I'm loving Masu's haircut. so cute. can't wait til NEWS actually comes back. I know it'll be a while but at the same time... I just can't wait to have that feeling when they're together again.

Really, you think their hands where cold? I think Masudas hand was so warm! ^^
And the way he hold it..... *melts*
But Tegoshi on the other hand seemed so much.. artist-fan thingie.
While Masuda was more like... " " ?
Yeah, i'm wierd! XD

Uwaaa, it's so cool that you live in Sweden,
I never thought another JE-fan from Sweden would be on Soompi!

Anyone listened to the latest Masuda no Master Hits?

*huggles back* x]

...
*O*
*jaw drops*
yama-pi!!!
!!!
thank you so much, ffgirl_07 even if mu is gay to me but thank you for sharing anyway ^^
-
ahhhh....it's funny that i found this pix in Ichiro's blog, a vk (j-rock) singer

he said something like this guy was hecka cute and looked so happy
(*´＿＿｀*)

well..he's right xD
but hm..hope he's not gay >.>;;

haha really.. i need to watch it..

^---hahaha me too!
People (again who wanted translations) tried to get me into NEWS, but I just didn't like Cherish or any other of their songs. Just not my type...In fact my thought was, "These types of bands are why I'm not into Japanese music." Then after Nobuta, I loved them so much more! Cherish is now one of my favorite songs by them...gosh...how did I hate it??? NEWS <3
My favorites are Tegoshi and Uchi...oh! And Koyama~~*

agree massu is cute. i love listening to massu's singing (and kusano too).

yamapi looks girly but still sexy with log hair. ryo said in his jweb that yamapi's hair is too long.

i guess it hasn't been cofirmed yet on what month or date that NEWS will be back. it will be great to see uchi, kusano, and the whole of NEWS together again. it'll be great to see how happy ryo is when uchi comes back.

He is promoting for his song...he looks cute.

Thanks for the commercial!!!
BTW, can someone help to upload the Yamapi's commercial in YSI or sendspace cause I can't seem to download using megaupload

Yamapi is my fav =)

He always pops out from the rest to me =D

TEGOMASSU ON DOMOTO KYOUDAI. AHAHAHA. gosh i love KinKi.
lmao the begining where Koichi was going "sayasaya sayasaya SAYAENDOU". so cute XDDD darn those lucky Sweden fans who got made made fun of mentioned on the show O_O! i giggled at the part where Tegoshi brought up the "TEGOSHI DE~SU" motto thought up by Tsuyoshi hehe =3 omg and the part where they showed the picture of Tegomass singing in karaoke with KinKi lyrics on the screen and Koichi couldnt reconize which song it was hahahaha XDDD;

kya~ so much love. 2007 COME TO ME NOW!! ToT


MASSU'S 3894082390WATTS SMILE. AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!! his SP drama is really good! his smile brightens up my monitor everytime he comes up XDD; hope ep2 subs come out soon TwT

I <3 Yamashita Tomohisa!!! HAHAHAHAHA ^___^ he's so cute in Nobuta wo Produce

hi ^^ my friend just converted me into NewS lover like 2 week ago lol ^^ i don't know if it's ok to ask this here but if it's not i'm sorry ><
can i request download link for the song
Cherish and the song Miso soup by massu and tegoshi?
thx you so much in advance

okay.. I haven't been to this thread for a while. I was just reading the first few posts that Ryo has a twin sister. is it really true? j/w. how come I never heard about it before... HMmm.. I can't see the pix. anyone mind posting up the picture again? Thanks

Ryo has a YOUNGER sis XD i think she's 19 or something? he wrote in his J-web about her getting married~

wouldn't it be something else if ryo did have a twin. i wonder how she'd look like.

...but yea ryo does not have a twin sister. there are only 4 kids in his family: 2 older bros, ryo, and one younger sis.


yay!!! it's getting closer to when NEWS will come back. which is when....?

HOLY CRAP DID YOU GUYS HEAR THAT RUMOR ABOUT THE NEW SAYAENDOU PV? 8D

OMG! NO! What's the rumor? Are they finally making a REAL video w/ all 8 NEWS members?

I was sad that the old man did not let them come back earlier to perform at MSSL '06, but hopefully they'll be there for the Countdown.

It's funny how everyone refers to Johnny as "the old man." I luv it; I'll use it too. XD

I seriously fell more in love with NEWS this month... I love all of their voices and I really can't wait until they're ALL back.

yeaaa omg the Sayaendou PV, hope someone uploads it. but i wonder if the cartoons of them are of 8 members? or only 6? i remember watching the fancam of the last 4/30 spring con, and there was a part where NEWS told the fans that the camera crew is gonna film Sayaendou so i guess this is what the filming was for +_+

Hm... this reminds me the song was sung by only 6 people so are they going to re-record it and re-release it w/ all 8 of them singing? If not perhaps Uchi and Kusano will just sing during the chorus.

yea...maybe just sing the chorus? i wonder what would happen to Koyama and Shige after Uchi & Notti comes back. will they go back to their we-only-sing-2 lines-and-the-chorus status? XDDD hopefully not!

i wonder if they're gonna sing any NEWS songs in the Johnny's countdown =DDDDD! omg the countdown con is my most anticipated show XD Pi, Ryo, TegoMasu will be there for sure, but what about KoyaShige?

yeah, that's just what I was thinking... just curious that's all. I also can't wait til NEWS is back. even though it might take a while for them to return.. I'm gonna wait patiently.

i'm one of the fans of NEWS...
never know tt NEWS got thread in soompi...
jus wan to say....
COME BACK NEWS!!

ur in luck

[news] 301206 - official Johnny's announcement
Johnny's Net updated with an announcement on NewS' return!

「NEWS」活動再開のお知らせ (平成18年12月30日)

本年5月１日から活動を休止しておりました「NEWS」は、山下智久、小山慶一郎、錦戸亮、加藤成亮、増田貴久、手越祐也の6名で活動を再開させて頂くこととなりました。
「NEWS」は、大晦日深夜の「ジャニーズカウントダウン2006-2007」（東京ドーム）から活動を再開いたします。今後のスケジュールにつきましては、シングルリリースやコンサートツアー等を順次予定しておりますが、詳細は１月上旬に正式発表させて頂きます。
ファンのみなさまや関係各位には、長らくご迷惑をお掛けいたしましたが、「NEWS」に対し、今後とも変わらぬご声援を賜りますようお願い申し上げます。
なお、これまで芸能活動を自粛させて頂いておりました内博貴及び草野博紀につきましては、ファンのみなさまや関係各位に多大なるご迷惑をお掛けしたことについて十分に反省していると認められたため、弊社において両名と話し合いを重ねた結果、本人の初心に戻って一から出直したいという意向を尊重し、研修生として活動を再開させて頂くこととなりました。
両名の今後のスケジュールにつきましては、関係各位と協議をさせて頂いた上で決定させて頂く予定となっております。
何卒ご理解頂き、両名にも温かいご声援を賜りますようお願い申し上げます。

A summary of sticking it through Babelfish says that NewS will return with 6 members and will appear tomorrow at Johnny's Countdown 2006-2007, while the detailed official release and concert tour schedule will be put up sometime in January. Notti and Uchi are restarting activities as trainees. I'm working on translating it better right now, but omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg omg.

edit → Rough, like, extremely rough translation of the announcement by me, so I probably missed some things until someone who actually knows what they're doing figures it out for us.

「NEWS」resumption of actions notice (30/12/06)

In May 1st, 2006, the action of 「NEWS」(Yamashita Tomohisa, Koyama Keiichiro, Nishikido Ryo, Kato Shigeaki, Masuda Takahisa, Tegoshi Yuya) was paused, but action will resume with these 6 members.
On 「Johnny's Countdown 2006-2007」(Tokyo Dome), 「NEWS」will resume its' action. Concerning their schedule from now, from single releases to concert tours and etc, the details will be officially announced in the first 10 days of January.
To all the fans, from a long time we have troubled you, in regards to 「NEWS」, from now on we wish that you give them your constant support.
Furthermore, the self-control (hiatus) from public entertainment activity of Uchi Hiroki and Kusano Hironori, to all the fans we have troubled very much, we have approved that there has been enough reflection. To both persons, our company wishes to discuss the return of these two, but to resume action as trainees.
From now on, the schedule of both persons', (lol I don't get this part but it's something about discussing what to do with their schedule or something.)
Please understand their feelings, we wish that you give warm encouragement to both persons.

I CANT WAIT FOR THEM TO BE TOGETHER AGAIN AND HOMG I GET TO SEE MY NOTTI <33333333 I CANT WAIT!!!!!!!124U HFDJ HSADKJFHKJQ43FKJDSAHFJKSHDAVCSJD;;LFA

RedWestManon you're not joking are you?! Because you got me super excited! *jumps around* yayyay

nope not joking!!! NEWS is coming back tomorrow night...err well tonight if you're in japan~
hopefully the outfits won't be horrendous but you know how Johnnys is

and also i'm still waiting to see the Sayaendou PV
CAPS ANYONE?
cute cartoons

wahh massu has chicken on his head XD

from the con


theres another one i think
but yeah the PV is just footage of the con and cartoons so far!
still waiting for the links~

too bad still six
but we'll wait for the other two to get out of "trainee" mode or whatever

even if kusano and uchi uchi are trainees i'm still glad they're back at all~~~ i mmisssed uchi sooo much TT_______TT

NEWS is coming back without Uchi and Kusano-- they're going back to the very bottom of the pyramid of Johnny's world.

yes i heard that NEWS will be performing at New Year Countdown excluding uchi and kusano because they are just trainees now. trainees as in can't do any public appearance and have to re-learn the basics (of dancing and singing i guess). so NEWS is coming back with 6 members only...for now. they will have a calender out in March. also, supposedly (i'm not sure about this) their single Sayeandou will have another pv made from cartoon characters of 6 member NEWS and some footage of their concert.

their coming back is kind of bitter sweet. of course i'm happy that they are coming back but NEWS isn't truly NEWS, for me, until all 8 members are together again. well i'll wait and see what the future will hold for NEWS.

Trainees.. like they're juniors again? Does that make them really part of NewS then?

But yay for them being back!

I'M EXCITED FOR THEM TO COME BACK! :]
Too bad there's only six of them...

A "trainee" means, according to this article I read, a member of "Johnny's Jr." who just got scouted or passed the audition. He will then prepare to debut (in some time...), getting lessons and practicing.

Seriously-- Johnny and the rest of the crew are telling Uchi and Kusano to LEAVE. I mean, the two are already officially retired from the groups, NEWS and Kanjani8. JE was considering kicking them out, but decided at the last minute to let them stay as "trainees". When are they ever come back? It's so degrading for the boys... going back to the beginning with 8-year olds... psh.



oh by the way....
I cannot describe how hideouspurple the NEWS outfit was on the Count-Con.

YAMAPI!!!!
YAMAmini cooperA TOMOHISA!!!!
He's the reason I listened to NEWS at first, hahah.



Edit: WTF I can't even type Yamas-hita....

i can't wait to watch the countdown.. hint hint d/l it right now and just got done watching Sayaendou PV!! it's totally awesome!!! i cna't wait to see more of them!

ahh the PV was so cute

so was the performance on the countdown

the costumes XD sooo johnnys!

gosh the Sayaendou PV was SO DAMN CUTE XDDDDD the cartoons just killed me TwT ahhh the bravo bravo with the rock paper scissor XDD i love the hand movements for this dance~

I believe training is (SOMEWHAT???) reasonable for the guys because they're probably out of shape and have a LOT of catching up to do, especially Uchi since he missed a lot. I dont think Kusano missed that much though but it's only fair for both of them to be trained....yea i guess trainees are placed below the juniors but Kusano & Uchi were already juniors before. why the heck would they go backdance for...like KUNTT KAT-TUN or something? but i have faith in the guys! If they really wanted to give up, they would've quitted after they got suspended ne? why bother going back to the public and be criticized/give up their life as normal people? but they didnt, so we gotta believe in them!! [/corny rant]

Yay they're wearing their concert outfit on the countdown <33 omg i want to download the whole thing T______T

Exactly my point.. I think rather than expelling them itself, JE is waiting for the two to quit... it's like testing their patience... bah.
I guess I'll go watch sayaendo pv..hooo

I love how Massu's animated pirate design has chicken on top of his head for the Sayendou PV. XD
Ahaha, also love the part where everyone had the SOS letters up and then Yamapi comes. OH! And the part where they all get the treasure but Massu has a pig. LMAO.
I'm a bit sad that Uchi and Kusano isn't going to be back so soon though. (Notti's my 2nd favorite from NEWS.)

Hmm, haven't seen the countdown performance yet. Seems good though!

I agree with you, dr jung. It seems like Johnny is testing them out or something but so weird at the same time as a trainie(IMO). As long as they're coming back but whatever happens.. happens... I guess. Anyways, I can't wait to seem them both again. It's been so long since I've seen the whole NEWS perform together. I really want to see how they look like.. it's been so LOOOOOOOOONG.

I'm so glad that NEWS is back (though not all of them) but I'm so sick of hearing people being so cynical about this.

Yes, Uchi and Kusano aren't back just yet.. but srsly, GET REAL PEOPLE. THIS IS FREAKING JE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE. ANYONE WHO IS A JE FAN SHOULD KNOW THAT THINGS DONT ALWAYS HAPPEN SO EASILY AND THERE ARE GOING TO BE DRAWBACKS.

And plus, would it really be fair to just throw Kusano and Uchi back in after all this time of their absence? They havent practiced and they're not caught up so its only fair that they learn everything that they need to learn so they can come back with full force. If they came back now, so suddenly, they wouldnt be prepared and it would only delay the return of NEWS (and the full KanJani8). Cant some people just be happy with the fact that NEWS is back? Yeah, its not the full NEWS.. but that'll be just a little more time. Have some patience, Kusano and Uchi will be back! They're going to work their damndest and they'll come back soon enough.

I dont want to start any arguements with anyone but srsly, be a little optimistic here people. Have some faith in Kusano and Uchi and JE. You lose hope in them, you're basically already rejecting their return.

Totally agree that nothing comes easy in JE . I was disappointed that the return of NEWS did not mean the return of all 8 members, but that's better than nothing and I was definitely expecting them to perform at the countdown since it's exactly '07! I've only waited for 6 months for their return, so I can't even imagine what their fans went through having to wait for a year. However, their suspension seemed kinda useless other than to set an example that if you disobey the rules then you'll be severely punished. If Johnny didn't plan to bring back all 8 members and wanted Uchi and Kusano to be trainees than they could've done that from the beginning and allow the rest of the members to be active as NEWS members. What's the point of punishing the rest? How long must they remain as trainees before they can become part of the group again? I'm assuming that since they've already recorded Sayaendou w/ only 6 members they probably didn't want to spend more money and re-record the album w/ all 8 members so hopefully this 6 member thing will only last until their next single is released (hopefully w/ all 8 members).

Just watched the new Sayaendou PV, omg... I hope they'll release their concert on DVD. I saw some fancam clips and there was one where YamaP took off his shirt and damn.... He was is HOT
I also watched their perf. at the countdown; everyone seemed so happy to be performing together once again. I can't wait until they start promoting Sayaendou. They will promote that single right?

Kusano_moles: do you have anymore NEWS banners to share? I'd like to use one in honor of their return.

Just finished uploading their perf. at the countdown and thought I'd share it here for anyone who's interested.

Yes...they're back!!!! So sad that my darling Uchi and Kusano isn't back with the rest of them yet...but I really hope to see all 8 of them n the same stage soon, after this whole training thing

Best of luck to all 8 boys! Ganbatte!!!

nevermind. (New to posting to soompi...) If anyone wants the PV, just PM me.

trainee-->lower position than a junior, no public appearances, training and lessons only....i think

>_>
