About WhiteA

A 4 member, completely self produced Dance & Vocal Unit comprised of lead vocal TAKUYA, support vocal DAICHI, rap & support vocal JUNYA and performer/choreographer KOUKI.

Their group name is actually read as "White A's" (or White Ace), even though it's spelled WhiteA.

WhiteA has not been signed under a record label and is not taken care of by any agency. They do however have managers (their main manager is Daisuke, who is also their photographer), who help to coordinate their activities and take care of some the official social media accounts. Everything else is handled by the members themselves. DAICHI is mostly in charge of the YouTube Channel but the other members film, edit and upload videos. All members maintain their own social media accounts as well as a group blog. TAKUYA is mainly responsible for the musical side, writing songs and supervising recordings. KOUKI takes care of some of their choreography. For the latest release, KOUKI did the choreography for SHINE ON while (now former member) KOSUKE did the choreography for ONE LAST CHANCE. JUNYA has recently become active on stage, appearing in small to mid-sized musical productions.

WhiteA actually started out as a 6 member group (actually 7 but one member left before the official group debut/first performance). Five of the members, TAKUYA, JUNYA, DAICHI, KENTA and KOUKI were all attending the AVEX Artist Academy and at least TAKUYA, JUNYA and DAICHI knew each other during that time. JUNYA, DAICHI and KENTA were part of the same unit (called CHANGE) back then and actually WhiteA's debut song "Brand New World" is one they inherited from CHANGE. TAKUYA and JUNYA then became chosen for a 1 year group project called 'dino', where they came across KOUKI. KOUSUKE was an acquaintance of JUNYA and showed interest in joining a group if JUNYA were to form one when CHANGE disbanded and the year with dino was ending. The future members of WhiteA came together at a cafe and after a few hours of discussion, WhiteA was born.

Member KENTA decided to withdraw from the group in early 2018, due to family reasons, and member KOSUKE withdrew after a hiatus (for Produce101 Japan) in December 2019 and WhiteA has been active as 4 member group since then.

WhiteA gets along really well with BANQUET and they have done two-man lives and are sometimes featured in each other's YouTube videos. They also have at least one set of matching outfits, which are sometimes used for the groups' Tokuten-kai.

The group celebrated its 3rd anniversary in November 2019.

In January 2020 the group announced that they would be going on an undefined hiatus starting March 26th. Their final live was announced for March 25th, which is also lead vocal TAKUYA's birthday. The group's YouTube regular activities are to end with the video on February 29th.

Unfortunately the final live had to be postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. A date has not been set as of this moment.
