Career Edit
2002–2020: NEWS, Tegomass Edit
Tegoshi entered Johnny & Associates during December 2002. He participated in various Johnny's Junior activities for eleven months before becoming a member of NEWS in 2003.
Tegoshi appeared with his band members on Johnny's related television shows, such as Shounen Club and Ya-Ya-yah, soon after he entered the entertainment business. Tegoshi quickly gained popularity with his singing and is considered by many fans to be NEWS' best singer. In 2005, Tegoshi landed the lead role in the movie Shisso, becoming the first member to star in a movie. Shisso aka Dead Run (International title) premiered in North America at the 2005 New Montreal FilmFest.[2] He gained more acting roles in various Japanese dramas and continued his activities as a member of NEWS. He also hosted his own radio show, called "Tegoshi Yuya's What a Wonderful Music" from April 2005 to March 2006.
During NEWS's hiatus in 2006, he and bandmate Takahisa Masuda formed the duo Tegomass. They released the single "Miso Soup", recorded entirely in English, in Sweden that reached No.12 on the Swedish charts.[3] Tegoshi debuted in 2007 as a voice actor for the Japanese release of the American animated film Happy Feet as the voice of Mumble. In July 2007, Tegoshi was given the opportunity to perform a one-man-show called Tegoraji. Then he starred in Fuji TV's drama special called Shabake, as Ichitaro, based on the novel of the same name written by Megumi Hatakenaka (畠中 恵, Hatakenaka Megumi).
In 2008, Tegoshi reprised his role as Ichitaro, for the sequel of Shabake called Shabake: Uso Uso.[4] At the end of 2008, director Hans Canosa cast Tegoshi as Mirai for the movie Memoirs of a Teenage Amnesiac, based on the novel of the same name by Gabrielle Zevin.[5] This movie is slated to premiere March 27, 2010 in Japan.[6][7]
In 2009, Tegoshi took part in the musical comedy Dream Boys 2009 alongside fellow Johnny & Associates members Kazuya Kamenashi and Subaru Shibutani at the Imperial Garden Theater in Marunouchi, Tokyo. This was his first time being featured as a major character in this annual stage show. Not only did Tegoshi appear in the stage play, he also acted in a special drama for FujiTV titled Dareka ga Uso wo Tsuiteiru. He played, Sato Takahiro, a host and the son of a salaryman accused of groping a high school girl on a train.[8][9] Tegoshi also participated on the running-themed variety show called Sōkon[10] with fellow NEWS members, Keiichiro Koyama, Shigeaki Kato and Takahisa Masuda. The show was part of Lawson's green project campaign, where Lawson planted trees around Japan based on the number of points the members were awarded as they completed different running missions.[11] At the end of 2009, it was announced that Tegoshi would take on the role of Toyama Yukinojo in the live-action drama adaption Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge based on the manga of the same name. The drama aired January 15, 2010.[12][13]
On October 15, Tegoshi was assigned to be the main caster for Toyota Presents FIFA Club World Cup Japan 2012. He hosted a new soccer sports show on NTV called "Soccer Earth" and the image song titled "World Quest" by NEWS for their new single.
2020–present: Solo career Edit
On June 19, 2020, Tegoshi's contract with Johnny & Associates had been terminated.[14][15] This followed events in April and May where Tegoshi was placed on suspension after attending drinking parties despite orders to stay home from the COVID-19 pandemic.[16] Following his departure, Tegoshi held a press conference claiming that he left the company on good terms and that the tabloids had falsely reported a charity meeting as a drinking party. He announced plans to continue solo career activities including singing and that he had already intended to leave NEWS at the end of their Story concert tour.[17][better source needed]
On July 16, 2020, he announced that he had established his own company (Avalanche Co., Ltd.).
