Overview

In 2001 Yabu Kota, Ayukawa Taiyo, Yamashita Shoon and Akama Naoya were put together as a four member unit called YA-YA. They were later joined by Yoshida Yuuki, Ando Yasuhiro and Hoshino Masaki, and the name was changed to Ya-Ya-yah. Yoshida and Ando left the group before they released their first single in May 2002. In early 2003 Yaotome Hikaru joined Ya-Ya-yah and the group began hosting their own TV Show of the same name. In August 2004 Hoshino left Johnny's Jimusho. Around the same time Akama left Ya-Ya-yah, but remained a member of Johnny's. Ya-Ya-yah has been a four member group ever since. In January 2005 they had their first live concert at Yokohama Arena.
