In EXILE, he sang around 200 songs, produced 11 original albums, and toured 15. With the new corona virus, EXILE ATSUSHI faced himself again and thought about his future life, and as he became more motivated to challenge new dreams as a solo artist in a limited time, he reached the turning point of 40 years. I decided to leave EXILE on that occasion. The feeling of deciding to graduate from the group without waiting for EXILE’s 20th debut anniversary next year is described in EXILE ATSUSHI’s book “Sign” released on November 12.

I have just started to understand and learn how this world I live in. So I really believe that this is the beginning of my true life.

EXILE HIRO said, “It’s hard to say that ATSUSHI, who has been going through a difficult time since debut, will start towards a new dream, but I myself graduated from the group seven years ago and EXILE HIRO. EXILE, I think ATSUSHI will carry EXILE on their back and express EXILE through solo activities, not as a group from now on, “ATSUSHI told EXILE. It makes you feel a bit lonely, but EXILE, which you love, will remain forever through various entertainments and works, inherited by new generations, and ATSUSHI himself will continue to express EXILE alone. I feel like it will lead to the future in various ways, ”he said, with expectations for the development of EXILE. Also, “It may be premature at this point, but I think we will definitely be able to see the collaboration between EXILE ATSUSHI and the new EXILE in the near future, so I hope each member continues to look forward to EXILE with enthusiasm.” Masu “also mentions the collaboration between EXILE ATSUSHI and the new EXILE.

EXILE ATSUSHI comment

AlwaysThank you for your warm support of EXILE.
Today I have some important news from me, so I hope you read it.

It has been approximately 20 years since I joined the J Soul Brothers at the age of 21 in 2001 and made my debut as EXILE on September 27, 2001. This year, I am 40 years old and EXILE is about to celebrate its 20th anniversary on next year. ..

Meanwhile, the new corona virus has created a social situation the world has never experienced, and it is time to look back on my life. At the same time, I was very aware that my life time is finite and as an artist, as a human being, I think about how I should live in my future life after 40 years. converted.

As a result of seriously thinking about how to live in the future, in 2020, in the milestone year of 40 years, I decided to return to the starting point as a singer and start a new activity to face music, and this time my name EXILE. I decided to graduate and focus on my solo activities after breaking up the activities of the group that brought everything.

Regarding the detailed changes in my heart and feelings on why I decided to make such a decision, I wrote all my thoughts in the book “Signing” to be published on November 12, so here. I would like to omit it.

This time, the form of EXILE will change again when I leave.
Change shape and evolve. This is how EXILE has decided, and it is also the fate of EXILE.

From now on, 14 members will play a central role in expressing “EXILE” in EXILE’s performance as a vocal and dance group, but even now, HIRO, MATSU, USA, and MAKIDAI. Mr. is also still EXILE, and each of the 19 EXILES carries EXILE in a different place and in a different way, expressing what EXILE should be. I think this kind of existence is a form of “EXILE” that has never existed in the form of artists until now.

EXILE for me has been everything in my life since I debuted at 21 years old. At the end of each year, we have spent the year with EXILE, spring with EXILE, summer with EXILE, fall with EXILE, and winter with EXILE.

In the last 20 years of activity, I noticed that the group alone has sung around 200 songs, released 11 original albums, done 15 tours, and 115 solo songs there. I think I’ve been sprinting on a schedule that is arguably reckless, with three solo tours.

Everything was possible to overcome thanks to the fans who supported me. I’m still really grateful.

thank you.

Whenever I need it, I would like to cooperate with HIRO and the members to create EXILE songs together, like writing lyrics, composing songs and directing songs, and I will continue to be proud of it. I want to continue living as one of the members of EXILE.

I feel like at 40 is the last time I can challenge myself as a singer to move on to the next stage.
How many more tours can be done and how many more songs can be released to the world? Even if I can stay healthy until I’m 80, even if I can tour every year until I’m 60, can I do 20 times as much? If so, I would like to complete 20 tours that I will not regret in my future life as a singer and as a singer.

And he had already signed an album production contract with the “1500 or Nothin ‘” music production team dealing with Bruno Mars, etc. and I was preparing for activities abroad, but the project was stopped once by this new corona virus. .. However, now it is gradually resuming the movement. It’s important to start large-scale overseas activities in the future, absorb and grow while learning various things, and continue to grow, but I feel like this is the only time to fly big. I did.

Seizing the opportunity of a new challenge from the age of 40, I want to take my own life one step further through the dreams that I have had in my heart for many years, my way of life as a person and my activities as an individual. I am sure that little by little you will be able to understand the meaning by looking at my activities like solo musical activities and charity activities in the future.

After 20 years of experience and learning, I began to understand not only as an artist but also a little bit about society, and I learned the mechanism of this world in which I live. So I really believe that this is the beginning of my true life.

I would like to continue singing in the hope that my singing prayer can be of benefit even to one person, so I would be grateful if you could take good care of EXILE and EXILE ATSUSHI in the future.

EXILE HIRO comment

As ATSUSHI previously announced, EXILE ATSUSHI graduated from EXILE as a group and will be concentrating on solo activities like EXILE ATSUSHI.

ATSUSHI, who has been going through difficult times since their debut, is deeply moved towards a new dream, but I myself graduated from the group seven years ago and what EXILE should be like EXILE HIRO. I think ATSUSHI will carry EXILE on his back and express EXILE through solo activities, not as a group from now on, as he has pursued.

It makes fans feel a bit lonely, but EXILE, which you love, will remain forever through various entertainments and works, will be inherited by new generations, and ATSUSHI himself will continue to express EXILE as a solo. So, I feel like it will lead to the future in various ways.

At the age of 40, I also signed an album production contract with the LA music production team “1500 or Nothin ‘” as a challenge to a new dream, and also support ATSUSHI who is trying to challenge the activities in the foreigner seriously. I would like to continue and I have high expectations for EXILE ATSUSHI’s solo activities.

Also, although it may be premature at this point, I think that we will definitely be able to see the collaboration between EXILE ATSUSHI and the new EXILE in the near future, so I hope that each member will continue to view EXILE’s path with enthusiasm. I will.

And EXILE as a group has already started moving as a group of 14 people. I would like you to look forward to the powerful performance of the new EXILE, and I think they will be actively working from the end of the year until next, so please look forward to it.

We would like to continue to work as one with the LDH team to provide a variety of entertainment that is sure to please our fans without losing to Corona. Thanks for your support.
