There's really no point in blaming anyone, that's going to get you absolutely nowhere, I know it's hard for some to just accept this, but at least show that your NewS fan. Supporting them through thick and thin is what a fan should do...so that's what I'm going to do, even if Uchi and Notti don't return to NewS (or K8) I'll still be there fan.

hear, hear! you can count ME in, tenshi01! they've been through a lot. hope this year, they'll be much stronger as a team! :dancing:

that was supposed to be a sinister remark, not a real question.

but i get your point. i think everyone's angry. but hantuwriter and tenshi01 (and many others are right). it's not good but AT LEAST NEWS IS BACK. and they need us more than ever.

next thing you know, they'll be blaming shige for ....something really silly, like 'for studying too hard' or they'll blame ryo for being too handsome (jess?) ~ totally x logical.

In fact, there's someone accusing Massu for smiling in his own Adult Ceremony/NewS return press conference........the press conference announced that Uchi and Kusano won't return to NewS now. It's a sad news, and so it's unpleasure to see Massu smile........ :sweat:

Of course, that person who said that was being attacked by many other fans.......so ridiculous story.......

sorry, but ....(why do i always do that? i apologise first, then i shoot 'em down....so bad).

anyways, with no disrespect to Massu, that guy is baka. he always smiles. i think it's automatic....he can't not smile....it's just the way his brain is wired.

IT DOESN'T MEAN that i agree with what he did. i think that if you are gonna be present at a ceremony that 'takes out' 2 of your friends, you don't smile. it's the law.


but he's been known for some very baka things......so, if they want to be angry, go ahead and fire a gun in his direction, but don't kill him. smack him, but don't break his bones. he's just being MASSU.

I think you misunderstand. It's not a ceremony that takes out 2 of his friends. It's Massu's Adult Ceremony, very important ceremony for every Japanese reaching 20. It's just like his graduation/wedding/birthday party whatsoever......It's celebrating him finally grown up and become an adult, moving up to another stage of his life. So I think Massu has all rights to smile as much as he wants. All we can blame is Johnny's once again. He shouldn't combine Massu's Adult Ceremony and NewS press Conference at the same time. If you watched the Adult Ceremony in the past, Takki& Tsubasa, Jin/Toma/Ryo...., and ShujiXAkira's Adult Ceremony, they are very very big event hosted in Meiji Temple w/ thousands of fans attending. Massu doesn't have such great, grand ceremony already, he should not also taken away his right to smile in his own Adult ceremony. I think it's the other way around: Not that Massu should not smile in a ceremony announcing Uchi/Kusano's not-returning, but they should not announce such bad news in Massu's ceremony.

thanks, why am i so stupid......thank you for telling me.

actually, now that i am online, i'd like to ask if you can help, (or if anyone else can help for that matter).

I have downloaded the 'return press conference' so to speak, by news, BUT I CAN'T PLAY IT ON MY WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER. because i haven't got the codec.

i'm a little lost, but can i just download it from the Net? please drop a line if you can....thanks.

Uh...I think you guys are getting kind of mixed information about the press conference. :sweat: So here's some info from LJ:

"If you read kusanozaqt's comment,
Guys, i speak japanese fluently so im just saying this. Im NOT gonna say that kusa and uchi are FOR SURE coming back, but NOWHERE in the news did they say that kusano and uchi ARENT gonna come back. Although I dun wanna get mine and anyone else's hopes up since we never know, this news isnt saying NO THEY ARE ONLY 6 FROM NOW ON."

"A rough translation of Yamapi's statement from the conference:

Yamapi said that "we still keep in touch with them (Uchi and Kusano), and the two are waiting for a decision to be made (by the Jimusho). They (Uchi and Kusano) say they will try their best so we (NEWS) are supporting them.

They also state that they hope that Uchi and Kusano can accept the fact that they have to start from step one, as trainees.

-- translation credits to Debbie(yuzu), Yui kusanozaqt and Airi teenyairi at NP Forums."

"NewS held a press conference yesterday saying that they're gonna have a fresh start with the six members. I will summarize what I've read on the newspaper articles:

- They still keep in touch with Uchi and Kusano by email and phone.
- The NewS members kept on going to the JE office to ask them to forgive Uchi and Kusano. Usually, JE just fires misbehaving kids but bringing them back to even a "trainee" status has never happened before.
- NewS members were asked what they thought of about the "retired" members, but they kept saying things like "they are our friends" and they "hope to someday be on the same stage with them again." Now, if you think about it, if JE has no plans bringing them back to their groups, they would have not allowed them to say these things.
- Ryo hasn't seen Uchi since the incident, but they've been calling. He recently called him to tell him to catch up with them soon and to go eat together on the night of his first day of work.
- NewS will have a new song coming out titled "Hoshi wo mezashite (= aiming for the stars)" and also have a tour coming up in the spring."

And this one I'm not allowed to repost the translation, but here's a link to a translation of the whole press conference: http://nbj-jweb.livejournal.com/12182.html Not sure if it's a friends-only entry or not. But even without reading it, you can get the idea. No one has said that Uchi and Kusano are fired. No one has said that they aren't returning to NEWS. Things are actually looking pretty good-as good as can be expected, really. I mean, for me at least, the press conference made me feel better, not worse. So I hope that maybe people can stop being angry and just support NEWS as they are now, hoping that in the future they can be restored to 8 members. Cuz I think that's what ALL of the boys would want, ne? ^_^

Yup, read that first half also somewhere : lifejournal, ain't it. it's pretty positive. may i please go back to my question : i downloaded the recorded interview in avi format, but now i can't play it. i thought i had codec, but apparently i still can't play the avi. file. how to overcome this?

please advise. thank you.

If you think you might be missing a codec, I recommend dl'ing the Combined Community Codec Pack: http://www.cccp-project.net/ If this doesn't fix it, then the problem most likely isn't a codec... I hope this helps you!

arghh.. i need to catch up. but it's good that the thread is moving fast!

heh liza! download the VLC media player, it plays practically anything and everything :) Just google it and you should be able to find it.

yeah why should we be blaming the other members when they have absolutely no control of whatever that happens in JE.

Hmm.. there will be a PV for their new single right? I hope it isn't just penguins dancing all around the place.

YAY i'm really looking forward to their new single, concerts etc etc. Poor ryo though, he will be so busy. Arghh he better not lose weight again.

Hmm, speaking of online stores, I wonder if anyone shops at cdjapan. Their prices are decent, but not too sure about the shipping.

yeah the cheapest price u could get is from cdjapan... i already canceled my pre order in yesasia coz they still charged me for s/h eventho i opt of standard delivery...

yeah as u can see, konti lng mga pinay mahilig sa NewS, mostly mga kattun fans sila... r u in Us right now?

BTW, NewS's new single has been decided. Called u¯‚ð–ÚŽw‚µ‚āv, theme song of Japanese version of "Happy Feet", the one Tegoshi will voice-act. Release date not decided yet. So I guess this single won't have 7 editions.......

oh my... so its official neh! coz right after the countdown perf of NewS i wiki them and they updated NewS profile, no kusan and uchi can be found in NewS profile and uchi as well in k8

But only for the cheaper stuff......Some of their CD and DVD are ok price, but many other stuff are toooooooooooo over-priced. I remember their Johnny's calendars were much cheaper last year, but all of a sudden raise to $42 this year. So expensive!! So unreasonable!!

ano sa... i canceled my pre in yesasia coz they still charged me for s/h eventho i opt for standar delivery... kyaa... i totally agree w/u now, theyre horrible expensive... EEK!! i placed my order in HMV instead...but theyre still epenisve compared to cdjapan..hmv charged me a total of 2805 yen i think...

I never know you can cancel order at Yesasia. Now I learn something new.

Wanna ask you that 2805 yen you paid to HMV, does it include shipping or not? Isn't the site said 2000yen only? Or is that extra 805yen a tax?

yup u can actually cancel ipre orders... theres this cancel button there somewhere...

yeah in hmv the calendar is 2000 yen so i guess the extra 805yen is s/h and tax... it wasnt specified in the order tho...

I think this is not the time to blame anyone and angry.. the most important now is, NewS is back! they need us as we want them..
I'm sure each of them want NewS come back as 8 member more than we do.. thats why they don't give up and come back so that Kusano and Uchi will catch up later and become one group together again.
Now is a matter of time whether sooner or later Uchi and Kusano will join NewS back..

minna-san, to get ur mind off from kusa and uchi business...
lets have some pic scam ne!!
enjoy
