国境超えた!山P新ユニット結成

 山下智久(21)を中心とするジャニーズ事務所の新ユニットが結成される。ユニット名は「kitty G YM」。タイの人気アイドルGOLF(19)とMIKE(16)が参加して、国境を超えたグループになる。

 ユニット名のGYMはGOLF、山下、MIKEの頭文字。スポーツ施設などを意味する「gym(ジム)」 とかけた。「kitty」には子供も含め、世代を超えて親しんでもらいたいとの意味が込められ ている。

 山下はこれまでも「NEWS」「修二と彰」、ソロと、さまざまな形態で活動。国境を超えた新ユニットに「日本やタイはもちろん、他のアジアの人々にも僕らのことを知ってもらえればうれしい」とコメント。「グローバルに活動していきたいので、これがきっかけになれば」と海外進出も視野に入れている。

 山下ら3人に、今後選ばれるジャニーズJrのメンバー4人が加わり、計7人で編成。フジテレビが放送する「2006ワールドグランプリ女子バレーボール大会」(8月18日~9月10日)のスペシャルサポーターを務めるため、期間限定で活動する。大会イメージソングを日本語で歌唱するほか、会場に登場して大会を盛り上 げる予定。

 GOLFとMIKEはバンコク出身の兄弟で、現地では昨年11月に「GOLF&MIKE」としてデビュー。ジャニーズJrのタイ版「G―Junior」として活動し、日本でもNEWSの公演に参加したことがある。GOLFは「以前、山下君と交換した携帯ストラップを大切に持っています。日本のファンにまた会えるのも楽しみです。音楽に国境はありません」と抱負。MIKEは「日本でもアーティストとしての人生が始まると思 うとドキドキします」と話している。

 ≪タイでも“ジャニーズ”活動≫「タッキー&翼」「KAT―TUN」らジャニーズの所属タレントは、5年ほど前からタイの音楽祭に積極的に出演したり、現地公演も行ってきた。02年7月には「G―Junior」が誕生。GOLFとMIKEは第1期生で、現在も約30人のメンバーが在籍している。マネジメントは、日本ではジャニーズ事務所が行い、現地では同事務所と友好関係にあるタイ最大手の芸能プロダクション「グラミー」が担当。2人は、フジテレビのイベント「お台場冒険王」に連動して東京・台場の「ホテル グランパシフィック メリディアン」で行われる「ジャニーズJrの大冒険」への出演も決まっている。

YamaP what? Kitty GYM? I don't care about the song, I just want a hot video. w00t.
Quote from: Suki*
It will be hot. Most definitely. If it's not hot, I'm writing in to complain!!
Quote from: linlin
golf - mike.. eww... why... why johny?! (or who ever responsible)
Quote from: Rei-chan
I don't like that "kitty" title for a male group >_>

Let's all look forward to more kittyGYM news in the near future!

According to Yamapi's blog he had an interview yesterday with Gold and Mike. Also, this past weekend, or was it the weekend before? I'm not sure. But within the last week or so they recorded the Kity GYM ShounenClub performance and it's supposed to air in September. So I'm assuming it will be a Septmeber or so release.

hmm... I can't help but feel a tad disappointed with the lineup for this group. I can think of several more Juniors whom I personally feel would be more deserving of a place in this group. Then again, that's just how I feel. I might in all probably change my tune again when the song comes out coz hey! Johnnys + Yamap sells ANYTHING! ^o^

Just to make it clear, the T in kity is Tomita Mao, not Totsu as we all thought first :)

The song sounds... well, catchy, but nothing special with this quality. I'll wait for radio rip. But I think I heard fever bit too many times already ^^;

Oops!!! XDDD I forgot to put in the name of the folder that I share files in. XDDDD It's working now. :P

I kinda wonder though. Coz even on the news clip it was just GYM, which was why I typed it as such, Are they dropping the Juniors from the group?

Ahh, just watched the news clip now.  Yeah, the kitty part of kittyGYM has suspiciously vanished altogether. XD  Oh well.   Guess it was taking away from the YamaP-worshipping. :sweatdrop:

In the clip, Golf&Mike's dancing seemed a little.. messy.  I was a bit disappointed in that.  Also, YamaP is still being given the ugliest costumes ever! XD

Btw, where the heck are Golf and Mike from? Their japanese (and dancing) seemed a little shabby. Or maybe that was just me lol

They're from Thailand.  Part of the Thai Johnnys.  Like someone had touched on at another board, they speak great english, terrible japanese. :P

So, AFTER ALL, it IS Totsuka Shouta NOT Tomita Mao. Source: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5JgBXzhhloc

Are you guys ready for a PV preview?  Nice afro on YamaP! ;)

kittyGYM - Fever to Future (Mezamashi 06.07.19) (http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=download&ufid=3E2C60D04952F32A)

Also, the Kitty is back in kittyGYM, and to add to the confusion, Totsuka is shown in the video, which means he is still part of kitty.  However, other reports have said Tomita.  My guess is that they swap in and out depending on the performance and that they make up the two T's of kitty.

EDIT:I look dumb now! XD I was uploading the video and I had my post waiting, but in the meantime I had to run to a quick appointment downstairs.  I get back, and half my post is outdated. XD

According to the official Johnny's Entertainment site, Hokago Blues will be a YamaP solo, and Run for your love will only feature Golf&Mike.

Also, the site is referring to the group as just GYM, as well.  They like to make a hassle!

xD Not too keen on My Angel, but the other song + Pi-afro is stuck in my head, even though I've only heard the chorus of the song.

Btw, anybody else thing that Golf & Mike looked especially cute in the PV preview, but in that clip of the live on SC they just looked So-so? Oh the wonders of CGI and good Editing!
Title: The Official GYM Thread : Special Johnnys Unit
Post by: Rei-chan on July 24, 2006, 04:03:30 AM
So... I'm confused. In the performance, the signs on the screen only said GYM and it seemed like it really was only Golf + YamaP + Mike... Also in the interview, only those 3 were interviewed. Is Kitty GYM a subunit of GYM?  Or is it that Kitty GYM doesnt exist now and it's only GYM?

As for comments on the perf, YamaPi looked like he was the only one who could dance well and with energy. The other guys were just totally limp when dancing. The one in the left more than the one in the right lol... But physically, they fit really well into Johnny's.

Post by: Chatin on July 24, 2006, 04:27:58 AM
On a commercial for the volleyball team, they featured the song and all seven members of kittyGYM, and flashed the name "kittyGYM".  So I'm guessing they just say GYM and feature the three core members when they have interviews.  That one performance seems.. to be the odd one out.
Title: The Official GYM Thread : Special Johnnys Unit
Post by: suki* on July 25, 2006, 09:41:33 AM
Actually, the mere name of the group sums it up perfectly.

kittyGYM : No prizes for guessing why 'Y' is not only capitalised but also in bigger font than 'G' and 'M' and why the "negligible members" are all in small letters... >_<

The harshness of it all... :cry:

It's short, and towards the end there's nothing but a bunch of Volleyball clips, but the bit of the PV at the beginning and the song are great. It's so damn catchy! xD And the boys are so cute.

Mike's got a chubbier face due to him being younger. And Golf well... doesn't xD Mike also has more feminine/delicate eyes, while Golf's are all I AM MAN.

I thought that they were twins at first though, but now it's not too hard to pick them apart.

Wink Up spelled Fever with an I!!! XD  Other than that, the fish comparison is pretty right on.  They are as boring as fish. XD  My anticipation for this single is so minimal.  I was more excited for Shounentai. :sweatdrop:

LOL! Oh gosh I haven't been keeping up with this thread or the news on gYm. But that picture is pretty funny xD

I must say though, that the more magazine scans I see of Mike, the cuter he gets. And he speaks english! :heart: Golf owns that black and white shot though, and YamaP looks really... old. :(

Thanks for all of the piccies and single though Chatin.

Finally getting a chance to listen to the tracks. XD  YamaPs solo didn't really do much for me, but I love Golf & Mike's Run for your love.  Great song.. and in english to boot! Yay! XD

@ Suki: if you look at the pictures, they usually put them in order. So it's Golf, YamaP :inlove:, and then Mike :heart: (L to R) xD If that'll help you distinguish them for now. Though they've got their names everywhere in huge flamboyant letters so... err... yeah ^^;

And G&M speak english because they were raised in Australia and then they moved to Thailand (?) and started their careers.

I loved the Hey Hey Hey! appearance, though the only really entertaining part was whenever Mike would smile :heart:, and when Hamada got put through the massage xD

In a twist of fate that shocked even me, GYM's single fell to No. 2 on the Oricon daily charts, beaten out by the Kaoru Amane single from the popular dorama Taiyo no Uta.  Whether GYM will rise to No. 1 on the daily charts again or not will have to be seen.

Meanwhile, TOKIO's Sorafune/do!do!do! has risen from No. 4 back up to No. 3 on the Oricon daily charts despite already being on it's second week of release.

Number 2 :o

Wow. Johnny's not number 1 is shocking. But especially because it's Yamapi!

hmm... Somehow I'm not really very surprised. GYM, even with Yamap, seems to be the weakest unit to come out of Johnnys in recent times... >_<

Maybe they need a TV show/ movie to give them a power-up! :o Shuji & Akira had 'Nobuta wo Produce' and Toraji.Haji had 'Fantastipo'... ;)

^ I wasn't really excited about the release myself. And the song is kinda corny, but Mike's grown on me, and it's YamaP so... :heart:

And I don't think they need a TV show, they've got Volleyball right? xD

xD From the ratings I've seen it raking in... I wouldn't have expected to be at number 1. But hey, good for Sawajiri.

looking forward~~~~

They're contracted to JE aren't they? I wonder if they will have any other Japanese releases of their own...
Title: The Official GYM Thread : Special Johnnys Unit
Post by: fuyumi on December 10, 2006, 11:41:06 AM
I don't think they will... GYM sold about 226k and that shows that no one cares a shit about Golf and Mike. It was just like a Yamapi single minus the Kurosagi factor plus two boring guys who most likely made people not buy instead of making them buy. Okay, maybe the song wasn't as good as Daite Senorita which was part of it too but...

I think I heard that they were gonna work with JE again after their 2nd album is out. There must be something about them that Johnny-san likes. :/

I just saw their family (dad, 2 older bors and their lil sis) on tv. I'm not a fan of them but their family was super cute.

Post by: Rei-chan on December 10, 2006, 07:12:02 PM
I think Golf & Mike probably should just have some kind of intensive training in JE lol...  They sing well, but really lack charisma. And Mike can't dance. So yeah, they should be trained in idol-ness by Johnny~

tama, you don't think much of G&M? :P

I would like to have a listen of stuff that they released in Thailand. Watch and see what it is that they do. That would probably be the best way to see why Kitagawa likes them. I'm currently of the same mindset with Fuyumi in that G&M are kinda unremarkable and that the group sold what they did due to Yamap's popularity coz the single on the whole was:ONgyaaah:... >_<

Their stuff is not bad at all I think. Chatin showed me a lot of their thai singles and PVs and they were quite nice. I'll try to find some of them and post them here.

It was interesting to see them covering some T&T songs ^o^


EDIT:

I like their slow songs, not so much their more hip-hop-ish (or whatever they are) ones. These PVs are so cute.

Golf & Mike - Yah-len-bab-nee (PV)

Golf & Mike - Talok Dee
[yt]Dmg0Kk-0CAY[/yt]

Golf & Mike - Kae Krung Diew
[yt]j1GHFW1K8g0[/yt]


I hadn't seen this: :ONding:

GYM - Fever to Future (PV Making)
[yt]z7AXbVYiPXc[/yt]


Anyway, they're pretty boys, can sing, Golf can dance, and they already have their own fanbase in their country. I don't see why it's so hard to conceive for ppl that Johnny would want this kind of collaboration with them. He gets to sell a lot in Japan AND Thailand. If he got to sell a LOT, he could've made them release more stuff for profits, and if not, he just called them a one-shot special unit and forget it. No losses either way. In any case, he wins over new fans from Thailand. :ONbigdeal:
