GENERATIONS from EXILE TRIBE

GENERATIONS from EXILE TRIBE are a J-pop group of singers and dancers who grew out of the Generations act that was part of the musical collective called Exile Tribe. Formed by the Japanese entertainment company LDH in 2013, the lineup includes singers Ryota Katayose and Ryuto Kazuhara along with dancers Hayato Komori, Reo Sano, Mandy Sekiguchi, Alan Shirahama, and Yuta Nakatsuka. Their eponymous debut album topped Japan's Oricon Albums Chart in 2013 as did Generation X in 2015 and Speedster in 2016. Their 2014 single "Never Let You Go" went to Number 6 on Billboard's Japan Hot 100, "All for You" (2015) reached Number 9, "Pierrot" (2016) Number 3 and "Big City Rodeo" (2017) Number 2. Their fifth studio album, Namida o Nagasenai Pierrot wa Taiyou mo Tsuki mo nai Sora o Miageta, peaked at Number 2 on the Japanese charts in 2017 as did a compilation release, Best Generation (2018). The single "Alright! Alright!" (2018) hit Number 36 on the Japan Hot 100 and "Shoot It Out" (2019) went to Number 14. Over the next few years, GENERATIONS from EXILE TRIBE continued to dominate the local charts, cracking the Top 5 of both the Oricon charts and the Billboard Japan Hot 100 with albums such as Shonen Chronicle (2019) and Up & Down (2021). In late 2022, the group announced the release of a new full-length during their Generation Live Tour at the Saitama Super Arena. X, their seventh studio effort, was released in 2023 via Rhythm Zone.
