BOYMEN AREA KENKYUSEI

BOYMEN AREA KENKYUSEI (ボイメンエリア研究生; Boymen Area Research Students) or BAK is a general term for groups formed in various parts of Japan as a regional version group of BOYS AND MEN Kenkyusei. They're divided in four areas: Nagoya, Tokyo, Osaka and Fukuoka.

Boymen Babies is a group consisting of elementary and junior high school students. Although they're considered to be one of the area research students it's rare they work jointly with other areas.

In February 2023, it was announced that the 12 1st Generation member will graduate. On May 17th, 2023 the 1st generation graduated and will be active as a new group, Colorful Diamond, on the next day.

The group is now composted by its 2nd Generation of members who joined after 2022.
