The judge's special prize awards were given to future label-mate TAKERU, who had also went by his real name Mukaitsubo Takeru, and Kobayashi Gou. Six to seven months later Soshi signed with both Tsunku's production company TNX and indies label Good Factory Record with his first stage name of Kurei Soushi. He had his first live on June 4th, 2006 in Akihabara. His debut, the single "Wish ~Kimi wo Matenakute~", was released two months later on August 12th.
On August 3rd, 2006 Soshi was feautured in the Game Boy Advance rhythm game Rhythm Tengoku, where his debut song was contributed.

The soundtrack compilation for both Rhythm Tengoku Gold (the sequel) and Rhythm Tengoku was released later as Rhythm Tengoku Zenkyoku Shuu on October 15th, 2008.
A couple months after the release of his second single "My brand-new" on January 27th, 2007, Soshi left both TNX and Good Factory Record. In the time between this and the summer of 2007 he met Leo, former Megamasso live support guitarist.
