NO!!!! i don't want kusano leaving (for a while) also. always missing one NEWS guy. why!!! i really don't care what he did (drinking or the girl thing) because i don't believe he'd do that to himself plus it doesn't even seem that bad. i hope his fans can bring him out of his hiding. i wonder if he just said he wanted to be out of public eye but it's really the johnny people that told him too.

[jho]

he will make it. he will make it...... =( we just have to all believe in him!! what the heck is with all this "ahh im so disappointed in kussa now", "i dont like him anymore"!?? these are all freakin' RUMORS... nande?? why is this happening?

if people were his fans in the first place they wouldnt be like this.. sorry not to say that any of us here are like that, but it just frustrates me how some ppl are just so ignorant to the truth.. 'cause obviously this is largely a rumor right now.

if you actually think about it.. it makes no sense whatsoever. no news member with any type of common sense would be drinking in public especially after the uchi incident. and the thing about him drinking with a fan? a FAN? a fan who betrayed him? i dunno, it just doesnt make sense to me.

well whatever, we'll just have to see. im just worried about how hes feeling right now. probably exactly like how uchi felt back then ne. its almost his birthday.. he doesnt need this crap.

[boa_fan929]

^well he already 'withdrew voluntarily' fron news so theres not really much else to do...wut i wanna no is how news can perform in concerts/release a single+promo w/only 6ppl (unless they bring bak uchi in)

[oh!kura]

You guys, all that matters is right now, we support Kusa more than anything. A lot of fans have deserted him for this. I trust Kusano and I will believe him when he says that he did not drink. Kusa really needs our support so lets do our best to be there for him.

GANBATTE, KUSANO!
We're all here for you and love you very much! Keep your head up, baby! Don't give up! <3

[strawberrynkiwi]

^^ awww thats so sad... i wish the best for him

[bubblepeach]

Seriously, yeah Johnny has locked Uchi for so long. It's too long actually. It's been 6 months
The Kusano thing, I dunno. The pics are kinda blurry, it's hard to tell. Besides it could be a can of soft drink he's drinking. Well, I just hope that the withdrawal thing isn't too long. I want NEWS to be 8-members again soon >.<

Anyway, I heard YamaPi has a new drama for this spring and he is the main lead ^^ That's good to hear.

[xXSJloveXx]

OMG ALOT of FANS have deserted him for some rumor??? thats no FANS omg i agree....we should SUPPORT him anyway we can...I hope Kusano doesnt get suspended T_T

[luluchan]

i doubt Uchi is coming bk
and i don't think Kusano is gonna come bk either~ like... fans will forget about them~ they aren't THAT popular like Akanishi and Kamenashi~ (that's why even tho Akame was caught doing "inappropriate" stuff like dating and smokin and stuff there wasn't much stuff)

Kusano says he's "voluntarily- retiring" from the spotlight (WTH is THAT anyways~~)i think that kinda means he's been "kicked-out" ~ hmm then maybe he can focus on his studies cuz i heard he got into college no?

Poor NEWS' members ~ not NEWS gonna have bad reputation of having a bunch of underage drinking guys~
and Kattun's gonna be ever so successful i bet when they debut~ and NEWS ... i don't know what's gonna happen with them~ Yamapi and Ryo will have no prob even if NEWS is affected i think~ but ... the others.. dunno ~ esp Shige, Koyama and Massu~ ... i still think Tegoshi has potential to be really popular so hopefully he gets more opportunities!

I don't mean to be rude.. but I don't believe in anything that you're saying.

There are plenty of fans who care about Uchi and who are still awaiting for his arrival. Kusano, as well. Just because Kusano doesn't have the status of Kame and Jin, that doesn't mean that he doesn't have a great amount of fans who support and love him.

Yes, Kusano did get accepted into a college but so did Shige and Tegoshi. You don't see them walking off, do you?

I don't understand why you're already deciding that NEWS is somehow going to break up from all of this. Do you even care about NEWS? I have the greatest hope that Uchi will return and an even bigger hope that Kusano is going to come back, too. Kitagawa-san himself said that Kusano didn't drink and the reason for his suspension is because he wants Kusa to stay low for a while, until they investigate this further.

Kitagawa-san knows that taking away Uchi and Kusano will only hurt NEWS and the fan base. And Kitagawa-san, being the sometimes selfish man he is, knows that doing that will not bring success for NEWS and possibly a bad name for Johnny's Entertainment.

UCHI AND KUSANO ARE GOING TO COME BACK AND THERE IS NO WAY IN HELL THAT NEWS IS GOING TO BREAK UP.

^ Very well said

NEWS is SUCH a great group. Each of them is very talented in different ways. They maybe don't have as much spotlight or media attention as any other groups out there but they do have lots of fans. Just because you're not as popular as others doesn't mean you're not popular at all.

Thumbs up for them that they still consider pursuing education even if they are already pop-stars with lots of fans, fame, money, singing/acting career, etc etc. This just shows that they want to pursue their own career or ambitions aside of just being in a idol-group.

And I doubt Johnny will kick-out Uchi and/or Kusano from JE/NEWS permanently. Think about all the protests & angers this might cause the fans and that will only cause loss for Johnny himself.

And let's not compare NEWS with KAT-TUN, okay? Both of them are great groups with talents. But they're different from each other. NEWS is NEWS, KAT-TUN is KAT-TUN.

Anyway, hi everyone I'm new to this thread. I posted several times in NEWS thread in other music section =)
I started liking NEWS after watching 1 Litre of Tears. Ryo is just so lovable <333
Tegoshi has a really nice voice. Before, I never paid attention to his singing 'coz all I looked were only Ryo, Pi & Uchi. But after awhile, I just realized that Tegoshi has a nice voice. He should sing more often.
And I think that Koyama is pretty good at dancing & MC-ing definitely. I like it when he's MC-ing in SC. It fits him ^^

I have nothing to say now, so yeah

[kleo]

gosh, it's been so long. um..yeah i heard about him being in a drama as well. can't wait to see it. i thought he will be working on two different dramas? correct me if i'm wrong. but yeah i read it somewhere. one about having an adult role and the other is i think another school drama, (not so sure)

[luluchan]

teshi-bear~Nono I don't mean that NEWS is gonna break up~ i like NEWS too! I like all the members!! They are the 1st JE ppl to have SO many university students ~ i was like wao they are revolutionising JE! and i even liked their songs b4 even knowing who they are /what they look like~~

"所属事務所の事実確認に対して、少年は「口まで持っていったが、実際には飲んでいない」と、飲酒の事実を否定しているという。その上で同事務所は、この日の夕方、マスコミに向けたファクスで見解を発表した。

(According to the Jimusho, the young man denied taking alcohol and said "I placed it (beer/alcohol?) near my mouth but didn't drink it." Later that evening the Jimusho made an official statement to the media through fax.) " (credits to Helen's blog)

even if that MAY BE the truth~ saying this to the media is kinda a lame excuse .. I mean.. WHO Is gonna believe he didn't drink really... c'mon.... I found that really funny i dunno why~ but i mean it's normally nothing wrong for a teenager to drink imo~ it's NO BIG DEAL but since he's a celebrity in a popular group~ that's what made it a scandal~~

hmm but I mean.. maybe i'm naturally a pessimistic person~

this world is v. realistic and you can't deny that ppl ARE going to forget about things and people~ and even if you say that there are many fans who want Uchi and Kusano to come bk~ most ppl CAN live w/out them ~ like even fans will become fans of other groups and stuff~

ok, let's say there's anger.. but really HOW MUCH? I'm not saying that NEWS isn't popular ~ well Jin n yamapi didnt break the law with their acts b4~ but then really do you think Uchi and Kusano are more important to JE than Yamapi and Jin? I'm not against Kusano and Uchi~ i'm just saying this world is v. realistic~ u can wish for wutever u want but then the reality might not be that way~~

I hope that they will come bk too~ but Kusano and Uchi DID break the law and they KNOW that in Johnny's this is v. strict ~ (esp after Uchi incident Kusano did that~ it was pretty dumb of him~ he should know better)
Many ppl broke the rule b4 and got kicked out~ i mean this is the world ~~
Idols are not saints ~ but I guess like another other occupation there are rules to the job~ and Kusano n Uchi chose to be idol~ things that seem "normal" for normal ppl might be enlarged to be a big scandal for celebrities.. but .. that's life i guess~ after all which popular celebrity isn't targeted by the media and have their privacy exposed?

but then again~ Kusano and Uchi are still kids~and ppl make mistakes~ i hope that the incidents will be forgotten and they will come bk to make NEWS a better group~

ok ~ maybe i bs-ed too much ~ sorry sorry~~~ but then you're not rude @ all Teshi-bear I didn't get offended~ this is a forum and everyone is entitled to express feelings no?

bubblepeach! Hello! I 'm the same as u! after listening to Tegoshi singin solo i was like WAO~ he is the best singer in NEWS imO! i agree he should sing more often! I like him and Massu's duets too! ^^

here's a clip i like of them...
They sang Kinki kids's Anniversary here~ I love this song! one of my fave of Kinki Kids! Tegoshi sang a bit the last SC solo too~

DOWNLOAD Anniversary HERE !

[hydest]

err...what does SC stand for? i always think it stands for science .__.
gomennasai >< i didn't mean to interrupt you guys >< just..last time i misunderstood for SF so i decided to ask anything i didn't know ><;;

oh..and thanx for the clip luluchan

[oh!kura]

luluchan - I understand where you're coming from and I'm glad you didn't get offended by what I said. I did come off strong and my apologies for that.

However, I understand what you mean about being realistic and everything. But like you said, Kusano and Uchi are normal human beings. They make mistakes and have to pay for them. Uchi has already paid his debt. As for Kusano, he really has nothing to pay for. He said he didnt do it, Kitagawa-san said he didnt do it, he really has nothing to prove. If Kitagawa-san believes in Kusano, than his punishment is not going to go to the extent as Uchi's.

And, yes, Uchi and Kusano did decide to get into the business.. but it's not because they wanna be "idols" or whatever. Like any singer, they love to sing and perform and just wanna share that with the world. They are still normal people and we cannot expect them to be perfect. They do normal things, just as any other normal person. And, yes, they make mistakes.

I don't wanna say that Kitagawa-san isn't selfish.. cause really, he is selfish. I'm willing to admit that he favors Yamapi and AKame because they bring in a lot of success. However, that doesn't make them any more important than any other JE member. They are all important to the management, to the company, and to the fans. Kitagawa-san knows this and I doubt he would take them away just like that. Like what bubblepeach said, it would really hurt JE's reputation and image if they kicked out Kusano and Uchi.

Welcome to the thread! I'm Stef and even though my username is teshi-bear, Kusano is my number one guy. ;D (Okay, but Teshi does come after him... LOL)

Anyways, thanks for the support. It's true what you said; Kusano and Uchi being kicked out would cause a lot of problems for JE. Especially if it be Uchi. He's apart of TWO groups so taking him away would hurt both groups and the fans.

err...what does SC stand for? i always think it stands for science .__.

Pou, you dork. LOL. SC stands for Shounen Club.

[gegurihyol~]

what the deal with NEWS and rumors of them with alcohol and girls?!

i dont even think drinking underage is a big deal anyways
most of those boys probably tried it
it's just bad luck that they got caught.
not that kusano did but in general i mean.

and plus, if kusano and uchi never comes back, all i have is ryo and maybe the other ones but mostly only ryo.

[oh!kura]

Yeah, I think Tegoshi said once that he tried alcohol. He mentioned something about Yamapi, how Yamapi was making fun of him when he made a sour face after tasting the alcohol. So I guess they've tried it before. I mean, what teen hasn't? I admit that I have.. but it wasn't something like beer or whatever.. but hey, that's not what's important. It's just unfortunate that Uchi got caught. As for Kusano, I still believe his word when he said he didn't drink.

TSK. The tabloids are just bored, good-for-nothing f*ckers who wanted to strip away the good image of NEWS. Screw the tabloids and paparazzi.. I hate them for all the trouble that they've caused.

[bubblepeach]

Okay, I have a question. Koyama, Kusano & Shige used to in K.K.Kitty right? (What a weird group name O__o) If I'm not mistaken there were 4 members in it? What happened to the other member? And also same thing with other members of 4Tops since Pi is officially in NEWS now. I've always wondered that.
As for Jimmy Mackey, is he a singer too? I see him so often on SC, MC-ing. Is he mixed? He looks kinda westernish to me...

luluchan, thanks for the clip. It's a very nice song, I like it ^^
So the first half of the song was sung by Massu? And near the end is Tegoshi's part? I love the chorus part near the end where Tegoshi sang the high-note (Is it him or Massu?) Oh gosh, such nice voices indeed. Especially Tegoshi, wow <333
Johnny should give them more solo parts.

Yeah, Koyama, Kusano, and Shige were in KKKity. I dunno what became of the other member.. I don't know much about the old junior groups. As for 4tops.. LOL.. when Yamapi left, I think they called the group 3tops. I really have no idea.. but I do remember reading that somewhere. As for Jimmy.. he is mixed. I think he's half white or whatever. His English rocks! I love how he can speak both English and Japanese so perfectly. Jimmy is so hot, too... that freakin` tree... LOL

I love TegoxMassu duets. In my opinion, they're the two best singers in NEWS (if you count Kusano, they're my top three favorite singers ). Even though I like Anniversary when sung by KinKi Kids, I absolutely LOVE it when TegoxMassu sing it! Especially that one time, on Kei-chan's radio show, when Kei-chan played a clip of them singing it. *shudders* Oh man, Tegoshi's singing sent chills down my spine. LOL! That boy is good...

[Yume_no_Miyavi]

Im Rooting for Kusa all the way mhmm. I think i would have mental break down it got suspended for long time like Uchi But we all know this isnt going to happen - _ - or at least i can i hope But those picture in that magazine were pretty Crazy I hate the God Dayum Paparazzi. uhg

[oh!kura]

I just ask that everyone support Kusano. My Hiro-chan needs lots of fan support so everyone please support him! <3
