hahaha~ I'm starting to buy my JPop (or anything Japanese) from CDJapan. YesAsia pisses me off with their expensive prices. mad.gif

I loved all of Teshi's photos in the calendar. He looks kakkoii in all his pics! <3

yesasia takes away the freebies such as posters and stuffs. i never knew that until a while ago, i was so mad.

Oh, mensa, I'm just like you!
Despite my mom and mom's friends efforts (to keep me from "forgetting an entire language" :/) , I just couldn't get into Japanese music/entertainment.
I had heard and seen some Kat-Tun things, and I really only liked Junnosuke. Of course, I had also heard of Tackey&Tsubasa.
But then I saw Nobuta, and BAM! I was into Akira. He seemed so much cuter in the drama, I mean dorky-like. Wooow, he's such a cool/confident guy....so different!
Now I'm obsessed with NEWS and Tackey&Tsubasa!!! I love those Johnny's.

actually, you know what? his friends say that he acts JUST LIKE AKIRA in real life, but in front of the camera... he's more serious, but around his friends, he acts like akira. that's cute, right right right?

Now that i discovered this group and that i’m slowly starting to like them, they disappear. It is so unfair, I wish I had known them sooner, but at the same time I think that It was better to me that I know them during this stage and not during their previous stage, because before they had that skinny, short boys image. That I honestly don’t find appealing at all. I like their current image they look more healthy and some of them are starting to look like men instead of kids (yamapi, Ryo etc), their voices are also improving, maybe it is just me but I think that they sound a lot better in Sayaendou that in the other old songs from them that I downloaded to check on the group at the beginning.

i know how you feel. i just got into news in february, but i already have every song by them. lol. i knew them before, but they didn't appeal to me [mostly yamapi] cuz they looked so skinny, & the way they dressed was a total turn off for me, but now i love them. yay for news.
oh!kura
WAS NOBODY PAYING ATTENTION WHEN I SAID THAT SHISSOU WAS OUT?! I SAID IT LIKE A PAGE OR TWO BACK! ><*


ANYWAYS...
no, NEWS was not in Montreal. It was just Tegoshi. He went in October for the film festival thing.

i was probably blocking you out cause this news is too depressing...........
WHY DIDNT ANYONE TELL ME?!!?!?
why didnt i know!?
i am so freakking stupid. my friend who was a volunteer told me to visit him. he was telling me how he could get signatures and meet "famous" ppl... but i was like "bleh, as if!"
i didnt know the freakin montreal flim fes has the power to invite ppl such as teshi to come over.... i thought only ugly, unpopular ppl would come.... or famous ppl who has relatives here....
i am so mad at myself.
but then again, i wouldnt know if it werent yamapi related.... =O='''

(this thread has offically driven me insane. with the ryo and tegoshi incident....)
mensa
yeah they wear those showy clothes in their past. honestly when i saw the vids and pics of then wearing that they made me remember those latin boysbands from the 80's, <--my mother was a fangirl too.

Tomorrow or today is the big day for NEWS, do you think they are gonna make it?? reach number one with 0 promotions??? it will be an incredible achievement if they do that.

hi guys! i introduced myself a few weeks ago but then disappeared right after so hello again lol.

Thanks for telling me about Uchi. He really is incredibly beautiful. I thought for sure he was mixed. ^^;;;

Nehoo...I made a yamapi tribute the other week with all the clips that I've been downloading. I don't have enuf NEWS clips yet, but after I do, I'll definitely make another tribute for them. I've been having a lot of fun listening to their music and watching Shounen Club. ^__^

Here's the vdo...it's about 230mb:

yousendit - [jewel thieves productions] yamapi - hey angels
megaupload - [jewel thieves productions] yamapi - hey angels

Hope you guys like it.

Oh and I had a question...do any of you guys go to this clubbox: http://clubbox.co.kr/shuji2akira ? I know it says 'to be a member click on button on yellow highlighted area' but...where is the yellow highlighted area? is it actually the orange bar kind of near the top with the box towards the right? I seem to be clicking on something, but I don't think I'm a member. I'm confused...sleep.gif Could somebody plz help me? And do you guys know of any other CBs with NEWS stuff in it?

Yes, you click the white button on the yellow highlighted area, the one where it says 'NEWS http://clubbox.co.kr/shuji2akira' on the far left.
If you're a member, under the yellow area there should be something like this:
"bubblepeach님은 준회원입니다" with bubblepeach being replaced with your username of course. If you're not a member, it should be "bubblepeach님은 손님입니다". Once you've clicked the white button thing, there should be a pop-up congratulating you becoming a member and the cb page will refresh itself and it will say "bubblepeach님은 준회원입니다". Uh oh, I hope I'm making sense vicx.gif

Oh btw, thanks for the tribute. Haven't got a chance to watch it but I'll come back with my comments later. Thank you smile.gif

=PPPPP

guys just wondering.. is ryo involved in some kinda rumour lately?
read about something on helen's blog that confused me.
WingL
^
um i have no idea either
but if i am not mistaken, she might be referring to the girl who jin "was forced to break up with". but then again. ryo + that girl... wasnt that ages ago.....??
maybe theres a new girl... ^O^!!!
but even so....... ummmm...
i am too depressed to anaylse anything. be back later.
maybe by taht time we'll hv more information to actually conclude something. =)

hrmz, i'm not really sure about a ryo rumor...

yay! "sayaendou" number one. even though they're on break, it'll never stop them from being on the top. <3
misz leedah
i think they can do it. =]
oh!kura
OMEDETOU NEWS!!!!

OMG, I am so happy right now!!!!!!! w00t.gif I'm so glad that they're at the top! Although it was inevitable they would reach #1.. still.. it makes me so happy!!!!! I'm so freaking happy for them!!!!

JE DOMINATES THE ORICON CHARTS! HOORAY FOR NEWS AND KANJANI8!

w00t.gif NEWS & KANJANI8 w00t.gif

Omedetou omedetou ^^
They deserve it. I hope they're gonna be at no. 1 for quite a long time. Is this ranking weekly or daily?
Anyone knows the exact copy they sell?
I'm so happy to hear they manage to get number 1 happy.gif
evil_zai
hi everyone!!!
great news!! they are no. 1 in Oricon!!!!
omedetou NEWS.
Ganbatte.

let's see if they can sustain this till next week. it's kt's debut. maybe there'll be a real face - sayaendou battle for the top spot. haha. interesting...
r/\inbow
^ this ranking is daily. OMG I KNEW THEY WOULD GET #1 ON THE FIRST DAY. <333 Poop, even if NEWS & K8 stay on top, they'll only have 6 days left (considering it's the 16th in Japan right now) being #1 till KAT-TUN kicks them off coz i'm hella sure KAT-TUN will be #1 on Single, Album, & DVD ranking for a pretty long time T__T;~~
angelicXD
wow is Kat-tun that popular in Japan? I mean we don't know if they will get #1, lol but I doubt that NEWS will be #1 for very long. But I hope they do so they can come back.

I just asking something here. So Kat-tun is more popular than NEWS because I read somewhere not sure what site it is but someone say that NEWS is not that popular of a group anyway so Johnny's decision on it does not affect anything.

I love NEWS no matter what.
oh!kura
I think all Johnny's groups/duos are popular. Or else they wouldn't be very successful, yeah? laugh.gif

Debbie, you're right.. KAT-TUN's debut is coming up so that means their sales are going to skyrocket. ><* Oh well.. at least NEWS made it number one on the first day! And I'm sure it'll last until the 22nd. XD

KAT-TUN is really popular in Japan. Probably because they came out first, before NEWS. Plus, all the fangirls love their ero-ness. XD

Maybe I'm being biased because I'm more of a NEWS fan than a KAT-TUN fan.. but even though all them fangirls love KAT-TUN because they're "so hot" and all their ero-ness.. NEWS is definitely more talented than they are. The only thing that makes me mad about KAT-TUN is how they're not at NEWS' level yet but at the same time, they're more popular than they are. dry.gif
WingL

kat-tun is popular in japan.
but no offical measure was taken since they've never debuted
but their past concerts show some figures.

i only like kat-tun for akame. t-tun... i have no interest in. (speaking for myself)
while NEWS, i like all 8 of them. so ya. =)
but kat-tun's debut is driving every girl in japan insane. even normal fans might turn into a big kat-tun fan of the day on their day of debut just for the sake of it. its just the entire commotion.

SUPPORT NEWS >3<!
( i swear i made a post already... but i can't find i anymore.... soompi ate my post!!! that is so freakken weird. its not even funny. and i made it somewhat colourful too.... >WWWW<!)

oricon took the figures off their site.... or at least i cant find them anymore (i honestly think i made a post on that. but i guess i didnt.... O_____O''')
the only way we can know is to wait for breakfast shows to talk about it. which really annoys me. i have been complaining about that since hyde's season's call.

i think whoever's in charge for the release dates has no brain for releasing NEWS and KanJani8's cd on the same day, and KAT-TUN's a week later. what is this? so the income for the cds won't be able to make it to this year's taxes.... so we'll somehow pay less taxes?!?!?!?!!?!? (i made this up, i hv no idea when the deadline for income taxes are in japan. but i know its march in canada...)
or did they do this to put double spotline on ryo...!??! i hv no idea..... argies.

not to mention it also clashes with some H!P girls...... =O='''
and i don't know if its just me, or does it seems like there was no release in feburary nor april.......?? (except tokio...... )
whoever made this decision has no brain *aham-mary*
i am buying 1 or 2 of the 3 cds..... i am poor yo. =O=''' if they were further apart, i prob would hv gotten all 3 of them. so ya.


( and i just cannot help but to mention uchi again. how sad is this entire thing for him?!?!?!? while ryo is celebrating for his double #1s on oricon, uchi is sort of a part, but then not really. OMG. uchi...!! DONT FEEL SAD OR CRY MY BABY!! U HAVE ME!!!! )

I agree with you 100%. hahaha but then I"m probably being biased too because I love NEWS more than KATTUN. biggrin.gif In a way I really don't regret not buying the calendar. sweatingbullets.gif , mainly because there's only six of them and I don't want a callendar without Kusa and Uchi. Tego and Shige look so hot in the callendar. So does Ryo (minus those animals of course). but I am kicking myself because I didn't get an Arashi one.

Congrats to NEWS for getting number one. I have to wait 3-6 days before my single comes in the mail. It seems like forever.
angelicXD
wow seems like Kat-tun is very popular in Japan. But I'm bias here I don't like them, but I kind of like Jin because he is a very good friend of Yamapi.lol See how stupid I am. lol

Anyway I support NEWS and Yamapi.

AHHHH. THE MENTION OF THOSE MUTANTS DRIVES ME INSANE TOO...!!!!
except those fishes around massu. they were a little more normal... thou the fishes were somehow as big as massu's head.... =O='' anyways. they were pretty calming.... so ya.
(when will i get over those animals...?? i have no idea... XDDDD they secriously give me nightmares yo.... especially when i stare at NEWS calender so much.... XDDDD)

and opps. i totally missed teshi-bear's post cause... she prob posted while i was typing mine up.... hehehhe~~
aws. teshi-bear and i really do get along...! we even check our NEWS thread at the same time...!! *YAY*

actually. i only like jin's eroness. kame's eroness is a little too.. cocky and fake for me. and i dont even dig that giru giru thing. i find it so... normal.

honestly. at least in my eyes (and i as far as i know, a few others too), we "LOVE" KAT-TUN only for KA ... or in some cases, only K or only A.
and... c'mon, this really won't work out!! when only 1/3 of the group is truly popular .. or even worse, only 1/6?!?!?!?
that won't stand!!!
at least i love all 8 of NEWS!!
if i have to rank all NEWS and KAT-TUN members, only. it would be all 8 of NEWS goes on top 10, while only 2 of the 6 of KAT-TUN goes on top 10...
this is not only really unhealthy for the group, but not a stable fan base either!
how bad would it be if jin quits... or kame quits? literally 50% of the fans of that group with be gone!
plus, kame's just really photogentic and a really good public speaker! hes not that charming afterall. especially not when you've seen thru him and gotten bored of his one-styleness. but then i have to acknowledge his hardworkship.
and jin's just.. hot but stupid. incrediablely stupid. i would think celebs who are dumb would at least shut up or be able to put out a fake "smart image" in front of cameras, but jin doesnt. i don't know if its cause he was exposed so much since he was a kid in junior days that he can't put up a fake "smart" mask.... or is he just incapble of that. thank god hes hot. if he werent, then what the hell is he gonna do?!??!?! he cant even beg right! but don't get me wrong, i like jin, alot. i would say hes 51% while kame's only 49...

i get bored with kat-tun's 2 person show. (kat-tuns literally 2 person's show. u can see by the PV. u barely see udea, whos suppose to be the leader. even yuto got more air time in seishun amigo than udea.. and koki, u see him rapping from time to time, but then he irritates me. plus, its dark, u barely really see him. and the other 2... i hv no idea where the heck they are. even in the group shot, u dont see them at all, they're like a blur. its just sad.) how is a group, so freakkin unbalanced, be sucessful???
unless the T-TUN are really willing to be walked all over and have no fame at all. or else, they're bound to end up worse than SMAP.

plus, akame.. are pretty flat characters. jin is plain bakaness, kame is too well rounded, so rounded that it can get too much)
they can do ero now to maintain and gain fans, but they cannot do that forever.
that basically how i feel toward kat-tun. i feel so .... "hit by the storm"
i will be all "wow. its kat-tun!!!" for a while. but after the kat-tun storm passes, it won't leave any marks.

whereas NEWS, it will leave footfrints in my heart!
r/\inbow
^ agreedddd~ IMO KAT-TUN is kinda unbalance....like it's getting better because Koki and Maru has more spotlight.... but before, it was focus so much on Akame. However Ueda & Junno still dont get too much recognition. Kame is such a mic hogger jeez...u_U and and i just dont see the special relationship between the members like i see in NEWS. (even though i like KAT-TUN, i prefer NEWS over them anyday biggrin.gif)

Argh what the heck these release dates are so screwed up sleep.gif;;!! On top of the CD releases......there were the calendars also XD; I dont like how it clashes with the h!p release too.....hey K8 beat w-inds. on the album ranking, inttterestingg XD~
luluchan
yeah KAT-TUN is defnitely WAY more popular than NEWS ~ but that's cuz NEWS started out to be like a ONE MAN show~ like most ppl just knew bout Yamapi @ the beg~ the other were just unknown JRs...
but it's got a lot better~ it used to be like ONLY YAMAPI i had a feeling~~

when u watch their concerts and stuff u know that the company spends way more $ on KATTUN than NEWS but that makes sense cuz Kattun brings more $~

KATTUN is basically just AKAME cuz they are "hot" haha

their concert Dvd sold more than 300 000 ~ and STILL on the charts~ that's crazy~

and no doubt KATTUN will top the charts when they debut next week
+ they WILL sell WAY more than any johnny group in the recent years (refer to SEISHUN AMIGO ~ that proved how popular Kame is ~ Yamapi never led sales to go THIS high)

and they even have TOKYO DOME debut concert and 2 more days @ the dome in MAy along with many concerts in the tour~ that shows how much more popular they are ~

i think I like NEWS' image more~ cuz they are cute/clean (desptite Yamapi's recent trials to go SEXY hahah.. i still think Jin can do better than him . but oh wells ahaha) and the NEWS songs are so genki~ they have more room for other styles too~ while KATTUN sumtime really overdoes it with the 'sexiness" (everyone likes that but i guess im different~ i like kattun when they are more 'natural") and they are kinda stuck to that~



oh!kura
I kinda feel differently towards KAT-TUN. I mean, even though I'm mad at how they're more popular than NEWS, I still do love them. I love them all, in fact! I always have a hard time picking out my favorite outta them cause its so hard. Actually, I always love Koki more cause he was actually the first one that I liked.

But yeah, basically, NEWS has much more talent and potential that KAT-TUN has. I still don't understand how KAT-TUN came out before NEWS and yet they still don't seem close enough with each other. The only pairing we really know about in KAT-TUN is AKame but they're not even as close to each other anymore. Then there's Koki and Maru.. but what about Junno and Ueda? When NEWS was first formed, they were all new to each other so it's understandable that they didn't get close right away. But look at them now.. two-and-a-half years later and they're closer than ever. Check out KAT-TUN.. they were formed way before NEWS and they're still not at that sort of friendship yet with each other. And I still get mad over the fact that Jin and Kame are always pushed in the front when it's Ueda-kun who's the leader.

I think what I love so much more about NEWS.. is their bond with each other. It truly does help them to work strongly together and to create great music. With KAT-TUN, I think they still have to achieve that special bond with one another.

Although KAT-TUN has AKame and they're very "hot", NEWS will always dominate when it comes to their pure talent and their strong friendship.

And actually.. I love NEWS' image better than KAT-TUN. I hate admitting it but AKame try too hard sometimes to be sexy. It just dont work for me sometimes. dry.gif With NEWS, I never see them as try-hards. I love their kawaii-ness and their genki selves. <3

^
thats what i mean when i say they dont cooperate with one another!
not much chemistry on stage (at least non ero chemistry. and even ero chemistry..... when jin + udea does that ero move... i find them so far apart, and to me, jin's more like "get this over with" feeling than "YEA! LOOK AT US!!" ). i dont now. perhaps they're doing it on purpose for people like me, who watches kat-tun clips (partly) for the sake of seeing them so awkard with one another. its funny. it keeps me entertained. baahhhhh~ i am mean. hahahha.

the tokyo dome business really .... fustrates me!
i know a lot of fans said this already. so i won't complain all over again.
and they probably feel it much more than me. but i feel it too. i m more like "YO. they havent done much yet and they get tokyo dome ALREDI?!?!"
we can say KAT-TUN deserves it after all these years, but we can also say "a lil early" for a just debutted group.


even early NewS, we still see chemistry between individuals. perhaps not as a group, but you see uchi+ryo, kato+koyama, massu+teshi.. etc!!
and even as a group, they worked well, as if they've been working a while as a big group already too!!

KAT-TUN has talents too. but. i find them common. its not "talents" we cannot find in NEWS or other groups.

especially after the akame thing, the entire kat-tun shattered even more .. in my eyes.
the fun/cool/loving chemistry is gone, and all i see is them all trying to hog the camera all to themselves.
kame's like "baka, get out of the way", jin's like "you too ugly, F-OFF!!", ueda's like "me leader!! ME PRETTY!!", koki's like "camera on me, or else..... *shakes fist* ", junno's like "ME CUTE, ME SEXY! LOOK AT ME!" , maru's like "i m cute too..!! *sobs* look at me, the lil sad, sexy boy.....!!!"
either its that, or none of them talks..... XDDDDD

NEWS has the give or take. thou its true that kusa's always in the back making faces regardless of who's talking... XDDD but thats just speciality of NEWS. in fact, its not that often that kusa talks, its more of him making faces... ahahhahahaha... ah man. i miss kusa...... =(

i will say kat-tun is hot. and i dig that. but no one's always hot, hotness doesnt always work, hotness doesnt last forever. whereas NEWS' allrounded will always be there.... <3<3<3

oh god. i gotta stop huh. we gotta stop turning NEWS thread into NEWS vs KAT-TUN.... *OPPS*

So glad to see that NEWS reached number 1 in their first day, and i hope they could keep that number 1 at least until kat-tun's debut, and after that a close second, showing that they don't need the over exposure to maintain their sales.

i'm going to give my honest opinion, imnot a news or kat-tun fan, i started to know both groups almost at the same time, kat-tun bein in their best moment and news bein in their worst one.

when i first saw kat-tun to me they looked like a duo with a group of chorus/backdancers<--thats how a non-fan will see the rest of the members. i still don't know the others name. the rapper well he does something different but i'm so used to real rappers that his wannabe gangsta image is like a joke to me (my apologise if this comment ofends anyone but i dislike gangsta posers). Honestly i only find Jin hot in that group, singing wise he made a hot duo with kame, but as i always said kame is like the most unappeling man to me alive. so far i have downloaded like 17 different perfs of this group to have a more informed opinion and i have to said that i don't like their ero thing on stage, honestly it looks like they have to depend on their bod and sex to turn on their fangirls. i find their songs more appealin to me that news songs because most of them are upbeat but i don't see myself anytime sooner bein a fan of them. kat-tun is like a 2 man group and if jin or kame ever quit kat-tun, i could bet anything that the group will be over.

news well i don't like most of their old songs like i said the first time i posted here, but i feel more attracted to them that to kat-tun... weird but true. singing wise i think that they have better voices that kat-tun or at least better voices than kame and jin at least in their last single, maybe it is just me but i think that their voices sound a lot better in this single that in their previous one. the reason for me not likin their previous songs is probably their style there, and probably if kat-tun have debuted earlier they will probably have gone through all those unappelin styles to me. and know that i think about it, to me know news at this time was like the best thing, because i'm learning to apreciate them for their individual qualities and talents. more than for seein them sellin themselves to me like if they were whores standin in the red zone


to finish i have to said this, popular and talent aren't sinonims, that a group is popular doesn't mean that it is the more talented group out there or that they will last long. there has bein a lot of examples worldwide of this statement, sure they made the money, sure they made the headlines but after their shine is over it is over of ever.

this is like me longest post in soompi, i hope it makes sense because when i write a lot is when my english starts to suck more.
oh!kura
NO MORE BASHING ON KAT-TUN. ><*

I don't consider Koki a gangster wannabe. Maybe to some, he may be a one. To me, I don't see him as one. I mean, I would consider him one if he tried to talk hella ghetto and if he foreal tried to be ganster. But he doesn't do that. Besides, his rapping is really good and he just likes to dress like that, its his style. So I dont consider him as a gangster wannabe. That'd be like calling Kusano a gangster wannabe. Kusano is strongly influenced by western music and at times his style reminds me of Koki, not to mention Kusa's now-and-then rapping. But I don't consider him a gangster wannabe cause he doesn't mouth off like one and he doesn't try to act hard and whatnot. That's just his style and same goes for Koki.

Sorry if I sound harsh. But Koki is my favorite outta KAT-TUN and he's somewhat like Kusano, too.. so yeah.. its like sensitive spot for me. ><
WingL
time to call in the long postponed pictures ..... for those who can read this.
i find koki similar to hisato of FLAME. and i am sure everyone knows how much i absolutely love FLAME. nothing of koki really bothers me. i guess its cause i love "bad boys". but i dont love koki. i am just... uninterested in koki or the rest of T-TUN.
well. actually. there is one thing of his that bothers me. its his brows. it doesnt fit him! i like his old brows so much better. but then the thin brows adds to his gangsta personality, so i guess i cant complain about that. LOL.
and akame. i love to hate them. thats all i have to say. i do like jin thou. and i love bakaness. in fact, i am really dumb. i am known as the dumb blond asian.... so ya. i guess i would go well with jin... XDDDDD anyways. enough.
pictures please!


OMG. doesnt ryo look hot here?!?!?!?!?! yes, RYO~ BABY~
i think i finally know why i like soompi's NEWS thread...
its cause.... *drumroll please*
~~~~~~~~~~~~ cause no one fights over ryo and uchi with me....!! and i get a good share of 65% of massu too.... *CRACKS UP*
i do see some competition of yamapi, but i shotgun him already... so HA-HA~ TOO LATE!! =PPPP
IPB Image
omg. koyama looks so hot
IPB Image
IPB Image
the eyebrows.... *faint*
its okay shige, we know~ its not your fault. its the stupid photoshop person...! WE LOVE YOU!!
IPB Image
massu's so hot.... *purrrrrr* but his pants... @___@'' ahahhaa. anyways. still cute!
IPB Image
and tegoshi's finally mature now..... *aws. the entire NEWS mature now.... <3<3<3*

my sincere apologise if my comment sound rude to you, but well it is not just koki (i finally know his name) i dislike all boysbands rappers in general. i have a very strong opinion about that, to me anyone who hasn't lived in a ghetto and tries that image is just a poser. and lets not talk about boysband rap because i have the feelin that things could get worst if i said what i'm really thinking.

i hope there will be no harsh feelin after all the things that i said. because i wasn't plannin to ofend anyone in anyway. it's just the way i am. i speak my mind without thinking that not everyone is unsensitive like me. so peace.

hahahaha~ well I don't find it THAT shocking or frustrated that Kattun gets to debut @ Tokyo Dome~ cuz Tackey and Tsubasa got to too~~

u guys all know how takki was popular back then among all the JRs

Well I'm just saying that Kattun IS more popular but doesn't mean that we should bash them~ i think both groups are different (their style totally different and songs too)

[ok i must say Koki's rapping bug me a bit in Real Face~~ the song is good tho~ i like the guitar solo near the end~ but kattun made the whole pt = SELLING SEX~ haha i don't know if that was B'z matsumoto wanted to see ahha]

oh wellz... no doubt fangurls buys more the sexiness of KATTUN now~
it sucks to see Akame not as close as b4 ~ but i guess they have way too much competition with the group ~ it's hard not to be competitive n less "frends" cuz they have conflict of interest~~~

as in NEWS ~ everyone knows Yamapi IS the main person~ there's like no doubt(Ryo's popularity just rose more so he's like 2nd now~he's so cute but needs to gain weight really! haha) ~ so things are easier to handle i think than Akame where there are 2 ppl~
oh!kura
Not at all rude. I just get really defensive of Koki or JE in general. I mean, I understand where you're coming from but I'm just saying how Koki doesn't try to be ghetto. It's just a style, yanno? Okay, I'm rambling on and its not even about NEWS. I'll shuddup now. smile.gif

No harsh feelings. Dont worry about it. ^^

LOL. Some of those scans are backwards. XD

T&T and KAT-TUN are different ne?
its a fact. no use to whine about it. and i am not whining or complaining.
but i do feel emotional towards it. i think any yamapi (at least, if not NEWS) fan would feel that.
but i m also sure someday NEWS will do it too. so its all alright...... =)?

Maybe I'm being biased because I'm more of a NEWS fan than a KAT-TUN fan.. but even though all them fangirls love KAT-TUN because they're "so hot" and all their ero-ness.. NEWS is definitely more talented than they are. The only thing that makes me mad about KAT-TUN is how they're not at NEWS' level yet but at the same time, they're more popular than they are. dry.gif


Actually, I don't like the whole ero ero thing. I don't think it's sexy or attrative. Even if it's Ryo doing that, I still don't like it. I always cringe whenever that happens. If it's just topless or unbuttoning shirts, fine. But the whole crotch grabbing ero ero thing is kinda vicx.gif

LMFAO!!!

THAT'S KOKI!!! XDDDD
And look, there's Toma, too!!!!! LMFAO!
WingL
IT IS!??!?!

of course. who else would rip himself off a shirt at the age of 15 to show that nice body.....
so much hair (don't think dirty) on skull.... (hahhaha. even i laugh) that i didnt really even think of koki... O____O''' i was more going towards a random classmate.....
okay. i am officially haunted by koki.
not only in this thread, but out of this thread too...!! *SCREAM*

look. he was so much cuter. to be honest, i liked him so much better as a cute boy than a cool gangster. but its his choice.
see. i sort of mixed him up with cute kusano!! koki would be so sucessful as a cute boy. (but then no i didnt mix them up .. i was onli suggesting that it might be kusa...... XDDDDD)

and i love toma ... <3 anyways. i do not want to start on toma, esp not in a NEWS thread..... promise to stop me if anyone see me starting... ok?? *tiny tear* ok ^_______^!

oh god. going off TOTALLY topic again... *hits head*
angelicXD
Honestly, I don't really like Yamapi with the "Let me" performance. The first time I see it, I was like that is cool but then later on I was like I hope he don't overdo those ero dance. I don't really like ero dance, when I was watching Jin's ero dance, I was freaked out. lol I'm just those freak out person who can't see anything scary. I call that dance scary somethings when Jin pop his thing like that. lol It is scary.

I hope all NEWS stay the same, well not as a cute image always but just don't change into something totally new or trying to be sexy.lol Even I don't really like Se7en's new sexy look but I'm still a fan supporting him.lol off topic.

hey, hey I kind of like Ryo after seeing 1 litre of tears. lol And I could say I love all NEWS.

OH one last thing, I hope Yamapi knows that he doesn't match the ero dance much. ahah Don't try to be like AKame. I hope he hears me. I'll scream out loud at the ocean. puahhahaha

I think we write a lot in this thread. lol It's just an english essay but with run on sentence. puahahah This is too funny.

I LOVE NEWS:::: I think people will get annoy if they kept on reading I LOVE NEWS I LOVE NEWS. hahaha

^Oh, I see that picture before, I was wondering who is the guy that took their shirt off. ahah Yamapi is just standing there like "dude are you on crack? ahahah
luluchan
i didn't like Toma b4 tho but back then i watched Neverland cuz of Tsubasa and there was Toma in it and he was so cute ehhehe
angelicXD
^Do you mean the boy on the far right on that picture where the one boy trying to show off his body?

haha i have never seen Tomo or Toma, he is a good friend of Yamapi. I heard news that he protected Yamapi once from that one guy fan who try to pour acid on Yamapi, but it turned out that it was just water.
oh!kura
I love NEWS' adorable, cute image. XD I mean, when they're being sexy, yeah, it's sexy. But I love how they don't overdo it and they're not tryhards. Besides.. the majority of the time, they're being baka. You gotta love them for that. <3

he's Yamapi's best frend i heard in the company cuz they've been 2gether for like 4eva~


hahaha i LOVED that epi of music station where they were talking bout Yamapi's weight gain and C CUP hahahah
WingL
lets not start on toma in a NEWS thread =)

i like the part in summary where yamapi's going like "i havent been doing my exercise, and i still weight the same!" (okay. roughest translation ever.... XDDDD )
then hes like "look at my muscles" (with jin..... people dont hate me for liking slutty jin too.... TOT!!)
that was my msn pic for a while.... ^O^!!

i love this pic of them. shige looks really good here. it's funny how kusano's dancing all funny and uchi and shige laughs.

love the pics. i love it how they always act baka... w00t.gif

i know this is random, but i saw something about it on the previous page. i think rapping is a style\genre of music. just bcuz you rap, doesn't mean you're ghetto or trying to be ghetto. i think it also goes to the way people dress. if you like that style, then there's nothing wrong with dressing that way. well, that's just my opinion. ^.^ for me, i think it's kool to have like one rapper in a jap boi band. even some of news' songs have rapping in it.

I'mnot a fan but I will be glad if they could keep the number 1 at least until kat-tun’s official debut.

In times like this is when real fans could show how much they appreciate their favorite singers, and not by acting like possessive psycho fangirls who don’t let their favorite celebrities have a normal life. This could show that they have real fans that are with them through tick and thin and not just bandwagoners who follow them because they are the hit of the moment or their looks. Yeah I know that bandwagoners increase sales but as soon as something bad happens they are the first to jump off the bandwagon.
jho
I don't know.. About the whole NEWS vs. KAT-TUN thing.. I don't really think we have a right to say who's more talented, etc.. Because c'mon, if you've heard any of their latest performances, Kame improved ALOT.. & Jin has always been a great singer~ Koki's rapping is good & Maru's beat-boxing is awesome.

Also, I don't think it's fair for us to judge the relationships between members of a band, regardless of how much we like them. Of course we can always speculate, but that doesn't take us much further. Sure it SEEMS as if so-and-so are really good friends and so-and-so are complete strangers, but we still can't really know that for a fact ne? XD

KAT-TUN & NEWS are completely different and shouldn't be compared to each other like that. NEWS fans don't like it when people compare NEWS & KAT-TUN side-by-side, so us NEWS fans shoudn't do the same either. Both bands share alot of the same fans, but their styles are completely different. Kitigawa-san likes to create bands that reflect what the industry is currently lacking (i.e. SMAP was originally intended to be a pseudo-rap group) He's doing the same thing here. It wouldn't make sense if he created another band that was the exact same as NEWS.

Where I'm getting at is.. The whole ero-ero thing is part of KAT-TUN's style, it's not like Kame just woke up one day and decided to seduce fans that way.

I'm not trying to go against NEWS or anything 'cause honestly I love NEWS alot more.. But I'm just trying to say that they still deserve their success yknow? I think the problem right now is not that KAT-TUN doesn't deserve their success, but its the fact that NEWS deserves more attention...

*Phew* Did that make any sense? XD But yes yes..

On a brighter (and more interesting note), I came across this article that said that Johnny's Entertainment makes an excess of about 3 billion yen (Approximately $25,538,430 USD) every year~ Wooow.
