Then, from mid summer 2013 till now they have held full of crowd schedule!
With beautiful image troughout these 6 months,
They've tried several numbers of new challenge,
Yes, I've remembered.
Tonight we will bring truly face of them, and all of miraculous things behind Kouhaku's dream!
Sexy Zone "Road to Dream" ~6 Months of Miracle~
By the way, their schedule started from summer 2013, Sato, Kikuchi and Marius had one-series TV variety during their summer holiday in Okinawa.
You're know too, right? About the dialect?
Like "iyassassa!", right?
Try to talk.
Eumm.. like "iyasassa!!", right?
It seems he do alone-traditional-festival.
In this day too, Marius the mood maker, make all people in the venue place laugh.
That was wild.
After that, these three visited marine spot, then spent their time with enjoying water-sport together.
From that day, their crowd 6-months schedule started.
25th October, still in same year.
5 member of Sexy Zone, fly to land that separated about 400 km from Japan, the land of Dubai.
"Syukran" (thank you in Arabian)
Long time no see you! -We're go to Dubai!
In order to hold promotion for their 5th single that was released on October 9th, Bai Bai DuBai ~See You Again~, they did photoshoots, and shooting for promotional video they go to Dubai.
During this trip too, full of laughter.
Hey, you said the water splash will appear soonly, right?
Look! Look at that!! Look! Amazing! Amazing!
There's still nothing appeared, right?
Anyway, dunno why all place is always according to Fuma's charge.
This is highest tower in the world
Do you see the top?
There's no choice beside continue go to the top.
The oldest member, Nakajima, all things that he say is always cool.
Wow! Seriously! That really amazing!
Amazing, but too far..
This time we must going perfectly.
You will see fish shape throughout this~
5 of them looked playing funly, but their relationship has going deepen too.
They have spent one week full unforgettable memories-journey in Dubai.
1 month after their trip to Dubai, December 25th, 2013
This might the special day for them.
This day is day when they've shoosen as one performer in Kouhaku Uta Gassen after 2nd year debut.
After belonging to make record, they're celebrate in the company.
To be real, at that day those 3 members were in preparation to do musical stage that will start 2 weeks later.
Johnny's Toni Toni World, this stage preparation is busyness day for them.
But with hearing the annoncement that they will be one group that selected in Kouhaku Uta Gassen, really moved their heart.
Being selected as part of Kouhaku means..
The group named "Sexy Zone" has become bigger, that most necessary point I think.
Finally we've reach this point. We also did for some variety, musical stage and repeat to practice. We hope we can stay at this point, moreover can perform in bigger stage too. That's all what I think.
There's many activites project for this year, make us little proud. So, that Sexy Zone can move to this point, I think this made by our fullforce and everyone support. That was all what I think.
This not only wasteful performance, it's a repayment. It's repayment for people who has supported us. It's a world-level TV huge event program, anyway this no other word than "repayment" is most suited.
So, it will be good if we can show our best performance. We have more chance to show many other people who haven't see our performance before. That was all what I think.
Are you going to do mesical stage practice? -Yes. -Do your best.
I will do my best!
-Do your best. -I will do my best!
Then three of them, back to do musical stage rehearsal, with feel of joy.
Month has changed, today is 4th December 2013.
The remain time until first day of musical stage show just only 3 days.
For this musical stage, three of them have joined to this practice too. This is one job from their president.
Yes, let's start!
Today is a rehearsal for flying performance, the most emphasis point.
Then, short time after that, there was shocking strike from their tutor.
This 70th! do that clearly! Flying team bonding is most important point of the show, you know! -Yes!
You're too slow! -Yes!
Use your feeling,you! -Yes!
To make mistake is small as possible they keep repeating, That was rehearsal that full of big worries and full of high tension.
In other hand, Sato, still practicing most highlight one part of stage, flying practice.
I really love this flying-part, there's still many chance for doing false. Well I won't never bored to repeat practice, once by once.
Well, this stage will go for 2 months I will get more practice so I can do much better than now.
Still in same day, after practiced, they go to Fuji TV Station in Odaiba.
This will be outdoor show, They said that it will be interesting show, so I've take a bath before. Hehe.
Today is the day of FNS Music Festival Live Broadcasting.
Though until one hour ago they still kept doing really hard exercise.
There's no time for break, after that they should do performance for present to their nationwide fans.
After go bath, I got refreshed now.
Onegaishimasu.
5 of them now should complete the rehearsal for FNS performance that will start 3 hours later
It will be better if you move to more front position when the song started.
More move to the left, you. -Yes.
Then, the performance will start in short time.
Oh my!! So good!!
They're so amazing!! Right?

Before live broadcast started, they feel warmed by their fans.

7th December, 2013.
Today is first day of musical stage performance for Sato, Nakajima and Kikuchi.
We have chance to filming them from venue row.
Good morning
The first day is "fhuuu~" feeling.
Thank you very much... Sorry I've said many "Thank you" before.. -Do your best. -Yes, I'll do my best.
This musical stage show will start in evening, 6pm.
But 'the real first day' is start from morning 9.30 am, to barely correct stage show.
You're move too fast, Jinguji-all!
6 hours before festival. They've not think about 'first day' again. Then unbelievable scare things happen.
Kento's script line is about Japan citizen who once captured in ablation of war,
Then I will stand up to defeating impressedly.
If can, Kento-kun, please start move from this spot. -I'm understand.
So then.. Fuma.
Hey everyone, see the script correctly everyone. -The script has changed?
Nakajima's line part, just in 1 second was changed into Kikuchi's line part.
Kento, don't you move too fast if you do that line?
Then Fuma has to do two parts. -Fuma, change your script.
Yes! I've remembered!
You have? Yes OK. -I'm sorry (Kento)
The script suddenly changed, tough today is first day
but it's Johnny's musical stage after all.
We've received that task.
It's better to make it go smoothly as planned.
Have you remembered all script?
Yes, I've memorized all of them. It will be okay.
There's no time remaining. Till this point, there's many change, that was really hard reherarsal too, but..
...I want to do something best. I want to do all perfectly.
The first day, I kinda face many things that I haven't seen before.
There's each day by day has gone, together with everyone
So I think we should get 100 percents of audience's pleasure, no matter what. So all what I think.
After that, first day musical stage show has started.
8th December, 2013.
Today, a world-famous magician, named Mr. Franz coming here.
Franz Harary. The world-famous magician. He ever arranged magician trick for Michael Jackson, Justin Timberlake,and other world-level concert.
This man named Mr. Franz, will help to arrange some illusion trick for musical stage where Sato, Nakajima and Kikuchi appeared in, Johnny's World.
Today, just only for 3 persons sake, he come to show a beautiful illusion trick to everyone.
Shori, comin' up.
You stand right here
Ok, you're two, comin' up.
It's magic time!
Ready? Now!
There's only 16 days until Kouhaku Paving Day.
(Staff) Do you think you've became busier now?
But it's things we usually do.
It's kinda no time for break.
During practice time, to be appear in Kouhaku, we do rehearsal since morning, while Johnny's world still has to continued too.
Truthfully, I've worry for many things.
Though we're busy, we don't have any choice besides only keep exercise, no matter what.
Today is Kouhaku morning rehearsal.
To make successful stage, this three members, Sato, Nakajima and Kikuchi do their best to keep stand up, through this limited time.
This kinda tight-feeling.
We've done same things similiar before, but this heart still can't stop beating.
Kouhaku is most thightening-part of this year. So can make move through this point is enough I think.
Though I'm not recovered yet, there's still many things should do.
But I still want to present our beautiful image.
(Staff) There's no magician who will help you in Kouhaku, right?
Yeah no one.
So it's true that we're still young, but we still want to present beautiful stage no matter what.
They will do magic illusion during perform the song, this might be tough performance.
I think this Kouhaku event is most important thing for Sexy Zone. This can be mean we go one step higher than before.
Though in Johnny's we still want to do our best performance.
There was one by one exercise we had, this time juniors joining to help us too.
So, we're as five must do our best in Kouhaku too.
2 weeks until Kouhaku Event.
Today they are go to Fuji TV Station, to do recording for TV variety program, "Real Scope Hyper".
Though they have crowd schedule between musical stage and Kouhaku stage preparation, they still keep continuing regular TV show recording.
But.. I think we have to go our enhancement.
Since I'm "M" (Masochist) to work. Hehe.
Maybe it's not "busy". It's about satisfaction.
In this recording, there's no free time for them.
Look! we same with lemon.
