In the June of 2006 Johnny Jimusho, the director of Johnny's Jr Enterntainment did something what shook the
community of fans Johnny's Jr that is he appointed the new team about the Hey! Say! 7. The new team officially
was introduced two months later at the concert of the group KAT-TUN, and release one's debut single the
Hey! Say!. In it nothing strange would be everything if not a fact that J.J.Express members made the 80% of the
new group. Cutting members of one group off in order to create second wasn't accepted too warmly through fans
Johnny's Jr on entire world. With anxiety they waited for the more distant sequence of these events. What's happend in Johnny's Jr.?
As if it was little, in
September 2007 is appointing it twin group Hey! Say! BEST into which he is incorporating next J.J.Express
members as well as two leaders Ya-Ya-yah. At the same time he is accomplishing the changing move in
new teams. In Hey! Say! 7 are staying younger boys in the age of 13-15 years, and to Hey! Say! BEST are getting
older boys in the age of 16-18 years, including the leaders of Ya-Ya-yah - Yabu Kota and Yaotome Hikaru. Both
groups are known under the common team called Hey! Say! JUMP (Johnny's Ultra Music Power),
But for the fans it
was too much. At first almost total J.J.Express liquidation, and now in addition an old and well-deserved quartet of
Ya-Ya-yah. That was tempted Johnny and he solved the group which already exists 5 years and has always been
applauded heartily by fans? Nobody doesn't know an answer to that question. Soon Hey! Say! JUMP are releasing together
next single about the Ultra Music Power name. The boycott of fans slowly faded away, they’re starting being interested in
a new group, which unlike Ya-Ya-yah and J.J.Express, is being promoted with the bigger swing and it’s releasing records.
A new era is beginning – it’s the "heisei" time...
