=== Before musical career ===
Born June 17, 1980 in [[Kumamoto-ken]] in Japan, after graduating from high school, he originally became a [[Mail carrier|mailman]], but later decided to pursue a career as a singer.

=== 2001/2002 ===
=== 2001/2002 ===
On [[December 5]], [[2001]] Kimeru released his first single, '''''You got game?''''' with Absolute Productions/Birdie House Inc. The song was used as the first ending song for the anime テニスの王子様　([[The Prince of Tennis]], commonly called "TeniPuri" or "AniPuri"), which was based on a manga by the same name created by Takeshi Konomi. He followed up this release one year later with '''''Make You Free''''', which was also used as an opening song for later episodes of TeniPuri.

In the spring of [[2003]] Kimeru was cast as [[Shusuke Fuji]] in the musical production of TeniPuri (commonly called [[Tenimyu]]). With the rising popularity of the musical brought rising popularity to his music, and on [[November 27]], [[2003]] Kimeru released his first mini-album, '''''The Beginning'''''.
In the spring of 2003, Kimeru originated the role of [[Shusuke Fuji]], the prodigy of [[Seigaku]] Middle School's tennis club, in ''The Prince of Tennis'' musical production series (commonly called ''[[Tenimyu]]''), and understudied the lead role of [[Ryoma Echizen]]. The rising popularity of the musical brought rising popularity to his music, and on November 27, 2003 Kimeru released his first mini-album, ''The Beginning''. Kimeru would sing "You Got Game?" at the end of each show for three of the musicals (the first musical, ''Remarkable 1st Match Fudomine'', and ''Side Fudomine''), and "Make You Free" for ''Dream Live 1st''.


The end of 2003 also brought tragedy to TeniMyu. The actor cast for the main role, [[Yanagi Kotarou]], was struck by a car and was in critical condition for some months. Because the second musical's rehearsals were well underway and dates already set, Kimeru had to step up into the role of [[Echizen Ryoma]]. Kimeru was struck hard by his friend's accident, and when he released his third single, '''''OVERLAP''''' (a theme song for the anime [[Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters ]]), he dedicated its coupling song, ''OATH IN THE STORM'', to Yanagi. Kimeru returned to his role of Fuji once a temporary replacement for Echizen was found.
The end of 2003 also brought tragedy to ''Tenimyu''. Less than two weeks before the second musical of the series, ''Remarkable 1st Match Fudomine'', the lead actor cast for the main role of Echizen, [[Kotaro Yanagi]], was struck by a car and was in critical condition for some months. Because the musical's rehearsals were well underway and performance dates already set, Kimeru had to step up into the role. [[Takashi Nagayama]] (who was playing the role of [[Eiji Kikumaru]]) filled in as Fuji, and Yamazaki Ichitaro (who had left the series) came back as Kikumaru. Kimeru was struck so hard by his friend's accident that when he released his third single, "OVERLAP" (a theme song for the anime [[Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters]]), he also dedicated its coupling song, "Oath in the Storm", to Yanagi. Kimeru returned to his role of Fuji when [[Yuya Endo]] was brought in as the new Echizen (Nagayama went back to Kikumaru as well, and Ichitaro permanently left). A small joke about Kimeru playing Echizen was added in ''Dream Live 1st''.

In late April/early May 2004, Kimeru went on his very first tour, "OVERLAP". With only three dates (one in [[Nagoya]], [[Osaka]], and Tokyo), it was his stepping stone into real touring as a professional singer. On August 25, 2004 he released his fourth single, "Be Shiny", as well as his first DVD with live footage and music videos. To celebrate the release of his new material, he went on another tour in September and November 2004.

At the end of 2004, Kimeru was graduated out of his role as Fuji in TeniMyu. Not losing any steam, Kimeru released his fifth single '''''The Pleasure of Love''''', as well as toured yet again, adding two new stops to his route ([[Sendai]] & [[Fukuoka, Fukuoka|Fukuoka]]). Kimeru's popularity was growing, and on [[May 21]] [[2005]], he performed in his first seated live house (Shibuya Public Hall in Tokyo). This live was later released on DVD.
At the beginning of 2005, for his last show in Tenmiyu - ''Side Fudomine'' - Kimeru was reunited with a recovered Kotaro Yanagi, who would share the role of Echizen with Endo. Kimeru's role of Fuji would be carried on by [[Hiroki Aiba]], [[Yuuta Furukawa]], [[Hashimoto Taito]], [[Ryou Mitsuya]] and [[Yusuke Yata]]. Not losing any steam, Kimeru released his fifth single "The Pleasure of Love", as well as toured yet again, adding two new stops to his route ([[Sendai]] & [[Fukuoka, Fukuoka|Fukuoka]]). Kimeru's popularity was growing, and on May 21, 2005, he performed in his first seated live house ([[Shibuya Public Hall]] in Tokyo). This live was later released on DVD.

In the summer of 2005 Kimeru was officially signed onto the Nippon Crown ([[Crown Records]]) label under "Crown Gold". Being signed onto a larger and more well-known label proved beneficial for Kimeru, and with the release of his sixth single "Answer Will Come", he put on his special Kimeru-Land Summer Eruption 2005 tour, complete with games and selling of old merchandise. He added an extra stop in [[Hiroshima]] as well as performed on two different days for [[Nagoya]] and Tokyo.


Winter of 2005 brought even more success to Kimeru. After the release of his seventh single, "Love Bites", he released his first ever full-length album, ''Glorious''. He later released a piano score for the album.

At the start of 2006, Kimeru departed on another tour to promote ''glorious'', kicking off at the Kouseinunkin Hall in Tokyo on New Years Day, and hand-signing over 1000 posters that would be given out to each attendee. Kimeru was also rewarded the "Rookie of the Year" award from Nippon Crown.

Spring of 2006 proved a busy time for Kimeru. While his regular radio show "Kimeruのキラキラ☆レコーディング (Kimeru no KiraKira*Recording)" ended, Kimeru became a regular guest on shows for bayFM, FM Fukuoka and FM Kumamoto. He also sang the song '''''STYLE''''', the ending song for the new anime "MUSASHI", created by [[Monkey Punch]], as well as released his new single '''''恋のパフォーマンス～to be with you～''''' (Koi no Performance ~to be with you~) and his DVD '''''glorious films''''', a recording of his glorious tour. Somehow in the midst of all his working, Kimeru toured once again, holding a special live in [[Tokyo]] on [[April 19]] (the day of his new single's release), and ending his tour in [[Tokyo]] again. He also released his first photobook, '''''Prince of New Noble Glam Rock''''', through pia and R&R Newsmaker.

On [[April 24]] [[2006]], Kimeru announced that he would be making his first ever live appearance overseas in [[China]]. His visit resulted after his fans in China continuously mailed letters and presents to a place in [[Beijing]] called the "Japanese Music Information Center (JAMIC)". After some consultations, it was finally decided that Kimeru would visit both [[Beijing]] and [[Chongqing]]. This was incredible news, and a big step in Kimeru's career.

Kimeru (most often written either in Romaji (Kimeru) or with Katakana (キメル), but has been written as きめる (Hiragana) and (決める) (Kanji), born June 17, 1980) is a Japanese pop musician, singer, and stage actor. He is most famous for his work with The Prince of Tennis. He adopted the stage name Kimeru, which means "to decide" in Japanese, before debuting. Kimeru's birth name has never been announced publicly. From 2018 onwards, with the release of his 16th single "go forward", the singer's name is now stylized as KIMERU.

Biography

[edit]

Before musical career

[edit]

Born June 17, 1980 in Kumamoto-ken in Japan, after graduating from high school, he originally became a mailman, but later decided to pursue a career as a singer.

2001/2002

[edit]

On December 5, 2001 Kimeru released his first single, "You Got Game?" with Absolute Productions/Birdie House Inc. The song was used as the first ending song for the anime テニスの王子様　(The Prince of Tennis, commonly called "TeniPuri" or "AniPuri"), which was based on a manga by the same name created by Takeshi Konomi. He followed up this release one year later with "Make You Free", which was also used as an opening song for later episodes of TeniPuri.

2003/2004

[edit]

In the spring of 2003, Kimeru originated the role of Shusuke Fuji, the prodigy of Seigaku Middle School's tennis club, in The Prince of Tennis musical production series (commonly called Tenimyu), and understudied the lead role of Ryoma Echizen. The rising popularity of the musical brought rising popularity to his music, and on November 27, 2003 Kimeru released his first mini-album, The Beginning. Kimeru would sing "You Got Game?" at the end of each show for three of the musicals (the first musical, Remarkable 1st Match Fudomine, and Side Fudomine), and "Make You Free" for Dream Live 1st.

The end of 2003 also brought tragedy to Tenimyu. Less than two weeks before the second musical of the series, Remarkable 1st Match Fudomine, the lead actor cast for the main role of Echizen, Kotaro Yanagi, was struck by a car and was in critical condition for some months. Because the musical's rehearsals were well underway and performance dates already set, Kimeru had to step up into the role. Takashi Nagayama (who was playing the role of Eiji Kikumaru) filled in as Fuji, and Yamazaki Ichitaro (who had left the series) came back as Kikumaru. Kimeru was struck so hard by his friend's accident that when he released his third single, "OVERLAP" (a theme song for the anime Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters), he also dedicated its coupling song, "Oath in the Storm", to Yanagi. Kimeru returned to his role of Fuji when Yuya Endo was brought in as the new Echizen (Nagayama went back to Kikumaru as well, and Ichitaro permanently left). A small joke about Kimeru playing Echizen was added in Dream Live 1st.

In late April/early May 2004, Kimeru went on his very first tour, "OVERLAP". With only three dates (one in Nagoya, Osaka, and Tokyo), it was his stepping stone into real touring as a professional singer. On August 25, 2004 he released his fourth single, "Be Shiny", as well as his first DVD with live footage and music videos. To celebrate the release of his new material, he went on another tour in September and November 2004.

2005

[edit]

At the beginning of 2005, for his last show in Tenmiyu - Side Fudomine - Kimeru was reunited with a recovered Kotaro Yanagi, who would share the role of Echizen with Endo. Kimeru's role of Fuji would be carried on by Hiroki Aiba, Yuuta Furukawa, Hashimoto Taito, Ryou Mitsuya and Yusuke Yata. Not losing any steam, Kimeru released his fifth single "The Pleasure of Love", as well as toured yet again, adding two new stops to his route (Sendai & Fukuoka). Kimeru's popularity was growing, and on May 21, 2005, he performed in his first seated live house (Shibuya Public Hall in Tokyo). This live was later released on DVD.

In the summer of 2005 Kimeru was officially signed onto the Nippon Crown (Crown Records) label under "Crown Gold". Being signed onto a larger and more well-known label proved beneficial for Kimeru, and with the release of his sixth single "Answer Will Come", he put on his special Kimeru-Land Summer Eruption 2005 tour, complete with games and selling of old merchandise. He added an extra stop in Hiroshima as well as performed on two different days for Nagoya and Tokyo.

Winter of 2005 brought even more success to Kimeru. After the release of his seventh single, "Love Bites", he released his first ever full-length album, Glorious. He later released a piano score for the album.

2006

[edit]

At the start of 2006, Kimeru departed on another tour to promote Glorious, kicking off at the Kouseinunkin Hall in Tokyo on New Years Day, and hand-signing over 1000 posters that would be given out to each attendee. Kimeru was also rewarded the "Rookie of the Year" award from Nippon Crown.

Spring of 2006 proved a busy time for Kimeru. While his regular radio show "Kimeruのキラキラ☆レコーディング (Kimeru no KiraKira*Recording)" ended, Kimeru became a regular guest on shows for bayFM, FM Fukuoka and FM Kumamoto. He also sang the song "Style", the ending song for the new anime "Musashi", created by Monkey Punch, as well as released his new single "恋のパフォーマンス: To Be with You (Koi no Performance ~To Be with You~") and his DVD Glorious Films, a recording of his glorious tour. Somehow in the midst of all his work, Kimeru toured once again, holding a special live in Tokyo on April 19 (the day of his new single's release), and ending his tour in Tokyo again. He also released his first photobook, Prince of New Noble Glam Rock, through pia and R&R Newsmaker.

On April 24, 2006, Kimeru announced that he would be making his first ever live appearance overseas in China. His visit resulted after his fans in China continuously mailed letters and presents to a place in Beijing called the "Japanese Music Information Center (JAMIC)". After some consultations, it was finally decided that Kimeru would visit both Beijing and Chongqing. This was incredible news, and a big step in Kimeru's career.

Upon arriving in China, he was greeted by a mass of fans waiting for him outside the airport. During his entire visit, he was completely overwhelmed with the amount of support he received, and was very surprised when his name appeared in "Cool-kei Ongaku", a magazine for Japanese and Korean artists, ranking 9th in Individual Male Performers, among huge acts like Hyde, Yamapi, and other famous acts.

On July 22, 2006, the Kimeru-Land Summer Dream 2006 event struck Tokyo. Along with a mass of goods (both new and old) and various games Kimeru-Land provided to the concert goers, Kimeru put on a grueling 4 hour concert, singing every one of the songs he had previously released, including songs he's only ever sang live, re-mixes and acoustic versions of some songs, and one new song. Kimeru also had Yoshinori Sugimoto, former guitarist and founder of the J-Rock band Waive, as a special guest (Sugimoto was the producer for "Style").

Kimeru performed with Uverworld and Undergraph on R&R's MIX UP! event August 16, which shortly was followed with the announcement of his next single "Timeless", along with his next tour, Kimeru Tour 2006 "Starry & Timeless". Anticipation rose for the single when Kimeru announced the PV for Timeless would feature some of his old castmates from Tenimyu: Sota Aoyama (Sadaharu Inui), Eiji Takigawa (Kunimitsu Tezuka), and Naoya Gomoto (Kaoru Kaidoh). Kai Asami was also announced to be a part of the PV. In addition to this, Kimeru was delighted to announce a stop in Kumamoto during his tour, his first time performing in his home town.

From October 2 - October 6, Kimeru was featured in the famous "J Pop Cafe" in Shibuya, Tokyo. The cafe features various JPop artists, and serves food and drink inspired by the artist. Fans can sit at the cafe and enjoy watching some of the artist's music videos and listen to their music. The Cafe opened only months before it featured the popular Japanese band L'Arc-en-Ciel.

When "Timeless" was finally released on October 4, the announcement was made about Kimeru's next single, featuring a collaboration between him and popular musician Daisuke Asakura. Known as DA to most of his fans, most people know him from either his work with the popular anime series Gravitation, or from producing many songs for the singer T.M.Revolution. The new release, called "Starry Heavens", was set for release just one month after "Timeless".

Kimeru, along with Endo and Nagayama, went to see Yanagi when he was graduating from his role of Echizen during Tenimyu's Dream Live 3rd concert.

2007

[edit]

At the beginning of 2007, Kimeru released his much anticipated 2nd album, Galaxy Kiss. The album featured collaborations with SOPHIA, Soul'd Out, as well as the return of Daisuke Asakura. Shortly after the release of the album, Kimeru performed at his second "Ark" special celebrating his 5th Anniversary.

Continuing with the theme of his 5th Anniversary, Kimeru announced tour dates for his 2007 Spring tour, which included special dates for a free screening of a special Timeless DVD as well as a special acoustic live for his fanclub members. Also included were dates for a regular tour, Kimeru 5th Anniversary Tour 2007 "Radiant-spring". Along with all his touring, Kimeru released his 11th single, "With You", which was produced by Tetsuya Komuro, who has worked with such acts as BoA, Backstreet Boys, and Ryuichi Sakamoto.

Taking a small break from his singing, Kimeru returned to the stage to star as the title role in the musical Pippin. He shared the role with his Tenimyu replacement, Hiroki Aiba.[1]

2008

[edit]

Kimeru released one single titled "Koishite Kimeru!", which was produced and featured Rolly Teranishi. He has also released self-titled album, which contains 13 songs. On July, Kimeru reprised his role in Pippin once again. On November 26, he released a new mini album entitled Shi Ru Be internationally.

2009

[edit]

Kimeru once again returned to the stage to star in the musical Titanic. He also released a new album, entitled Discover, on his birthday.

2010

[edit]

Kimeru returned to his role as Shusuke Fuji and reunite with the 1st generation Seigaku cast to perform in Tenimyu's Dream Live 7th.

2011

[edit]

Kimeru performed at the Anisama in Shanghai Only One concert, 19 February, which was held at the Shanghai Grand Stage. He then took part in another stage play called Shounen Hollywood, which co-starred fellow TeniMyu cast member Takashi Nagayama.

2013

[edit]

Kimeru was a guest at Tenimyu's Dream Live 2013, 10 year anniversary. There he sang "You Got Game".

2018

[edit]

In February it was announced that Kimeru, now written as KIMERU, would perform the second opening theme of the Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS anime, named "Go Forward".[2] This was his second work for the "Yu-Gi-Oh!" anime. The song debuted on TV on 11 April 2018, and the single was released in two different types on May 30, 2018. Type-A is anime jacket edition, Type-B is artist jacket edition.

2019

KIMERU released two new works: on March 13 his new mini album, "Liar", which contained "Go Forward" and 6 new songs. In April he was chosen to perform the third opening of the Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS anime, titled "Calling". The song debuted on TV on 22 May 2019; a single for the song was released on 10 July 2019.
