Removal of Matsumoto Kohei and addition of Tamamori Yuta and Arioka Daiki

In 2005 Matsumoto Kohei left Johnny's, with issues regarding his academics, and both Tamamori and Takumi were moved to other Jr. groups.

Though, new members were then added including Asaka Kodai, Takaki Yuya, Hashimoto Ryosuke, Fukasawa Tatsuya, Kamei Taku, and Morimoto Ryutaro.

In 2006, Morimoto and Nakajima were moved to Tap Kids and the focus of the unit became the remaining 7 members. .

Asaka and Fukasawa were less seen during the start of 2007 and were moved to other Jr. groups thereafter. On the same year, J.J. Express was later disbanded when members Inoo Kei, Takaki Yuya and Arioka Daiki alongside former members Nakajima Yuto and Morimoto Ryutaro debuted into a new group, Hey! Say! JUMP.

J.J. Express often performed on the shows The Shounen Club and Ya-Ya-yah's show and generally performed music in the pop vein. They also did back up dance on occasions.
