OMGSH i luff yamapi

Sorry if I sound stupid but is the total copies sold considered a lot?

Ah thank you! lol Tegoshi was laughing so innocently at the side he reminds me of the Kim Jeong Hoon from Goong
hehe that last line was hilarious!

YES! some ppl that top #1 chart weekly can sell as low as like 50K and still be it, basically anything over 100k is excellent in the first week. Usually the big names sell that much...even 2nd tier selling artists are around 50-60K and 3rd tier artists like 30-40K imo

to elaborate more on this, based on last year, with more than 100K, you're pretty much on the top 100 list of the YEAR

so basically with the 4 days sales only alone, NEWS can be on the TOP 5 already for the current year 2008

^ WOW! That is really impressive

^^^and yeah ur quesiton wasn't stupid nor do you xD

Hope the next day sales is just as good!! my singles are shipped, can't wait till it arrive at my doorstep xP

xDD.

Whats happening with NewS lately? Promoting Taiyou no Namida?

love news and yamashita tomohisa more but don't heard about them since long except about yamashita tomhisa (AnAn picture and Kurosagi movie soon).
Does anyone know something?

they were on Shounen Club yesterday. And Shige stripped.

i hate that boy. hahahahahaha. NOT PLAYING FAIR. A;LSKDGNAS;DGIAHSD;GLKASDG;ASDG SO EFFING HOT. *censors rest of thoughts* XD

i hope TnN gets more sales than LIPS in the final count...haha >_>
I figure once the Kurosagi movie comes out, the sales might make a spike

Once there was more advertising for the movie with the song, more guys in their 20s liked the song XD

They'll be on Shounen Club again next week

Also, RUSS-K spring line commercials are out..it looks like a nice commercial ^^

Tegomasu is coming out with a new single sometime in may or so.

And that's all I think there is lately?

^^ yeah i hope taht when the kurosagi movie airs next week, that the sales might be boosted?! lol
oh yeah the RUSS K cm are really nice!! i saw pictures/caps of them.

lol i also saw caps of shige stripping at SC...need to dl the clip! lol

YAY IT WENT UP! XD

I don't really follow news very much but I was just researching for clips about them and I notice that they don't attend award shows, not just news but johnny's. Am I right or am I wrong? Can someone tell me if they attend award shows like MTV VMAJ or what not. I also went to wikipedia and they don't get awards like Best Group or whatever.

yea it's part of their company policies. They aren't allowed to recieve awards or be nominated for music award things. I forget the reason why....

and NICE the sales went up! haha.

YAY!!

Just placed my order for my School Calender Diary 2008 - 2009 Japan edition of NEWS

KYAAAAAH

And that is all

XD

I'll reply more later - shouldn't be on soompi atm.

^ cool. arashi's step and go is number two. thanks for the list. i love that song.

HEY it's weird&short. Sup-up homie G.
Really, hes so flustered its cute. But i can't beilieve such lyrics came from little Yuya~

feel free to post elsewhere xD

Actually daily charts dont get the complete sales the weekly charts has more the overall sales of the single/album

so the weekly charts will have more sales than all daily charts put together ^^;;

NOTHING IS IN HERE
NOTHING IS IN HERE

NOTHING IS IN HERE

AKIRADOWN Yes, the poster - but the prospect of being able to see my NewS boys every single day of the year in a complete book was also a bit too much for me to resist; becuase I'm weak in that area like that. By the way - the download links? Thanks tonnes, but I don't think you're allowed to acutally post up links... maybe pm them to people who want them specifically? Just don't want you to get into trouble for something you did with good faith. ><;;

kkandy4mee So, you mean, NONE of the Johnny's boys can get awards? Aaaaaye.... >___>;;

^^ what u mean we can post links ?! just wondering
well there are exceptions, i read that TOKIO recently won an award recently.

it's in the forum rules:

2. Filesharing on this forum is not allowed. You may only post songs when you need to find the title/artist. YouTube and other similar sites are OK.

i would probably go back and edit all ur posts to get rid of the links, or else you'll probably get warned majorly
---


personally i'm okay with that fact that they don't win awards; otherwise a lot of music awards would probably be won by JE ppl just because JE has a monopoly over boybands; Johnny knows this, that's why he set the rule in place in the first place. The numbers for JE cd sales is on a whole nother level compared to non-JE groups.

I'm not a big fan of TOKIO so I don't know the specifics, but in the past, there have been other Johnny's who won awards and such, even Kimura Takuya getting Actor of the Year or something, but it is company policy that they cannot accept the award, no matter how big of a deal it is. Even when there were talks of Nino from Arashi getting an Oscar nod and perhaps winning, he would've had to decline it.

The only things Johnny's can win are popularity polls and such.

And yeah, you should take down the dl links b/c it's not allowed.

^ that's sad T_T I'd love to see them perform on VMAJ, give acceptance speech and what not. It's nice to know that you're being recognize by your music and not just your looks.

my new background XD it's like the perfect dimensions.

The RUSS-K CM's are out on their website....once again. Shige fails so badly LOL no bento for yoooou~

off topic..~ ehh really? JE boys cannot receive awards? But how come Matsujun has this pic where he has a Best Supporting Actor award in his hands for Hanadan before?

anyways, I love the Russ CMs...so they shot it in Hawaii..I actually love NewS calendar this year..it's so unique...

kkandy4mee Oh. WOW. Much?? [faints] They are so DAYUM hot. Yeash. Totally. Note: YamaPi would look hotter without the surfboard... or even half naked. Mmm. Yeash. That too. XD

AKIRADOWN The links!! ><;; PM to me instead? I woud like them. [nod nod]

nghister Ah; yes - those popularity polls. They make me laugh. "Most Favourite Boyfriend Of The Year"? .... whaaaat?

XD

My NEWS trash will be arriving on my doorstep in 16 days... and counting backwards. ><;; Hate living in Australia; we have NOTHING here....

Thanks guys for letting me know~

He won the award from a poll. Yamapi and many other Johnny's won that too. ^ ^

I was watching NewS's first appearance on Heyx3 the other day and I saw something weird. Shige said he was 17 in his intro and Tegoshi said he was 15 in his. But aren't they the same age? (This has been bothering me... XD)

^^ most likely shige said his age wrong hahah! i remember there was one clip that one of hte member stutter(sp?) to say his age LOL but i forgot who.

Hmmm?

But I thought Tego-san was the youngest; I mean, he was still only in high school when they first started, and Shige is older than him - not sure by how much thuogh -

Masuda is one year older than Tegoshi, that's for sure. And Koyama is the oldest, I remember.

AKIRADOWN No problem. ^^

Agewise, Koyama's the oldest but Yamapi has been the longest in JE so he's a senpai to everybody else. I just looked this up but woah I never knew Masu was older than Shige. How weird. I always thought he was like the youngest

Koyama(23) May 1, 1984
Ryo(23) November 3, 1984
Yamapi(22) April 9, 1985
Masu(21) July 4, 1986
Shige(20) July 11, 1987
Tegoshi(20) November 11, 1987

Thanks for clearing this up I was pretty certain that Shige and Tegoshi were pretty close in age. So when he said he was 17, that threw me off XD

FINALLY, finished watchign the complete episode of Hey (x3) feat. NewS. Why did it take so long?
I was ROFLing so hard lol. Even though its the second time I watched Yuya and his naughty lyrics, it made me smile. Ah! Hes still too cute to be writing those! xD

Taiyou no namida is growing on me. Though I didn't think it was a song that would be suited for a boyband like artist, it's really a great song T___T
Tai-you!-no!----naaamindaaa~ (can't wiat to watch Kurosagi movie)

FIRST TIME POSTING IN THIS THREAD!

OMGOSH I'M IN LOVEEEEE WITH Taiyou no Namida!!
i was practically DROOLING when i saw the PV for it! lol
i loved the ending with Yamapi as well~

well when they first started, if you counted kusano, he would have been the youngest and before even that it's was the 9th member that was teh youngest one.

Like, WOAH much? I mean - Tegoshi san looks so much more younger than Shigeaki... like, SERIOUSLY. Not just the height, but Shige also has a deepr voice, a more mature attitude and a hotter body -- Tego fans will KILL me if I say that. XD

Yeah... Kusano was the same age as Shige and Tegoshi, ne?

KUROSAGI MOVIE -- When will I watch it?? TT__________TT

I think I've became a NewS fangirl today. I've always been a fan of Yamapi and Ryo, but never bothered to listen to their music because I thought they were just some overrated boyband. But I'm totally in love with Taiyou no Namida. <3

taht why ppl always make of Shige, say that he has aged and that he looks like a 32 year old and even when he film a drama, the cast didn't believe that he was only 19 yrs old at that time...

Me tooh, i want to watch, any one have any figures for how hte movies is doing at the box office?

I really like NEWS' new song. Taiyou no Namida. I miss them so much. Well Yamapi to be exact!

Shige's gonna be in a new drama called Hokaben based on the manga of the same title. He's gonna star beside Aya Ueto, but I don't think he's the male lead.

QUOTE

NEWS member Shigeaki Kato has joined the cast of NTV's drama series "Hokaben," set to premiere on April 16. Adapted from a manga by Hiroyuki Nakajima, the show stars Aya Ueto as a novice lawyer.

Kato will play Riichiro Katase, an elite attorney who comes from a family of lawyers. Full of pride, ambition, and intelligence, he happens to work at the same law office as the idealistic rookie Akari (Ueto), whom he has been attracted to for a while.

Ueto and Kato previously appeared together in the sixth season of "3 Nen B Gumi Kinpachi Sensei," which ran from 2001 to 2002.

The cast of "Hokaben" also includes Kazuki Kitamura (as Akari's boss), Ryo, Naho Toda, and Megumi Nakayama.

i kinda....i dunno. i'm happy, sure, but I hope shige's awkward!prideful <3 i want him to be like 'bwahahahahaha, i am awesome. admire my awesomeness' and then trip down the stairs or something LOL.

i mean sure i spazz over all the hotness of shige lately, but i want him to go back to silly awkward shige better, back in the KKKitty days... either the company is, or Shige is doing this himself, but he's been marketed as more "stylish" "cool" and "hot" lately, and I'm not entirely sure I like it, but if Shige gets more fans this way, then I guess I'm okay with it.

but if he likes the girl, then i'm sure there'll be some cute!awkwardness like in papa to musume

You can find out at watchful's lj

I heard it earned over 2.8 million dollars so far. Doraemon is the #1 movie but I think it's because it's showed on 400 theaters and Kurosagi is only on 315 theaters.

ilubgoong: thanks for the link, actually i have that friend as my lj friend too, i think i just happen to missed her post xDm but thanks for letting me know

nelly: yeah i guess that makes sense for doraemon to be #1, more screens and i know alot of ppl liek doraemon, im not one of them though xP


by the way, is that 2.8 million figure okay??

what weekly total is considered okay?
what total gross is considered okay film? like not a flop u know..

im not too sure about japan box office and sales so yeah xD

I want to watch Kurosagi sooo bad~
Rawr~

IS 2.8 million good at the box office?
Or is that 2.8 million... yen??? XDDDD bwha that'd be horrible.

i really wanna watch kurosagi movie!!!!
the drama was very good, yamapi is such a good actor

actually i was hoping more taiyou no namida performances but i think yamapi will be very busy
i wonder what the others are doing.... i want the others especially tegomass star in drama!! or release new single?

that's dollars ya'll. That figure came out when the movie released. It hasn't been a week yet since Kurosagi came out and Kurosagi is closely behind Doraemon in most theaters. I think this movie will do fine when the numbers are all added up.

Did anyone watched the beautiful eyes performance on Shounen club? Tegoshi and ryo were smiling and giggling for some strange reason

I can't tell if it's live but .. if it is.. wow those two sounded good I think now they're my fav. members....

I'm not so much a NewS fan as I am a Yamapi / Ryo fan. XD
Mostly because they starred in dramas though,
otherwise I might never have heard of NewS. >3<

'Senorita' by Yamapi is pretty good though~

aha, that's because Ryo almost fell backwards while he was singing and Tegoshi started giggling at him and Ryo couldn't hold his giggle. At one time, he even turned his back on the audience to hide his laughter. What I was kinda confused was in the end of the song. I mean like after they finished the song Yamapi and Ryo switched places. I was like O_O? Was there another performance afterwards or something cause that was kinda weird.
