Shūji to Akira (修二と彰, lit. Shūji and Akira) was a special temporary unit formed by KAT-TUN member Kazuya Kamenashi and NEWS member Tomohisa Yamashita for their 2005 dramaNobuta o Produce. Shūji (修二) and Akira (彰) are the names of the characters Kamenashi and Yamashita play in the drama respectively. Although the drama has long finished on television, the duo have revived their performance of their song "Seishun Amigo" (青春アミーゴ, Youthful Friends) numerous times. In 2017, they formed another special temporary unit, Kame to Yamapi (亀と山P, lit. Kame and Yamapi), for their 2017 drama Boku, Unmei no Hito desu.[1]
The limited edition consists of three songs and a special 12-page photo booklet, and the regular edition consists three songs and their instrumentals. "Seishun Amigo" was used as the theme song for the drama Nobuta wo Produce starring Kamenashi, Yamashita and Maki Horikita. Musically, the song has a resemblance to Japanese kayōkyoku music of the 1980s.[2]
