JONTE's bio

On Sept. 22, 2006 at the Nippon Budokan, JONTE, selected as a finalist of a nation-wide audition “EXILE Vocal Battle Audition 2006 ~ASIAN DREAM~” held to recruit a new member of EXILE, performed his singing voice standing on the stage live before an audience of 13,000 people.
Although TAKAHIRO was ultimately selected as the new EXILE member, JONTE’s performance showed strong appeal to the viewing audience and illuminated his existence, an un-doubtful “advent of new possibility”.

He extended ‘wistfulness’ that everybody would be touched by his incredible voice.

A song heard often rings sentiment; however, he tenderly and deeply touches the hearts of the listener with his singing voice and extended character.

Even message that often reminds only ‘sentiment’, it tenderly and deeply touches hearts of listeners by his singing voice and attracted character.

Brightness of possibility that impressed 13,000 people at Nippon Budokan on September 2006. close
