Kento Nakajima, who left the popular Japanese idol group Sexy Zone (now known as timelesz) at the end of March, will make his solo debut. He will release his album "N/bias" on December 25. From January 17 to 19 next year, he will hold solo performances at Ariake Arena in Tokyo. "Since it's a fresh start, I want people to fully grasp my thoughts," he expressed.
In April, he launched his solo activities and established a fan club. "I wanted to create a place where I could immediately give back to my fans," he said, and came up with the idea to release his work on Christmas, December 25. For the first time, he is producing an album by himself.
He has been involved in writing and composing all the songs on this album. "Japan pops, which is based on the good aspects of new music in Japan, is about creating new sounds and expressions. I strongly want to become an icon of that. I think music with unprecedented development will begin," he predicted. Regarding the album name "N", he explained, "It stands for 'Neo', 'Natural', and 'Nakajima'. I was 'Born to be an idol', but I also want to show my true self."
