The MV for THE RAMPAGE's debut!! [Lightning]

The younger generation of EXILE TRIBE tend to be more "Korean-ish" compared to the original Exile itself. Not really what I was expecting.

BREAKING NEWS:

The PKCZ members have been in a car accident on the way to the Sandaime J-Soul Brothers Sapporo concert.

 

Here's what happened according to Twitter and Facebook:
 

2016.12.24
◆ from Ryuji Imaichi

An accident like this occurred this time and it is covered with great sorrow.

In the bad weather, everyone at PKCZ® members, staff members who had been working towards the site with the intention of raising their LIVE, accident in such an accident happened, I can not find a word. I think that the impact of the accident and the situation at that time is immeasurable.
 

And, for everyone who was looking forward to the Sapporo performance this time, I made it into a form of cancellation of the performance, and I have multiplied a lot of troubles and worries. I am truly sorry.
 

This tour is not a thing we have just made with only seven people, we have cooperated with many people to support. We could not have been here unless we had the power of the PKCZ® members who were in the accident and the staff members.
 

I decided to make this decision by talking to the members and the staff.

Everyone who was looking forward to the Sapporo performance is full of feelings of sorry really, but I'm happy if you can understand our thoughts, members of PKCZ® members, and the thoughts of everyone of the staff.

I would like to do my best to make a transfer performance.
 

And I'd be happy if you prayed for recovery of an early injury together as much as a day.

There was a car accident on the way to Sandaime J Soul Brothers Concert. They are in Sapporo on 24/25.12. But it was canceled. Maikai, PKCZ and Verbal m-flo Were in the car.

Because of bad snow weather, a truck is driven into the car shortly after midnight on 24.12!

The report says so far Makidai has ribbed fractures

THE RAMPAGE's Suzuki Takahide (18) Injured himself during a performance. During the performance of "EXILE THE SECOND LIVE TOUR 2016-2017 'WILD WILD WARRIORS'" on the 14th January, Takahide sprained his right ankle and received medical treatment in hospital. The doctors said he would not be able to participate in The Rampage's debut events on the 15th and 16th. Management have yet to say whether he will be present in the dates above, but since they have not said anything, we'll assume he will attend (as management always let fans know if a member wont be attending an event for any reason. Let's hope he recovers quickly so he can perform on their debut day!

An article from Vogue on the groups reception there 

Spoiler

Iwata Takanori and NAOTO with Usher. 

Admit it, the term boy band doesn’t always connote “well dressed.” While in recent years the evolutions of Harry Styles and Zayn Malik have given the fashion world a new generation of menswear stars, the unabashedly cheesy sartorial choices of bands like ’NSync and the Backstreet Boys haven’t faded from memory. Thankfully, not every all-male group needs a lesson in style. Members of Japanese supergroup, Sandaime J Soul Brothers from Exile Tribe, have been making their presence felt during Paris Fashion Week Men’s, wearing fresh-from-the-runway looks, and even becoming part of the shows themselves.
At today’s Louis Vuitton Fall 2017 show, band members arrived wearing a cross section of Kim Jones’s best pieces and showed the audience exactly how you pull off coordinating looks. Displaying their personalities via their selections was co-bandleader Naoto, who can pull off some rather arresting takes on the latest trends dressed with a whimsical touch in an illustration-covered bomber jacket, retro sunglasses, and a simple gold chain; while heartthrob Takanori Iwata went full logomania with a long monogrammed scarf and a dapper overcoat accessorized with a silver brooch on his lapel. Looking in sync without seeming matchy-matchy, the pair took in all the Louis Vuitton x Supreme gear and posed with designer Jones after the show.
Joined in the Louis Vuitton front row by their equally stylish friend, actor Takumi Saito, some of the Sandaime J Soul Brothers continued their Paris Fashion Week fun with a trip to Yohji Yamamoto. Watching as bandmate Naoki Kobayashi took to the runway alongside Saito, the group showed solidarity and a whole new set of impossibly chic outfits. Naoto and Iwata changed quickly into sleek Yohji Yamamoto pieces: Iwata sported a plush plaid overcoat and Naoto embraced layers of shearling. For his part, Kobayashi fit right in with Yamamoto’s eclectic cast, dressed in a suit emblazoned with the words Japan this is for you.
Though they made the biggest splash at Louis Vuitton and Yohji Yamamoto, those aren’t the only labels have that piqued the group’s interest. The dedicated clotheshorses have been making pit stops in Paris to the Ambush showroom for a first look at the season’s jewelry and judging by their Snapchat updates on their latest invites, it’s clear they’re taking the city by storm. Given their combined love of fashion and dedicated fan base—charted in hit records as well as strong social media showings—it’s no wonder they’re front and center during the menswear shows, but they contribute more than millions of followers. With compelling outfits and runway moments they’ve brought the one thing fashion always needs: Excitement.

I'm not gonna lie, it was a very messy performance, probably because they were all wearing different outfits and dancing in a small space, so as a group it didn't look too appealing but they all looked great as individuals
