☆EXILE☆


Do you like dancing or singing? Do you like ballad or upbeat songs? Do you think only Korea or America that have the best entertainment???
Of course not! Japan have so many talented singer and dancer.. And of course their songs are great too! Japanese songs or as know as J-Pop, have their own unique side that other country don't have it. Their song's genre is various, the song's lyrics have a deep meaning (usually expressing about relationship with family, friends or lovers, and also about life, feelings of gratitude, etc..).
But sadly, they are not too popular outside Japan.. 


Okay~! I want to tell you one of the best vocal and dance group in Japan, EXILE...
They are a 14-member all-male Japanese pop dance group. Which is 2 of the member is the main vocalist, and the rest of the member is the dancer/performer.
I bet you ever heard about them if you are a J-pop freak. Or maybe you ever see them at a variety show? Well.. i think when you saw them at the first time, you don't believe it and you don't feel they are not interesting.. (I'm one of them before.. lol)
But yeah~! Their looks and what they did, makes you think "unbelievable~!"  
because almost all the member is about 27 - 43 years old!! XD
But their dance and their body is still good and nice like young age people~!! lol~!
