THE BIG JOHNNY'S JR PIMP POST!
Cos mrstsubasaimai kind of told me to do this.
Then you can show the world why pwnage does not necessarily equal undue amounts of sluttiness. DO ITTTTT.
....aaaaand cos I'm still procrastinating and therefore miserably fail at life. And also because I know you all want to get to know the Juniors a little better cos you al spend entire Shounen Clubs, Dream Boyses (eh? XD) Summaries and Shocks wondering who the hell all those kids are. So here it is.
I'm only going into the current units, and I won't really elaborate on previous units, cos lots of people used to be in like 3 different groups and I'm a lazy person. I'm also not even going into all of the current units, cos like I said, I'm a lazy person and I was too lazy to figure out who all the Jr. Boys and the 'Fresh Jrs.' were. XD
Plus, it's not like anyone really cares about the Kansai Jrs., is it? It's not like there are people who obsessively watch K8 concerts to catch a glimpse of them, are there? if there are, then I hereby apologise XD But apparently there's a kid from Sweden among the 'Fresh Jrs.' and also a half Malaysian kid.
/random facts
Also didn't include the Nagoya Jrs. cos wtf, Nagoya Jrs?!
oh, and I don't really hate all Toma fangirls.. I swear, just the whiny ones XD
I also apologise for the fact that it ended up looking like a DBSG picspam because of the many Korean watermarks. XD Korean fansites own my soul. ♥
The Big Johnny's Jr. Pimp Post
Johnny's Jr.
K, so first you get the so called 'Leading Juniors', which is basically just a fancy name for the kids who are too cool to be in a group, which causes things like: FIVE & Jimmy Mackey and A.B.C. & Toushin Yoshikazu to arise. XD The other three guys (Ikuta Toma, Kazama Shunsuke & Hasegawa Jun) are the remaining '3Tops', who used to be in 4Tops with Yamapi, but he was obviousy put into NEWS, which created about a thousand angsty whiny Toma fangirls who seriously seem to think Toma still spends hours on his bed crying about being separated from the love of his life.
Aren't they a bunch of happy kids?
First off, the 3Tops.
So yeah, that's Toma, Yamapi fans probably know him cos they're like "BFF!1!!" when Jin isn't around.
And Hasegawa Jun
And then there's Kazama Shunsuke, aka Kazapon.
And Jimmy. who so totally left the JE which totally makes me emo XD Jimmy is kind of 'that really tall half-American kid who's fluent in English'. But like I said, he's not actually in JE anymore, but a lot of things Juniorfandom-related don't make any sense if you don't know who Jimmy Mackey is XD He used to sing with FiVe, who are the Jr. back-up band.
Meet Toushin. "Hi Toushin". Isn't he the most adorable thing ever? I thought so. Toushin usually just runs around with A.B.C., cos the group he used to be in (ING Shinkoukei) disbanded cos half the members left JE, and then one of them joined MAD, and well, Toushin got stuck with those crackheads of A.B.C.
These kids usually kind of host Shounen Club when the You & J (I just had to use it XD I obviously meant NEWS, kat-TuN and Kanjani8) groups aren't around.
Johnny's Jr. - Music Station Special Medley
Johnny's Jr. - Gooood
Jimmy Mackey & Yabu Kota - New York, New York
Also too lazy to upload more songs XD
Kis-My-Ft(2)
So that's t.r.: Nikaido - Toshiya - Fujigaya - Iida, b.r.: Yuta - Kitayama - Yokoo - Senga.
Kis-My-Ft2 are 'the ones with the rollerskates' The members have changed about a thousand times, but the way things are now are the way they've been since last summer. Kisumai are:
K - Kitayama Hiromitsu
I - Iida Kyohei
S - Senga Kento
M - Miyata Toshiya
Y - Yokoo Wataru
F - Fujigaya Taisuke
T - Tamamori Yuta
2 (ni) - Nikaido Takashi
The 'original 4'. Or rather, the 4 before they merged with A.B.C. Jr. The original group was made up of more/different members.
What is this? their catch-pose?
Look, Massu used to be in Kisumai. (I'm merely using him as a tool to get you kids to love them XD)
JE seems to be majorly pimping these two. (I am so fearing the debut of a group that consists of these two, Tottsu, Tsuka, Yabu & Hikaru >.>). So I will as well.
Kitayama Hiromitsu
Iida Kyohei
Senga Kento
Miyata Toshiya
Yokoo Wataru
Fujigaya Taisuke
Tamamori Yuta
Nikaido Takashi
Plus, apart from having mad rollerskate skillz, they're also actually stylish.
Victoria Beckham!Taisuke
And Bad-Ass!Yokoo
Hardcore!Kitayama
He's so hardcore he gets to drive Takki around during cons.
I had to put him in there, cos Aura's going insane without him. XD Cos yeah, Iida has been on a break from the Jimusho since April cos he wanted to concentrate on Uni. Just don't pull a Jimmy, mmmk? Look at him being all sexy.. with that phone of his...
Hello there, you sexy foot, you.
Senga is in fact a girl. Don't tell everyone that though, they'll get angsty.
Kis-My-Ft2 - Orochi Taiko (EURO Ver.)
Kis-My-Ft2 - Endless Road
Kis-My-Ft2 - Sennen no LOVE SONG
Kis-My-Ft2 - Sayonara no Jounetsu
Kis-My-Ft. - Hikaru Genji Medley
They only have one real original song so far, Endless Road, but Sennen no LOVE SONG became Kisumai's song after K.K.Kity disbanded. Private Hearts and Stand Up were K.K.Kity songs as well, but KKK (kusano, koyama and shige) took those with them to NEWS, so they're now NEWS songs. Erm, I'm ♥ Hikaru GENJI, so I couldn't resist uploading some HG (lol) covers. They did the Orochi Taiko during a SC earlier this year, I believe, the date's probably somewhere in the tag.
Aaaaaand Kitayama will produce the June 11th Shounen Club, and he will sing Matchy's Gin Gira Gin ni Sarigenaku, which totally rocks my world. Aaaand, both Kisumai and A.B.C. will sing their new ori-songs, so make sure you download. just make sure you download all Shokura's from now on, if you weren't already doing so.
A.B.C.
A.B.C. are the 'Acrobat Boys Club'. They're the backflippin' somersaultin' ones. The scary thing about ABC is that you spend every single performance holding your breath because you're afraid one of them will break his neck.
A.B.C. fall on their heads a lot, hence their undeniable insanity.
t.r.: Kawai Fumito & Tsukada Ryoichi. b.r.: Goseki Koichi, Totsuka Shota
the thing with most Jrs. is...
that you're likely to go: "omg they were sooo adorable when they were little!!!" over pictures taken/shows taped like, 2 years ago.
Tsuka. Tsukada usually just grins like a maniac, really. Oh wait, they all do, except for Kawai, who actually tries to look semi-thoughtful from time to time.
I'm not sure what was this photographer was thinking.
ZOMFG! I found a semi-flattering pic of him. *is proud of mad-internets-surfing-skillz*
Tottsu usually has this look on his face, I'm serious. XD And you shall all love Tottsu, cos he's the adorablelelbellbest out of all four of them. And he took over Ryo's part in Dream Boys. hah. Cos that's how adorable he is.
THAT's the kind of insane face I'm talking about.
Oh look, it's Akiyama Jun, who has clearly gone insane because he realised MA will never debut.
A.B.C. - Freedom
A.B.C. - Orochi Taiko (ROCK Ver.)
Freedom is their only ori-song so far, but like I said, they'll get a new one next month.
Ya-Ya-yah
-insert mad cackling here- I'll actually keep this decent and not turn it into a big Ya3 Pimp Post.
Ya-Ya-yah clearly pwn you and your mother's soul. (Yamashita Shoon, Yaotome Hikaru, Yabu Kota, Ayukawa Taiyo)
...for this is a very random pic.
...for Yabu is teh sex. and don't you dare deny it. You all pedo over him, you're just too scared to admit it.
...for Shoon is in Ya3 and everyone seems to think he is also teh sex. And he turns 18 this year, which undoubtedly makes lots of people feel less guilty for perving over him.
...for he is also adorable. And children seem to like him, so he also pwns your kid sister.
...for Hikaru is in the group. Which is really more than enough reason for everyone to love them.
...for Taiyo, at 15-years-old, is almost as tall as Jimmy Mackey. and I didn't resize this to emphasize their height. he's probably the tallest Jr around now, isn't he? XD
....for their TV show is the most random thing ever.
...with things like this.
...forYabu/Jin = OTP
...FOR THEY WERE IN THE STAGE PLAY PRODUCTION OF THEGREATESTMOVIEEVAHR STAND BY ME!
Ya-Ya-yah - Sekai ga Hitotsu ni Naru Made
Ya-Ya-yah - Yuuki 100%
Ya-Ya-yah - Yuuki 100% (Shounen Club)
Ya-Ya-yah - HA-RU-NA-TSU-A-KI-FU-YU
Ya-Ya-yah - 2 Of Us
Ya-Ya-yah - Just Wanna Lovin' You
Ya-Ya-yah - Himawari no MELODY
Ya-Ya-yah - Ikujinashi
Ya-Ya-yah - Jewel Star
Yabu Kota - Johnny's Medley
What can I say? They have a lot of original songs. These aren't even half of them. So, the Yuuki/Sekai single, and then my favourite/most recent songs. I actually like Yabu's solo version of Djwel Star better, but I didn't want to include any solo's, cos then I'd have to include more solo's, and.. cue laziness! I did include the Johnny's Medley Yabu did a few years ago, which is the best thing ever, cos he does practically all of my favourite sempai songs and all the other guys are practically molesting him and at one point Subaru tries to eat his head. Oh and Hikaru kind of joins in every once in a while, but that doesn't count.
J.J. Express
J.J.Express, aka 'the group of which you always thought to consist of a thousand little boys'
There are actually just 9 of them ranging between the ages of 11 and 16. The extra kid that always runs around with them is Yamada Ryosuke. He's not an actual member, though. JJ Express also liks to screw around with the members (not like THAAAT! -insert shocked MonaBoyd faces here-), considering out of the original JJE about 3 members are still in the group right now.
Kamei Taku, Arioka Daiki, Morimoto Ryutaro, Inoo Kei, Fukazawa Tatsuya.
Hashimoto Ryosuke, Nakajima Yuuto, Asaka Koudai, Takaki Yuya.
Inoo Kei, everyone knows Inoo. And he played Massu's little brother in Gachi Baka ^^
Hashimoto Ryosuke. Practically 'the lead singer of the band'
Morimoto Ryutaro, 'the chibi one'
Arioka Daiki. The cool one. ♥
Asaka Kodai. 'the hot one' "Hello hell. ^^"
Fukazawa Tatsuya 'the one with the huge eyebrows'
Takaki Yuya 'the oldest'
Kamei Taku. Erm.. the other one?
aw, they even have slumberpartyshoots. don't all JE groups? XD
including donut-breakfasts.
Yuuto will probably be the new Jr. leader later in a few years, considering they way JE has been pimping him. You either really love Yuuto or you want to strangle his little neck, so the people who'll go with the latter will just have to get over that urge, I guess.
THEY HAVE PANDA-THEMED SHOOTS!
LOVE THEM!
At least love Arioka, cos I'll hunt you down if you don't.
K, so Matsumoto Kouhei & Inoo were like BFF before JE created all these silly new units and put Matsumoto in Kis-My-Ft and Inoo in some unit with some current Kisumai members, called MINT, which no one remembers, but then JJ Express was created and they were finally reunited and then Ma-chan totally disappeared again last year and Esther got all emo.
J.J. Express - Superstar
J.J. Express - JJ Express Medley
J.J. Express - Love Me Baby
J.J. Express - Yamadera no Oshou-san
J.J. Express - Genki wo Dashite
J.J. Express - Stronger Without You
Ori's! And they sing Back in Time in the JJ Express medley, which also contains wicked cool fabtastic renditions of sempai songs. Love Me Baby and Superstar are the best songs ever, so make sure you at least download those.
Question?
There's just three of them now, but Daisuke sort of joined them as they didn't have a keyboard player, so he's kind of in both units now.
Noda Yuya used to be with them as well, but he left and joined M.A.D. So now it's Yodogawa Yoshihiro on drums, Fujiie Kazuyori on bass, and Yonemura Daijiro as the vocalist, and also on guitar. And recently another guy joined them, Igoo Akun, as their lead guitarist.
So this is the current line-up.
Question? - Holy Heaven
Question? - Precious Memories
Question? - Kanjitemiro
FiVe
I know near to nothing about these guys. But I'll give it a shot.
Meet FiVe. They're the back-up band during Shokura's and performances and they've even had their own gigs with Jimmy. They're not as shiny as some of the other groups, but Daisuke is très adorable and Ryota is just tall, dark 'n handsome and totally Jimmy's boytoy.
So that's...
...Uesato Ryota on bass
..Nakaegawa Rikiya on the guitar
..Makino Koji behind the drums
..and of course Ishigaki Daisuke (actor Ishigaki Yuma's little brother) on keyboard.
Random Jrs.
I kind of felt the need to include them, cos they're three Juniors who kind of stand out I guess, lol.
Goto Hiromi
Goto Hiromi is the violinkid. You might have noticed him during some Seishun Amigo performances and during the Music Station medley, which had a wicked cool intro. I just like violins, so he earns 35000 points by being the violinkid. XD hiromi go.. hiromi goto.. namae.. ga niteru(8)
Tomita Mao
Tomita Mao is the twirlkid. He was actually interviewed during the latest Shokura's Jr. ni Q I believe. Apparently he's been twirling ever since he was 3. wtf. And he used to be in Kis-My-Ft, but wasn't everyone? XD This kid has mad skillz and actually enters competitions and stuff. I had no idea who he was, so I googled him up and found lots of twirling sites which listed him in rankings and stuff. I had no idea what his name was, so I googled him up on terms of バトン (baton) and Jr.ニQ (Jr. ni Q, obviously XD), which only led me to realise that most Japanese fangirls had no idea who he was either and just named him baton-kun, or 'the twirling kid', so it took me quite a while to find his name XD
Joey Tee
You either hate Joey or you love him. Most people hate him though. He was introduced in the Shokura Tegoshi produced, and he was like: "Hi, I'm Joey Tee, I'm 11 years old, I'm from LA... *continues to blab on in English*" I thought he was hilarious back then (he actually wore this exact same shirt, which was one of the reasons for my amusement), but I haven't seen him actually doing anything other than dance around with the Jr Boys since that episode, so I'm yet to form an actual opinion about this kid.
kity. everyone knows and hates the kity.
Kitayama, Inoo, Tottsu, Yaotome.
M.A.
Yonehara Tsuyoshi, Yara Tomoyuki, Machida Shingo, Akiyama Jun.
IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND ANYTHING ON THESE GUYS! Well, maybe not, I just don't really care about them. Sure, they're fab dancers, and sure, Akiyama Jun is hot and was also in Stand by Me, but these guys are in their mid-twenties, so I hardly count them as Jrs. So you're not getting any pics, nor any info, cos I simply don't know. If I would've paid attention to their interview on the first Shokura Premium I would've undoubtedly been able to tell you something about them, but I didn't, cos I was too busy dozing of to that show's utter boringness. I know they backdance for things like Shock, and I also know that Akiyama Jun is probably the oldest Jr. evahr considering he's older than Ohno Satoshi. Oh, and M.A. stands for Musical Academy, in case you were wondering.
M.A.D.
Musical Academy Dance. I'm not sure why the Dance was added, as far was I know MA only dance as well. Don't really care that much for these kids either, hell, I knew like 3 of the members cos they used to be in other units. I'm a superficial teenybopper and they don't have catchy songs like some of the others do, and they're not as shiny either, so you're getting faces with names and that'll be it. XD M.A.D. usually just back-up at cons as well, as far as I know they don't have any originals.
I feel bad for these guys, considering lots of their old bandmates are in groups like Kisumai now, and they're stuck forever backdancing for Arashi and the likes.
Kansai Jrs.
No one really cares about the Kansai Jrs, do they? XD As far as I know there are only three units + the obligatory random Jrs. running around.
The Kansai Boys. yo. They're actually really adorable, and I actually like them, so there.
Yamasaki Kunta (who is too effing adorable for anyone's good), Hayashi Matori, Nakata Daichi, Hamada Takahiro.
I'm never really sure about the members, cos I'm sure there were 6 of them at one point, but this is the current line-up.
Kansai Boys - Chance
Kansai Boys - Tsurugi no Mai
Both from Kanjani8's Spirits!! DVD.
and B.A.D. It stands for Beautiful American Dream.
Muro Ryuta, Kiriyama Akito, Nakama Junta, Ito Masashi.
B.A.D. - Tomaranai Omoi - Iseijin
Also from Spirits!!
and Kansai M.A.D... Schmansai M.A.D. my apologies.
Thai Jrs./G-Juniors
aka GOLF & MIKE
the 'G' stands for Grammy, which is the biggest Thai entertainment production company. GMM Grammy basically owns the Thai pop industry, lol. There are actually a whole lot of G-JUNIORS, loads of girls as well, but as far as I know only Golf & Mike are involved with Johnny's.
Credits are on the pics. Except for the pics I randomly found online and those I janked off Hadaka no Johnny's, My Happy Town, Little Jr Heaven and pretty_paradise.
And if I said something really stupid and untrue somewhere, feel free to correct me.
Now go join ambitious_boys and yayayah, jjexpress, crazy_accel and kis_my_ft2 if you know what's good for you.
AND PIMP THIS OUT TO EVERYONE!!! Cos I want the next group to debut to become as overrated as kat-TuN.
UPDATED! JJE and Kisumai now have personal pics. XD And updated Question? and 'kity'. I'll probably update the Kansai Jrs. after having watched the September Shounen Clubs cos the whole B.A.D./Kansai BOYS screwing around confuses me at the moment. XD
Then you can show the world why pwnage does not necessarily equal undue amounts of sluttiness. DO ITTTTT.
....aaaaand cos I'm still procrastinating and therefore miserably fail at life. And also because I know you all want to get to know the Juniors a little better cos you al spend entire Shounen Clubs, Dream Boyses (eh? XD) Summaries and Shocks wondering who the hell all those kids are. So here it is.
I'm only going into the current units, and I won't really elaborate on previous units, cos lots of people used to be in like 3 different groups and I'm a lazy person. I'm also not even going into all of the current units, cos like I said, I'm a lazy person and I was too lazy to figure out who all the Jr. Boys and the 'Fresh Jrs.' were. XD
Plus, it's not like anyone really cares about the Kansai Jrs., is it? It's not like there are people who obsessively watch K8 concerts to catch a glimpse of them, are there? if there are, then I hereby apologise XD But apparently there's a kid from Sweden among the 'Fresh Jrs.' and also a half Malaysian kid.
/random facts
Also didn't include the Nagoya Jrs. cos wtf, Nagoya Jrs?!
oh, and I don't really hate all Toma fangirls.. I swear, just the whiny ones XD
I also apologise for the fact that it ended up looking like a DBSG picspam because of the many Korean watermarks. XD Korean fansites own my soul. ♥

Inoo Kei, everyone knows Inoo. And he played Massu's little brother in Gachi Baka ^^
Hashimoto Ryosuke. Practically 'the lead singer of the band'
Morimoto Ryutaro, 'the chibi one'
Arioka Daiki. The cool one. ♥
Asaka Kodai. 'the hot one' "Hello hell. ^^"
Fukazawa Tatsuya 'the one with the huge eyebrows'
Takaki Yuya 'the oldest'
Kamei Taku. Erm.. the other one?
aw, they even have slumberpartyshoots. don't all JE groups? XD
including donut-breakfasts.
Yuuto will probably be the new Jr. leader later in a few years, considering they way JE has been pimping him. You either really love Yuuto or you want to strangle his little neck, so the people who'll go with the latter will just have to get over that urge, I guess.
THEY HAVE PANDA-THEMED SHOOTS!
LOVE THEM!
At least love Arioka, cos I'll hunt you down if you don't.
K, so Matsumoto Kouhei & Inoo were like BFF before JE created all these silly new units and put Matsumoto in Kis-My-Ft and Inoo in some unit with some current Kisumai members, called MINT, which no one remembers, but then JJ Express was created and they were finally reunited and then Ma-chan totally disappeared again last year and Esther got all emo.
J.J. Express - Superstar
J.J. Express - JJ Express Medley
J.J. Express - Love Me Baby
J.J. Express - Yamadera no Oshou-san
J.J. Express - Genki wo Dashite
J.J. Express - Stronger Without You
Ori's! And they sing Back in Time in the JJ Express medley, which also contains wicked cool fabtastic renditions of sempai songs. Love Me Baby and Superstar are the best songs ever, so make sure you at least download those.
Question?
There's just three of them now, but Daisuke sort of joined them as they didn't have a keyboard player, so he's kind of in both units now.
Noda Yuya used to be with them as well, but he left and joined M.A.D. So now it's Yodogawa Yoshihiro on drums, Fujiie Kazuyori on bass, and Yonemura Daijiro as the vocalist, and also on guitar. And recently another guy joined them, Igoo Akun, as their lead guitarist.
So this is the current line-up.
Question? - Holy Heaven
Question? - Precious Memories
Question? - Kanjitemiro
FiVe
I know near to nothing about these guys. But I'll give it a shot.
Meet FiVe. They're the back-up band during Shokura's and performances and they've even had their own gigs with Jimmy. They're not as shiny as some of the other groups, but Daisuke is très adorable and Ryota is just tall, dark 'n handsome and totally Jimmy's boytoy.
So that's...
...Uesato Ryota on bass
..Nakaegawa Rikiya on the guitar
..Makino Koji behind the drums
..and of course Ishigaki Daisuke (actor Ishigaki Yuma's little brother) on keyboard.
Random Jrs.
I kind of felt the need to include them, cos they're three Juniors who kind of stand out I guess, lol.
Goto Hiromi
Goto Hiromi is the violinkid. You might have noticed him during some Seishun Amigo performances and during the Music Station medley, which had a wicked cool intro. I just like violins, so he earns 35000 points by being the violinkid. XD hiromi go.. hiromi goto.. namae.. ga niteru(8)
Tomita Mao
Tomita Mao is the twirlkid. He was actually interviewed during the latest Shokura's Jr. ni Q I believe. Apparently he's been twirling ever since he was 3. wtf. And he used to be in Kis-My-Ft, but wasn't everyone? XD This kid has mad skillz and actually enters competitions and stuff. I had no idea who he was, so I googled him up and found lots of twirling sites which listed him in rankings and stuff. I had no idea what his name was, so I googled him up on terms of バトン (baton) and Jr.ニQ (Jr. ni Q, obviously XD), which only led me to realise that most Japanese fangirls had no idea who he was either and just named him baton-kun, or 'the twirling kid', so it took me quite a while to find his name XD
Joey Tee
You either hate Joey or you love him. Most people hate him though. He was introduced in the Shokura Tegoshi produced, and he was like: "Hi, I'm Joey Tee, I'm 11 years old, I'm from LA... *continues to blab on in English*" I thought he was hilarious back then (he actually wore this exact same shirt, which was one of the reasons for my amusement), but I haven't seen him actually doing anything other than dance around with the Jr Boys since that episode, so I'm yet to form an actual opinion about this kid.
kity. everyone knows and hates the kity.
Kitayama, Inoo, Tottsu, Yaotome.
M.A.
Yonehara Tsuyoshi, Yara Tomoyuki, Machida Shingo, Akiyama Jun.
IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND ANYTHING ON THESE GUYS! Well, maybe not, I just don't really care about them. Sure, they're fab dancers, and sure, Akiyama Jun is hot and was also in Stand by Me, but these guys are in their mid-twenties, so I hardly count them as Jrs. So you're not getting any pics, nor any info, cos I simply don't know. If I would've paid attention to their interview on the first Shokura Premium I would've undoubtedly been able to tell you something about them, but I didn't, cos I was too busy dozing of to that show's utter boringness. I know they backdance for things like Shock, and I also know that Akiyama Jun is probably the oldest Jr. evahr considering he's older than Ohno Satoshi. Oh, and M.A. stands for Musical Academy, in case you were wondering.
M.A.D.
Musical Academy Dance. I'm not sure why the Dance was added, as far was I know MA only dance as well. Don't really care that much for these kids either, hell, I knew like 3 of the members cos they used to be in other units. I'm a superficial teenybopper and they don't have catchy songs like some of the others do, and they're not as shiny either, so you're getting faces with names and that'll be it. XD M.A.D. usually just back-up at cons as well, as far as I know they don't have any originals.
I feel bad for these guys, considering lots of their old bandmates are in groups like Kisumai now, and they're stuck forever backdancing for Arashi and the likes.
Kansai Jrs.
No one really cares about the Kansai Jrs, do they? XD As far as I know there are only three units + the obligatory random Jrs. running around.
The Kansai Boys. yo. They're actually really adorable, and I actually like them, so there.
Yamasaki Kunta (who is too effing adorable for anyone's good), Hayashi Matori, Nakata Daichi, Hamada Takahiro.
I'm never really sure about the members, cos I'm sure there were 6 of them at one point, but this is the current line-up.
Kansai Boys - Chance
Kansai Boys - Tsurugi no Mai
Both from Kanjani8's Spirits!! DVD.
and B.A.D. It stands for Beautiful American Dream.
Muro Ryuta, Kiriyama Akito, Nakama Junta, Ito Masashi.
B.A.D. - Tomaranai Omoi - Iseijin
Also from Spirits!!
and Kansai M.A.D... Schmansai M.A.D. my apologies.
Thai Jrs./G-Juniors
aka GOLF & MIKE
the 'G' stands for Grammy, which is the biggest Thai entertainment production company. GMM Grammy basically owns the Thai pop industry, lol. There are actually a whole lot of G-JUNIORS, loads of girls as well, but as far as I know only Golf & Mike are involved with Johnny's.
Credits are on the pics. Except for the pics I randomly found online and those I janked off Hadaka no Johnny's, My Happy Town, Little Jr Heaven and pretty_paradise.
And if I said something really stupid and untrue somewhere, feel free to correct me.
Now go join ambitious_boys and yayayah, jjexpress, crazy_accel and kis_my_ft2 if you know what's good for you.
AND PIMP THIS OUT TO EVERYONE!!! Cos I want the next group to debut to become as overrated as kat-TuN.
UPDATED! JJE and Kisumai now have personal pics. XD And updated Question? and 'kity'. I'll probably update the Kansai Jrs. after having watched the September Shounen Clubs cos the whole B.A.D./Kansai BOYS screwing around confuses me at the moment. XD
