On January 8, 2024, Sexy Zone members Fuma Kikuchi, Shori Sato, and So Matsushima, and soon-to-graduate Kento Nakajima, shared heartfelt messages regarding the group's changes.

In an announcement from the official Family club website, it was revealed that Kento Nakajima would be graduating from Sexy Zone on March 31, coinciding with the group's name change on April 1. Despite this departure, Nakajima will continue his career as a solo artist under the same management.

Fans were encouraged to enjoy Sexy Zone's performances until March 31 and continue supporting both the trio and Kento Nakajima in their respective paths. The new group name for the trio is yet to be announced.

The messages closed with a collective commitment to making this transition a positive one and a sincere thank you to the fans who have been an integral part of Sexy Zone's journey.
