SixTONES

SixTONES is a vibrant Japanese boy band that burst onto the scene in 2020 under Johnny & Associates (now SMILE-UP.), instantly capturing attention with their genre-blending mix of J-pop, rock, and hip-hop. Composed of six charismatic members—Jesse, Taiga Kyomoto, Hokuto Matsumura, Yugo Kochi, Shintaro Morimoto, and Juri Tanaka—the group’s name reflects their mission to showcase six distinct "tones" or personalities through their music. Known for high-energy tracks like "BOYZ" and "THE BALLERS," they’ve built a reputation for anthemic hooks and theatrical performances, while also exploring softer, introspective sounds in songs like "音色" (Neiro) and live acoustic renditions such as "Strawberry Breakfast -Live on MTV Unplugged-."

Since their debut single "Imitation Rain," a collaboration with X Japan’s Yoshiki that topped Japan’s Oricon charts, SixTONES has consistently dropped fresh releases like the edgy "DRAMA" and the uplifting "アンセム" (Anthem). Their music often weaves playful experimentation with nods to rock legends, earning them a passionate global fanbase. Whether they’re serving slick choreography or raw live-band energy, SixTONES keeps fans hooked with their genre-hopping versatility and cheeky camaraderie, solidifying their spot as one of Japan’s most dynamic idol groups.
