INTERSECTION

INTERSECTION is a four-member multicultural boy group based in Tokyo, Japan. They are managed by avex management, signed to the label The Whole Earth Connection and made their major debut on October 5, 2018, with the single "Heart of Gold".

The group consists of four boys who are all bilingual in English and Japanese, with all of them having Japanese ancestry but were born outside of the country.

In January 2021, three of the four members participated in the Chinese survival show CHUANG 2021/Produce Camp 2021. Ultimately, Hashizume Mika remained as one of the top 11 contestants in the final episode and became a member of the C-Pop group INTO1. Ever since, INTERSECTION has been on hiatus.

On May 13, 2022, it was announced that the group would be on an indefinite hiatus, effective from March 31, 2022. Additionally, following this decision from the management, members Aoyama William and Mitchell Kazuma had decided to leave avex management and terminate their exclusive contract with the agency.
