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 >__<

[superfreakk]

^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. ):

[jesseski]

^ 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

[superfreakk]

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

[modelwal_k]

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.

[jesseski]

^ 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 .__.

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. :/

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 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.

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

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.

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

And Massu is so cute. :3

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*

[superfreakk]

Dude, your bias is blinding me XD

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.

[nelly]

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.

[80slitenite]

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.

[superfreakk]

^What? *lost*

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

;______; i feel so emo right now.

*wails*

*bangs head against wall endlessly*

*dead*

[jesseski]

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

Dude, Takki is *_____*.

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

He really 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.

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

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.

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* ^__^

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.

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 -__-;
