Bullet Train (band)

Bullet Train (超特急, Chōtokkyū) are a Japanese boy band formed on December 25, 2011, under Stardust Promotion.[1][2] The group debuted under the name "超特急☆-BULLET TRAIN- (Chōtokkyū☆-BULLET TRAIN-)" but later changed the name to "超特急 (Chōtokkyū)". The group consists of "main dancers" and "back vocalists", meaning that the vocalists stand behind the dancers when the band is performing.[3][4] Bullet Train has been likened to Momoiro Clover Z, an idol girl group managed by the same talent agency.[5] Consisting of 4 main dancers, the center among the dancers changes for each single. In 2018 they won their first award on MAMA2018 in Japan.
