Exile (エグザイル Eguzairu?) is a 7-member Japanese pop music band.
Current leader Hiro was originally in the band Zoo that split up in the mid-1990s. In 1999, he started a new group called J Soul Brothers, which later changed its name to Exile in 2001. On November 2003, they remade Zoo's hit single "Choo Choo Train" and sold over a million copies.
