[[Hiroyuki Igarashi|Hiro]] is the group's leader, who debuted as a member of [[Zoo (Japanese band)|Zoo]] under [[For Life Music]], but Exile have released their singles and albums under [[Avex Group]]'s label [[Rhythm Zone]]. Hiro and Avex's president [[Max Matsuura]] came from the same high school.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://career.oricon.co.jp/news/63670/full/|script-title=ja:『第4回渡辺晋賞』エイベックス松浦社長が受賞 プロデュース手腕高評価|publisher=[[Oricon]]|date=2009-03-02|access-date=2009-08-29|language=ja}}</ref> In 2003, the six original members of Exile founded the management and entertainment company [[LDH (company)|LDH]] which has debuted many successful groups and soloists ever since. Exile is the representative group of the company.
In total, they have sold over 15,600,000 albums.
==History==
=== Pre-debut ===
The current leader, [[Hiroyuki Igarashi|Hiro]], was originally in the pop group [[Zoo (Japanese band)|Zoo]] before they split up in 1995. In 1999, he started a new group called '''[[J Soul Brothers]]''', which later changed its name to Exile in 2001. (But the name of J Soul Brothers was later revived by Hiro again in 2007 when he helped to form another 7-member group under the new J Soul Brothers moniker.)
=== Debut and second generation ===
[[Atsushi (musician)|Atsushi]] and [[Shunsuke Kiyokiba|Shun]] became the lead vocalists of the group. Atsushi is a fan of American [[Contemporary R&B|R&B]] group [[Boyz II Men]]. In November 2003, Exile remade Zoo's hit single "Choo Choo Train", which became a strong promotional single for their third studio album ''Exile Entertainment''. The album sold over a million copies. They took part in the [[NHK]] [[Kōhaku Uta Gassen]] of the year, singing "Choo Choo Train". At first, their music style was influenced by R&B, but their style later became more pop-oriented form. Their 2004 single "Real World" became their first number-one single on [[Oricon]] weekly charts. They released the collaboration "Scream" with Japanese [[rock music|rock]] band [[Glay]] in July 2005, peaking at No. 1 and selling over 500,000 copies on Oricon charts.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.oricon.co.jp/news/ranking/6142/|title=EXILE、2作目のシングルチャート首位狙うダントツスタート！|publisher=Oricon|date=2005-12-14|access-date=2010-01-18|language=ja}}</ref>
The group released "Tada...Aitakute" in December 2005 and "Yes!" in March 2006. Both singles topped the Oricon weekly charts. However, Shun left the group in March 2006 and became a solo singer. After the group sought a new vocalist from the public, [[Takahiro (singer)|Takahiro]] joined the group in September 2006. Takahiro originally tried to become a [[hairdresser]] in his school days, but eventually joined the group as a vocalist.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.asahi.com/culture/music/NIK200703020009.html|script-title=ja:ＥＸＩＬＥ新ボーカル母校で卒業式ライブ|work=[[Nikkan Sports]]|publisher=[[Asahi Shimbun]]|date=2007-03-02|access-date=2010-03-25|language=ja|archive-date=2012-09-27|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120927010800/http://www.asahi.com/culture/music/NIK200703020009.html|url-status=dead}}</ref>
On February 14, 2007, the group released the single "[[Michi (Exile song)|Michi]]", which became their first number-one single on the Oricon charts since Takahiro joined the group. Their 2007 studio album, ''Exile Love'', became the highest selling album of Japan in 2008, selling nearly 1.5 million copies on Oricon charts. Their compilation album ''Exile Ballad Best'' sold nearly 1 million copies in its first week on Oricon charts, making it the highest first week sales for an album of Japan in 2008. It is currently their best selling album with over 2 million copies sold. It was the 34th rank album for 2008. The song, "Ti Amo", was certified Million by the [[Recording Industry Association of Japan]] (RIAJ) for 1,000,000 full-track [[ringtone]] digital [[music download]]s (''[[Chaku Uta Full]]'').<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.riaj.or.jp/data/others/chart/w090220_3.html|script-title=ja:レコード協会調べ 1月度有料音楽配信認定|publisher=[[Recording Industry Association of Japan]]|access-date=2009-10-24|language=ja}}</ref> They also won the Grand Prix Award at the [[50th Japan Record Awards|50th edition]] of [[Japan Record Awards]] for "Ti Amo".
