Well debut concerts have been announced for Sexy Zone, they will have them in Tokyo and in Osaka. The concerts will be in mid-February, so at least they confirm the group being around for yet another month. I'm personally hoping that at these concerts they announce a second single and maybe around that time get their own section on Johnny's net so they are 100% officially confirmed as a debuted group.
The venue they will perform at in Tokyo, the Tokyo International Forum Hall A is actually familiar to me as that was the venue used for the Junior concerts I went to while I was in Japan in 2009. I would say that it's a bit bigger than NHK Hall if my memory serves me right. But I find it oddly poetic that Nakajima Kento and Kikuchi Fuma are having their debut concerts there as that's also the venue they performed for the first time as Nakayama Yuma w/B.I.Shadow and NYC boys at.
I think starting them small like this is a good idea and I think it will make the milestones of moving up to larger venues mean more to the group. I truly expect that in a couple of years they will finally be able to have arena tours as there is a lot of talent with this group and I'm sure over time more and more people will recognize this.
And on a side note I hope everyone who celebrates it is having a merry Christmas. And for those who celebrate other winter holidays I hope you're enjoying those this year.

I got really happy for Sexy Zone when I read about their first concert confirmation !
Before I was unsure if they are handled debuted or not but now that a concert is decided, it gives me hope that they´ll continue as a group and get a section on J-Net.
Oh yes, I remember reading your report when you´ve been at this Junior concert in 2009, so it´s the same hall ?
I think it´s nice that they start with smaller venues and with the years get bigger until they will be able to fill people in arenas or even domes in the future.
I really hope we´ll get some new annoucement about a new single.
Too bad I can´t be there...
Thanks for the news!
Those boys wished to have a concert so much and now it got reality. Congrats to them!
I wonder what songs they´ll sing to fill the time of a concert. Of course their A+B side songs and I also can imagine that members will sing solo as well, like Shori.
I hope there will be news on TV about that concert so we can get a little impression on how it was.
I´m glad that SZ still get pushed. They´ll become supporters for the Highschool Cup and then the concert afterwards; I think it´s a good sign.

These concerts, especially since they are being billed as solo concerts, do give them more credence as a debuted group.
Yep, it's the same hall. I even rechecked the ticket I have from it just to make sure I remembered correctly.
I agree, while it must be nice to be able to debut in big venues I think building up to those instead isn't a bad thing at all.
@ Jackie
I have the feeling it will be a bit like HSJ's debut concert and while it will mostly feature SZ there will be a strong Junior presence so they can help fill the void as SZ does have very little in the way of material to perform. I think we will see a good amount of songs for SZ that will be concert only, also like HSJ. And I too see there being solo songs for at least the three oldest members.
There should be some news coverage of the concerts. But I would be more interested to see it get released on DVD eventually.
