EBiDAN (abbreviation from Ebisu Gakuen Danshi-bu (恵比寿学園男子部, "Ebisu Gakuen Boys Club")) was a project started by Stardust Promotion in 2010, which was initially active as a theatre group. "Ebisu" in EBiDAN name was taken from the name of the location where Stardust Promotion's office is located. They regularly held live performances mainly at the live houses and streets. After several member changes, they started specializing in becoming artist groups in 2011. Several groups were formed one after another.
They consist of EBiDAN (main groups) and EBiDAN NEXT (trainees/research students).
They have a main live performance event that will be held once per year, called EBiDAN THE LIVE (usually held in summer).
Currently, there are nine main units, Choutokkyuu (超特急, Bullet Train), M!LK, Sakura Shimeji, SUPER★DRAGON, ONE N' ONLY, Genin wa Jibun ni Aru. (原因は自分にある。, The Cause Lies Within Me.), BUDDiiS, ICEx, and Lienel. Many EBiDAN members are active as actors such as Sano Hayato, Furukawa Tsuyoshi, Kusakawa Takuya, and more.
The total of the members from EBiDAN is currently 62 person. They were also known as comedians among the fans because their behavior was more like a comedian than idols (they had a very magical behavior). But trust me, they're idols.
In addition, EBiDAN is the opposite of STARDUST PLANET, which is Stardust Promotion's female artist group that consists of main groups and Stapla Kenshuusei (trainees). The female groups from STARDUST PLANET such as Chou Tokimeki♡Sendenbu (超ときめき♡宣伝部, "Super Heartbeat Publicity Club"), Iginari Tohokusan (いぎなり東北産, Made in Tohoku), AMEFURRASHI, Momoiro Clover Z, Shiritsu Ebisu Chuugaku (私立恵比寿中学, "Ebisu Private Junior High School"), and many more.

Let's get to know ONE N' ONLY!
ONE N' ONLY is a JK-Pop group under Stardust Promotion and a member of their male artist group called EBiDAN. They're composed through the union of EBiSSH and Satori Boys Club (さとり少年団, Satori Shounen Dan) when they had their first tour together in April 2018. These two groups are also a part of EBiDAN which is currently on hiatus due to their activities as ONE N' ONLY (They said hiatus, but more likely will not come back because they focus as ONE N' ONLY).
EBiSSH is a group formed in April 2016 with five members; Seki Tetta, Sawamura Rei, Kusakawa Naoya, Hayashi Kohki, and Yamauchi Hayato. But then in October of the same year, Yamauchi Hayato graduated and left the agency. The leader of the group is NAOYA, and the position of the group (unofficial) consists of vocalists (TETTA and REI) and dancers (NAOYA and KOHKI). Their fan's name is BAE BAE. They continued their activities with four members until the formation of ONE N' ONLY.
Satori Boys Club (さとり少年団, Satori Shounen Dan) is a group formed in July 2015 with three members; Yamashita Eiku, Takao Hayato, and Kamimura Kenshin. The leader of the group is Hayato, and the position of the group consists of vocalist (Eiku) and dancers rappers (Hayato and Kenshin). The group has each member's color. Their fan's name is IROTAS (イロタス) or an upside-down reading of "SATORI" meaning that the Satori Boys Club and the fans will become like a mirror and walk together.
EBiSSH and Satori Boys Club toured together in April 2018 and then they officially formed as ONE N' ONLY and announced a hiatus as EBiSSH and Satori Boys Club to focus on ONE N' ONLY. The group was formerly named One And Only but then changed into ONE N' ONLY. The group name literally has the meaning of becoming a “unique” existence.
The group used all of EBiSSH's SNS and rebranded it as ONE N' ONLY's SNS. They're also using the system of EBiSSH, but their genre is JK-Pop (the combination of J-Pop and K-Pop).
They debuted with the single "I'M SWAG" on May 7, 2018 (officially released on November 11). Their fan's name, SWAG, is taken from this single. This single can be said to be the theme of them, and the reason why the fan's name is taken from this single is that the fans are the closest to them.
I'M SWAG tracklist:
1. I'M SWAG
2. Sexy Beach Party Yes!!
3. What About This ?
4. Everything's Changing
The position of the group from the formation consists of vocalists (EIKU, REI, and TETTA), dancers rappers (HAYATO and KENSHIN), and dancers (NAOYA and KOHKI).
They released their 2nd single, titled "Dark Knight", on May 8, 2019.
Dark Knight tracklist:
1. Dark Knight
2. POP! POP!
3. Black Hole
4. Bla Bla Bla
They released their 3rd single, titled "Category / My Love", on October 16, 2019. This single is literally the last single featuring KOHKI, and the MV became the most popular ONE N' ONLY MV.
Category / My Love tracklist:
1. Category
2. My Love
3. LA DI DA
4. HOLIDAY
5. Don't worry
On November 26, 2019, KOHKI announced that he would retire from the entertainment industry by the end of the year, as he has decided to pursue his academic career to fulfill his dream, and officially graduated on December 31 of the same year.
The group continued their activities with 6 members from January 1, 2020, and changed some systems of the group including the position of the members, such as NAOYA which has now become the dancers and rappers, along with HAYATO and KENSHIN.
They released their 1st album, titled "ON'O" on April 15, 2020. This album featured their already-released songs and some new songs, and two songs from the EBiSSH and Satori Boys Club (one from each group). They also released two collaboration songs in this album, with K, and June.
In addition, the group is actually close with K, and June (these two are a soloist from the same agency), because June has been their songwriter since the formation until now.
They also released EBiSSH's unreleased song, titled "JUST LIKE ME", on October 14, 2020.
The group is slowly growing and now they have been performing in Brazil 2 times and have become one of the most popular groups from EBiDAN.
They also released some Latin vibes songs, such as Get That, L.O.C.A, and EVOL.
In addition, the leader and the face of the group is HAYATO.

By the way, I personally recommended "We Just Don't Care"! That song is a song that makes me become their fan.
I think that's all for them. I'll write each member's details ASAP! Thank you!
