Sexy Zone was announced as a group in a press conference on September 29, 2011. Johnny & Associates's CEO Johnny Kitagawa said, "The group name came from Michael Jackson's sexiness". The members were revealed to be Kento Nakajima, Fuma Kikuchi, Shori Sato, Sou Matsushima], and Marius Yo. Kitagawa chose the members considering the "sexiness of men".
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. 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.
In 2014, Marius Yo and Matsushima Sou went on a hiatus. The hiatus was suggested by their company, who said they should train a little bit more. So, the two members started training with the Johnny's Juniors while the 3 remain members kept promoting as Sexy Zone. They returned in 2015, in the single "Colorful Eyes". However, this was not the last time that Sou and Marius went on hiatus.
In 2018, Matsushima Sou was diagnosed with panic disorder. He immediately went on hiatus to take care of his mental health, so the group started promoting as a four-member group. The group had 4 releases, 2 singles and 2 albuns, before Sou's comeback in 2020. He returned slowy, in the middle of pandemic, not participating in all group's activities. Sou went to the online tour POP x STEP TOUR, officially marking his comeback, even though he only performed two songs per show.
In 2020, after 9 years on Pony Canyon, the group changed their label to Top J Records, a label created by Johnnys along with Universal Music Japan for Sexy Zone only. Their first release as an Top J Records artist was the single "RUN". Until today, Sexy Zone is the only group, or artist in general, in the label.
However, in December of the same year of Sou's comeback, Marius Yo went on a hiatus to take care of his mental ad physical health along with focus on his academic life . The group released their 10-year birthday commemorative compilation album without Marius, along of 3 singles and 1 album, until his official graduation 2 years later. The discussions about Marius leaving the group started on 2022 summer, but it was only shared with the public December 27th, via fan club video. Marius said that now he wants a new path for his life but shared his love toward the members, group and fans. Marius had and goodbye concert (without public and later release as fan club video and DVD from Cream single) , travel (recorded and released as fan club video and DVD from Chapter II album), song ("timeless", revealed on his goodbye concert and released in Cream single) along as a documentary episode on the TV series Ride on Time. Marius is no longer active as a idol, but he mantains a public Instagram account where he shows his new everyday life.
After Marius graduation, the group released their 9th full album, "Chapter II", wanting to show a new side of the group, now that they are officialy a four-member group. However, they still referecing the former members. In the goods of the group's 2023 tour, there are a lot of references to Marius, the most obvious one being the 4 bottle T-shirt, that have an 5th bottle hidded, representing him.
In October 2023, the group announced a name change, stating that the name made it impossible to do overseas promotions and made it difficult to online search about them, however, they did not announce the new name or the date of the change. Along with this, their company "Top J Records" changed its name to "Over the Top Records". They did their final concert as Sexy Zone in Tokyo Dome, at Christmas. But in January 8th, it was revealed that Kento Nakajima will leave the group after the name change, which will take place on March 31st. They will continue to promote as a trio under a new name after this.

君にHITOMEBORE
Sexy Zone Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
マジニヒトメボレ
だって手をのばしても届かないアナタは
眩しすぎる完璧なるヴィーナス
No no no no
まさかの優しさで迷い込んだ夜は
No no no no
想いも告げられずに
誰のせいでもない love story
最初で最後の恋
生まれてはじめて知った
君にhitomebore
その横顔
触れることはできないけど
スキさ マボロシや夢じゃなくて
それが 人生
変えることだってあるんだ
マジデヒトメボレ
マジニヒトメボレ
運命にくちづけて危険なこの恋に
焦がれる僕 黒猫が笑うよ
No no no no
見知らぬ世界はなぜ
これほど悩ましく誘う?
氷が溶ける前に
アナタは魔法を解いて
君にhitomebore
その名前を
僕は胸で何度も呼ぶ
スキさ この恋を信じるなら
いつかアナタと
永遠だって見れるさ
想いも告げられずに
誰のせいでもない love story
最初で最後の恋
生まれてはじめて知った
好きなんだよ マジで
君にhitomebore
その横顔
触れることはできないけど
スキさ マボロシや夢じゃなくて
それが 人生 変えることだって
キメることだって あるんだ

マジニヒトメボレ
In these lyrics, Sexy Zone expresses their deep infatuation and admiration for someone they are unable to reach. They describe this person as a dazzling and perfect Venus who is just out of their reach. The repeated phrases "マジデヒトメボレ" and "マジニヒトメボレ" emphasize the intensity of their obsession.
The lyrics also convey a sense of longing and frustration. Sexy Zone laments not being able to extend their hand to touch this person, emphasizing their unattainability. They compare this unrequited love to a night where they are lost in unexpected kindness and tears fall like stardust. The lyrics suggest that despite the pain and the unanswered feelings, this love story is nobody's fault.
The song also explores the power and transformative nature of love. Sexy Zone expresses their belief that falling deeply in love with someone can change one's life. Although they cannot physically touch this person, they insist that their love for them is not an illusion or a dream, but a genuine and life-altering experience.
There is a sense of danger and temptation in this love that they describe as a kiss to fate. Sexy Zone refers to themselves as a burning black cat, symbolizing their intense desire for this person. They question why the unknown world is so alluring and troubling, and urge this person to break the spell before the ice melts.
The lyrics convey the depth of their feelings by repeatedly using the phrase "君にhitomebore" (fall in love at first sight with you) and proclaiming their love for the person's name in their heart. They express their belief that if they trust in this love, they will be able to witness eternity with this person someday.
In conclusion, these lyrics depict the overwhelming infatuation and yearning for someone who is seemingly unattainable. Sexy Zone acknowledges the pain and frustration of the situation, but also highlights the transformative power of love and the potential for it to change lives. They express their genuine love and belief in the possibility of a future together, even if physical closeness may not be achievable.
