KANJANI∞ pimp post
Who is KANJANI∞???
Kanjani8 aka Eito, a group that is composed of 7 boys(or probably old men) from kansai. They were one of the most neglected johnnys despite of being part of the so called golden jr era. Yokoyama You, Murakami Shingo, Shibutani Subaru and Nishikido Ryo was part of the golden jr era, they had roles in dramas and co-hosted shows with arashi, toma and T&T. But then after Arashi and T&T debuted, these boys were neglected, JE threw them back to Osaka without a even clear path for their future.
But yeah, because of their hardwork , they were able to pull it together. Together with V west’s Maruyama Ryuhei, Uchi Hiroki, Yasuda Shota, they had a stage play called Another and tv show called j3 kansai which started everything for them again. On the 9th episode of j3 kansai, Ohkura tadayoshi joined the group and they were officially called KANJANI∞. They debuted last August 25 2004 with the single Naniwa Iroshi Bushi.
Kanjani8’s success
Despite of their debut last 2004, they were still neglected. They had tours and stage plays but they werent given as much opportunity as the other groups. They often mention how jealous they were with NEWS and KATTUN. Uchi Hiroki’s scandal made things worse for them, their drama special was cancelled and Uchi was put on an indefinite hiatus.
2007 became their year. Zukkoke Otoko Michi, as kanjani8 members would always say, was their break through single. According to Wikipedia, "Zukkoke Otoko Michi debuted at number-one on the Weekly Charts and number-three for the month of April. The single went later on to be the number-one8 top selling single of 2007”.
The flow of their popularity continued and by 2010 they had their own movie called 8uppers. Not every Johnny’s group could release a movie where all the members are the lead. By 2010, eito’s popularity become more obvious, people started noticing them too after releasing “Life- Me no mae no mukou”, it wasn’t eito’s first band song but it was their first band song that was release as a single.
I guess after 2010, the rest was history. Since 2011 they are the 2nd most selling johnnys next to arashi. 2012 was their 8th anniversary which was an amazing year for them with 8est tour and 8sai. They also release their 2nd movie as group which was Eight Ranger, a movie adaptation of the fan-favorite skit during concerts. Last 2014 was their 10th year anniversary, they had also release the sequel, Eight Ranger 2.
(Copy paste from Wikipedia again.)“Right after their 10th anniversary celebrations(十祭, Jussai), Kanjani Eight announced launching of the independent record label 'Infinity Record' that was named by members. Their contract with record company Teichiku Entertainment has expired on the 24th and they have since launched own independent label, to be under the umbrella of J-storm. With the independent label, there will be an increased responsibility as members seek to pursue Kanjani Eight-ness. They will be responsible for production, from song arrangement and recording, release time, and concert planning. According to Murakami Shingo, this has been decided so that "we can show our colors and ideas more deeply" and promises growth as a group. Additionally, launching of the independent record label is first time as a boy group of Johnny & Associations.
The group was the 3rd artist by total sales revenue in Japan in 2014, with ¥5.862 billion”
As a group they are currently hosting 3 shows, KanJAM, Janiben and Chronicles. Each members have solo tv shows too.
They are gay…No not really…:D
Please don’t get shock with a lot of kissing, hugging, porn talks, di*k talks…… They get along way too much.
Why 7 members?
Sadly they became a 7 member group just a year after their debut because Uchi Hiroki was caught by the police for underage drinking.
Ryo and Uchi as NEWS
Both Ryo and Uchi are members of Kanjani8 before they even met the members of NEWS but they debuted first as NEWS members which made Kanjani8 worried again about their future. Uchi left both news and kanjani8 after his drinking incident. While Ryo stayed as both news and kanjani8 until 2011. Kanjani8 somehow become the2nd most popular johnnys next to arashi so being in two groups became too much for Ryo.
What makes Kanjani8 amazing for me?
1. Gap(A funny and crazy group but also cool and very talented)
Everyone knows them for being crazy and funny but those who aren’t fans didn’t even tried to look at their cool side. They are known for their lively and funny songs but Kanjani8’s band songs are the best! Every member knows how to play an instrument. More than half of the members love music, they aren’t there to perform but also to create amazing songs. I think some of the members didn’t actually like to be called ‘idols’ before, they wanted to be considered as ‘artist’or ’musicians’..:DD
2.They are Fun.
They are fun and crazy. There are many things that only Kanjani8 can do. If you are depressed, I guess this group is perfect for you. (I did met them after kattun lose koki so yeah..xD)
3. They get along well
‘They get along well’ well, they do…:D Maybe fans saw it, how sincere the relationship between this guys are. They do not just say ‘they get along well’, but they show it. Whatever relationship they have it doesn’t end in front of the camera, or in front of an interviewer. Probably, because of all challenges they faced before and after they debut made their bond stronger, it was an advantage that JE neglected them when they were just starting. (Have I mentioned that the members went personally to record stores to beg the owners to sell their debut single?). Kanjani8 is really important to each members because all 7 of them worked hard to get where they are now.
I guess if you are going to ask eighters what they love about kanjani8, all these 3 things are at the top.
So who are the Members???
YOKOYAMA YOU (aka my future husband)
He is the oldest, most childish, formerly the funniest and most lively member too. I guess everyone knows him for being the clown, for being loud, for loving boobs, for being such an adorable attention seeker. But Yoko is actually the shyest member too. He is so good at talking, he knows how to lead a topic during tv shows and interviews but as he grew older the shy side gets more visible. I think he is also going for a much more ‘idol’ route. Last 2014, he fixed his crooked bottom teeth, he goes on diet, he started boxing, he got abs..he changed somehow but he is still the funny yoko we all know, just little bit idolish.:D He tends to forget things a lot that is why he loses his phone, wallet and keys easily.
He loves his family so much. He talks a lot about them especially before his mom died last 2010. He have 2 younger brothers, Mitsuru and Tsutomu. They werent from a rich family, I read somewhere that he was able to study before only because of a scholarship he got from playing basketball. Then when they were nedlected by JE, Yoko worked as a construction worker even though he was a johnnys junior in order to help his family...
Yoko is not the smartest member but he is a genius when it comes to thinking of brilliant and crazy ideas, he is the founder of K8’s famous alter ego which is Eight Ranger. He directs and writes the script of their eight ranger skits in their concerts. The pranks and surprises he did for the members off and on cam are crazy yet amazing too. Despite of being not the best singer, yoko is a good lyricist.He’s written some of his solo songs as well as sankyodai’s(sub unit with Yasu and Baru) songs.
He is also the only johnny’s(I’m not sure if there are others) who uses stage name. His name wasn’t You, He was born as Yokoyama Kimitaka. Johnnys calls his talents ‘You’ except for Yoko who he calls, Yoko.
Oh and for KT fans, Junno’s famous ‘Iriguchi, deguichi Taguchi’ was actually Yoko’s idea.

MURAKAMI SHINGO (aka my future husband’s (ex)boyfriend)
Yeah, I ship yokohina sorry..:D
Hina is known for his tsukkomis aka smacking people hard. He is surely the most talented too when it comes to hosting, I think he is currently hosting as much shows as Sakurai Sho. In kanjani8's band perfs he plays the piano and he is surely good at it, he improved a lot. I can't say that he is the most matured one in eito but I find him the manliest. And according to yoko, he is the cutest person on earth even though he calls him gorilla, the one who look good in suits and the one who got a really awesome body. Yoko and him are the perfect match(Lol). Both are the worst singers yet they both talk so well. You should listen to Yoko and Hina’s recomen before. Recomen is now hosted by Hina and Maru though after Yoko resigned last 2013.
Why is he called Hina? Because during his younger years they said that, he resembles a popular female idol, Hinagata Akiko. He had mentioned last year that only Yoko, Baru, Toma and Arashi members calls him Hina now.
Hina dated Erika Toda. No, it was not just a rumor, there are photos of them kissing and they never denied it anyway.
He is scared of insects/bugs and hates animals but during a janiben episode he met a cat. They seem so compatible and Hina started to like her a lot so he bought it and named it Chii.

SHIBUTANI SUBARU (He owns voice you’ll love the most)
Baru is the main singer of the group but also known for being a pervert(well everyone in the group is a pervert anyway). He has a unique voice that is why not everyone likes it but he is an amazing singer. He is the best singer in the group and probably one of the best voices in Johnnys entertainment. Subaru has a cool and wild side but his cute and kind side is something you'll also like about him. He is called chicchai ossan too because of his small and cute figure.
Subaru had a tattoo, he got it when he suffered from depression before debut. HE spent years covering it up with gloves and bandages. If you’ll look closely at his hands now you will still notice a few scars/marks after it was removed.
He had solo concerts too with Flat Five Flowers last 2008, and finally got his solo debut last 2015. He had a concert tour last year and currently on solo tour now. He is good in playing instruments too.

NISHIKIDO RYO (Charisma prince/ The ultimate bias wrecker)
Should I even introduce this guy? Like who the hell doesn’t know Nishikido Ryo???xD
He is known as someone who gets mad easily, hot headed, creepy and someone with a poison tongue but that's only one part of him. He is kind, caring and cute too. He is too cute and still looks like a kid even on his 30s. It’s cute how he easily gets embarrassed, how he is spoiled by the older members sometimes (Yoko sets Ryo’s dentist appointments. Because ryo is a baby?xD). People might have been mistaken him as a snob too since he is actually shy type, talking to his costar is one of his weakness. But he got a good acting skills too and honestly, his voice is my favorite among kanjani8.
Ryo works hard. When he is assigned to do a task, he takes it seriously. I was impressed on how he handled recital tour and the genki deru song. He is no doubt a very good and talented actor especially if given with a perfect role.
Why Charisma prince/ The ultimate bias wrecker? Just look at him. He is irresistible. No matter what Japanese fandom you are in, even if you do not know, Nishikido Ryo. Once you see him, you’ll get curious.:D

OHKURA TADAYOSHI (The spoiled brat/ everyone’s prince)
Everyone likes or liked this guy. If you’ll ask the eighters, who is their first ichiban in eito, most might answer ohkura. He was my first love in eito too.
He was quite an annoying self-centered brat. He was a quiet kid that will only talk when he is whining and complaining or when there is food. But he is admirable. He is kanjani8’s drummer but before he became a member, he doesn’t even know how to play the drums. Kanjani8 needed a drummer so Yasu suggested Ohkura. Ohkura was the least active junior of all of them so when Johnny asked if he could play the drums he said, he can’t but he’ll learn how to .He knew that it is a chance for him. He was given a month to learn and he did it.
Ohkura who is also known by the nickname Tacchon grew up and became a better drummer. He got roles in many dramas too. From a shy quiet kid, he became a cool and confident idol who is still a little bratty though.:D
Ohkura’s dad is quite famous bacause he is an owner of a famous is chain of Izakaya. He runs his own blogs and has a twitter account.

YASUDA SHOTA (The genius guitarist)
He is eito’s unexpectedly manly guitarist. This guy wears skirts, designs clothes, paints his nail and is surely the most girly member. But he is someone who could do everything. His talent and personality makes him very manly. He is into sports and he has superb skills in playing instruments and composing songs.
He is also the kindest member as everyone says. He is so kind that instead of killing a cockroach, he wanted to touch because the cockroach hasn’t done anything to harm him. He likes giving nicknames too. He was the one who first called Ohkura as Tacchon.
He is the reason why we have Ohkura and Ryo now. Ryo’s number in his application was wrong, Je wasn’t able to contact him but because of Yasu who tried to get everyone’s number including Ryo’s during audition, Je was able to contact Ryo. He was also the one who suggested to put Tacchon as their drummer too. So I guess he the reason why all these amazing members are in the group called Kanjani8..:D

Maru is the no doubt the group’s moodmaker. He likes doing weird faces and he is famous for is one line gag, “PAAAAAANNN!!”. His parents are body builders, maybe due to their influence, Maru really likes showing his muscles. He likes dressing up too in weird clothes like garter belts for Eito members, especially for Yoko. He does like Yoko a lot but seems like he likes Ohkura’s attention more now.
Despite of his cheerful and genki image, he works hard and takes things seriously, he worries so much about small mistakes.He is unexpectedly hot too while playing his bass guitar. He looks so different and cool whenever he is playing.

DISCOGRAPHY
I'm still trying to make a detailed post about this but for now, here's the wikipedia link. I actually updated this too.. I just forgot to update the concert part..
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanjani_Eight_discography
I admire this group a lot. Their image had always been the poor and neglected kansai johnnys because they were but they crawled their way to the top and I am so proud and happy to see all their achievements.
This is a very long pimp post…xDD this is just me spreading how much I love the group.:DD I've been only a fan for 2 years so everything written here are just things that i observed and read about them during the past 2 years...:)
Also, I did this because a lot of hyphens had been asking me about kanjani8, I hope that this helped somehow. I am a hyphen too, Kat-tun was my main fandom. I met kanjani8 after Koki's termination, when I was sad and broken. I admit, this group gave me happiness.
Enjoy! You guys are entering a world full of craziness.:)
