A.B.C-Z in Kotō

A.B.C-Z is a Japanese male pop group formed in 2008 under Johnny & Associates. Acrobatics are central to the group’s identity, reflected in a name derived from “Acrobat Boys Club.” Their 2012 debut release, the DVD Za ABC〜5stars〜, made them the agency’s first act to debut on DVD; later releases include the single “Moonlight walker.” A.B.C-Z staged A.B.C-Z 2011 First Concert in YOYOGI at Yoyogi National Gymnasium before their recording debut. The theatrical ABC座 series began at Nissay Theatre in 2012, combining songs, dance, acrobatics and dramatic scenes. Their 5Stars 5Years Tour followed in 2017 and included arena concerts at Yokohama Arena and Osaka-jō Hall.
