Travis Japan, the rising J-pop group signed to Capitol Records and developed by Starto Entertainment, is making waves in Japan’s dynamic and fiercely competitive music scene. The group, made up of seven talented members—Chaka, Umi, Shime, Shizu, Genta, Machu, and Noel (who is currently on hiatus)—is setting their sights on global recognition with their 2025 VIIsual Tour. The tour marks a significant milestone as the group looks to expand the horizons of J-pop beyond Japan’s borders.
Japan, home to the world’s second-largest music market after the U.S., is known for its vibrant fan culture and robust music industry. While this creates ample opportunities for acts to thrive, it also means intense competition for prominence. Yet, Travis Japan is tackling this challenge head-on, using their multifaceted talents to stand out in a saturated market.
The members of Travis Japan are committed to raising the band’s profile through a wide range of individual endeavors, from acting and modeling to fashion. Genta has notably lent his voice to the Japanese release of Disney’s Mufasa, playing the role of Scar. Umi has made a name for himself in the fashion world with his distinctive style, while Chaka, the group leader, has built an extensive resume in television and variety shows. Each member brings unique skills to the table, helping to elevate the group’s collective appeal.
As they continue to push boundaries in both music and entertainment, Travis Japan is poised to be one of J-pop’s most promising exports. With their growing fanbase and expanding visibility, their upcoming VIIsual Tour promises to be a game-changer in the world of J-pop.
