Kento Nakajima reveals the full details of his 1st album “N/bias”! "Prince, escape from the castle."

■The 1st album with the determination to shake off the previous evaluations and prejudices towards Kento Nakajima and break out of his human shell.

He graduated from the group in March 2024, and in recent years has continued to work as an actor and artist as “GEMN” and “HITOGOTO.” On December 25th, he finally released his 1st album “N/bias” (pronounced: non-bias) on Sony Music. Kento Nakajima makes his debut. The full story of Kento Nakajima’s first album “N/bias” has finally been released.

“Prince, escape from the castle.”

His first full-length album, which he released after graduating from the group and going solo, is composed of songs that help him find hope for the future as an individual, despite the initial feeling of despair that is a mixture of sadness and anger. This is Kento Nakajima’s first album, which is filled with his determination to break out of his human shell and shake off the judgments and prejudices he had about him.

A total of 16 songs are included in 3 formats. The 10th song differs depending on the format, and each song has three different aspects (first limited A is “Heartbeats” = “light”, Limited edition B will include songs drawn from “Nocturne” = “Yamiya”, and the regular edition will include songs from “Mazeyume” = “Unknown”. Check out the official website for details on the songs included.

Each jacket photo is inspired by a theme that goes along with the ending of the album.

The album includes songs written and composed by himself, as well as songs provided by ☆Taku Takahashi (m-flo, block.fm), DONGURIZU, and singer-songwriter tonun. Let’s look forward to a diverse lineup that will make them icons of Japan pop music.

At midnight on December 2nd, pre-distribution of “jealous” from the recorded songs will begin. The feeling of longing for a loved one who is far away makes you even envious of the moon floating in the night sky… This is a song that melodiously sings such feelings of love and jealousy over a refreshing sound with a modern new jack swing taste.

The first limited edition A with full packaging comes with an original special box. In addition to the music video and making-of video for “Picaresque,” a luxuriously bound 80-page photo book is included. It also comes with luxurious bonuses such as a message card from Kento Nakajima, a joker card named after the lead song “Picaresque”, and a body sticker.

The first limited edition B of the video-enriched edition includes the MV and making-of of “jealous” as well as the making-of of the recording and bonus footage. It will be a special disc with a total length of over 85 minutes.

The regular edition includes two bonus tracks. It will include the recently announced Hulu original “Concordia” cheering song “THE CODE” and the album version of “Hitogoto feat. Kento Nakajima” released by HITOGOTO in October.

And “KENTO NAKAJIMA 1st Live 2025 “N/bias”” will be held on January 17th, 18th, and 19th, 2025. Keep an eye on Kento Nakajima’s future trends.

Music provider comments
■☆Taku Takahashi
Kenty and I are friends who study Italian cuisine together, and we’ve been talking for a while that we’d like to do a song together someday. I am very happy that this opportunity has arisen. I hope we can continue to do more together in the future.
■DONGURIZU
This is DONGURIZU. I am honored to have received the offer from Mr. Nakajima and to be able to be involved in the production. “Dance on the floor” is a colorful song that incorporates breakbeat and jazz elements while centering on house music. Everyone please dance.
■tonun
I had never provided music before, so I was very happy when the offer came, and I was excited to create it. I believe that the completed song has a tonun feel to it, but also links to the music that Kento Nakajima wanted to express. The combination of Kento Nakajima’s cool singing voice and emotional melody creates a pleasant, groovy drive tune with a sense of speed.
