Information
D-Date was formed in 2010, initially as a 10th anniversary commemoration of Watanabe Entertainment, with the first four most popular and excellent members of D-BOYS, including Kōji Seto, Hirofumi Araki, Yuichi Nakamura, and Shunji Igarashi. Arata Horii was chosen from among 30,000 applicants as the fifth member of the group. In November 2011, Yuichi Nakamura left D-Date and the entertainment business due to a back injury and to concentrate on medical recovery. During D-Date's last performance of their 1st live tour in Tokyo Dome City Hall on June 29, 2012, it was announced that Tomo Yanagishita had joined the group as their newest member. In November 2013, in the last performance of GLORY FIVE 2013 tour at Tokyo Dome City Hall, Shunji Igarashi officially announced his retirement in entertainment business because of new interest in other work.
