By May 2014, Sexy Zone was working as three groups: Matsushima was paired with Kaito Matsukura and Genta Matsuda, now members of Travis Japan, then of Johnny's Jr., as "Sexy Matsu"; Marius was paired with Genki Iwahashi and Yuta Jinguji, former King & Prince members (Johnny’s Jr. at the time), as "Sexy Boyz"; and the main group (which would keep the name of Sexy Zone), that would focus on Nakajima, Kikuchi and Sato. The three groups, together with the fans (called "Sexy Girls"), would become known as "Sexy Family". It would be the first time that a group would not have a fixed number of members. Three would remain as core, and the other members would be picked from the "younger sibling groups" (Sexy Matsu and Sexy Boyz).<ref>{{Cite web |date=16 July 2014 |title=Sexy Zoneメンバー再編佐藤、菊池、中島で軸固定 |url=https://www.sponichi.co.jp/entertainment/news/2014/07/16/kiji/K20140716008569710.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240112101023/https://www.sponichi.co.jp/entertainment/news/2014/07/16/kiji/K20140716008569710.html |archive-date=12 January 2024 |access-date=12 January 2024 |website=Sponichi |language=Japanese}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=5 May 2014 |title=Sexy Zone新ユニット発表、１万7000人ファン歓喜 |url=http://www.sanspo.com/geino/news/20140505/joh14050514370001-n1.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140821105757/http://www.sanspo.com/geino/news/20140505/joh14050514370001-n1.html |archive-date=21 August 2014 |access-date=12 January 2024 |website=Sanspo |language=Japanese}}</ref> It was reported by Nikkan Sports in 2014 that the group's then-upcoming single, their seventh, "Otoko Never Give Up", was recorded by only three of its five members,<ref>{{Cite web |date=15 July 2014 |title=Sexy Zone、メンバー流動的に |url=https://www.nikkansports.com/entertainment/news/f-et-tp0-20140715-1335068.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240112094832/https://www.nikkansports.com/entertainment/news/f-et-tp0-20140715-1335068.html |archive-date=12 January 2024 |access-date=12 January 2024 |website=Nikkan Sports |language=Japanese}}</ref> as later did their eighth "Kimi ni Hitomebore" and ninth single "Cha-Cha-Cha Champion", featuring only members Kento Nakajima, Fuma Kikuchi and Shori Sato.
