NEWS

Hello minna....everyone remember little old me :sweat:
Gomen...I haven't been around lately....and totatlly misesd spazzing about NewS return with everyone here...but don't worry I did enough of that on my own xD

It would be crazy of me reading all the past post.....my eyes would fall out xD So I'll jump in to any convo xD I'm sure everyone still talking about the Countdown and the PV ne?
The Countdown was of course just AWESOME...I did a mega huge capspam at my LJ :mrgreen: Might be just going crazy over NewS return, but I actually missed their crazy costumes xD Just brings a lot of memories were I just cringed xDDD Love them anyway ^__^
The PV was just the cutest thing EVER, loved it to bits. At first I was shocked that they decided to make another version of the PV, but it was a good decision, b/c even though I loved One Piece...it was a total let down D:
Concerning Uchi and Notti....I've talked too much about this already I think...but I'll just quote myself on my LJ xD
"Seems like the Uchi and Notti issue has died...a tad bit ^^;; And I've collected my thoughts on this too...Honestly when I first heard about it, I thought WTF was the Jimusho thinking o_O...but now I just feel that I REALLY admire Uchi and Notti. I'm not 100% sure if they were truly WILLING to be trainees...but the fact of the matter is THEY ARE. But for Uchi and Notti too work their butts off to rise up (not even certain if they'll even return to their respected group(s)) is just something to admire. Just shows how much they probably love JE, LOVE their job and LOVE their fans T______T We should all be grateful they're finally back!! I'm sure JE has something in stored for them......NewS and Eito members, I'm 100% sure, have not given up on them either and are supporting them all the way, no matter where they are positioned. We need to do the same, like we always have, and support them!! Most of us have waited for Uchi for more than a year....I think I still have it in me to wait for Uchi's TRUE COMEBACK.......and that's my two cents on this....."

Let's just all be patient, seriously...none of us knows the future...

And from Pi's jweb, NewS are in LA....I think I heard for the calendar shooting....KYAH, why is always LA (or Hawaii xDD)
And everyone must read Shige's jweb HERE Shige you write such beautiful things sometimes :shamefulcry:

LoL, sorry for the looooooong post......

L.A.? What makes you say L.A.? Didn't he just say it was another country? That would mean NEWS is in the same state as me right now! Not that it matters, I can't really go all the way to L.A. to try to hunt them down. XD

Can't wait for the new album!!! I want it now!

tenshi01: Van!! Hey, haven't seen you in the longest time!! >< *hugs* lol I did the whole NEWS spazzing thing everywhere. xP Online, at home, in my mind... :mrgreen:

Seriously? NEWS are in LA? If they are, I want to be there!!! O(>W<)O *sigh* I may live in the US, but I live no where near California... Why must I live on the other side of of the US? :grumble: lol

Thanks for Shige's jweb translation.^^ Aww... Shige. ><

GodsGirl7: lol Pretty much the same with me. Even if I do live in LA (which I don't), I probaly don't even have time to hunt them down.^^; (Yeah... In my dreams. :sweat: ) lol xD

GodsGirl7: I didn't read the entry directly, but my friend who read the 1/2/07 entry said Pi had said they were in LA...

yeuannh: LoL, came back to confirm that I didn't die xD
HMM, I think if I did live LA, I would at least take an hour of my time to hunt them down xDD

I also heard that all the members, except Pi and Ryotan, after their perf at the Countdown they all cried their little eyes out, Ryotan comforted Masu by patting his back and Pi consoled Shige and Kei-chan...don't know about Teshi ^^;;;

Was that shown or was it only backstage? I haven't downloaded the countdown yet :sweat:

Yes, they are in LA. The official NewS calendar publisher Kadokawa official website provides the description of the calendar saying that all pics in the calendar will be taken in Hollywood, LA and some beaches around that area. So NewS ARE in LA rite now.

BTW, anyone know where else can I order the calendar outside Japan? It's not listed on Yesasia.com yet but saw calendars for other Johnny's artists and all of them sell at over $40!! The original price for NewS calendar is only 2000yen!! Yesasia really wanna make BIG profit on it. DAMN!

Have anyone seen the variety show Yamap participated and aired on Jan2? He's sooooooooo cute there! Twisting his butt w/ Shin-chan........XDDD And then try to shoot Shin-chan w/ a gun in his hand for making him to do such embarassing motion .......XDDD

shinshin: No, they didn't show that on TV, but it was just from reports from fans who were actually at the Countdown.

I recently bought my Kanjani8 calender...I thought it was at a reasonable price....I'm sure NewS calender will show up soon somewhere else...contemplating if I should get it myself ^^;;;

Wow! Did you order the K8 calendar at Yesasia? Wow, you are rich, aren't you? =p

No, no, I never buy at YesAsia ^^;; I bought mine at HMV..it was 1,905 which is about 15.97 USD....but then plus shipping it came out to 3,105..which is about 26.01 USD....I never really checked around any other place for prices ^^;

Kyah, I'm still waiting to d/l pu-sama, I want to see Pi shake his butt with Shinn-chan xDDD

EDIT: I checked at HMV, and NewS calendar is also 2,000....hmmm....seriously should I buy it xDD

Oh, HMV sell worldwide? I thought JP HMV only ship domesticallycc.$26 is fair price. But then I live in USA, farther away, higher shippingcc.Let me go check and see if total price for USA shipping still cheaper than Yesasia.

tenshi01: lol The body guards will probably get me if they saw me stalking NEWS. :hehe:

Aww... That's so sweet.^^ I bet Tegoshi probably cried too.

YesAsia sells things incredibly expensive.^^; I've considered buying from there once, but it wasn't worth it. Then there are other online stores, but they never sell Japanese imports at a reasonable price. However, this HMV sounds ok. Do they ship to the US at the same price?

I did shop at Yesasia sometimes. The Chinese CD and DVD and the JP singles are ok priced. But the JP calendars are just soooooooooo UNREASONABLE!! Johnny's or not.

Yeah, but how do you buy from HMV? Isn't the site all in Japanese?

Van youre back! Long time no see, neh? :mrgreen: Well I havent been here in a while either before my "comeback" but anyway :hehe: You bought K8 calendar? Oh man, I wish I had the money, Im not sure if I can even buy the NewS calendar when its up in CDJapan. Probably not cos I gotta save every penny for my trip to Italy. Oh well, I guess it would be depressing to see a NewS calendar with 6 members, like last year when I bought the school calendar :sweat: Anyway, nice to have you back with us! :mrgreen:

Heh for those living in the US but not near LA, it must be the same feeling as for me when I couldnt go and see Tegomass in Sweden... My trip was not possible cos minors cant travel with a ship without an adult, or without an adult picking you up from the terminal. With a plane you can travel without adults, but I didnt have the money for that. Blehhhh... so close but still so far :grumble:

GodsGirl7: If you go to the HMV site there's english option on the top left: http://img405.imageshack.us/img405/8545/hmvgq1.jpg

Miru! Aww, that's too bad, I'm not too far from New York City, I could of stalked MatsuJun there xD but I really don't have the time ^^;; That's a four hour drive, which I'm not willing to do =P If it was Ryotan however, well that's just a different story xD

I want to hear about NewS single soon, cause I don't know if I can cash out money for both calendar and single ^^;; I just want to have more options xD...Oh for those buying the calendar at HMV.....I preordered my K8 calender a while ago, so I don't remember exactly, but it priced at 2,000 YEN (just like NewS right now), but then when I purchased it, it went down to 1,905 YEN, don't know if they'll still do that ^^;

Hahaha, of course, anything for our lovely Ryotan (who btw would be perfect for a Taiga drama, and was real smexy in that Kanjani8 special where Yoko was the leading actor :hehe: ). Well I asked a permission from my school to be absent for a day cos I went to watch a EURO 2008 qualifier football match (Finland vs Portugal) in Helsinki :hehe: I went there with a bus, but its still about 3,5 hours from where I live :beaten: Kinda off-topic I guess XDD

@ Tenshi01: Ohhh, thanks! :D

@ CenturyLover: Actually, it's not that bad, cuz even if I was able to go to L.A., chances are pretty slim that I'd actually find them, since it's not an actual event or anything. :sweat: And even if I did find them, all I could do is take stalkerish pictures, be annoying for a while, and leave. XD

Van!!! You're back!!! We missed you!! LOL :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

You and Miru sure would do anything for Ryo XD *giggles* If I found out any NEWS member was in Manchester, I would go around spending a productive day (wasting a whole day?) hunting him down :beaten:. I think if I ever went to Japan (some things have happened which make my summer plans very, very distant at the moment ^^;; ) I would probably spend my whole time there prowling the streets for any glimpse of any JE boy XD

LOL, GodsGirl7, thats probably what we would all do if we ever met them anywhere ^^

Miru, I can't believe you asked permission from your school to be absent. I would've just not come, heheh...

Oh yeah, somehow, I feel like they shouldn't have brought NEWS back during the countdown. Of course, it's not like there was any other better opportunity, but, it took away the attention from the senpais and from the countdown itself. It sure is a pity that Kondo Masahiko performed right after NEWS, while people were still on a NEWS high... well, they were on a NEWS high right up to the end ^^;
