On August 10, anan will release its annual “Ai to SEX” issue, and this year’s coverboy is Sexy Zone‘s Fuma Kikuchi! His shoot comes a year after his groupmate Kento Nakajima covered the same issue.
The gravure photoshoot for this issue has a title that translates as “Love and Cherish, Gentle Time.” It is an adult love story that balances career and romance. In the shoot, Fuma and his female partner are busy working people who find the time in their busy schedules to enjoy a date night.
Fuma has been secretly hoping to appear in this issue. “I’ve been serious about building a perfect body that looks good from anywhere, all 360 degrees,” he said of the shoot.

A day after Snow Man unexpectedly released a music video for a new song, we now have SixTONES doing the same!
SixTONES has just released the music video for their new song “PARTY PEOPLE.” In the video, the group and the dancers of GANMI have fun under the summer sun.
But we are left with the same questions as yesterday! Is this a new single? A new album? Given that Johnny & Associates does see YouTube as a streaming service per their Twitter account, maybe this is the company’s new way of debuting new songs?
That being said check out “PARTY PEOPLE” below!
