Japanese Boy Band V6 Will Disband This November
InuYasha and
Ultraman Tiga, will disband on their 26th anniversary. [Thanks, Bunshun.]
The main reason for V6’s disbandment is that Go Morita, one of the group members, is set to leave Johnny & Associates on November 1, 2021. The agency, better known as Johnny’s, manages the group along with all its members. As V6 cannot perform unless all six members are present, the remaining members decided to disband the group altogether.
The six-man group debuted on November 1, 1995. V6 has two sub-groups: The 20th Century group consisting the three older members Masayuki Sakamoto, Hiroshi Nagano, and Yoshihiko Inohara, and the Coming Century group comprised of the younger members Go Morita, Ken Miyake, and Junichi Okada. Although Coming Century will also disband with Go Morita’s exit, Johnny’s is still keeping 20th Century intact.
