Hey! Say! JUMP

 HEY! SAY! JUMP

Hey! Say! JUMP is a J-pop group under Johnny & Associates, made up of ten members. Hey! Say! JUMP is considered an expansion of the original Hey! Say! 7. The name Hey! Say! refers to the fact that all the members were born in the Heisei period and JUMP is an acronym for Johnny's Ultra Music Power.

History

As Hey! Say! 7 (Temporary Group)

• In a KAT-TUN spring concert on 3 April 2007, 5 members of Johnny's Jr's were named to be part of a new group called Hey! Say! 7. These members were Yuya Takaki, Daiki Arioka, Ryosuke Yamada, Yuto Nakajima, and Yuri Chinen. Initially, the temporary status of the group was unclear, worrying a lot of fans of Johnny Jr's groups J.J. Express as it could mean that the group was splitting up and that Yuya Takaki and Daiki Arioka would permanently be in this group instead.

• On 16 June 2007, it was announced that Hey! Say! 7 would release a single, Hey! Say!, which was then used as the opening song for the popular anime Love★Com (Lovely Complex). The single also contains the ending song used for the same anime, titled BON BON. This was the first time a Johnny's Jrs group had released a single since Ya-Ya-yah in 2002, and there was uncertainty as to whether the debut was permanent, or just a CD release.

• On 1 August 2007, the single Hey! Say! was released. The following week, on 8 August 2007, Oricon Style confirmed that Hey! Say! sold 120,520 copies in its first week and this made it top the Oricon Weekly Charts. At the same time, Hey! Say! 7 broke an all-time record by being the youngest male group to ever reach the number 1 spot in the Oricon chart, with their average age being just 14.8 years.

• In the month of August, the single Hey! Say! topped the Oricon Monthly Charts, outselling even their Johnny's Entertainment seniors, Tackey & Tsubasa and TOKIO. Since then, the Hey! Say! single had been certified gold by the RIAJ.

Transition to Hey! Say! JUMP

• On 24 September 2007, in a live television event from the Johnny's Jr's concert in Yokohama Arena, it was announced that the group would debut under a new name. Hey! Say! JUMP consists of all 5 members of Hey! Say! 7, now split into two subgroups and are joined by 5 other Johnny's Jr's. It has also been announced that they will debut their single on 14 November 2007, titled Ultra Music Power, and the song will also be used as Japan's Volleyball World Cup Relay 2007 Theme Song^[4][5][6].
• In July 2008 it was announced that the groups third new single Your Seed would be used as the image song for Kung-Fu Panda's Japanese release.
• JUMP released their 4th single Mayonaka no Shadow Boy in October 2008. Mayonaka no Shadow Boy served as the theme song for the Fall drama Scrap Teacher, which 4 members of JUMP (Ryosuke Yamada, Yuto Nakajima, Daiki Arioka and Yuri Chinen)starred in.
• During the concerts in Yokohama Arena that started on 2nd January 2010, JUMP announced that after 1 1/2 years they will release their 5th single entitled "Hitomi no Screen." The song is the theme song for the upcoming drama Hidarime Tantei EYE which stars JUMP's member Ryosuke Yamada.^[7]
