While everyone was waiting for the Dragon Boat Festival holiday, Zhiling’s sister dropped a blockbuster on Weibo - the official announcement of marriage, the man is a Japanese boy band EXILE member AKIRA, formerly known as Kurosawa Ryohei.

Lin Chiling, who acted out a princess-prince love story with Jerry Yan under the eyes of everyone, got married without any trouble. (What are you doing, Taiwan’s paparazzi and Japan’s Wen Chun?)

Weibo was in a frenzy. Star friends and celebrity friends sent their blessings one after another, and the melon-eaters also left shocked question marks:

Today is not April Fools’ Day. ?

The groom is not Yan Chengxu?

Who is this person? What is

EXILE?

I saw the news as shown in the picture

Driven by curiosity, I went to search and found that this was not a male classmate without a story, and EXILE was not a simple combination.

AKIRA, whose real name is Kurosawa Ryohei, was born in Yamato City, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan on August 23, 1981. He is 7 years younger than sister Chiling.

In December 2004, 23-year-old AKIRA was seen by members of the EXILE group while performing a dance performance at CLUB, and they praised him as "a genius rarely seen in 100 years." Then he was invited to join RATHER UNIQUE, a group composed of two members of EXILE, a rapper, and a DJ.

In 2006, AKIRA appeared in the stage play "あたくNo.1" and debuted as an actor. Three months later, he was invited by EXILE members to officially join EXILE. Up to now, AKIRA has participated in nearly twenty movies and TV series, including the Hollywood movie "Silence" by Martin Scorsese, the director of "Shutter Island". In 2010, he also won the third film. Best Newcomer Award at the 19th Japan Critics Film Awards.

mentioned in AKIRA’s Weibo post yesterday that he and Lin Chiling met eight years ago in 2011 when they co-starred in the stage play "Chibi~Ai~", which happened to be the same year when Japanese media reported Kurosawa Ryohei and Nagasawa Masami are dating in secret. Reports say that their parents know each other and they can be regarded as "childhood sweethearts." In order to concentrate on dating AKIRA, Nagasawa Masami decided to give up Ninomiya Kazuya . Although the two finally broke up after half a year, it did prove that AKIRA has the potential to attract goddesses.

Ninomiya Kazuya

In fact, not only AKIRA, but the entire EXILE group can be called "goddess harvesters" -

captain Hiro married the heroine of " Hirugao " Aya Ueto;

member Takahiro married Japan's national beauty Saki Takei;

Based on the common aesthetics of the domestic melon-eating group, it is almost impossible to understand why such a good-looking person can be part of a group, and why she can marry an actress at the level of a national goddess.

But in fact, EXILE is very popular in Japan. Although because of their good physique, dark skin, and ordinary early appearance, fans have always called them the "migrant workers group" and fans call themselves "workers".

"What kind of magical combination is EXILE?"

EXILE does not refer to a combination. Just like the Johnny series and the AKB series, EXILE also refers to the EXILE series that includes multiple combinations. The company it belongs to is "LDH Co., Ltd." .

Speaking of this company and group, it can actually be regarded as a textbook operation. They broke the Johnny's family's monopoly on the Japanese male idol market with a routine that was completely opposite to that of Johnny's idols. They have won the Japan Grand Prize four times. (Japan’s most authoritative music award), no one has ever broken it. What is even more special about

is that LDH is a company where the members of the group are their own bosses. EXILE’s leader HIRO (formerly known as Hiroyuki Igarashi) has been the boss of LDH for a long time, even the members of the company’s EXILE.

In 2002, each of the six initial members of EXILE invested 500,000 yen, gathering together the company's registered capital of 3 million yen stipulated at the time, and established a company called "EXILE Entertainment". The next year, HIRO's friend Senya The modeling company "Surray Co., Ltd." run by you and others merged with EXILE Entertainment. After the merger, it was renamed LDH, which means "Love, Dream, Happiness". Since then, it has been extensively involved in entertainment agencies and other businesses in many fields. The group under

LDH never defines themselves as idols, but as artists who pay more attention to the quality of music and stage performance than their appearance. In the group, the lead singer and dancers are on equal footing, so in order to allow dancers to make money like artists, HIRO has established a new system.

This system started with the combination J Soul Brothers and has been launched for three generations so far. The first generation of J Soul Brothers officially changed their name to EXILE after lead singer SASA quit and two new lead singers ATSUSHI and SHUN joined. The Chinese name is " Bohemian Brothers ".

Starting from the second generation of J Soul Brothers, HIRO officially started the replacement of group members. It divided the group members into lead singers and performers. The lead singers were selected from the "VOCAL BATTLE AUDITION" (VBA) selection competition, while the performers were It mainly comes from the dance school EXPG, which started operating in 2003. This is also the first business that LDH extended beyond the entertainment agency.

Within the entire EXILE system, EXILE team members can form new groups with selected newcomers, which means they can be in two groups at the same time, and these two groups can also complete personnel updates and iterations at any time.

In 2011, LDH officially launched the EXILE TRIBE project. This project refers to a large-scale music performance project composed of EXILE and its members' derivative groups and personal performance projects, plus EXILE's series of male and female groups. In layman's terms, as long as you are LDH artists can be combined with other senior newcomers in various permutations and combinations.

Also in 2011, LDH also launched a plan called EXILE Pyramid, which was intended to accelerate EXILE's spin-off group and select more new people to join the project. The song style has also become more diversified from pure HIP HOP, and the members' The appearance and image have also been improved to some extent. The most representative one is Katayory Ryota , a member of the group GENERATIONS from EXILE TRIBE.

In February 2010, Ryota Katayose participated in the VBA audition to select the lead singer and successfully entered the final list of ten people. In 2012, he officially debuted as a member of the group.

Compared to the group, Ryota Katayose is well-known to domestic fans because of a manga adaptation called "My Brother Loves Me Too Much".

Although this is a romantic comedy with only five episodes and a very Mary Sue, the romantic and shameful plot has allowed the good-looking Ryota Katayose to capture a large number of viewers. In addition, Katayose Ryota has frequent domestic activities. So far, Katayose Ryota's Weibo fans have reached 1.83 million. This number actually exceeds the number of Jjia Yamashita Tomohisa 's Weibo fans.

"Large international company LDH"

LDH, founded by the members of the group, has not only done a good job in the music business, but after 17 years of development, its business has covered an astonishing number of fields.

is first of all in the field of artist management. LDH has artists in many fields such as music artists, actors, models, athletes, film directors, etc. Kiko Mizuhara was once an artist under LDH (yes, she was the one who was with G-Dragon). model). In order to let fans get involved faster, LDH will put together its own exclusive variety shows, information programs, movies, and exclusive magazines for the EXILE series. The content of the magazine will not only include EXILE artists, but also interviews with external artists.

In addition, LDH also has diversified development in catering, clothing, weddings, gym operations and other businesses, with the intention of building LDH into a well-known lifestyle brand in Japan.

In order to attract the attention of more EXILE fans, LDH established its own clothing brand 24karats. Every member of the migrant labor troupe will wear their own brand clothes during rehearsals. Almost everyone will bring the goods. In addition to the third generation Member NAOTO also founded his own fashion brand. As of this year, LDH has launched 8 clothing brands.

This restaurant will also launch food in line with the group's Live theme and set up stalls at the Live venue. Selling food. As of now, LDH kitchen has 13 stores in Japan and one overseas.

A professional dancer, a member of a nationally famous group, an actor who has participated in Hollywood movies... With the blessing of multiple identities, AKIRA is not an 18th-line star at all, nor is she someone who cannot match Lin Chiling.

People who are worried about sister Zhiling’s marriage and regret that the groom is not Yan Chengxu, it’s time to wake up and eat rice dumplings!
