I know I am a couple of days late writing a post about this news but I have been just been basking in the joy of it. It is a rare thing to get good news about a Johnny's group member these days after all.
That said it was announced a couple of days ago that Sexy Zone's Matsushima Sou will be returning to group act ivies, ending his hiatus. His hiatus began November 2018 as he was diagnosed with a panic attack disorder and went on hiatus to work on treating it. He will be eased back into work so there is no word yet when he will be fully active with the group. And because of that he will not be a part of the group's concert tour for their recent album, Pop x Step.
As happy as I am to hear that Sou returning I am also glad to know that he will be rejoining slowly so he has time to adjust to the busy work load of a Johnny's idol. I would expect to first see him appear in photo shoots then building from there. With the final concert for the Pop x Step tour currently scheduled for November 1st and the group only just releasing a new single this month I would expect that the next release for them will either be December or January. And I would be shocked if Sou did not at least appear on stage if just to stand with the group for the final concert. That would be the best place and time to announce the group being able to fully move on as a five member group once more.
Above all I do hope all goes well for Sou and that he has been able to learn how to deal with and mitigate his anxiety before it becomes a panic attack. He is bound to just be happier and healthier over all if that is the case. Which in the end if far more important than anything else, even returning to Sexy Zone.
