I didn't like Pi's Code Blue hair at first because I was just so shocked but after a while, I got used to it. Now hes still as hot as ever. x]

I watched the CM a few days back. I thought it was funny how they named the product Happy Bath Day because it just makes me think that NEWS is singing 'Happy Bath Day' instead of birthday. D:

[Shiget^]

Im watching Code blue too and i love it, i love all episodes it just gets better and better, maybe i like it because im also in the medical field too ^ _ ^
yeah shige dyed his hair blonde now because of his butai, but i think its darker now from the pictures for the single covers ^^;;

a new album is to be out soon as well.

haha i dunno if it's just me, but somehow i'm not too excited about this? I've been partially disappointed with half the singles this year, and I did not order Happy Birthday because I really don't like it. And I dunno? Haha I wasn't surprised by these events because it seems like that's the 'way things go': single, single, single, album, con tour at the end of the year.

[harukers]

^ well I guess that's how they have to do things, since they can't like suddenly have concerts in the summer~ (Well I think K8 usually has concerts in the summer, and so they have like, share Ryo, you know? XD) so I think that's why their schedule is always the same~

But anyways!
I'm excited :D for the album, concert tour, and everything.
the Happy Birthday covers are hideous, but I ordered the single anyways. XD;
I hope that with the new concert tour, it means that there's going to be another DVD~ 8D/

Oh! I love Happy Birthday! i don't want to spoil myself much because I pre-ordered the single! I'm really looking forward to it!

Please explain to me about their name NEWS or NewS. I've read somewhere that before, it was spelled NewS but now, it's already NEWS. why is that?

REQUEST: Can someone provide me a banner of NEWS? Arigato Gozaimasu! <3
haha. i'm gonna change my siggy

[luvsEeteuk]

OMG ~ thanks Shiget^ for the links !! gotta watch it tommorrow !
Hehe..the last cap ! the cuppy .. hehe.. Pi always do that ... so cute !
i love the cup ! 8D

Really ? I thought it's always NewS and sometimes people just spelled as NEWS . <- i'm the one !!
I think i was too lazy to spelled it as 'NewS' , but i thought it's doesnt matter ??

I'm so confused !!

NEWS - HAPPY BIRTHDAY PV
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNI72jFsJN8

download here:
http://community.livejournal.com/news_jpop...742.html#cutid1

it was spelled as NewS before when they debut because NewS represents the NORTH, EAST, WEST, SOUTH so just how it is the arrangement to state N and S are North and South. but now they use NEWS.

[lisaaa]

the new PV is soo cute! love the song

[Shiget^]

its lame but cute
i love all the paper things they have there, its like playing paper doll house watever LOL

[harukers]

the PV is really cute, even if it IS low budget. XD then again, that's not really surprising, huh. XD; I don't think Johnny spends much money on them. XD The covers for the single look pretty bad too, and it seems like they're getting worse with each single. XD

But anyways!
the dance is cute :3 I found the part with the chicken going into the oven kinda sad though. XDD

[hanilemon]

^ Lmfao I felt bad for the chicken too xD

Aw I love the new pv/song. The dance with the bow and hearts and all is soo cute. hehe Tegoshi does the ima wa~ thing at the end! Oh and gotta love yamapi's cups too.

Sigh I really wish I could go to one of their concerts. Too bad i'm on the other side of the earth ):

[coicogoro]

Happy Birthday is cute, but I noticed that after weeeek, most of their singles just went downhill. I hope they do another single with the charm of Cherish or Hoshi wo Mezamini coopere. the PV - low budget too. How come they rarely do location filmings unlike other JE bands, most of their PVs are merely set in a bunch of studios. It'd be nice if they have another PV as cool as Teppen.

I'm starting to miss Kusano though. It is only now that I appreciated his voice. It's so manly, and less nasal than the other members so it kind balances everything out. Not to mention he was such a mean dancer.

I hope they get to bond more and get a TV show for themselves. I know how people say that NEWS is sooo boring, but I would like to think that it is due to the fact that while they had overcome the animosity they used to go have for each other, they're still not as close as we'd like to think. Which is probably why Kei-chan said that they still have a hard time in starting conversations with each other because it gets all awkward. If they do get their own tv show, then they would get all the practice they could get. And from the history of other JE bands, it seems that most of them just sealed their tight bond hafter hosting their own shows and spending a lot of time with each other.

[Shiget^]

we dont really know. first of all NEWS isnt like all the Johnnys groups, their a unit that came from different units. and I think with their personality their not the type like to force themselves with each other especially Yamapi. but I have to say they improve their relations with each other, you can see that with the DVDs.

I think NEWS can handle their own TV show if Johnnys gives them a chance, i wouldnt say boring because if they were boring then their MCs wouldnt be entertaining, ive been a fan since 2005 and have seen and read all their MCs and i dont think any of them were dull. KoyaShige would be great hosts, i think August Shokura was hosted very well, it was one of the best SHOKURA episodes.

if NEWS is boring what do you call KATTUN's show but thats your opinion, for me i dont like forced and trying hard humour.

btw, its NEWS anniversary today, HAPPY 5TH ANNIVERSARY NEWS ^__________^

If you try to delve into my post, I wasn't bashing NEWS. I was just stating what fans
were saying at the LJ cons and I do think I've subtly expressed my disagreement with them.

About the bonding, I was pointing out to the kind of bonding where they'd actually be a little more fun.
The senpai-kohai relationship gets a little to stiff at times considering the they've been a band longer than
say, DBSK.

The senpai-kohai relationship gets a little to stiff at times considering the they've been a band longer than say, DBSK. I remember K-Chan and Tegoshi stating in their SCPs that they used to pretend they were talking when the cameras are rolling. And I'm quite surprised that Tegomass rarely hang out - I've always had the impression they were the closest. Anyway, they have forever to be a band and to hang out with each other. It just makes up a nice story, bunch of people who many thought were oddly mixed sorted out their differences emerging as a good team. I do see their progress now, though. I just sense the awkwardness whenever they guest on talkshows...I remember during ST promo on Hey Music Champ, there was utter silence when Yamapi was asked whether he invited the members for his birthday. That was just...awkward. But kudos to him for treating Shige out on his birthday. Like Yamapi said, it won't be fast, but he'll eventually learn to imbibe with his members.

KATTUN...probably the JE group with the least bonding. XD But they're a bunch of psychos so they make a good show.

I think NEWS are a lot closer now. Yamapi recently blogged about going to eat with Koyama and how Shige's face makes him smile, Shige said that he went to eat with Yamapi and Ryo, Yamapi took Shige out on his birthday until 7am, Tegoshi went with Koyashige to Hawaii for a holiday, while Massu went with them to Nagano, Tegoshi always says that he "loves" his "kei-chan" and clings to him etc etc. They may not be BFF (apart from Koyashige and Ryopi lol) but they all seem to get on well enough
I think there's still a senpai-kouhai relationship between Tegoshi and Massu with Yamapi and Ryo BUT it's getting better I think.
It's not the same with DBSK, and I don't think it's fair to compare them. DBSK members entered and trained roughly around the same time (and even lived together for years), while Yamapi and Ryo have been in JE and have been popular for about 8 years BEFORE the other NEWS members so there's more of a gap.

I agree. I'm quite sure I mentioned about Pi treating Shige on his birthday in my earlier post. But the others, like Shige eating with Ryopi is all new to me. Member Ai ftw. K-chan must be happy.

But I wonder why Massu has a harder time thatn Shige when he's older than Shige?

[Shiget^]

yeah, i know but i just hate when people say that theyre boring esp people in LJ, because to me theyre not, and most people say that who likes multiple groups on JE.

and DBSK lived together so theyre like forced like to be together because theyre under the same roof.

i dunno Massu rarely hangs out with NEWS, i know he always goes out with Nakamaru for shopping ;__;
