I was really excited abt both Uchi and Ryo together in Can't they let him finish this first? Cutting him out is too cruel.

As a result of this drinking incident, the programmes featuring this member from NEWS has to make adjustments immediately in line with the suspension of his showbiz activities. It is impossible for this member to return to work within this year and NEWS is expected to operate as a 7-member group from now on following the quiting of its member, Mori Takahiro in 2003 and the suspension of this member who has not been named yet.

FujiTV drama, Ganbatte Ikimasshoi which will be showing its 3rd episode next Tue on 19 July is currently being edited to reduce the appearances of this member who plays an important role in this drama. This is causing a lot of headache for the production crew since it's very difficult to remove this crucial role in just 2 episodes since the beginning of the season.

NHK which shows The Shonen Club which NEWS appear in will use the episode shown on 21 Nov 05 to replace the episode initially slated for airing on 17 July at 6pm on BS 2.

The other TV stations will make a decision on what to do by next week.

NEWS is expected to attend the opening ceremony of Samari on 26 July and the Jimusho is currently thinking of a solution for the rest of the members to cover the duties of the suspended member. In addition, the upcoming Johnny's Film Festa 2005 due to open on 25 July at Tokyo Globe Za will also show this member thus the management is thinking of whether to edit his parts from the film or think of other arrangements.

==========================
Won't return WITHIN THIS YEAR?!? this is too much...Goro Inagaki was only suspended for 143 days (4,5 months)! Uchi will be suspended for 6 months?

Lets just hope its not true...and he will be back within this year, ne...

More information on this matter: -Name of the member is withheld due to him being underaged. Usually, people who break the law and are below 20 do not have their names announced to the media. It is an offence to drink alcohol in Japan if you are under 20 years old. -He was the only NEWS member who attended the dinner cum drinking session with FujiTV announcers. According to reports, it was FujiTV female announcer, Kikuma Yukino who invited him to the drinking session which lasted till the early morning. He left the place alone and was so drunk that he caused a din in Sendai's Koutoudai Park thus leading to the police taking him away after some people called up to make a complaint to the police. -This member was held at the police station for about 4 hours and let off with a stern warning before being released. -Johnny's Jimusho released a statement on 16 July to the press and confirmed this incident. They have indicated that this member will be indefinitely suspended from work. -NEWS were in Sendai to lend support to the women's volleyball team taking part in the Volleyball World Grand Prix and went to the Sendai City Stadium on 14 July to perform during Japan's match. -After the match ended at 9pm, the member went to have dinner with the staff from FujiTV inculding a fellow member of NEWS who is already of age. At about 1 am on 15 July, he went to drink with FujiTV announcer, Kikuma Yukino. He left the restaurant alone and was going back to his hotel when he created a disturbance at the park. -On 16 July when NEWS was supposed to perform during the Japan vs Brazil match, this member did not appear during the programme together with Kikuma who has been suspended too due to this incident. The remaining 7 members did not mention anything about this incident during the press conference. The eldest member, Koyama Keichiro apologised to the media for being unable to reveal anything. -Due to Kikuma bringing this member for drinks and not stopping him from consuming alcohol as a underaged person, FujiTV has apologised for this matter and is considering the punishment to be meted out to her and the staff involved. The worst situation is that she might be taken off from the programmes she is currently hosting. -This member is currently involved in the FujiTV drama, Ganbatte Ikimasshoi and Ep 3 which is due to aired next Tue is currently undergoing editing to reduce this member's appearance. His role is likely to be removed from the drama thus rewriting of the script and re-shooting of the episodes are likely to take place. -The news of his involvement in this case has been made known to the cast members on 16 July and they were shocked about this. The filming is expected to last till middle of Sep in Ehime so there will be a change in the shooting schedule. In actual fact, this member's scenes have been shot up till Ep 7 thus the production staff is in a big hurry to reduce his appearance by a huge percentage in Ep 3. -This member is also involved in the group, Kanjani which is singing the theme song for US anime movie, Robots. The movie company says that it is difficult for them to change the theme song in a hurry at this stage since the movie is showing from 30 July. The song which was expected to be released as a single is now on hold and pending the decision of Johnny's Jimusho. -His appearance on variety programme, Honjani has been edited by the TV station. http://www.yomiuri.co.jp/hochi/geinou/jul/o20050716_10.htm Source: Dorama World translated by erin ======================== this is really bad...I dont know drinking under-aged is such a big deal...or, maybe its because Uchi is a celebrity? Johnny is being really cruel! I mean, its not like he got kicked out from the agency...only suspended, right? Why must edited him out from all the dorama, varieties...and even a song?!? If all 7 episodes of Ganbatte will be edited...it looks like this is not gonna be a 1-2 months case...probably, 4-6 months I really hope my prediction is wrong and Uchi will come back soon! [/url]

ohmygosh!!! >< It is that serious.

gahh.. i seriously can't believe theyre making such a big deal out of this..

i thought the best thing we could do is to actually send our words out to the JE and production of Ganbatte Ikimasshoi. at the website, in the cast's place, it doesn't say uchi's name anymore. and theyre saying that theyre going to cut out his part EVEN THOUGH they shot his scene up to episode 7 already.. even if he can't appear in the show, if possible, people should post up how they feel at the GI BBS page. people do make mistakes, but uchi worked hard doing his role in GI and I think he should be credited for that.

GI website >> http://www.ktv.co.jp/shoi/index.html
BBS page >> http://www.ktv.co.jp/cgi-bin/cork2/post.cgi?_p=shoi_bbs

I wonder how his family is taking it.

Big year for Uchi i guess. I'm a little proud of how johnny's is dealing with them. Here in america young stars can do a lot and nothing really happens more then laws . They take these kids on at young ages and are basicly going to play a huge part in their life (20-30 years of it) They need to do what they need to do

but really... the drama is something bigger then uchi and shouldn't be messed with too many other people work on it. If you have to recast him all the other cast has to go back to shooting and if you have to rewrite it then you have to reshoot too.

Also i don't understand not posting their pictures on the site... -_- their look and talent are the product... here too we get Hey!x3 and all johnny groups are edited out here... no johnny's seen them sitting in the BG but no interviews or singing.

Yeah, I was so confused. Some of the stupid reports were saying that although the japan media didn't expose his name fans knew because Uchi was the only on missing from MS. But when I saw MS Ryo wasn't there either...

Also, fans knew it was Uchi because he's still a minor, while Ryo has been legal...

anywhoo.. i dont really have much to say about this incident.. cuz i dont really wanna think about it.. but i of course support Uchi no matter what the case will be.. ganbatte ne!


as for Johnny's no being shown in America.. its all a copyright thing i think. They onlee way you can see a JE member is if they are in a Dorama showing here.. and thats it.

Oh no... this look really bad............ no matter what..... i will still support him... gabatte Uchi!!!!

well....i'm just relieved that he's not gonna be kicked out...

6 months....eventhough that's a long time.... it's still ok as long as he's coming back right...

but if he behaves very good and doesnt do anything bad, i'm sure JE will bring him back earlier...right?

think positive guys!!!

I bet because of the pressure that made him act like this. Can he handle life of being a celebrity? I wonder..

Guys, guess who i saw just now....

A masuda LOOKALIKE...
he looks exactly like masuda~! Even his hairstyle...

i was on the way to my car at the parking lot when i saw this guy... i stopped and looked at him... both me n my sister were staring at him.... People can easily think he's Masuda... except he's kinda chubbier... but he got the same smile n eyes... luckily he didnt realise we were staring at him... that'd be embarassing....

hello.. sorry. anyone has NEWS - Kibou yell.mp3 can share with me??

AHHHHH SORRY!! i didnt meant it to be a new topic..
.........

hello. sorry. anyone has News - Kibou yell.mp3 can share with me??? thanx..

Yeah, that's possible.
But it is also possible that he simply wanted to try out the alcohol.
Or that he simply wanted to be cool infront of the others...
It's not unusual for guyz at his age...
And I definitely think, that JE's punishment is way too hard.
Some warning should have been enough.

this 6 moths is not going to be like before without uchi!
Baka uchi, BAKA BAKA BAKA!

well well... ganbatte ne... its all i can say
