In partnership with Capitol Music Group, a division of the Universal Music Group, Johnny & Associates is pleased to announce that Travis Japan has signed with Capitol Records for their major debut! The worldwide release of their debut single is coming to global streaming platforms October 28.

Since setting out for the United States in March of this year, Travis Japan has endeared themselves to all-new audiences with their incredible dancing ability and outgoing personalities. From their participation in the “World of Dance” international championships to their unforgettable, dazzling appearances on “America’s Got Talent,” they have worked hard to make all their longtime fans at home and abroad proud, to showcase the skills honed under the instruction and stewardship of their Johnny’s forebears, and to learn from never-before-undertaken experiences as sojourning pioneers; faithfully representing the spirit, drive, and ambitions of modern Japan and the legacy of Johnny Kitagawa. It is precisely all this, recognized in high regard by the industry peers and professionals with whom they have come into contact in the course of their American adventure, that has moved Capitol Records to help them take the next step, and Johnny & Associates could not be more honored at the prospects this exciting partnership will surely offer them.

On behalf of Johnny & Associates, the company would like to thank everyone for the support and enthusiasm you have so kindly offered Travis Japan in the course of this journey, and hope we may count on you cheering them on as they, together with all the members of the Johnny’s Family, continue to serve the hopes, dreams, and aspirations of all who love them as fans and followers.

More about the song will be revealed in the coming weeks. Be sure to follow Johnny & Associates on Twitter for details!
