EXILE members NAOTO and NAOKI have a new dance and vocal unit, "Sandaime J Soul Brothers," on the horizon and they have just announced the official member line up.

J Soul Brothers was technically the predecessor to EXILE, as the original generation group was formed back in 1999 by the EXILE leader, Hiro.� They were revived briefly back in 2007 with members NAOKI, KEIJI, SHOKICHI, NESMITH, TETSUYA, NAOTO, and KENCHI, showing a full membership change. �However, since March 2009 the group has been silent with no activities.

This will then be the third generation of the J Soul Brothers and it is being headed up by EXILE's NAOTO and NAOKI.� It will also feature Takanori Iwata, EXILE's theater tour dancers ELLY and Kenjiro Yamashita, and the vocalists chosen by audition, Hiroomi Tosaka and Ryuji Imaichi.� This third generation group will also have seven members, same as the last generation.

Sandaime J Soul Brothers made their first appearance at the September 27th EXILE stadium event, "FANTASY Kouyasai ~EXILE Tamashii~," much to the delight of fans.� They announced that they will be putting out their debut single on October 11th titled "Best Friend's Girl."� Plans are also in motion for them to have a quick follow-up second single in December.
