edit: Gosh i just read the translation to the yamapi talk part on shounen club premium. here: http://otomodachi0409.livejournal.com/12506.html

pls go read it if you have the 3 mins to.

after reading this, i have to say that i gained alot of respect for yamapi. I respect him for his courage to even say all these during the interview, his courage to open himself up to accept the members although what he really wanted at some point of time was just to return to his 4tops. I respect him for always putting on a brave front, being a fabulous leader who's always encouraging his members. It definitely hasn't been an easy journey for yamapi and i hope the rest of the members will treasure him ^^

I do not know much about the history of 4tops but i do hope they do get their debut soon, even without yamapi..

It's comforting to know that NEWS has developed from a group with members sticking to their own little cliques and couldn't wait for the one month to pass to a group that genuinely care for each other, one where members stood bravely together through hardships.

Last but not least, ganbare NEWS! Show the world the new NEWS!!

The pic Jess posted above is from the News report from yesterday. It's about NewS's return concert and 30,000fans went there.

2nd half of SC Premium interview basically talked about his fight w/ Kame in the past, and how they made up b/c they knew they can't go on like that when they had to work together for Nobuta wo Produce. That's the same thing he talked about in last year's Hey!Hey!Hey! Yamapi also talked about his solo CD Daite Senorita, how he was worried about the sale and ranking. And talked about college, studying marketing. After studying in this field, he got better understanding of the operation of Johnny's. He got annoyed when cirled by lots of ppl in college, and some guy touched his hair and he was unhappy about that, and even thought about not going to school anymore if the fans still like that.......Also talked about his dream to live in Hawaii again......

Ryo: ahem we're on TV. Quit making such a din. And don't give me that lovey dovey look now..

Pi: I just want attention...

Ryo: Alright turn around. *touches pi's hair*

Pi: *satisfied. grins to himself and shuts up*

Yes, Pi had it the worst during those early days. Not only Pi actually, but also Ryo & Uchi. They've mentioned in one interview (mostly from Ryo) how worried they were about the future of Kanjani8 if they were to leave the group for NEWS, of course that never happened. But just imagine those worrying moe about K8 than themselves...That's what true friendship is, K8 are friends. And though I'm not much of a fan of NEWS, I've noticed that NEWS are also moving into 'friends' territory (instead of just members, K8 have moved into friends territory years ago), a bit like KT I think (who in the past despite all of their inner conflicts still more 'friends' than NEWS members)...But I'm glad they're moving that way.

i thought Love Song and Colorful was good :sweat:

nope. it's on animax. you don't subscribe astro? i saw the 2006 MS special...

i think they were great~! i actually love the song "love song" more than daite senorita

I just finished watching the Hoshi wo Mezashite MS Live video on Youtube, and something (maybe I'm slow or something) popped up after the video... there's this Thai group called Kisz (correct me if I'm wrong) portraying the guys in Thailand at the local music festivals... they've done a couple of songs like Akaku Moyuru Taiyo and Cherish...

No offence, but my goosebumps stood a little while watching them portray NEWS... :bonk:

Love Song and Colourful are good. I love those songs, but, they weren't actually released as a solo single, unlike Daite Senorita, so you can't compare why Daite Senorita was a hit unlike Love Song and Colourful.

When you said MS fever, I thought you were going through the old ones ^^;;. I've watched MSSL, but not on TV, LOL. We don't subscribe astro at home. My dad thinks that they're this all-evil organisation intent on freezing the minds of his children via the idiot box and create mindless robots XD.

LOL, Fuwari, you reminded me of an old episode of one of the K8 shows. Ryo and Uchi met this guy on skates and with ugly clothes dancing to NEWS' songs. It was hilarious :rofl:. They kinda backdanced for that guy. You could just imagine how Ryo looked :rofl:
Maybe I'll go and look up this group you're talking about :hehe:

Konichiwa.

Hello...I've been wanted to post here for a while but something was wrong with my account but right now I just got it fixed. woot.

Anyways, I'm kind of a newbie to News. I've recently been watching Yayayah. (Old and New) So I know the K.K.K guys. (what a name xP) I love Kusano, and I think that Shige looks alot like Matsumoto Jun in the old yayayah episodes...but a wee bit better looking. o__O;;

I know Ryo because...I love him. I watched him on Ichi Ritoru No namida (Nya I loved his singing solo) and Ganbatte. I like how's he's mean and calls everyone Buta. I heard he's really nice to Tegoshi though and spoils him. xD;;

And who doesn't know Yamapi for crying out loud. xP (I'm blunt)

I know Tegoshi mostly from My Boss My Hero and then later after watching Onnigoko. Then I got into the whole TegoMassu, which led me too Massuda.

The first song I've listened to News was Cherish. And then recently i've downloaded most of there songs. I really like 'DREAMS' and Sayaendo. (I love the whole pirate thing)

Anyways there comeing back together and I'm really excited. I don't know the first members that's welll (All I can remember is not knowing Uchi. Only from Ganbatte. But I know he was on probation for drinking)

I really feel like a late bloomer. But yoroshikuonegai shimasu.

Jess: thank you so much for the rips link! I have download it and have listerned to it all day long.. I think I love snow express, sound so genki ne..
about the solo.. the song that catch my ears at the first round is Keichan & shige song I don't know sound so funny to me.. Tegoshi & massu and Yamapi new solo. While the one that so suprise to me is Ryo chan! I know that he can reach the high pitch but this song sound so rock and I wonder how his throat after singing it..

and other think about the SC premium.. I almost cried watching Yamapi face when he watch 4TOPS, his impression so.. deep.. suddenly I was thinking on why they come out that clip purposely because they know how deep Yamapi feeling towards 4TOPS..

now I'm a little bit confuse since there is several version of yamapi's hair style.. is there any of the show is recording show? I mean which one is real live show and the latest one.. maybe because they always used the same custome, I'm confuse already. when I saw sayaendou clip tegoshi's hair looks too long for me..

OMG this is long.. gomen ne! jya!
