a-genic PROJECT
In 2019, a new dance & vocal group development project that inherits avex's DNA was announced. Twelve men and women who won the audition in the spring of the same year formed "a-genic", a limited-time survival unit that acts as an official member decided in the summer. The project was called the a-genic PROJECT. The project started in the position of all friends and all rivals. The activity was released on the official YouTube channel every Friday at 18:00.

A recording began the day after the announcement of the formation. Two original songs, "READY GO" and "Natsukoi" (夏恋), was provided. Two weeks later, a three-day training camp was held in and around Shirahama Floral Hall. At the training camp, various trainings such as dance lessons and voice training were conducted, and it became possible to show the original music in public.

On June 9, they made their live debut as a-genic in the foyer at the opening time of the Da-iCE BEST TOUR 2019 Niigata Performance, the best tour of Da-iCE, a senior of the same agency. The members were selected, not all joining the performance. The songs performed are the original songs "READY GO" and "Natsukoi" (夏恋), which was given at the time of the project announcement. Before the live, 60 handbills were distributed to attract customers.

After that, live activities continued in various places. In addition, they appeared as the opening act of each performance of a-nation 2019, the largest outdoor festival in Japan hosted by the agency they belong to. The members were selected for each live.

On August 17, the Osaka performance, which is also the main performance of a-nation, was held at Yanmar Stadium Nagai. In the Osaka performance, the selected members performed live on a community stage different from the main stage, they then appeared on the main stage as well. For the first time on the main stage, it was a performance with everyone, (ATSUKI had a different job and had to break, so it was a performance with 11 members). This is the culmination of activities as a-genic. Although it was a relationship of all friends and all rivals, the activity was completed to an end.

A few days later, all 12 members were gathered and the official members were announced. First of all, it was announced to be a mixed seven-member group, and the official members were called one by one. It was also announced that the new dance and vocal unit will start their activities in the fall of 2019.
