Today (June 28), Yama$hita Tomohisa (21) of NEWS with Golf (19) and Mike (16), the Thai siblings and other 7 Jrs announced the formation of a new unit "kitty GYM", Johnny's first international unit. The unit will be the special supporters and will sing the cheering song for the "Woman's Volleyball World Grand Prix 2006" which will be telecasted by Fuji TV (starting August 18th). The unit will be active only this limited period.
It is a birth of Johnny's first international unit. The unit's name "kitty GYM" comes from the initials of the 3 name capital letters. President Johnny Kitagawa said that the group's name was designated from Volleyball which everyone from children (kitty) to adults can enjoy the sport (GYM).
Yama$hita said "I'm delighted that Asian people will get to know about us. I would like myself to be active globally and it's great that this could be that opportunity.
The brothers, Golf & Mike, which are the core of the group with Yama$hita, are an idol group which is the 1st gen of "Thai Junior", which is set up in 2002 with the co-orperation between Johnny's and the Thai record company. November last year, they debuted with their first album and last March, they just held their first independent concert with 5,000 audiences. They're tremendously popular in Thailand.
Johnny's also offered them the song, "Epilogue" of Tackey & Tsubasa to sing in this album. President Kitagawa applaused them that "their abilities to sing, dance, and their talents are without a doubt." They were invited to be guests in a concert of NEWS which Yama$hita was a member at the end of 2004 and they showed their talents there.
Golf said about Yama$hita that "he's a funny person but when working he concentrates. I'm glad to have a chance to work with him again." And Mike is also delightful and said "I always would like to work in Japan again so now I'm very honored."
As for activity of the unit will be for only limited period of World Grand Prix. The two will take charge of the Japanese cheering song. The other 4 members will be chosen from Johnny's Junior and will be announced later. The announcement will probably be the first match of Japan on August 18. (Ariake Colloseum, Tokyo)
