Second, exile: people and others.

* Many albums contain audio tapes, which are often used in the dance part of the performance when performing live.

* Members are all experts in wine forest. However, none of them smoke.

* Shun's first six members, including those who have retired from the group, each invested 500,000 yuan to set up a limited company, and the members are also employees of the company.

* A few times, when I participated in TV programs, I openly recruited brokers on the programs.

* Since 2004, members began to independently carry out other performing arts activities, including Japanese dramas and variety shows.

There were many R&B-style songs when they debuted, but since the then producer Max Matsuura left, they gradually turned to pop style. Especially after the sale of Together in 2003, this tendency became very obvious. Later, the original bloggers who composed music together provided a large number of songs for the exiles, and in order to cope with the changes in music, the proportion of songs created by Shun members at that time also increased accordingly.

* At the invitation of a friend, I went to see the 2005 concert tour "Exile @ LIVE TOUR 2005 Perfect Live ~ Asia ~", and I was deeply moved and became a fan of exile. The following year, after the obedient troupe retired from the troupe, it won the first prize in the song contest "Audition of Exile Vocal Music War 2006 ~ Asian Dream ~".

After leaving the group, concentrate on personal singing activities. The motivation for quitting the group is mainly because different groups pursue different musical ideas. According to an anecdote recorded in Hiro's "B Wei ボーィサラリーマン", Shun has been worried about this matter since 2004. Once, in the rehearsal of a concert tour, he gave himself five days off for no reason.
