Nakajima Kento’s “Yamashita Tomohisa Style” and His Hollywood Challenge
On January 17, “Josei Seven” reported the relationship between “Sexy Zone” member Kento Nakajima (29) and former “E-girls” member Melina Washio (30). Fans screamed at the first romance of the “princes. Nakajima’s announcement came as a shock about a week before the romance was reported.
Nakajima-san will graduate from Sekzo on March 31 and go solo. The group will change its name on April 1, and Fuma Kikuchi (28), Katsutoshi Sato (27), and Satoshi Matsushima (26) will continue their activities. I think many fans were shocked to see Nakajima leave the group less than two years after the four of them restarted their activities together. (Entertainment reporter for a sports newspaper)
Nakajima has been very popular in the group since his debut in 2011. The reason for his graduation was reportedly because he decided to move on to a new career path at the age of 30. A source at a TV station said that the “difference in temperature” among the group members may have been behind the decision.
Nakajima has always taken pride in being an idol and was particular about his performance on stage. In the past few years, he has often demanded a high level of choreography for his live performances, and sometimes the other members could not keep up with him. However, I took the time to discuss this with each member before reaching this decision, so I don’t think there are any rifts between the three of us.
Nakajima has also appeared in the ’21 drama “She Was Beautiful” (Fuji TV) and last year’s drama “Sikkou! ~The Dog, Me and the Marshal~ (TV Asahi) and other high-profile productions. He also starred in the current drama “Living Matsunaga-san” (Fuji TV), and his acting career is going well. After graduating from the group, it appears that he will broaden his activities as an actor.
