JUNON SUPERBOY ANOTHERS (ジュノン・スーパーボーイ・アナザーズ), also known as JB Anothers (JBアナザーズ), is an all-male music unit and boy group formed on November 23, 2015. The group is signed to the independent label "JUNON SUPERBOY ANOTHERS LABEL", which was established at the same time as the group's formation.[1]
It is the first music unit of the "JUNON SUPERBOY CONTEST", an audition that has produced many famous actors, and the members were selected from those who were chosen as the best 100 in the contest but did not make it to the final round.[2][3]
The group is divided into two teams: TEAM SENIORITY (18 years old or older) and TEAM YOUTH (17 years old or younger), and both teams started with 12 members each, for a total of 24.[4][5] In addition, there is a 2nd generation, TEAM CADET, which started out as candidates, a 3rd generation, MIDWEST, which is mainly based in the central Kansai area, and a 4th generation, MIDDLE.
While the group is active in live events and media appearances, it is also a project aimed at discovering and nurturing talent, with the aim of debuting as CD artists and actors through various projects in which members compete with each other.
