Vol. 5 EXILE

This week, I'll introduce a Japanese group, EXILE. I love them enough to enter their fan club.

EXILE is a group that has vocalists and performers. There were 7 people ( 2 vocalists and 5 performers) in this group at first. But one of the vocalists left the group, so they held an audition to find a new vocalist. Since the new vocalist was decided in an audition, they've become one of the most famous groups in Japan. Now, there are 19 people (2 vocalists and 17 performers) in EXILE. And they have gotten awards many times. For example, they got the Japan Record Award (日本レコード大賞）, MTV Video Music Award Japan, a Japan Gold Disk Award (日本ゴールドディスク大賞） and more. 

When I heard their song in a Japanese drama for the first time, I became a fan of theirs.  I didn't know them at the time, so I searched for the singer is name in the ending credits. I noticed that I had learned dance with an EXILE song. Since then, I've loved listening to their songs and learning their dances. Many of their songs are used in dramas, movies and TV commercials, so perhaps you have heard some of their songs.

Today's song was their first release since they became 19 people this summer. This song's name is "NEW HORIZON". This song's words were written by one of the vocalists and you can watch each member dance in this video.
