Last summer, management firm Cyber Agent gathered several young actors and established a blog group on its Ameblo service. The group, known as PureBOYS, quickly grew in popularity, and now the actors have decided to form a boy band.

The seven-man unit consists of Masei Nakayama, Keisuke Minami, Yukihiro Takiguchi, Kouhei Takeda, Keisuke Kato, Toru Baba, and Ren Yagami. Although the members belong to different talent agencies, they will still be working together as one group.

PureBOYS has announced plans to release a CD, DVD, and photobook this fall.
