Kis-My-Ft2 (キスマイフットツー, Kisu Mai Futto Tsū, "Kiss My Foot Two") is a six-member Japanese boy band under Johnny & Associates, with members Kento Senga, Toshiya Miyata, Wataru Yokoo, Taisuke Fujigaya, Yuta Tamamori and Takashi Nikaidō.
The group was a former Johnny's Jr. unit which debuted on August 10, 2011.[1] They have sold more than 10 million copies in Japan, and have total concert attendance exceeding 2 million.
In January 2022, Kis-My-Ft2 moved from label Avex Trax to MENT Recording. MENT Recording is a newly established joint label between Avex Entertainment and Johnny & Associates. Other Johnny's group under Avex Trax, Snow Man, moved to MENT Recording as well.[2][3]
In August 2005, two Johnny's Jr. units, Kis-My-Ft. and A.B.C.Jr., combined to form Kis-My-Ft2. The name came from the first letter of each of their family names: Hiromitsu Kitayama, Kyōhei Iida, Kento Senga, Toshiya Miyata, Wataru Yokoo, Taisuke Fujigaya, Yūta Tamamori and Takashi Nikaidō (ni being Japanese for the number two). They performed as an eight-member group until the end of March when Iida left Johnny's to pursue his studies, according as to what was reported in some magazines.[4] The intention of the group was to model off of another popular Johnny's group Hikaru Genji, and cover their songs while also using roller skates during their performances.
In 2008, they held their first solo concerts (along with A.B.C-Z) at Yokohama Arena and Yoyogi Stadium and planned further performances.[citation needed]
In 2009, they performed a stage play with Uchi Hiroki and Yara Tomoyuki. They performed at the Playzone 2009, which until then had always been performed by Shōnentai.[citation needed]
In 2010, they performed concerts under the title Kis-My-Ftに010 逢えるdeShow. That year also marked their commercial messaging (CM) debut. They got to do CM for dwango.jp, where they also released two digital singles: "Fire Beat" and "Inori". In September, they performed a musical with A.B.C-Z called Shōnen-tachi ~Kōshi Naki Rōgoku~. They closed the year with additional concerts in late December and early January.[citation needed]
During a concert on February 12, 2011, they announced that they were to have their debut in May under Avex. However, due to the Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, the CD release was postponed until the following summer.[citation needed]
On August 10, 2011, they released their debut single "Everybody Go!". This was released domestically and in Taiwan, the Philippines, Hong Kong, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia and South Korea.[citation needed] They followed this with their first concert at Tokyo Dome on August 28, which was the shortest period from a debut release to a Tokyo Dome concert for any musical artist.[citation needed]
During the Tokyo Dome concert, it was announced that in 2012 the group would tour all of Japan's prefectures, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Thailand and Singapore.[citation needed]
On October 26, 2011, the group released two concert DVDs: Kis-My-Ft2 ni Aeru de Show vol.3 and Kis-My-Ft2 Debut Tour 2011 Everybody Go.[citation needed] On December 14, the group released their second single "We Never Give Up!".[citation needed]
On March 21, the group released their third single "SHE!HER!HER!".[5] The single was used as Watering Kiss Mint's[clarification needed] CM music, released in two different versions with various promotional materials. It immediately topped the Oricon Weekly Single ranking with 192,937 copies sold.[citation needed]
On March 28, the group released their first album Kis-My-1st with various limited editions containing promotional materials.[6] The group further promoted the album with a national tour from March 31 to June 6.[citation needed]
In 2014, the group ranked fourth in Japan by total sales revenue, with ¥5.258 billion.[7]
In 2016, the group marked their fifth anniversary with a concert in Tokyo Dome and many neighboring prefectures. These concerts included spectacles such as a 20-metre (66 ft) wadaiko drum and a 2-ton water jet. Concert attendance exceeded 2 million, a record for a Johnny's group.[citation needed]
They released the single "Sha-La-La Summer Time".[citation needed]
In March 2017, they released the single "Let's Go!" for the Japanese dub version of The Lego Batman Movie.[8] On the same time, the 18th single "INTER" (Tonight / Kimi no iru sekai / SEVEN WISHES) grabbed the top spot on Oricon weekly single ranking.[9] They also released their sixth album "MUSIC COLOSSEUM" on May 3, 2017.[10]
