i hav been reading the BOYS' diaries. The only one who said about Uchi was Keichan. Yamapi didn't even mention about the 'surprised guest' as keichan said in his diary. Yamapi who write his diary everyday,missed the event to write about Uchi?
it's probably just me...but seemed like Yamapi didn't like that tho...

we have no idea whether or not yamapi liked it or didn't like it. it's not in yamapi's nature to mention sensitive things like this on his nikki bc he is very politically-correct on his jweb. For the most part he only talks about neutral things, such as what he ate, and what he did that day. He's unlikely to mention even other members unless it is in some way connected to food lol

And it's very much like Koyama to mention Uchi because Koyama loves everyone and writes about everyone.

Just my thoughts.

Although I miss them, what's been said about not getting enough screen time is what made me rethink it. But still, they could do it better. I mean, Kanjani8 for instance. They are(were) 8 and they do perfectly fine. I think it's just that they don't bother and figure, "oh well, most people just want to see Yamapi, so we'll give 90% of the camera time to him". It's frustrating >__<

^I know, right? It's like, NewS was just "that band Yamapi's in" and nobody really paid attention to the other members. I think it'd be okay to give the members enough screen time too because they've really grown and they have a lot more fans now. Haha, everywhere I go there's a lot more Shige fans than there used to be. Yay for Shige love!~
I think Massu needs lots more love, however. ):

^ I think it'd be fine to give more screen time to the others even if they didn't have more fans. That way they actually have a chance to gain more, rather than just being "the other's in Yamapi's band" in people's heads. I mean, of course I must admit that I know NEWS because of Yamapi, but it was never Yamapi + others. To me (at first) it was NEWS (including Yamapi on the side) XD But when I first got into them, I was actually confused as to who Shige was because I barely ever saw him, and I couldn't remember his face. I was like, "WHO IS HE!?!?" because you'd see him for about 3 seconds total in about a 4 minute clip >__< But yay for more Shige love! *Dances* It's because of his essays in Myojo I swear XD That's why I'm kinda off about the other's coming back though. Like, would Shige get shoved in the back again? ;~;
Ahh, I've always loved Massu. So smiley XD

Hah, I got to know NewS and got sucked into Asian boybands in general because of...Tego, haha. Surprising? That's why I love him; because he's the first JE boy I was exposed to. Actually it was KAT-TUN, but like you said over at the KAT-TUN thread, their looks didn't wow me and I didn't find them so likeable. :/ I first started loving Shige because of his blog entries. They were so funny and I love how much he fails sometimes. ^__^;; Also, he said he wanted to go to Canada! Homg, Shige, come here already! Bring Tego, prease.

lol, I used to have the hardest time telling Shige and Kusano apart. It's the eyebrows, I tell you.
But then I realized Kusano was the one who could dance and Shige was the one that, to put it bluntly, couldn't, haha.

And Massu is so cute. :3

hmm i'm not sure how i feel about uchi and kusano joining again.
i really got used to there being 6 members and i feel the dynamic with 6 members is good enough for me.
but thats just my own opinion~
but i am happy and uchi got out of trainee life~
him and ryo make a dynamic/funny duo!
not to be mean but even when kusano was still with news i never really paid attention to him ahahaha =x
so i have no real feelings towards kusano at all except that dude that got kicked out of news.

^ I'm used to 6 now, I mean, most people are it's just.. I always feel like NEWS was better as 8. Even these days, as much as I love pacific, I barely listen to it because I know Kusano & Uchi aren't there. It just feels .. wrong .__.


Yamapi was the first JE boy I was exposed to. Uhh, unless you count Tackey years back and I didn't even know his name or that he was even in JE (I didn't even know what 'JE' was ^^) heh So somehow, seeing Yamapi feels nostalgic somehow XD I love Yamapi. I think he's ridiculously popular but I think at least he has reason to be; like he deserves it.


I love how much he ridiculously over-thinks things. Dude, your bias is blinding me XD


The eyebrows? I think it's time for me to go look what you mean XD I don't really pay much attention to people's eyebrows, except that really obvious ones (like Jun and Kame >__<).
Ahahah it's true XD But at least Shige dances better than Tego. I love looking at chibi Tego clips because he was just so embarrasingly bad XD Even in the NEWS Nippon pv, I swear he stacks it, but they cut just before you can see it properly XDD


But he suuucks at acting XD I don't think it's possible for him to do anything but be all smiley and cute. But he was good in Waraeru Koi wa Shitakunai ^^ ('cause the part was just so.. Massu XD)

Actually, NEWS in general aren't great actors, imo. I mean, I think Yamapi acts well, but as for the rest of them.... *coughs lightly*

Lots of people comment on my ridiculous Tego-love. Just accept it.

Dude, Takki is *_____*.


Haha, but Tego was new! If Shige didn't dance better than him, I would have been scared. And he got better. At least he can do passable hip-rolls now. :/ God, chibi!Tego's dancing is ridiculous. But I like watching him as a kid on Domoto Kyoudai. He fangirls Yamapi so much and Yamapi's expression is so funny. o____O lol.

Yeah, NewS is just not that great at acting, but then most Johnny's never turn out to be anything more than mediocre. It's the entertainment that keeps me here. ^___^

Well, at least, I'm more entertained in this fandom than SM. Because as cute as the boys are, they just don't keep me that interested.

I've been waiting for the 2 to come back for like years now. Yes, you guys are right about the screen time but this way before. I mean, the other members who didn't have a lot of screen time before are more popular now and have fans so I doubt the screen time will change if the 2 will come back.

I just saw the vid of Daidaya of Ryo's date with Haruna 12.29.07 the ending was o_O
but when Ryo had to stare at her it was omg to die for.

^What? *lost*

God, now I've stumbled onto UchiandKusanoreturntoNewS!fic.

;______; i feel so emo right now.

*wails*

*bangs head against wall endlessly*

*dead*

STALKER! XD It's okay, I accept it. Everyone has their obsessions XDD

He really is *____*


I still don't think he dances that well, but he has improved. Somewhat. I just like how awkward he was XDDD


Well of course, with the exception of Nino obviously *__* *flails*, they're not supposed to be. Let's face it, they're just there to boost the ratings XD

That's what I found. Like, I just couldn't care less about the latest thing they were doing *shrug* ^__^


That's what I'd hope, but I also never thought they would split Ya3. God knows what they'd do for what they think is best -__-;

Uhhh my double posting is totally not just to revive this thread I swear eheheh. NEWS supposedly have a new single on February 27 called "Taiyou no Namida"「太陽のナミダ」for the Kurosagi movie XD (Source: heroismine@lj)
I'm glad it's not just Yamapi doing a solo for it ^_____^

EDIT: Gahhhhhh the song's so pretty *___*

Also, Uchi will be starring in a new j-drama and Ryo will make a guest appearance. For now, Uchi & Kusano may not be returning to NEWS; instead they might have solo activities.

lol that's my link XD but it's fine...SPREAD THE LOOOOOOOVE <3

i swear johnny is trying to kill us tho. Like there's the news about news' new single and now arashi too?

btw, did anyone else hear that the boys forgot/didn't really know the dance for taiyou no namida? i heard they all kinda...failed. and shige just gave up in the middle XD

but seriously, johnny what are u doing to them? like they have time to learn a new song and a completely new dance in the middle of their freaking concert tour =____='

NEWS, OMFG. *_______*

I'll be back with a better comment after watching.

*is supposed to be doing homework*

NewS!!
I'm big P fan haha...but yeah i love their songs^^

^ *Jumps around waving* HELLO!
So many people are Yamapi fans XDD

@ superfreakk
NEWS is more important than homework anyway XD

NEWS IS BACK! LOVED THE PERFORMANCE ON JOHNNY COUNTDOWN FOR 07-08! v'-' I JUST STARTED LISTENING TO THEIR SONGS & SOMEHOW TEPPEN IS SOMEWHAT ADDICTING TO LISTEN TO EVEN THOUGH THE SONG IS OLD - - NEED TO LISTEN TO THEIR NEW SONG FOR THE KUROSAGI MOVIE THO ANYWAY, DON'T YOU GUYS THINK UCHI LOOKS LIKE A MIX OF TAKKI & BAKANISHI? HEHEHE

^lol, really? I never really thought of who Uchi looked like. He always only looked like...Uchi to me. XDXD I don't like Teppen. It depresses me; makes me wish Kusano and Uchi were really there. T__T

^ Uchi ..yeah. Just looks like Uchi. I used to call him bean-head before I knew him Just as Kame was cherry-cheeks XD ehheh.

I love teppen but it does have that feeling of ;~; Though a lot of them do. It's just that they re-recorded it, like reinforcing their not-there-ness D:

Edit;;
Oh, more MF links for more tv report thingos (credits to youchandesu@lj for the original links) in case anybody (though this thread is pretty deserted XD) wants them. People always leech anyway. I know you do >:D *points*

and here's the radio rip of Taiyou no Namida because I forgot about it earlier (credits to cynicalism@lj for the original link) *_____*
http://www.mediafire.com/?emo8h9slsgd

actually, they didn't re-record anything new except TEPPEN. everything else on there is either a new song. one of their 'signature' songs or from a single that was released when uchi/kusano were already gone.

i say this from a completely loving NEWS pov, but wow. RyoPi doing Seishun=fail XD Ryo totally didn't know the dance. so unsynced.

And this is totally not their fault(well. lie. partly their fault, but freaking johnny for makin them learn it during con tour)....their dance for taiyou no namida failed too LOL shige just stopped in the middle and gave up <3 that's my boy

i'll say this now XD (i've thought this way since like. i dunno. forever. lol)

NEWS=next arashi. there are so many signs =P

I LOVE NEWS!!!!! MY FAVORITE SONGS ARE CHERISH AND WEEEEK(ALWAYS HAVE TO COUNT THE E'S XD)

I LOVE YAMAPI BECAUSE HE'S THE REASON I FIRST FOUND ABOUT NEWS. AND HE'S HOTTT
I LOVE TEGOSHI, HE'S SO ADORABLE. HE'S SO CLEVER. I WANT A LITTLE BROTHER LIKE HIM.
I LOVE KOYOMA. WHEN I FIRST SAW HIM I THOUGHT HE'S LIKE ONE OF THOSE GUYS WHO ALWAYS TALKS AND TRY TO BE FUNNY. BUT HE'S REALLY NOT. HE'S ACTUALLY FUNNY AND HE SEEMS REALLY SMART. I LOVE THIS GUY
I SHIP RYOPI BUT I STILL THINK TOMAPI'S ICHIBAN

^ HOLYBAJEEZERS CAPSLOCK XDD
I love Cherish, I love the dance for it ^________^


Ehh, was this an attempt to correct me? Because I was talking about how listening to any of their old songs (back in the touch days) had that feeling, and just how TEPPEN was re-recorded not the entire album.. D:


It was hilarious though! If they'd been able to dance it, it wouldn't be as amusing now XDD
Shige is adorable XD ahaahha.


That... is a pretty cool thing :0

Haha, Tomapi is cute. :3

TEGO IS AWESOME, SJKDNKFNSD. Yamapi is hot. I don't ship Ryopi. >:D

And Koyama is the best thing ever. I love him so much. 8D

NEW's schedule seems to be kinda predictable. It seems like they have a winter/spring concert every year, along w/ a release of a new single. Then the members separate for a couple months and do their own thing, Ryo w/ Kanjani8, Yamapi w/ his drama filming, TegoMassu, etc... and reunite over the summer. Does anyone else notice this?

Also, I read from fan reports of their second Tokyo Dome concert that it will be made into a concert DVD. If that's true, I hope the DVD will show the ENTIRE concert in its entity. Like, not broken up like their "Never Ending Wonderful Story" Concert DVD.

I LOVE TEGOMASS. SUCH A DUO. MISO SOUP IS AWESOME. I ONLY LIKE THE JAPANESE VERSION THOUGH.

HAVE YOU GUYS SEEN THIS? COVER OF 1-10-08 CONCERT AT TOKYO DOME. I REALLY WISH I WAS THERE. BEEN SUCH A LONG TIME SINCE I WENT TO JAPAN...OR A CONCERT IN FACT. MY LAST CONCERT WAS H.O.T CONCERT!! IT'S BEEN YEARS SINCE THEY BROKE UP TOO... NOBODY COMES TO CHICAGO. SO DULL HERE.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=xJGI7aVVseY

^ LOL, Tegomasu is love! I met Tegoshi and Massu when they came to Sweden and I even shook their hands
It was such an amazing experience! I cried like a baby *shot*


Anyway. Did you guys hear? Uchi's gonna be in a drama with Ryo.
FJDKHFKJDS I'm so excited, omg! I'm only waiting for Kusababy now
Miss him sooo <3

JDKJSFBKW. I HATE YOU, YOU ARE SO LUCKY. I wanna touch Tego.

o.o

Yea, Uchi's back. It's awesome, but I'm waiting for Kusano, especially. 8D

^
i personally loved how they do that BTS in between the concert ^^;; its actually not boring to see, actually that will be their style for NEWS i think because they had that ever since NEWS NIPPON 0304 ^^;;

i think Shige is the hottest boy in NEWS... Yamapi is cute hot while Shige is mature hot.

^
I SOO AGREE WITH YOU!!

actually some people said, in real life Shige is the most hottest in person, they said the cameras dont give justice to his beautiful face XDD

It's funny how girls on trains don't recognize him though...XD

And I think Yamapi is manly hot. Have you seen his body, omfg snakdjnakjfhkajfs.

omgosh i love NEWS! i'm a new fan haha. Ryo and Tegoshi are my faves
dun really have pics but i'll contribute soon ^^

^ Well he's not particularly a 'trainee' anymore right? I just can't wait to see him on tv or something *_________*

That's what I mean. Even if he comes out with a crappy drama, I'll totally watch it.

ooo i think i saw a vid of that on youtube and they sing that amazing song Miso Soup XDD there's just no getting over that song, but BUT BUT BUT they sang it in english. arg. so i can't hate on it. alsdkfaonsgfkajbhg;kaj (thanks jesseski you got me scrambling now XDD)

^
^ Of course, of course I mean, it's Kusano after all *__*


I did? ..I'm kind of... proud of myself XD

so the b-side isn't snow express. oh well. *shrug* frankly i never want that song to be off. released. it's nice to have one song that's just a concert special anyway.

lady spider sounds interesting.....i hope it's ballad-y

hello minna-san. i'm new in this thread. been spending too much time reading NEWS fanfics at LJ XD. love the group so much especially Shige. well, all of them are simply lovable (can't hate anyone). I like Yamapi's handsome face, Tego's awesome voice, Massu's cute smile and dancing skills, Ryo's sexiness, and Koyama's good naturedness. and of course, i adore everything about Shige -- his brain, honesty, and looks, even his awkwardness, insecurities, and dorkiness. aaah, i can go on and on and on so i better stop my fangirling now...lolz. will be visiting this thread more often to check on the latest about NEWS. bye for now

Hm I'm new here too. =] Hiya~ <3

I was wondering...On Wikipedia it said that "It is well known that bandmate Ryo Nishikido likes him a lot, often doting on him and coining the nickname Tegonyan. ", I was wondering if this was really true. In a lot of clips I watched of News, it doesn't seem like it, although I have seen some pictures of them together. Anyone wanna pic spam or video spam this for me? I absolutely think that Tegoshi is adorable and I think it's really cute that Tegoshi used to be imtimadated by Ryo at their first photo shoot. =] Does Ryo really like Tegoshi a lot? It's so weird to me because Ryo seems like a cold person on the first impression (altho I know this isn't true).

Nooo, I thought Ryo was a really nice person. but he keeps to himself ALOT I think, so he seems cold ):

My impression of Ryo: Hot but a bully... he has nice abs..... but he's mean to Ueda

OTHER MEMEBERS SAID THAT RYOCHAN IS REALLY CARING TO HIS CLOSE FRIENDS AND MEMBERS AND THAT HE LIKES TO BOSS AROUNG TEGOSHI XD AND THAT HE'S THE MOST PREVERTED ONE IN THE GROUP

I thought Kusao was the most perverted rofl!

I thought Tego said Uchi was a perv?

Actually, my opinion is that Ryo likes to insult/tease other members, but he can be really sweet too. I liked reading his blog entries when he was talking about the other members. He was so cute and askdhakswghtkjsh. He's really not that bad. And I find that Ryo vs. Ueda thing just really, really hilarious. XD
