Biography[]

2011

After the successful groups Polaris α and Vega β, Tsunku decided to make a new group out of the DreamS Kenshuusei group (specifically picked auditonees who failed the DreamS audition back in 2009). He chose 5 members out of the Kenshuusei -- Yamada AyumuAkimoto MiharuSugiura AsukaFujimoto Emi, and Fujiwara Kumiko. He chose the name NeXus because he wanted a group that could really "connect" the audience, thus the name. He started them off as an indie group, and since they were doing very well, they sold a few more indie singles and officially debuted on December 31 with "Change!!!".

2012[]

On March 2, it was announced that Polaris α's Miyanaga Misaki alongside NeXus' Fujimoto Emi, Akimoto Miharu  and Sugiura Asuka, were to create a dance unit called SINX. At the same time, it was also announced that Takahashi RieSuzuki Eri and Satou Miki were to form a new sub-unit named "Asobi Masho!".  On June 2, 4 months after it was announced, SINX danced to Up Up Girls (Kari)'s  Chopper☆Chopper & S.M's dance unit Younique's Maxstep at the PolaVega collaboration concert. 

On November 13, it was announced that there will be two units within NeXus -- the first unit consisting of Yamada Ayumu, Fujiwara Kumiko and Akimoto Miharu , called "Amefuri"; the second unit consisting of Sugiura Asuka & Fujimoto Emi called "MoeDoki". 

2013[]

The first unit "Amefuri" debuted on January 17, with "HELLO", which sold 95,634 copies. The second unit, "MoeDoki" debuted on February 20, with "Little Match Girl". They are still active. As of today, NeXus is preparing for their first Japanese album, named "Cagayake! Girls", to be released sometime early 2014. They also have a collaboration album with KuroShiro and Polaris α which was released March 20. 

On May 31, Icchan and Tsunku announced that sub-units Amefuri and MoeDoki will both release their first album entitled, "Haruichiban" and "Heart Memory". "Haruichiban" is to be the title of Amefuri's first album, and is to have a classic, sad feeling to it, as the girl's first love was in spring, and with a broken heart, it was "The First storm of Spring". "Heart Memory" is to be MoeDoki's first album, and will have a more upbeat, cute feeling to it. They are to be released next month.

On October 30, it was announced by Icchan that NeXus and Polaris Alpha were to have another collaboration album released, called "The Wonderful Illusions of Wonderland". It will feature 2nd Generation Polaris Alpha member Nagase Mirei. It will be released on April 1, 2014.

On December 31, they released their 12th single, "Hikari no Kage/Kizuna no Yukue", which marks the 3rd anniversary for NeXus.  

2014[]

On January 29, they will release another collaboration single with Polaris α, covering the latest Morning Musume single, Egao no Kimi wa Taiyou sa/What is LOVE?.

On March 1, at the Dreaming Stars Collaboration Concert '14, NeXus announced that they will release their 14th single, "Houkago Catharsis/Toshiue Koimoyo wo" on June 17. They showed a preview of Houkago Catharsis at the concert to celebrate the 1st day of March, as a special performance.

It was announced that NeXus' sub-units Amefuri and MoeDoki will go on hiatus due to inactivity, as well as the busy schedules of each member.
