My blogpost for this moment is about the Former Kansai Junior group "OSSan".
OSSaN?
Yes, you've read it right! It's OSSaN!
It's not the ossan that one may know (I mean the grandpa/grandfather), it's not that kind of ossan.
Okaaaay~
OSSaN is a former Kansai Juniors unit consists of 4 members. The name OSSaN came from Yokoyama You (Kanjani8) and it represents the members' surname initials (well, it's typical to have that kind of name from Johnny's before). They are also an idol group but then they became a group that plays instrument after their formation.
O - Ota Hiroaki (guitar)
S - Senzaki Ryota (drums)
Sa - Satake Koki (guitar)
N - Nagao Hiroki (bass)

Questions about the group
Q: What happened to the unit?
A: They got disbanded. According to what I've read, they got disbanded after Satake Koki decided to quit the agency.
Q: Any projects?
A: Aside from appearing at Shounen Club in Osaka (which airs in God knows when time) and at the Kansai Junior concerts, they've got to appear at the Kansai Juniors drama called DRAMATIC-J and Daremo Shiranai J Gakuen. They got to act even once too, you know -- except for Nagao Hiroki. :(
Q: What happened to the members after disbanding?
A: Nagao Hiroki quitted first so, OSSaN worked as a three-man unit from then. Satake Koki decided to quit on the latter part of 2008. Senzaki Ryota and Ota Hiroaki continued as a part of Kansai Juniors until some time in 2012. Senzaki Ryota became overly promoted afterwards leaving Ota Hiroaki behind. Senzaki Ryota was popular way back then, if you ask Kansai Junior fans, no one wouldn't know about him. Ota Hiroaki was placed at a unit called Jr. BOYS -- it is a back up group of the back up group. XD

Random Trivia about them
It is said that after Nagao Hiroki quitted, he got replaced by a guy named Adachi Tasuku. Adachi showed off his performance even before Nagao quitted but he wasn't a formal member of the group, yet. When Nagao quitted, he became an official member which turned OSSaN to OSSAN. But then, Adachi Tasuku disappeared without anyone knowing.

One may ask why am I posting something about this old group who doesn't exist nowadays.
The answer is: I just want the others to know about them, I wanted others to know that there's a group like this that existed at Kansai Juniors before.
And apart from that I actually got an update recently about them.
