Fans cry as today is the final day for King & Prince as a five-member group

Three members of “King & Prince”, commonly known as “Kinpuri”, withdrew from the group on the 22nd.

On the last day of the 5-member system, the fans gathered at the “sacred place”. A queue at the “Honda Headquarters Building” in Tokyo. The purpose is to shoot at a commercial photo spot that uses “Kinpuri”.

On the 22nd, which was the final day, people lined up as early from 3:00 am, so about 200 numbered tickets were distributed at 7:30 am.

“King & Prince”, which debuted in 2018, will have three members (Hirano Sho, Kishi Yuta, and Jinguji Yuta) withdraw from the group on the 22nd.

On the last day of the 5-member line-up, a Kinpuri fan called “Tiara” also came to Osaka… [Fan] “I bought (goods) nearly 5,000 yen. But I wanted to celebrate the 5th and 10th anniversary together.” [Fan] “It’s not like I’m lonely. I will support the other two, and I want to support the three who have gone their separate ways.”

During the first dome tour, Taisho, Osaka, became a sacred place as the place where the five members ate breakfast. In the ward’s “Tugboat Taisho”… [Kishi Yuta’s fan] “The song is good and cool. He has a good personality and is funny, so it’s the best. It’s the last day when the three of us will leave, so I don’t like being alone. , I want to spend time with my good friends.(To my fellow fans sitting next to me) Don’t cry, don’t cry.If you cry, I’ll cry, so don’t cry.It’s okay.” It will be sad, but I will start walking again like Kinpuri. [Fan] “I can only thank you, I just want you to be happy”.

King & Prince’s debut single “Cinderella Girl” from 2018, ranked first in the “Oricon Daily Single Ranking” today, as it sold 2,628 copies.

On the final day of the 5-member system, there were no TV appearances by the members, but at noon, Kishi posted a blog on Johnny’s WEB, a membership site, saying, “I will leave King & Prince today, but King & Prince will continue, so please continue to support me. I will continue to belong to Johnny’s office until September 30th. I will do my best until then, so please watch everyone!! Thank you very much!!”, the message was released.

King & Prince were on top of the world, dominating the charts but on November 4, 2022, they shocked fans as three members announced they would withdraw on May 22nd, while two members will stay to continue the group. There have been reports that the three members decided to leave as they didn’t agree with the goal to promote the group overseas.

The group made their last televised performance on “Venue 101”.
