Travis Japan, a seven-member male idol group from Japan, launched into the global music scene with their major debut on October 28, 2022, with the single "JUST DANCE!" Managed by STARTO ENTERTAINMENT and often abbreviated as "Toraja," the group formed after an encounter with choreographer Travis Payne during a stage rehearsal at Nissei Theatre in 2012. Initially, the group was meant to perform temporarily for the "PLAYZONE" show. However, they transitioned into regular performers for Johnny's Jr. showcases and as backup dancers for established artists like Arashi and Tackey & Tsubasa.The group faced changes in its lineup over the years, eventually stabilizing with seven members, Kaito Miyachika, Kaito Nakamura, Ryuya Shimekake, Noel Kawashima, Shizuya Yoshizawa, Genta Matsuda and Kaito Matsukura. Travis Japan’s journey includes studying in Los Angeles to hone their performance skills, participating in the "World of Dance" competition, and appearing on "America's Got Talent." These experiences propelled them to international attention, leading to their global debut under Capitol Records. They made headlines by achieving a top five position on Billboard's Global Excl. US chart with their debut single, setting a record for Japanese artists. In 2023, they released their first album Road to A, on December 20, and their second album VIIsual on December 4, 2024, which both went to Number 1 in the chart.
