Kento Nakajima (中島健人) knows what it means to be an idol. After graduating from the group Sexy Zone, he performed as part of special units GEMN (with Tatsuya Kitani) for “ファタール – Fatal,” the theme song for the second season of the internationally acclaimed anime Oshi no Ko (available now on Crunchyroll), and the HITOGOTO project for “ヒトゴト (Somebody Else’s Problem),” the theme song for the TV Tokyo comedy/drama しょせん他人事（ひとごと）ですから ～とある弁護士の本音の仕事～ – a song he wrote for the series. Now, he’s ready to shine as a solo artist with his debut album, N / bias (read: non-bias).

Nakajima’s solo debut marks a new chapter in his career, one that’s deeply personal and introspective. The album reflects his journey, exploring themes of self-discovery, emotional growth, and breaking free from societal expectations. His goal is to shake off the evaluations and prejudices that have defined him thus far, embracing his true self and artistic vision. He’s revealing his authentic self – without bias.

This thought-provoking, emotionally charged album promises to delve into both the darker aspects of human emotion and the brighter hopes for the future. As an artist who lives to blur the lines, Nakajima’s goal is to fuse genres, blending pop, rock, and R&B to create a symphony as unique as he is – one that will resonate with listeners worldwide. With his soulful voice, heartfelt lyrics, and dynamic stage presence already captivating fans, he hopes this debut will reintroduce him not just as a former member of a popular boy band but as a man wanting to share his music with the world.

Releasing on December 25, 2024, N / bias will be available in three formats: a regular (standard) CD-only edition and two Limited Edition/luxury packages that include a video disc in either DVD or high-definition Blu-ray. You can pre-order now wherever Japanese music and movies are sold including CD JAPAN!

To celebrate the album, Nakajima will take the stage at the Ariake Arena on January 17-19, 2025, for his first solo live performance, KENTO NAKAJIMA 1st Live 2025 ‘N / bias‘. The event promises to be an unforgettable experience that celebrates the artistry of a star ready to shine even brighter.

There will be more Kento Nakajima soon so…
