Kis-My-Ft2
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 Starto Entertainment, noted in Japanese media for incorporating roller-skating into their stage performances.
The group was formed on 26 July 2005 while the members were trainees (Johnny's Jr.). On 12 February 2011, during a concert tour, they received a surprise announcement of their official debut in what later became known as the "brown envelope" event. They made their CD debut on 10 August 2011.
Since their debut, Kis-My-Ft2 has achieved multiple number-one singles and albums on the Oricon charts and has held large-scale arena and dome tours across Japan, including performances at Tokyo Dome. The group has also appeared on NHK’s annual music program Kōhaku Uta Gassen.
The group debuted as a seven-member act including Hiromitsu Kitayama; following his departure in August 2023, Kis-My-Ft2 has continued as a six-member group. The current members are Kento Senga, Toshiya Miyata, Wataru Yokoo, Taisuke Fujigaya, Yuta Tamamori, and Takashi Nikaido.
They are signed to MENT Recording, a joint label established by Avex Inc. and Johnny & Associates.
Notable releases include their debut single "Everybody Go", their highest-selling single "Thank You Jan!", and the drama theme song "Luv Bias", which received an award in 2021.
The name is derived from the initials of its members’ surnames, as well as a reference to an anecdote in which tap dancer Gregory Hines kissed the shoe of Sammy Davis Jr.
