Kento & Fuma, as much as I like seeing you debut, can't help but think you are suited to be grouped with Shintaro, Juri and co, who I think are suuurrreee of debuting in the future.

"hopefully putting NYC out of business"

That statement is a bit discriminatory. It's rude. As an NYC-fan, I feel kind of offended. Although, it's your freedom of speech and very much opinionated. No need for me to qualm or retaliate about it. Everybody has their own set of opinions. But please, one advice, just chose the words to be said wisely. Not everyone will be happy with such lines. I know NYC had their up's and down's but credit them still. They did their best. Just credit their hard work and not everybody can be pleased by what they do.

Anyways, back to the topic, kudos for Sexy Zone. Hopefully they can make more impact. It's nice to know that they are shining through. Good luck, Sexy Zone.

I love NYC, specially how they talk in interviews and stuffs...
I do hope they wouldn't really disband NYC.
But I'm happy for Sexy Zone
frozenstar35 30th-Mar-2012 07:21 am (UTC)
is there a possibility for them to disband!?

emiichan 30th-Mar-2012 06:37 am (UTC)
I just realized, they always have some props.
Sexy Zone = Rose
Lady Diamond = Glove with ring orz

Nevertheless, cute :3

So err... what have you got against NYC~?

And I thought they were going to put out a different song? It was so much better and it was a concert rip...
nekobot01 30th-Mar-2012 10:23 am (UTC)
Aw... I like NYC! They're so cute! *pinches their cheeks*

Sexy Zone still feel really awkward on stage. Does it feel like a lot to anybody else? Like their image/the music doesn't really fit with the boys actual personalities and abilities.

They need to be doing cutesier stuff that's perkier and leave the minor keys to HSJ for the moment.

As far as the "cutesy" factor goes, I think it's difficult because Nakaken and Fuuma and way, way, WAY better than that. They can pull off, well, pretty much anything; they have the talent and the experience to be more than just "cutesy" and furthermore they're also both rather past that age. For comparison, think of the performances KimuTaku, Takki, Oh-chan, Yamapi, Jin, Kame and all the other big name Johnny's were producing when they were 17-18. If you believe (as I do) that Nakaken and Fuuma are roughly at the same talent level that their sempai were during their corresponding ages (i.e. not that Nakaken is as good a performer as Takki is now, but that his level is the around the same as Takki's was when Takki was 18), then it's almost insulting for them to be relegated to being just "cutesy."

I realize that there's always been a trend of JE/J&A artists extending the "cute" age a little bit past what might be considered normal outside of the entertainment world. In recent years, it's been particularly perpetuated by HSJ and NYC. But look where that ends up: NYC's fanbase is incredibly small when compared to the average Johnny's group because the number of people who want to see older teens being cutesy is much less than the number of people who want to see older teens giving age appropriate performances (plus there are younger groups who can more authentically give people their "cuteness" fix, both in and out of Johnny's). As for HSJ, they've been trying to update their image to be more suited to the ages of the members without isolating the part of their fanbase that's there for the cute.

Sorry for the long response. In summary, I think it's hard to determine what the right level of "cutesyness" is when you consider Nakaken and Fuuma.

Marius look less awkward! I like the lady diamond image on them..well kinda sorry for the older two
captxfizz 30th-Mar-2012 10:59 am (UTC)
LOL a tad awkward watching Nakaken and Fuma in that PV preview...

oh... I see...

I think Sexy Zone has the potential to do very well even without throwing shade on another group. They need a few years to grow into their name.
deebosco 30th-Mar-2012 12:09 pm (UTC)
YES ! put nyc out of business !!
hazel_darlene 30th-Mar-2012 01:00 pm (UTC)
so what's the point of including NYC here?
yuma_daisuki 31st-Mar-2012 04:19 am (UTC)
MTE!
ichigohaatsu 30th-Mar-2012 02:17 pm (UTC)
No way! I rather sz stop and NYC continue!

Suki Sugite is the b-side to Lady Diamond
andreeupandaway 30th-Mar-2012 02:29 pm (UTC)
No hard feelings on Sexy Zone, but I don't think Fuma or Kento really belong there. They are simply too...big. I look at all the other ones and they come to Fuma/Kento's eyes. I am happy that these kids got to debut but high voices aren't THAT great, especially if their voices are going to change within a year or two, look at Chinen

I am biased, I had always wished that B.I. Shadow stuck around and put Tanaka Juri in that group just for the hell of it. I think they would have succeeded.

Only here for the NYC comment o/

Whatever you say OP, I just need Yuma lol
yuma_daisuki 31st-Mar-2012 04:19 am (UTC)
This!
anyeem229 30th-Mar-2012 03:29 pm (UTC)
they're named sexy zone 10 years too early. like buying bra when you're 5.
newsvsyamapi 30th-Mar-2012 05:42 pm (UTC)
+1000!
blackdevil2722 30th-Mar-2012 07:26 pm (UTC)
I really like both NYC & SZ so it's just disappointing to see you write "putting NYC our of business" & "whatever keeps NYC away". Like srsly?
itskimbitches 31st-Mar-2012 03:38 am (UTC)
i'm so serious.

this is a bias post

yuma, chinen, and yamada minus nyc is just fine. the group isn't helping yuma and yamada and chinen are just fine without the extra work
whited_79 31st-Mar-2012 04:44 am (UTC)
hopefully NYC will stay away from doing children songs after this since it's Sexy Zone's territory now, since Yuma especially is far too handsome and precious to be doing something like this...

idk somehow NYC & SZ's images are kinda mixed up lol. Johnnys tried to make sexy image of SZ while their average ages are younger than NYC @.@
