I like Yamapi and Tegoshi.
But everyone else is a close second.
I love NewS.

[DarkAngelInLove]

i've recently discovered them

they're good
and pretty cute
for some reason they remind me of super junior in the Week PV

[superfreakk]

Yeah, they're really awesome and some are pretty talented for a JE band, haha. How did they remind you of Super Junior? The only reason I can think of is their sheer numbers. Although they used to be a bigger band until they lost Uchi and Kusano.
):

[onewhite lie]

I havn't been updated with their stuff recently. I mainly only keep an eye on Yamapi<3333
Anything new? =)
How do they remind you of SUJU? o__o

[little_sushi]

I love them. Their second album vocals have improved alot. Am proud of them
Their songs are great too

Yeah....riiighhhtttttt

News owns Suju
they are nothing alike
they don't look, act, or soundalike

[superfreakk]

Well, I think NewS owns SuJu too, but only because I'm biased and very new to Super Junior so no SuJu fans go crazy over what we say alright?
As for news, the last thing I've heard of is that they performed weeeek on...lots of shows, appeared on SC Christmas Special and they made a pretty good comeback this year with their 'weeeek' single and Pacific album. Yay for NewS.
*cheers*

[jesseski]

^ I do wish they'd perform something other than weeeek on all their tv appearances but I guess that can wait 'til the new year.
Kurosagi movie comes out soon XD And isn't Koyama supposed to be in some new drama soon too? (Isn't that why he died his hair? o.o)

Exactly. I can't see how NEWS can remind anyone of SuJu o__o NEWS is about 12341234 times better anyway XD

[superfreakk]

I'm really not used to Koyama's black hair. Every time I see him, I think it's someone else. I am getting sick of all their 'weeeek' performances anyway. I mean, the ones I've seen all suck, lol. It's a little frustrating because I know that Tegoshi and Massu can sing live but when they're around NewS it's like they get collective bad-live-performance disease as a group or something. I'd like to see an 'Ai no Matador' performance. The lyrics are so horribly filthy that I want to see if they can perform this with a straight face; I know I couldn't.
XDXD

[Hιtσмι]

I love Yamapi from Nobuta wo produce
I love Ryo from One Litres of Tears
I love TegoMasu both have really good talent in singing!!

I'm a pretty big fan of both of them, and i think it's pretty stupid to compare the two of them. They're both marketed differently, they're in different companies and different countries for goodness sakes.

Song-wise I think Super Junior gets better songs(but I think NEWS gets the crappiest songs in all of JE...I mean i grow to love all their songs, but overall, they get less good songs[like the impression i get when i first hear it] ) and has better choreography, but I think Super Junior has better choreography than pretty much all of the JE groups(not talking about on an individual basis or who dances better) because that's just how they're marketed.

In a lot of other things, such as close-ness, I think Super Junior is closer, but suju also lives together(split into 3 dorms in the company building) whereas NEWS lives with their families. Again, it's not NEWS's fault; it's just the way things are set up.

They both have their cute moments, they both do fanservice.
They both have a lot of screaming fangirls.
They both are under entertainment companies that like to squeeze the money outta our pockets.

I don't love either one more or less. I could say I love them the same, but it's really depending on what aspect of each group you're talking about, and which group I decided to pay more attention to this week(or something). At the moment I'm all about NEWS, but next month I could be all over Suju again.

And let's not go HOMG HOW COULD U SAY THAT....because the person just said they were reminded of Suju from the Weeeek PV. I can see a little of where they're coming from...just the energy and crackiness (like maybe suju's happiness pv and rokkugo mixed into one XD )
-----

And this is just me as a greedy greedy fan, but NEWS needs more singles. On the one hand, I'm always worrying about their health, and hoping that the concerts don't wear them out too much, but this is what they signed up for, and they love doing it, so I try to think of that.
But back on the thing about singles. NEWS has been around for a while. Not counting the whole hiatus time period, they've been around for three years. (I'm counting their official debut as the day they released Kibou May 2004 until May 2006, when it was official that they were on hiatus. And then counting all of 2007 ) And they have....eight singles and two albums.
KAT-TUN(i have no hate for the group, just using them as comparison, since they're the same age-ish) on the other hand, will have been around for two years-ish(counting debut as March 2006, when first single was released) when their latest single, LIPS, releases. And that would be their sixth single.

I dunno. NEWS also is the only group that doesn't have their own TV Show. I think a lot more people would be exposed to them if they had their own tv show. A lot of the time, I feel like NEWS is a little...ignored by the company. But that's just me. (I also feel T&T are rather ignored too, but that's just me)

But here's hoping to a GREAT 2008 with more member ai, crack, flashy dead animal costumes(...not really tho.), and hopefully...*crosses fingers* DVDS FOR TAIWAN CON, WINTER CON, AND DOME CON
(yes Johnny, I am asking you to take my money. GIMME THOSE DVDS!!!!!)



and yea sorry. i always tend to write a lot.

[crazypilovee]

YEAHHHH I KNOW!!! they should SO have their own tv show ='[ i think if they do they'd be SO MUCH MORE POPULAR! ryo's always busy w/ k8 & yamapi's always being pulled to do other grps like GYM, shuji to Akira, & as a solo artist. there's tegomass w/ massu and tegoshi, and koyama and shige are starting to do alot of stuff. maybe it's cuz like 4 of them go to university? that's alott of time pulled off for school haha.

ahhh i hope they have a single sooon!!! end of jan/beg. of feb. maybe? kurosagi movie's coming out so i'm guessing yamapi's gonna have a solo single again in march? i hope sooooo hehe. but that's kinda bad for NewS. ahh they need to get a freaking tv show!! so everyone can see how much closer the grp's gotten =D

go on news_jpop.livejournal.com if you're a big news fan!!!!!! they have updates of like EVERYTHINGGG about news at the community

[jesseski]

@ kkandy4mee;
Wow you wrote a lot XD It is silly to compare them, it really is. Jpop and Kpop are two different things with their own sound. I like SuJu too so I'm not putting them down at all, I just.. like JE better. Even though I realise SM people dance/sing/etccc better generally, but the sparkly caught me (and maybe because I don't understand Korean at all either, so it's frustrating). I liked SM before JE anyway O__O So rather than being one of those people who converted to SM, I went the other way :3 But I still like SM, just.. not as regularly? On occassion it's good :3

And about tv shows, OSIDHGSDGOIH why don't NEWS have one anyway. It annoys me so much. I personally think KAT-TUN have way too much in comparison (isuefg I'm not putting them down either, I like them too >:|). I mean, KAT-TUN have been KAT-TUN longer, but NEWS debuted first. I'm a NEWS-first person, yet I have more KAT-TUN dvds, and that's stupid. NEWS needs way more stuff for the time they've been around. I hope they bring out a new single soon (heh compete with KAT-TUN >:])

*Is a stalker of the comm* Heheheh. I do quite like lj :3

[superfreakk]

Hah, I'm more like a JE fan who refuses to defect to SM. But I do like SuJu, I mean, look at my sig, and I think they're amusing. I'm just not really used to Korean and it takes me a while to like their songs. Same thing with NewS but only because they get all the crappy songs and they are way too neglected by JE. Arrgghhh.

In a lot of other things, such as close-ness, I think Super Junior is closer, but suju also lives together(split into 3 dorms in the company building) whereas NEWS lives with their families.

Yeah, having to live with the same people does call for some kind of friendship but I think that NewS gets along fine. I mean, if you look at their blogs it seems that Koyama and Shige and Tegoshi have gotten really close since they always seem to talk about how they go hang out a lot. JE is like one big family because they've all pretty much grown up together.

[saranghexjaejoong]

they different from suju! i like suju and news as well !

[BishieAddict]

There has been quite a few comparisions between JE and SM (among dbsk fans) since THSK tried to break into the Japanese market.
I'm not a fan of SUJU but I think SUJU modeled after JE....a big group of pretty boys that are idols right? While they all sing, they do other things like act and what not...I think SM wanted to make SUJU temporary (i think they were a group like the "johnny jr" but are older) however their fans got a little too attached to the group
though the music style's different, they have similar concepts...

[jesseski]

^ *cough cough* This IS a NEWS thread. I think we're getting a little off-topic o_____O

Who cares in the end anyway. SuJu is SuJu, NEWS is NEWS.
One group is Korean, one group is Japanese.
Therefore they are different, and don't need to be compared, because it appears people are starting to get offended o__o

[Mandu]

Ohhh wow, I used to be obsessed with NEWS around 2 years back. I think it was TEPPEN that got me hooked xD Ahh..memories...
I wonder how they've been doing now

[superfreakk]

^They're a lot more popular now as a six-person group. I like their new singles and their latest PV. They've made a pretty good comeback in my opinion, and no, my obsession hasn't faded because I like Tegoshi and Yamapi too much. :3

Also, lmao, NewS wore CAPES on JE Countdown. Oh, JE Countdown, I love you.

[jesseski]

^ butthey'rebetteraseightD:< I still love them but, heh. You and your Yamapi and Tego liking *sigh* Surely you've seen that picture of Tego with his hand uhh down his pants O_o


NEWS were so colorful *___* All their shiny suits of mulitcoloredness. Oh god I love JE XD
