NEWS meme
I wonder why it's called 'meme' but wth, I'm doing this. Thanks tegophilic for sharing ^_^
1. That you're doing this, we can assume you like NEWS at least some.
> I wouldn't bother if I didn't
2. CAn you name all 4 current members?
> Is this a test? Fine. Ranked by age - Koyama Keiichiro, Masuda Takahisa, Kato Shigeaki, Tegoshi Yuya.
3. What about the 4 not currently around?
> There's Nishikido Ryo --- tsss.. hot.
Yamapi -- who looks too much alike with that Taiwanese superstar, Wu Chun
Then Uchi and Kusano
4. Ninth who left a long time ago?
> Moriuchi Takahiro of One Ok Rock. Darn he had the best singing voice in the group, why'd he have to leave so soon. Tsk.
5. How did you learn about NEWS?
> Through this beautiful creature named Tegoshi Yuya
6. What was your first impression of NEWS?
> I knew Matsujun and Arashi way before NEWS (they're just too damn popular) but when I saw them, I was like "They must be the most good lookin group ever in Japan!" and I wasn't even a fan yet.
7. How did you come to like NEWS?
> I first thought that NEWS had only 4 members because I first saw them in the NEWS Soukon Variety Show. I thought they were really funny and cute and damn good looking. I liked them coz they say the most random things and act like dorks when they're supposed to be Johnny's Idols.
8. What do you think is NEWS strongest point when compared to other JE/music/talent groups?
> I don't even know. We have our own biases and I just can't think of an answer to this question. Lol
9.What do you think is NEWS weakest point when compared to other JE/music/talent groups?
> Well my friend told me once "I don't like NEWS coz they're so boring" I guess they are compared to SMAP, Arashi, Kanjani8 and even HSJ. I don't know why they're not that famous (not at that level to say the least) but then, I don't really care. I only got eyes for NEWS and I would say the same to those other groups that I don't follow -- boring >D
10. Are you listening to them right now?
> Naw. I'm listening to the drops of fallin rain. It's been a while since it rained here in Quezon City, ya know.

Baby Be My Baby (I fell inlove with this song without knowing it's theirs)
Full Swing (I love the lyrics and how they say 'furu swingu de')
NEWS Nippon
Forever (because of the English lines!)
Pokoponpekorya (fun fun song)
13. What's your all-time favorite solo song?

16. What non-Japanese song would you love to hear NEWS do a cover of?

17. Do you enjoy songs with all members or smaller groups better?
> You mean NEWS or Tegomass? I love all TM songs coz their harmony is just a-mazing! But NEWS songs have a different touch and meaning so I can't compare them. Both are awesome.

> I will. Soon. When I got time.
