V6 (gruppo musicale)
# V6 (gruppo musicale)

V6 (ブイシックス (V6) buishikkusu) è un gruppo pop rock giapponese formatosi a Tokyo nel novembre 1995. I primi singoli prodotti dal gruppo sono cover di canzoni di cantautori italiani come Giancarlo Pasquini, Andrea Leonardi, Alberto Contini e Sandro Oliva.

Il nome del gruppo V6 è un riferimento a versus (20th Century versus Coming Century), come dichiarato da Johnny Kitagawa; il 6 invece indica il numero dei membri del gruppo, che sono appunto sei.

Hanno realizzato diverse sigle di anime, come Eyeshield 21, Inuyasha (Change the world, la prima sigla iniziale) e One Piece (la ventunesima, Super Powers).
