This year marks the 10th anniversary of its debut, SexyZone. Even if it is a little regrettable, but there is no continuous running track, some members also have some interesting anecdotes.
In buzzRythem02 (Nippon Television), which aired on March 26, some vignettes over the past 10 years are recalled based on the "front and back chronology" prepared by the program. In addition to the debut song "SexyZone", which first appeared on television, and the dream debut song "Scarred Ten Generations", Masahiro Nakai returned to the five people again in 2015 with the "3 people and 2 people" system.
Nakajima explained in the show that "with the meaning of experience, Johnny (Kitagawa) has reformulated the system between the older 3-person group (Nakajima Kenjin, Kikuchi Katsuma, and Sato Katsumi) and the younger 2-person group (Satoshi Matsushima and Marius Leaf), hoping that everyone can experience more of a system in various places", in fact, the fact that the older 3-person group is centered on the older group has actually made many fans wonder.
Recalling his state of mind at the time, Sato said, "All 5 of us think it's still good to be 5 people." The creator of this opportunity is Masahiro Nakai. While the older 3-person group was starring in the song show, Johnny Kitagawa's figure also appeared there. Masahiro Nakai, who was slowly moving into the backstage, said to Janis, "I think It's better to have 5 people in the Sexy Zone. ”。 Since then, Janis has also begun to reconsider Masahiro Nakai's proposal to let SexyZone return to the 5-person system.
However, in November 2018, after that, Matsushima ceased to be active in December 2020 due to physical discomfort. Although it was a short period from September to December 2020, There was a time when Sexy Zone was a combination of 5 people. The members said that they had gone to visit Masahiro Nakai, who had created the opportunity for the group of 5, but Masahiro Nakai still jokingly said, "Ah, 4 people are better." As Matsushima said, this is also the cute side of Masahiro Nakai.
At the studio concert, the 10th anniversary skewers of the four songs "SexyZone", "Sexy Summer Snow", "NOT FOUND", and "RUN" were revealed, and the latest song "LET'S MUSIC". The mature "Sexy Zone" and the representative song of the group, which were incomparable to the debut, and the performance of the members were once again surprising. Because of this, I think SexyZone is still 5 people better. SexyZone, a 5-member system that includes Marius, will forever await their return.
