don't get me wrong i love uchi and kusano but i don't want them back in NEWS for few "reasons"
1. i'm so used to 6-member news, i don't think i can get used to 8-member news now.
2. no more ryopi!! instead we get kusapi and ryouchi(both pairings i don't fancy much)

Heh, I don't like Ryopi. Half the fic out there is crap and ruined it for me. Anyways, like I said, I don't mind if they go back to NEWS. :\

Huh, I always thought that Yamapi said that he spent half his life with Toma, not Ryo...:x

i have no prefernce for RyoPi actually. i like TegoMass more.

i like NEWS as a 6 person group as well... they just seem to mesh better~

^That they do. That's why I like six member NEWS too.

yeah just got reminded of, i mostly read that yamapi mention that he have know toma half of his life but never say Ryo thought it's pretty much have his life as well..ryo just join je one yr later...and i think it's becaue mostly ryo was in osaka and pi/toma was in tokyo

Yamapi was closer first with Ryo as a jr than he was with Toma. Tomapi happened AFTER Ryopi. =] I say it as a Tomapi fan, too. lol

And about the quote that he said he knew Ryo half of his life, that was his rap line to introduce Ryo during the NEWS Pacific concerts recently. There are fancams of the rap segment so it's not hearsay~

Just curious... who is YamaPi closest to out of Toma, Ryo and Jin? Jin, no? [ shrugs ]

I'm used to a 6 member NewS - they were introduced to me that way, so, for me, it'll be a bit akward if they went back to an 8 member spread.

We have a lot of new posters - hi, and welcome. [ giggle ]

I was just skimming the 2004 Spring concert perf. and saw Tegomass sing "Arigato Ima". Hey they sound pretty good. Tegoshi put a lot of passion behind his voice... I kinda like it better than the SC perf. with the 8th NEWS member (what happened to him anyways? what band is he in now?)

anyways, this thought keeps bugging me.. but the way Massu sings.. doesn't it remind anyone of YUI? their facial expression is similar when they want to put some emphasis to a note.

you mean the 9th member? he's in a jrock band now. i checked out a recent song of them. his band is really good actually.

^ o_o oops yeah the 9th.

which is his band?

I thought it was Shirota Yuu. Yamapi even refers to him as mabudachi in his nikkis..everyone else...he just calls them by their names...but I dunno.



his band is called One Ok Rock
pretty catchy song, ne? his new hair suits him better.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=_L284-USS5k

LOL massu makes a unique face when he sings. i have learned to accept it about him.
he is just really passionate about his singing.. lol do you notice how me moves his hands as well?

oo that's one catchy song! Thanks (i was in the energetic/rock mood today). I think their guitar (?) player's cute (well all i see is hair but he looks like the cute type). I love the rap! The style reminds me a bit of UVERworld

lol yeah i noticed massu's hand movements. I love his live singing. Massu's pretty consistent

Hi, I was wondering where I can dl their albums/singles?
Thanks~

^Uhh. I'm not sure if it's allowed to share links for downloading, so idk, PM me or something and we'll talk srs bsns.

Anyways. Haha, idk, Pi's just super popular. XD;;

Anyone watch the Taiyou no Namida perf? It was...yeah. Ryo was not wet enough. DDD:

i saw it... seriosly it's really creepy that ryo was like the only one dry!!

yamapi and his battle with his scarf was hilarious! when he kept bending down, i seriously thought that he was so into the song UNTIL someone at LJ pointed out that his scarf was tangled around his leg and the poor guy was really bending down to untangle his scarf. haha i found it so adorable though.

i knew from the moment the pv came out that scarf was gonna be trouble =-='

anyway, the hi!hey!say! perf was really good i thought. Well. most because i was watching Shige and he radiated sex. SMUG LITTLE ASG;LASKNGA;SLDKJF.

Just great. now he knows he's hot. I might as well die now because if the rest of the promo's are like this.....had dirty thoughts all over the place. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA




honestly, he's trying to kill me. i know it. you think you're oh so cool with that relaxed look and a hand in your pocket huh?!?!?!?

....well i think so too.


~~i liked all their outfits ...at first i thought massu was wearing a fluffy scarf until i noticed it was a bandana type thing.
~~koyama is so spazzy LOL at like 1:32 or so i love that he's really into the song, but he has lil jerks and spazzes all over the place XD just like shige said...koyama's all over the place XD
~~massu's wearing a watch that really doesn't match his outfit LOL
~~also in the pic above from the hhs perf, the lil leaning back of massu and hsj(um i fail because i don't know who he is please help D: ) member at the end is cute <3
~~ shige's hair actually looks okay. Like obviously in the first place it wasn't as bad as blonde!ryo or blonde!tegoshi But there was something about the lighting or something that made it look OKAY. So all in all a good perf XD




there's also koyama/massu cuteness from ms that i will take screenshots of later. it's adorable.

Dude, their new scans in Popolo are so, grahh, hot. First time I've felt physically attracted to Tego in a while. XD;; His darker hair = mucho hot.

And Ryo was being all sneaky in that MS perf, avoiding the water and such so that he'd be dry at the end. Sneaky little jerk, I love him.

yoroshiku...

erm...i quite nervous actually bcoz i'm new about doing dis thing...but i can't stop myself not to respond about news...i luv NEWS also..n i read a lot about them in here beside a few more site..so it is okey to all of u if i join dis forum...i luv their new pv n also their performance at music station...even d wrist band that they wore also nice...

kkandy4mee Finally! Another Shige fan!! I don't see many of them; poor baby. Here - Tohru will kiss it all better for you [ mwah mwah ] [ giggles ]

Can anyone scan the magazine spreads up? It's unfortunate that I can't buy them... but if you can scan and upload them, I will be forever in your debt!!

OH! count me in! i'm a shige fan! all the members are awesome but Shige definitely "radiates sexiness" ~<3

i thought Yamapi was bending down and looking down in their MSta performance cuz all the rain was pouring on him but thanks for clarifying now. yeah. he should cut those scarves in half... cuz too long.

did anyone notice how Shige brushed his hand through his hair in the Msta performance? omg it was so sexy!

has anyone read the lyrics to Teshi's song that Ryo EXPOSED on HeyX3?? omg! i really was laughing my butt off!! lol, my view of Teshi competetly changed lol. He always seemed the innocent, little brother type but haha not anymore...

Aestas Yes - Shide radiates sexiness. Favourite Shige moment[s]?

1. When he does the lip swiping thing with his thumb when they perform I ZA NAI ZU KI

2. When he smiles genuinely - not his drama smile [ which is still cute and all, but not quite ]

fariza Nope; post them up? ^^

i havnt seen hey!x3 yet!!!
and i cant even find it on youtube?
where did yall watch it?

^ you can watch it on veoh, a user, elleMC, has uploaded it with subs.

Oh dang, what did the lyrics say?? Tego looked so embarrassed, it was freakin cute. God, that kid really looks better with dark hair.

Huh, I still need to dl the performance of TnN on Heyx3...only downloaded the talk for embarrassed!Tego...

@Tohru: You can find the scans on lj, uh, here: http://community.livejournal.com/news_jpop/2054925.html

for some reason, i have two different sets of scans of Popolo. like, wthhh.

i hate that boy. LOL. WAY TO MELT ME INTO A PILE OF GOO AND DIRTY THOUGHTS EVERYWHER; ALSKDNGA;OSIDHGA;SLKGJAS;GLKJ

*censors rest of thoughts*

he totally knew pft. stupid boy. [lol i've been calling him that a lot lately among my friends] he waited until the camera was coming around to him. and then. he decides to explode my braincells and other things besides.

Shige's become a freaking tease.

I always loved Shige first...haha it wasn't even a question. But Shige's pretty popular nowadays. At one of their concerts for the Winter Tour, his uchiwa sold out first <3

My favorite Shige moment....at the moment lol is his "Minna DAAAAAISUKI~~~~!!!" that Kei-chan told the world about on Heyx3 hahahahahaha Oh Shige, I love you too XD

I think also even though Shige is the "old man" in the group, and Tegoshi is definitely the youngest, Tegoshi probably has a dirtier mind than Shige XD All in all, I'm not surprised. Tegoshi always seemed a little too innocent to me HAHA.

His embarassed faces on HEYx3 were absolutely adorable tho. It's okay Tegoshi, I don't care if you wrote ero songs...I'll listen to them

Btw, it wasn't during their talk, but on the show when the hosts were interviewing other guests, Ryo talked about how at hotels he'll keep pushing the button on the remote to keep watching free porn as long as possible.

.....LOLOLOLOL cannot tell you how hard I laughed at that. Oh Ryo, I love that you're so pervy and so open about it XD

So Tego was embarrassed because he wrote a perverted song? OMFG, MARRY ME, TEGO. JUST. GAAAAHHHH.

I am loving this guy more and more these days. XD;;

OMG THAT WAS SO FREAKING HOT.
When he did that I squealed! XDD Good thing no one was home because I was pretty loud.
Then I went back and watched it again! LOLL

haha I forget which show this was... I just watched it on youtube today (sorry can't remember for the life of me) but they were talking about... wanting a car or something? LOL didn't understand but I remember everyone pointed at Shige, and then they were like: The correct answer is.... TEGOSHI!
....
Tegoshi: ORE?!

XD It was so funny because he was really slow in responding. LMAO.
Oh tego<3

OOHGAWD, just watched the Heyx3 talk. Srsly, Tego, prz to write me a stupid ero song as well, hey? He is freaking adorable. :3

Eh? Really? I thought Koyama was the oldest? [ blink ]
Yes, yes. Actually, everyone - including baby Tesshi!! >O<;; - from NewS - maybe not Massu that much - are becoming teasers. OH, HOW THEY MAKE ME SUFFER SO BECAUSE I CAN'T TOUCH THEM!!!

.... totally not in that way.

OMG. How could you think that? Bad, BAD person!!

anyone watch Utaban yet?? yesterday i was just able to watch heyx3 (been so busy with school >.<), that's great taht someone translated it at least i can understand what's going on....

ugh. personally i was a little annoyed with utaban. They always seem to have people come out and interact with NEWS, but it never seems to happen with ARASHI.

I really wouldn't care if all they did during their portion was talk about themselves and random things that happened to them. I don't like that basically they always have to have someone come in and make them do stupid things. =-='

I dunno, I mean even if it wasn't Shige who did that thing at the end, I wouldn't have found it all that funny....

Kinda funny that Yamapi was pissed off tho XD


--
as to their perf, I wasn't that satisfied with it. They had the 22nd MS perf clothes(i.e. their PV clothes) and there wasn't any rain, but they had a nice set. But I dunno, I thought their choreography was more off than usual? Looked more sloppy.... =-='

Maybe I'm just too spoiled with kpop artists' perfect robot choreography.

All in all, I dunno .____.' i was disappointed.

lol, personally i don't care about the choreography. i mean, let's face it, the dance is ridiculous. XD;;

idk, kpop artists may be able to dance but they just don't do anything for me.

ah, okay just watched it. yamapi sounded a little less dead this time around...\o/...?

and yes, tego still sounded good. no bias here.

Hmmm... is it just me, or does it seem like YamaPi is losing his excitable-child-like cuteness? Like, I don't know - he just doesn't seem so utterly.... charming, anymore.

I still love him though. [ sniff ]

Hahaha - yeah... Shige doesn't really go on highs as much as the other members do, ne? that is, apart from the times he's been filmed with Koyama. XD Shigeyama! Shigeyama!! Yay yay yay!! >O<;;

Choreographed to perfection sometimes scares me though...

Film clip of NewS I like the best so far? Definetly weeeek. THAT. WAS. DAYMN. CUTE. >O<;;

Yamapi is crazy overworked these days, that's why. And as a result, he sounds dead. DDD:

IDK, I don't expect Johnnys to be good dancers anyway. I'm not exactly into them for their talent, that's for sure. xD;;

lol i agree. JE dancing... I don't think I can get used to it. I showed a clip of NEWS dancing/performing to my sis.. she burst out laughing because of the cheesiness of some of their moves (or could be their costumes. thank goodness they don't have weird costumes in this one)

Tegoshi.. yeah he's awesome singing. I can hear his voice most distinctively in the performance. Yamapi's voice on the other hand, he sounds so different than in studio recording. He sounds quite weak live!

hey there! I'm planning to send a fanmail to NewS but I heard that JE is pretty strict when it comes to fanmail. I heard you can't send artists gifts so I decided to send a letter instead. Do you guys know any rules of what to do and what not to do when sending a fan mail to JE?

Day 3: 12,632 (weeeek: 15,212)

Yeah, but maybe the fact that he is really overworked and tired could be causing him to perform weaker, you know? I mean, doesn't he still have school, and the movie and everything? T_T<3

that's definitely part of it. i think it's ridiculous for them to have him do so much right freaking before his graduation. He might not even be able to graduate because of all the class he's been missing and i'm sure his grades are suffering because of this.

that aside, yamapi does kinda sing weaker live. hahahahahaha. He's said so himself he doesn't like singing his songs at karaoke because he sounds totally different from the recording XD


in other news XD Shige went to AUSTRALIA in the past WEEK cuz he had time off,. and Yamapi was wearing red boxers during the MS perf XD

Hearing that Shige came to Australia makes me sad.

SAAAAAAAAAAAAADDDDDDDDD THAT MY PAPA SHIGE CAME AND DIDNT TELL MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I'm kinda obviously a NewS fan fo sho~

I was wondering if anyone shared these pics??
They're mad hot!
