During concert Johnny's Ginza, which was held at Tokyo's Theatre Crea in May 2015, Matsumura became part of newly announced Johnny's Jr. unit called SixTONES with most of Bakaleya main cast as his bandmates. In the same year, he also co-starred with his bandmates, Jesse and Juri Tanaka in their first lead roles in the movie Vanilla Boy which premiered nationwide in September 2016.[7]
