[PROFILE] Gang Star -Kansai Jr. (5th Generation)
After watching the episode of Maido Jani featuring Gang Star, I decided to put their profiles here. It's a Kansai Johnny's Jr. group who back dances for their senior Kanjuu groups. The group's little brother, Little Gangs, was formed before it. Several members of Little Gangs are being promoted to Gang Star, which result to different members/ different generations each time. So, it means that there is no certain member, just the original members and the new ones. I still don't know about Little Gang's members at the moment. And I'm still not sure of how it goes.
This was from Junior calendar 2011-2012. Yukito Kusamoto is here. I guess that they are the original?
Maybe the generations I am talking here might not be exact, but let it be to avoid confusion. XD Or someone who knows what is it exactly? :) Please enlighten me.
The first generation of members are Okazaki Takumi, Joichiro Fujiwara, Imae Daichi, Nakata Atsushi, Koja Nairu, Asada Junya, and Ohashi Kazuya. Due to withdrawal of some members, they tend to add a member. The second generation was after Okazaki left. Third generation after Nakata left. Okazaki and Nakata already left the agency. The fourth generation was when Kusama Richard Keita and Kusumoto Yukito joined the group. And finally, for the fifth generation, Sanda joined while Kusama left the group. Kusama is still within the agency, I think, but without a group.
When I watched the MaiJani episode which was back at May 2013, Richard was still a member. But here is the recent one from Wink Up November 2013 issue.
