History
2005–2010: As Johnny's Jr.
In August 2005, two Johnny's Jr. units, Kis-My-Ft. and A.B.C.Jr., combined to form Kis-My-Ft2. The name came from the first letter of each of their family names: Hiromitsu Kitayama, Kyōhei Iida, Kento Senga, Toshiya Miyata, Wataru Yokoo, Taisuke Fujigaya, Yūta Tamamori and Takashi Nikaidō (ni being Japanese for the number two). They performed as an eight-member group until the end of March 2006 when Iida left Johnny's to pursue his studies.
In 2008, they held their first solo concerts (along with A.B.C-Z) at Yokohama Arena and Yoyogi Stadium and planned further performances.
In 2009, they performed a stage play with Uchi Hiroki and Yara Tomoyuki. They performed at the Playzone 2009, which until then had always been performed by Shōnentai.
In 2010, they performed concerts under the title Kis-My-Ftに010 逢えるdeShow. That year also marked their CM debut. They got to do CM for dwango.jp, where they also released two digital singles: "Fire Beat" and "Inori". In September, they performed a musical with A.B.C-Z called Shōnen-tachi ~Kōshi Naki Rōgoku~. They closed the year with additional concerts in late December and early January.
2011: Debut
During a concert on February 12, 2011, they announced that they were to have their debut in May under Avex. However, due to the Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, the CD release was postponed until the following summer.
On August 10, 2011, they released their debut single "Everybody Go!". This was released domestically and in Taiwan, the Philippines, Hong Kong, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia and South Korea. They followed this with their first concert at Tokyo Dome on August 28, which was the shortest period from a debut release to a Tokyo Dome concert for any musical artist.
During the Tokyo Dome concert, it was announced that in 2012 the group would tour all of Japan's prefectures, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Thailand and Singapore.
On October 26, 2011, the group released two concert DVDs: Kis-My-Ft2 ni Aeru de Show vol.3 and Kis-My-Ft2 Debut Tour 2011 Everybody Go. On December 14, the group released their second single "We Never Give Up!".
2012–present
From January 14 to March 17, 2012, group member Fujigaya Taisuke took part in NTV drama Risou no Musuko as Mifune Kengo.
On March 21, the group released their third single "SHE!HER!HER!".[2] The single was used as Watering Kiss Mint's CM music, released in two different versions with various promotional materials. It immediately topped the Oricon Weekly Single ranking with 192,937 copies sold.
On March 28, the group released their first album Kis-My-1st with various limited editions containing promotional materials.[3] The group further promoted the album with a national tour from March 31 to June 6.
In 2014, the group ranked fourth in Japan by total sales revenue, with ¥5.258 billion.[4]
In 2016, the group marked their fifth anniversary with a concert in Tokyo Dome and many neighboring prefectures. These concerts included spectacles such as a 20-metre (66 ft) wadaiko drum and a 2-ton water jet. Concert attendance exceeded 2 million, a record for a Johnny's group.
They released the single "Sha-La-La Summer Time".
