I can...HIRO, MAKIDAI, USA, & MATSU. But that's 'cause I've liked EXILE for quite a long time, haha.

Halla, HIRO is considered the leader of the band because he's the one who found the band. Well, long story made short, EXILE originated as a band with the four dancers & one vocalist named SASA. The band was called J Soul Brothers back then, until SASA left to pursue a career as a composer (I know, it's not the first time someone dropped out on them ). That's when ATSUSHI (who was fresh out of placing 3rd, right behind the guys in CHEMISTRY, in an ASAYAN singing contest...I know, it's funny how things work out) & SHUN (who won another TV singing contest) were invited to join the group, & the group was renamed EXILE. So the dancers were actually the original members of the group, & have been together the longest. Hence if anyone were to drop out, it's probably gonna be the vocalists.
(I'm not offended by what you guys are saying, btw, just merely stating some facts...I too find the dancers useless at times But bluegie has a point, this is what makes the group stand out)
