Music Corner 47: ADDICTION

ADDICTION is a five-member male idol group that formed back in 2014. Originally formed as a three-member unit, the group looked to break the norm of what it means to become a dance and rap unit in the Japanese music industry by venturing forth and giving fans a once in a lifetime experience with their own unique style. While not changing what it means to be a dance boy group in the already LDH/Johnny Entertainment-crowded market, ADDICTION’s lighthearted and overall happy-go-lucky style will have some fans comparing them to a K-pop style group, perfect for fans that just want that quick bite of pop goodness without being overbearing like other groups in the market. 

While each member has impressive vocals of their own, rapper Myuji shows off his skillful verbiage whenever he gets a chance. Tracks like “Party in the SKY” and “Come Back To Me” are just two examples of expertise in his craft. One of the most impressive things that ADDICTION brings to the table compared to other groups is that they are no one trick pony, bringing the very best out of each member. They can entice fans with a more happy-go-lucky emotional filled track like “Together” and “Rainbow” in one moment, but bring it fast and furious with tracks like “Destiny” and “Awakening” the next, making this a group very difficult to predict on what type of style they will do. 

Currently signed to UNIVERSAL MUSIC JAPAN starting in 2019, ADDICTION shows that they are not stopping anytime soon. They released two singles in 2015 and 2016 prior to their signage with UNIVERSAL. In 2019, “Further away/Destiny” released and “Who are you?/005” is set to release in June 2020. The boys also released two albums, TRIP (2016) and Party in the SKY (2019).  Be sure to check out their Official Site, Twitter, and Facebook page along with the pre-order link for “Who are you?/005” here, and music video for “Further Away” below!
