The First Place

Currently Project TARO members are aged between 13 years old to 17 years old. In Japan they will be at Junior High to Senior High, that I don’t think every of them has been polished in overseas training.

For Japanese to become world-class artist, an outstanding skill in “Vocal ability”, “Dance ability” and “English” is a top matter. Most importantly, being a Japanese that exist in the world, is the ability that formed only after one realized ‘what i am going to be’ and ‘what is my identity’, it’s called a ‘Human-ability’.

From this point of view, studying overseas in the home of (world) entertainment is the criteria to develop under the global standards. Also, the process of growing will awaken the support and excitement of Japanese people and will continue in the movement of Japan.

If you look at their power now, it feel like they will achieved something unexplored before. I look forward to their future.

What is TARO?

Japanese people that will achieved place on the world. Japanese people that will achieved something has been never done before. And in Japan itself they will gain sympathy all over Japan, respected and will be Japan’s new ideal.

Like the ‘Taro’ (note : Urashima Taro) we have known from childhood story which is symbol of Justice and Strength for the Japanese boys, “TARO” will continue to growing and slowly will loved by everyone. In addition, we would like to continue the Japanese to lead in the world as SAMURAI.

EXILE HIRO AND MATSUURA MASATO FROM AVEX GROUP AS THE PROJECT MAKER. 

“Culture, even in the overseas, have a hidden potential that is immeasurable. Japan entertainment need to be more known abroad. If none do it, then it will never be started. That’s why we created Japanese world-class artist with our own hand. To train the world-class artist, then you need them to study at the home of world-entertainment.”

- Matsuura Masato, Avex Group Holdings’s, President CEO

“At the start we are have the strong feeling to make our own (Japan) entertainment to be well-known to the world. This project is a part of education activities from our entertainment, that we are serious about the world. Passion to the entertainment, the dream of the young talents have about the world, at the same time EXILE TRIBE also cherish what has been in the Japanese’s heart, that want Japanese artist to start known to the world.”
