Career


Sexy Zone was announced as a group in a press conference on September 29, 2011.[1][2][3] Johnny & Associates's CEO Johnny Kitagawa said, "The group name came from Michael Jackson's sexiness".[3] The members were revealed to be Kento Nakajima, Fuma Kikuchi, Shori Sato, So Matsushima, and Marius Yo. Kitagawa chose the members considering the "sexiness of men".[1]

After the press conference, the members appeared in Teigeki Johnnys Imperial Theatre Special "Kis-My-Ft2 with Johnny's Jr.", and premiered their debut song "Sexy Zone", which was subsequently released on November 16, 2011 from Pony Canyon.[2] This song was also the image song of the 2011 FIVB Women's World Cup and the 2011 FIVB Men's World Cup. The group were special supporters of 2011 FIVB World Cup.[4] this song was ranked in the Oricon charts.

Sexy Zone was named Musical Ambassadors of the FIVB Volleyball World Cup on March 2, 2015. On the FIVB world cup they performed their 10th single, Cha-Cha-Cha-Champion and announced the players as they entered the court.[5] In 2016, their official Japanese Volleyball team cheering song "Shouri no hi made" was released to cheer on the volleyball team.

It was reported by NikkanSports in 2014 that the group's then-upcoming single was only recorded by three of its five members. Their seventh single "Otoko Never Give Up", eighth single "Kimi ni Hitomebore" and their ninth single "Cha-Cha-Cha Champion" only featured members Kento Nakajima, Fuma Kikuchi and Shori Sato. This resulted in rumours amongst fans about the future of Marius Yo and Sou Matsushima, the two youngest members of the group. The reason behind their temporary removal from the group was that Sexy Zone had become popular and the schedule was almost packed, resulting in Sou Matsushima unable to travel from Shizuoka to his work. Marius Yo was disbanded from the group temporarily to balance the group formation. In 2015, for their 12th single, Marius Yo and Sou Matsushima returned to Sexy Zone from Johnny's Jr groups, as Sou Matsushima had enrolled into a high school in Tokyo.[6]
