We're two years running for sad Sexy Zone news to start off the New Year. This is not a good trend. Unfortunately, this year I am here to talk about Kento leaving.
I see a lot of fans who are incredibly shocked, upset, and clearly feel somewhat betrayed. I get it. You are allowed to be upset and feel whatever it is you're feeling (although please don't attack him for it).
As for me, I'm... disappointed. Not at Kento, or any of the members, but for the group as a whole and what they "could have" been. When Marius left I was crushed. I still firmly believe 5nin SZ had so much potential as an idol group that could connect so much more with the international world. But I never faulted him for leaving.
Sexy Zone as four was also something with a lot of potential. Especially with "Chapter II" and the way they had been framing things since Marius left. So, it's just... disappointing, that once again, we'll have to see Sexy Zone rebuild themselves. And this time, I think it is truly from scratch. Even putting my bias aside, I think we can all agree on how much Kento's efforts put this group on the map.
