Famed for their ability in both dancing and singing, and for their good looks, Da Pump's debut as four members, Issa, Ken, Yukinari, and Shinobu, came in 1997 with the song "Feelin' Good - It's PARADISE". The group originally came from Okinawa Actors School but are now part of the Avex Network and are produced by Akio Togashi. Their songs tend to have a quick tempo and often include elements of rap. Da Pump often appears in TV shows, movies, and magazines throughout Japan.
Following a DUI arrest in 2005, Shinobu temporarily suspended all activities from the group. However, on 7 April 2006, he officially announced that he has left the group. The remaining members of DA PUMP will continue on as three. During his leave, he returned to Okinawa and in a letter posted on his management company's website he explained that during his time there he felt an urge to perform the music of the perfecture and with those sentiments decided to leave the group. In December 2008, Yukinari also announced his leaving the group, and within hours, it was announced that Da Pump would add seven new members and become a multimedia entertainment group. In December 2009, Ken left the group to pursue a solo career, leaving Issa as the only remaining member from the groups original lineup.
In mid-2018, Da Pump made their comeback with the song "U.S.A.", which became a smash hit and somewhat popularized the famous dance move created by American rapper Blocboy JB, the Shoot, in Japan, as a result of the music video and choreography using said dance move during the chorus of the song.

The song Love Is The Final Liberty by DA PUMP is an upbeat dance number that contains lyrics about the freedom and power of love. The song starts by emphasizing the importance of love as the ultimate source of freedom and the fulfillment of one's wishes. The lyrics then describe the struggles of daily life and the difficulties of facing an uncertain future, but with the power of love, one can overcome anything. The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "sore ga saigo no liberty" which translates to "that is the final liberty" emphasizing the importance of love as the ultimate source of liberation and freedom.
The verses of the song depict a bittersweet outlook on life, with references to painful memories and past regrets. However, the uplifting tone of the song contrasts with these darker themes, as the lyrics encourage listeners to find the strength to continue on and to face the challenges of life with resolve and determination.

ジャニーズ１のダンスマスター、少年隊ニッキが「久々に良い後輩が出てきたと思ったらこの子達ジャニーズじゃなかったんだ」って言ってたのをISSAが聞いて大喜びしたって話が好きです。

ジャニーズ忖度の中でもこんだけ売れたんだから、忖度が無かったら…

カッコ良すぎて、、ため息出る。DA PUMPは見てて楽しくなるんだよね。昔も今も！

当時、Mステになぜ出演できなかったのか、そりゃこの４人か出たら大変なことになりますよね❤️今見てもワクワクするし見たら止まらなくなる。かっこいいがずっと続いてしまう。リアルタイムでライブとか行けて本当によかった。
あかさたなあ
この四人がとか関係ありません
Mステは今もやがジャニーズを絶対に出すよね？
昔はジャニーズとこーゆーダンスグループの共演はジャニーズ側がNGにしてたんだよ
だからw-indsもMステにはほとんど出てない
ゆうすけVlog
Mステ出てました。
F.A.T.I
