません。どこにレールが敷けるのかを手探りで見つけていく。僕たちが前に進めば、そこに後からレールが でき、きっと、ＥＸＩＬＥという列車は未来へと、新たな地平へと、ずっと走り続けられるはずだと信じています。ＥＸＩＬＥの未来は、新たな地平の先にあ る。だから今、新たな地平の先をめざす、開拓の旅へ出ます。これは、卒業でも引退でもなく、新たな挑戦です。いつまでも、『僕たちはＥＸＩＬＥだ』という 誇りを持って」と今後に向けたメッセージを記した。

　３人は、９９年にＨＩＲＯらと初代Ｊ　Ｓｏｕｌ　Ｂｒｏｔｈｅｒｓとしてデビューしたオリジナルメンバー。ＨＩＲＯは、今回の卒業発表を受けて「正直寂 しい気持ちもありますが…、ＭＡＴＳＵ、ＵＳＡ、ＭＡＫＩＤＡＩ１人１人のそれぞれ夢に向かう覚悟、そしてＥＸＩＬＥに対しての責任を強く感じていま す！」とコメントした。

　また「Ｊ　Ｓｏｕｌ　Ｂｒｏｔｈｅｒｓから苦楽をともにしてきた３人とは　楽しいことも　つらいことも　悔しいことも…　本当にたくさんの思い出があ り、たくさんの光景を思い出します！！　その１つ１つの経験や体験があったからこそ　ＥＸＩＬＥは進化し続けてきたのだと思います！！　ＥＸＩＬＥがデ ビューしてから約１４年　Ｊ　Ｓｏｕｌ　Ｂｒｏｔｈｅｒｓ時代を含めると約１６年　ずっと夢に向かって頑張ってきた３人にはたくさんの感謝の気持ちと心か らお疲れさまという気持ちでいっぱいです」と思いを明かしている。

[kbidols]

Nice there's a thread about EXILE. This band is to me the best boyband in the whole world. I'm not exaggerating at all.

It's very difficult to sing and dance at the same time while performing both to the max. Exile (and other Japanese bands) found the SUPERB SOLUTION by splitting the task of each member.

[kbidols]

Their PV's are always the best. I haven't actually seen many low budget PV from them. Some that I can recall being which I believed are low budgeted:

1. Toki No Kakera (consisting only of LIVE footages)

2. I Wish For You (consisting only of LIVE footages)

3. Ki MI Ni Mu Chu

 

Other than that their PV's are mostly sick. And they have EXPG too which makes the group even more AWESOME!!!

 

Ki Mi Ni Mu Chu isn't one of my personal favourite single. Dance Into Fantasy and Jounetsu No Hana are though.

[minaeshi]

[kbidols]

Isn't Project Taro the youngest group in Exile Tribe or will they be?

[minaeshi]

They are technically, but they've yet to be included in EXILE TRIBE activities, so they're not included on the "EXILE TRIBE" page in LDH.

 

Also, Avex finally decided to release AGEHA 

[minaeshi]

This user made a really goood "starter pack" for new fans of the LDH groups here on tumblr so i thought i would link it here! 

http://okdr.tumblr.c...ost/89786106604

 

I don't think it's up to date completely because they didn't mention that Hiro isn't an active member anymore, or that USA/MAKI/MATSU graduated, or that Members have left Flower/E-girls, they also didn't mention Taro Project. 

 

Apart from that, it's pretty accurate and a good read for those who still don't quite understand the concept of LDH. 

[minaeshi]

So it seems like LDH have been taking down a bunch of subbed videos of Exile tribe on youtube which is a shame. I get that they want fans to spend money to view these things, but when there isn't any english subtitles on the actual content, it's unlikely that fans would buy the things being released and would rather watch it on youtube where they can understand it lol. 

But alas, jpop doesn't cater to the non japanese fans lol 

 

Anyway, some news! 

 

EXILE's ATSUSHI will be going on his first dome tour this year titled "EXILE ATSUSHI LIVE TOUR 2016 "IT'S SHOW TIME!!"".

THE SECOND from EXILE TRIBE will be holding an Arena Tour during Autumn of 2016. 

[kbidols]

Technically, there are a few other websites that still has quite a lot of LDH materials. So for those who cannot watch it on Youtube anymore, can get it elsewhere.

[minaeshi]

Yes but it would only be people who are already fans of the group who will actively try to search for these things, and lots of groups who translate exile related stuff have stopped doing them because they keep getting taken down by ldh. It doesn't help the new fans that can't speak/understand japanese that would like to get to know the group. Music video's are fun to watch but it doesn't tell you anything about the group itself. But as I said above, ldh's primary concern is the japanese fans since they make up 94% of the profit the company gets, so it's understandable that they don't put subs on their content. 

 

In other news, GENERATIONS did a online show promoting their 3rd Album 'SPEEDSTER', you can watch it on youtube here

Here is a little news about the newest Exile tribe group, The Rampage! The group are currently referred to as "acting Exile Tribe members"

 

                                                        (New group profile for 2016)

 

As you know, Back in 2014 the members of the rampage took on Musha Shugyo (similar to Generations's Musha Shugyo) and in 2015 it was decided that all 16 members would be part of the group. Now HIRO has sent them on their SECOND Musha Shugyo titled 'Get Ready to RAMPAGE' but this time they will be separated into 3 teams. These teams will tour around the 47 prefectures of Japan, and it will decide who will debut as "OFFICIAL" members of EXILE TRIBE.
