Key Information
History
[edit]The now three former members of Johnny & Associates' King & Prince, left the group on May 22, 2023. Hirano and Jinguji cut ties with the agency that same day, while Kishi left on September 30, 2023.
On July 7, 2023, Hirano and Jinguji announced on a YouTube livestream their new affiliation to Tobe co., Ltd, established by Hideaki Takizawa.[1] Kishi's announcement that he now belonged to Tobe Co., Ltd was done on a YouTube livestream on October 15, 2023, and also included the news about the formation of Number_i.[2][3]
Kishi came up with "Number_i" and Hirano and Jinguji agreed with the group name. The "i" stands for Number One and Only One, signifying the aim to be number one, as well as the importance of the journey to get there. It also stands for love, "愛" in Japanese, and I (as in "me", "myself") in English, with the meaning of immersing themselves into the project, taking it as a unique thing for each one of the members.[4][5][6]
On November 15, 2023, Number_i made their debut appearance on the cover of the magazine Nylon Japan Global Issue 04.[7]
On January 1, 2024, the first digital single "GOAT" was released.[8]
On March 2, 2024, Number_i made its first TV appearance since its formation, appearing live on NHK's Venue101.[9]
On March 6, 2024, Number_i's first CD single, "GOAT", was released exclusively through the Tobe Online Store, selling 481,475 copies in its first week and topping the Billboard Japan Weekly Single Sales Chart.[10]
On April 12, the second digital single "Blow Your Cover" was released.[11]
On April 14, 2024, Number_i made their debut appearance on the '88rising Futures' stage at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival 2024, performing FUJI, and a remix version of "GOAT" with Jackson Wang.[12][13][14]
On May 3, 2024, Number_i appeared on the cover of the May issue of the Korean magazine MAPS and the first issue of the Japanese version, MAPS Japan.[15]
On May 27, 2024, their first album No. O: Ring was released.[16]
Their single "Bon" reached number one on the June 5 Oricon Weekly Digital Single ranking chart, with 60,120 downloads in its first week, while the No. O: Ring album reached the top spot on the June 5 Oricon Weekly Digital Album ranking chart, with 31,804 downloads in the first week.[17]
The group was recipient of a negative X post on January 1, 2025, later erased, by cosmetics company Reju, where its community manager called them traitors and that their appearance in NHK's Kouhaku "rots my eyes and ears". After the backlash received from the group's fans, Reju posted an apology and decided, on January 5, to close operations definitively.[18][19][20]
