oh I want the calender. I wonder if they have it at yesasia, that is the only place I can order stuff.

So Sayaendou is the only song you like? ^^ That's the theme song for the new One Piece movie. Anyways, the single can be ordered at YesAsia. Its still up for pre-order. It'll release on March 15th.

I'm not so sure if there will be a PV. Since they'll be on self reflection soon, they wont be promoting the song. No promoting on television shows and no performances. So there may or may not be a PV.




YesAsia and CDJapan are sold out.

honestly... yes. right now it is the only song that i like, but well i have only heard like 5 songs from them including Sayaendou. and as i said it is not the songs it is just that their style for their previous songs is not my style.

If you like Sayaendou, I suggest you listen to their song Fiesta.

OMG! For those who wanted to order the calendar, YesAsia has them in stock again! *throws confetti in air* And mine has finally shipped! YATTA! I can't wait until I get it!

thanks a lot for the recommendation, i liked Fiesta too, it is not as good Sayaendou but it is nice.

BTW i saw that there are 2 versions of their new single, which one would you recommend me to buy.

hey hey stef!!!

is that the NEWS calendar for this yr??? uwahhh... kirei!!!!!!!!!!
huhuhu... makes me wanna buy it now uwahhh...

have no money na... but i want it!!! uwahh
ah... i know~~ i'll ask money on my bday so i can preorder na. hahahaha...

omg thanks for sharing the calenders. now i want to get them but they are probably sold out. i especially love the one with ryo+yamapi. of course anything with ryo is good. people may not agree with me but i love ryo's hair in that calender.

lol. u onli like dat song maybe coz its one piece's theme song....? LOL. well then, if u like that latin groove, then u must like seishun amigo...! =)
for sure they'll hv a pv. they'll all be wearing pirate outfit.... YAY
(has this not been said here before...??? well.. sorry for not noticing everyone earlier then.... >O<!! )


i am a big jrock fan too!! (how out of character .... anyways)
who do u like most?
i find glay real pop. but people say they're rock... well. i wont agure. but in my eyes, they're pretty pop.
and some arashi song seems pretty rock to me. people classify them as pop. but i think they go both ways. =)))

and heres a picture of yamapi attempting rock .... XDDD
--edited out--
sorry. decided that is not a good pic to show. =)
and to below: yes. yamapi was younger when he did this picture ...... so ya. explains a lot.

^whoaaaa hahah he looks like a lil kid with eyeliner

the calendar looks cooool haha still got my johnny jrs one still just sitting on my deski want a new one!!

waa..... but i want one! i finally have money to buy things and the thing i want is sold out?

YesAsia has sold out ONCE AGAIN. It's good for NEWS!!.. but gomen for all those who haven't gotten it yet. >< Demo.. I'm sure they'll get another stock soon. I'll let you guys know when they do. BUT YOU HAVE TO MOVE FAST! HAYUKU, HAYUKU!



Well, there is no differene between the music but the covers and booklets are different.. well.. actually, one of them has the karaoke versions of Sayaendou and Hadashi no Cinderella Boy. Both are actually limited edition. One will stop selling around June and the other one is just limited (gomen.. I cant explain things well ). I bought both versions. But if you only wanna get one.. I dont really know which one you should get. Cause with them being both limited.. ne.. its hard to choose.

If you do decide to order their single, get it at CDJapan because it counts towards Oricon. YesAsia doesnt.

NEWS calender has nice picture in there. I better get one for myself or I'll regret it. haha

I love NEWS>

NEWS calendar is chou nice ;_; i'm too poor boohoo... >_<! Cant wait till Sayaendou comes out. I'm only getting the Limited Version though, dont have money to get the regular one =_=;;; i have a question, why do some people still spell NEWS like NewS? XD''

wow soclose!!! from what perf is that with kame and yamapi??? i love the screencap! two really hot guys! whew!

oh wow. i wonder how the calender works.
if anybody got it, please answer my following questions please!
wut is the function of the calender? like, is it designed to be a desk-calender? or a pocket agenda?
is it divided into monthly, weekly, or daily? (i saw the pic of monthly. but are there weekly pages after that....??)

and does anybody mind taking a few more pictures of it?
like. i found some on the internet, but for some reason, i dont trust them.... XDDDDD!!!!

If people are still spelling it like NewS, then they are very late. XD That's the way they used to spell it, when they first debuted and whatnot. But then they changed it so that all the letters are upper-case. Either people don't know that they changed it.. or they're just so used to it, its normal for them to spell it that way.

The calendar is supposed to be in "diary" form or whatever. I think its monthly. But I dunno, I haven't got mines yet.

They have like a lot of picture and then the calender montly have a little picture on the bottom, something like that. THe picture are very nice, I just seen the picture at Love Song because I'm a member there. lol

should i stop? you scared me...so i guess i won't post them.

WAHHHH~! You posted the pics and I saw them! ><

I was planning not to look at any scans cause I wanna wait til I get my calendar. THE SURPRISE IS RUINED! LOL!

ok teshi-bear made me second guess posting it. so if you want to take a look at the full calender just go to pbf. sorry i'm one of those people who couldn't afford it so was happy that i found it and was going to post for other people who didn't get it. sorry.

Daijabou! You can go ahead and post it for those who havent seen it. Dont mind me. I'll just.. scroll past this page everytime I come to check the thread. XD

I just saw pics of the new Shuuji to akira performance~ i wonder when we get to see it~ but anyhow...

Yamapi's hair is WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY too long now!! he looks greasy!!! PLEASE GET A HAIRCUT !!!

onegai!


im not bashin him but imo his hair is kinda bleh now~~~oh well.. bad hair day ahaha

^ where did you get that?
i was dying to see the seishun amigo pref too...!!

we must have to tell one another RIGHT AWAY if either of us find out first...!!

well. if i say NewS, it means i am referring to their former self
when i say NEWS, it means i am talking about the current them....
but thats just me.

hey i'm *new to this topic called NEWS*.... i don't know much about them.... but i was just wondering, are they a group of singers???? or dancers??? or what??? i'm just curious becacuse i saw Nishikido Ryo's drama called "one litre of tears".... or "a dairy of tears".... so yeah, i was just wondering... oh and by the way, can i get some information on Ryo???? like how old is he??? so yeah.... thanks in advance!!!!!!!!

NEWS is a group of singers. <3 Welcome to the thread.

Some info on Ryo-chan? Well, here's some info...

- His birthday is November 3, 1984 (he just turned 21 last November)
- Born in Osaka
- Has 2 older brothers and 1 younger sister
- Joined Johnny's Entertainment on September 6th 1997
- Is apart of another JE group called Kanjani8

That's just some simple basic info. It's much better when you get to know Ryo-chan and know his personality and whatnot.

^ lol. i would say singer and dancers... um. entertainers, may i suggest?? XDDDD!!

i (personally) think ryo needs some anger control ... lol . i find he is the easiest one to get ticked off in NEWS. but then, hes still real gentle. <3<3
plus, its all on stage and in front of camera, so its all fun <3


i came here to say something ... but i forgot ... O_O''

hi i'm new here in soompi forums and i really love NEWS. my fav. is yamapi but i love all the guys in the group. they're really addictive

i know it's sad to think about what happened to them. i totally broke down when i found out. i forgave kusano already and instead of spending feelling down i decided to support NEWS all the way. i already reserved their new CD for myslef. gambatte!!!! NEWS!!

they'll come back i know it. with uchi and kusano too.

that johnny better not come up with something weird before then (i kind of blame the incident on him cause he let it out)

don't give up on NEWS everyone!

~~~~~

i totally love them guys!

I don't think Ryo-chan necessarily has anger problems. XD He's just crazy. LOL. jk. Maybe in the beginning of NEWS, he had a bit of anger problems.. like when he slapped Kusano. But he doesn't really have anger problems.

how he could be in 2 different groups, i don't understand that very well. could you explain me

BTW after yamapi, in my oppinion he is the second best looking, and he reminds me a lot to someone i know.

There's not much to explain for Ryo being in both NEWS and Kanjani8. Uchi is also with Kanjani8, as well. The two were with Kanjani8 before with NEWS. Starting out in Kanjani8, they were still considered Juniors so I guess it was possible for Johnny-san to also place them with NEWS.

So yeah.. not much to explain or tell.. he's just in two groups. The only person who can really tell you is Johnny-san.

It's a bit stressful, I suppose, for them to be switching off at times. Sometimes they gotta be with NEWS, sometimes they gotta be with Kanjani8. But they always manage to make it work so they get the best of both groups.

cute~

yeah, it was really sad. i panicked a bit, but after a while, it was okay. as long as the individual projects won't stop. i can't imagine not seeing yamapi or ryo for a whole year! and also uchi. i felt so sorry for him, since he's still suspended, and then the group got suspended before he can come back.

i am not sure (and too lazy to check) but i think you're the one said you're into jrock too...?
well. an example is hide. (if you're not the jrock lover, then totally ignore me, or else i am going confuse you further)
he was in x japan AS WELL AS a solo artists, and involved with spread beaver and stuffs.
or hyde. hes HYDE as well as the vocal of laruku~~~
^^

uchi and ryo are both in NEWS and kanjani8.
its like two projects going on at the same time.. =)

thats why i always have the feeling ryo's real lonely now.... =(( cause uchi isn't ALWAYS around him. like in the johnny's countdown, i was like. AWS. ryo's the only one whos running from Kanjani8 to NEWS. uchi's not with him... *sniff sniff*
whenever i think of that, i just wanne hug that kid and tell him its alright.
but then obviously hes alright. XDDDDDDD

anyways.
blood type: O
height:170 cm
weight: 52 kg (i would say he gained some more lately. look at his arm...!!! *purrrrr*)
and ryo's more like a ... "minor" or "sidedish" in Kanjani8
but then in my eyes, ryo + uchi are kanjani8. they're all that i look at *oppps* (its okay. its a NEWS thread... XDDDD oh ya. aws. kanjani8 doesnt hv their own thread here... ummmm.... well. i duno lub them enuff to open one for them.... =O='' )
anyways. class time~~
don't hesitate to ask us anything!!!

thanks for the info!

hey thanks a lot for the information... now at least i know more about them... ahah... as i get to know them more, i think that i'll become a crazy fan of theirs... ahah... i just hope that i don't get too crazy... otherwise, it will be scary... ahha.... thanks again!!!






really... ahhaha.. that's interesting about him!!! gosh, i'm really excited about reading all of these... cause they're a new group to me... so i'm really interested in knowing what i can know... ahahha...



hey, thanks for the information on ryo!!!! it's really amazing to get to know him more... and yeah... whenever i do come upon things that i don't really know... then i'll ask... thanks a lot!!!

sorry to ask i didnt know that it was something common in the JE world



well i'm not a fan of any jrock group in particular i said that i liked jrock in general more than jpop. well being in a group and being solo at the same time is something more common that a lot of singers worldwide do, but it was the first time that i see someone in 2 groups.

back to NEWS, Ryo is just 1.70, oh god they are all so short way below my standards, if i am near him i couldn't wear heels. but anyways he is still cute to look at.

hahaha~ You remind me of myself when I first got into NEWS. I didn't know much about them and reading about them from other fans.. I was always dying to know more and more! XD Especially when they would talk about a certain time or whatever.. I'd always be hearing "like when Ryo-chan did blah blah blah" or "Kusano did this and that".. LOL. It made me even more curious to get into them. Eventually.. I was a crazed fangirl. Demo.. being a fangirl is so much fun! But it really does cost to love anything JE. LOL



No need to apologize! ^^

If you guys have any more questions to ask, don't be afraid to ask! If you want any more info on any other members or as NEWS as a whole.. just ask! I'd be happy to lure you guys deeper and deeper into the world of JE.

well so far i have read 36 pages of this thread and i haven't found a profile. i just know yamapi, thanks to nobuta wo produce and now Ryo but i know nothing of the rest of them.

in other official threads i see that they put a profile in the first page. i don't know if i'm requesting to much, but a little profile with the basic stuff abut each one of them will be greatly appreciatted at least by people like me who are starting to know the group.

Well, I'm sure most of you who are new to NEWS were introduced by Yamapi or Ryo-chan.. demo.. I'll post all their profiles!

But get ready! It's a lot!....

Here are their profiles in order of their ages...

ekk sayaendou single 8 more days to go! (since it's march 7 in japan) >_< comon comon hurry up and release already.... ahhh sorry going off topic but since NEWS & KAT-TUN have their own thread, anyone here wanna start a K8 thread since K8 is <3? XDD

CANT WAIT TO GET THE SINGLE!! WHEEE~! LOL

Why dont you start the K8 thread? hehehe~ I already started the NEWS thread.. why dont you start the K8 thread! LOL. I think its time they have a thread here in Soompi. They need one! XD

Yes yes, start a K8 thread please
*raise hand* Recently, I have become a huge fan of K8

Stef, your new b-set is so lovable. He's so cute <33
And thanks for the profile

hehehe~ Yes, we do need a K8 thread! I love them! *coughs* Yassu, Ohkura, and Yoko are Stef's faves.. *coughs*

Sankyu! hehe~ And no problemo for the profiles.

yeah, it really sucks.......so..

....let's us make sure they come back with a bang! yeah!

thanks a lot for the profiles

they are all so short, i'm even the same height as kusano and so young, i'm older that all of them.

btw do you think they could make their new single number 1 in the charts with all this thing about kat-tun's debut. thei releases are so close and without pvs, perfs and stuff i find so difficult. and lets be honest true fans are the ones that pre-order, the rest need o see at least a perf or a pv to got interest in as single or album

^ yes
i have faith in NEWS and all NEWS fans!!!

i heard they're going to have a pv. they'll be wearing pirates outfits.... O_O''
its true that i hvnt seen it yet thou... O_O''

i believe they have had a few prefs. not much. cause there were lots of rips mp3 of sayaendou everywhere. of course actual mp3 version is better...!!
i never knew how ppl could get their hands on the actual version BEFORE the release... anyways. i appreciate those people ~~ XDDDDD

oh. and i think uchi and koyama are pretty tall. (especially koyama. i think he grew and grew and grew.. and uchi just sort of stopped. but nevertheless tall. kato too!!
yamapi is not bad.
i have always been a little sour about ryo and massu's height.
i am 167... 168. so ya.... =( so it means i can't wear heels when i go out with them... =((( (if i ever go out.. that is.. XDDDDD )

i finally listened to the nice cd quality of the two new songs and they are really good. at first i liked Sayaendou but now i think i love Hadashi no Cinderella Boy even more.

so they will have a pv. i really do hope so. at least they should give us something before NEWS leaves altogether for a little over half a year.

^ omg, me too.
i reli liked sayaendou
but after 2 days or so, i realized i liked cinderella boy more.. XDD
aws. my cinderella boys... <3

don't take my words for the pv. but i strongly believe so.
plus.... a single without a pv .... is really ...... new.
especially to johnny boys. they live on their faces...... XDDDDD

oh yes, we can't live without johnny boys' faces.


i also think there should be a K8 thread. we just can't have a kattun and NEWS thread without K8. plus i love K8 music.


thanks teshi-bear for the info.
i have to say that ryo's specialty at talking back is very true. i didn't know he was best friends with jun hasagawa because ryo always treat jun so bad. also didn't know he was close with jin because when i saw a clip of them performing on sc (which i'm sure everyone's seen) they seem so awkward together on stage but maybe they are good friends now.

i watched a clip of ryo talking and he said that he doesn't eat fish and his bro doesn't eat vegetables and his dad doesn't eat meat. i don't know if he meant doesn't want to or can't.

Ne.. to be perfectly honest, I dunno if there will be a PV. Usually PVs come out way before the single comes out. The single will be out in little over a week and there has still been no word of a PV or whatever. So I dunno.. I really hope they would! I mean, they can't use the six-member thing as an excuse. Kanjani8 did Sukiyanen w/o Uchi.. why can't NEWS do the Sayanedou PV w/o Uchi and Kusa? (Not saying that I want them to do it w/o them.. but still, it would be nice to see the PV with what they've got)

I have strong hope that NEWS will reach the top!
Demo.. them KAT-TUN fans are so crazy! They nearly wiped out all the pre-order sales for KAT-TUN's debut stuff! YIKES!

Still.. I have so much faith in NEWS! I know that they'll be able to reach the teppen. <3

And speaking of heights.. ne.. I think Shige is pretty tall. I remember way back when KKKity was first formed, Shige was with Koichi and when they stood up, Shige was taller than him. XD Ne.. or maybe Koichi is just short.
