KEITA released his solo debut, “SIDE BY SIDE” on June 5, 2013 (in Hong Kong on June 7, 2013). The album won best sales/release Japan/Korea at IFPI Hong Kong top sales music awards 2013.

W-inds is popular, not only in Japan, but in other parts of Asia as well, especially Hong Kong. They took home 10 awards at the 2012 awards. (10 awards is the maximum for Japan/Korea artists).

Lead vocalist, Keita Tachibana, made his solo debut as “KEITA” in 2013. His “SIDE BY SIDE” album, was highly praised much like W-inds. He was the youngest male artist ever to take home the award.

KEITA said about the award, “I am so happy to be receiving this IFP Hong Kong best sales/release Japan/Korea. Thank you very much. W-inds won 10 awards before, but this solo album was self produced, so being recognized is a huge honor. I wish to work harder in the future. We played in Hong Kong in January, but I also want to play in Hong Kong as KEITA as well. Thank you for your continued support.”
