You can turn off the sun but I'm still gonna shine, and I'll tell you why

NEWS new releases and tour! Excited about the single, a bit pressed about the best album (because it'll have RyoPi's voices in it and they'll get royalties for something they won't help promote) and ecstatic about the tour. They've been wanting to perform lives together for so long. I don't think NEWS have ever toured during the summer. It probably ( Read more... )

From what I remember, Johnny's don't get royalties for albums or singles, they have a yearly salary. They'll get paid for other activities, like appearing in advertisements, and I assume dramas, but I think anything produced directly by the company, no royalties are involved.

OIC. XD Thanks for clarifying. Seems a bit unfair for the mega sellers like Arashi though, shouldn't they get a share of the profit?

budiamond April 18 2012, 11:14:15 UTC

Don't worry, their salaries aren't all the same. ;) I imagine Arashi's are way up there.

And here I was thinking that MatsuJun might not get enough money to have his hair done. XD Well, it would be reasonable that the more successful/famous they are, the bigger salaries they get.

Best macro ever

Massu rocks!

lemonadetea April 18 2012, 06:54:25 UTC

I've been assuming they'll just awkwardly remove RyoPi's bits. But yeah, they're on salaries.

lol Massu. He really is a troll. Lucky he's so cute.

It'll be a lot of work for the four to re-record and fill in the blank parts though. And considering JE even included solos like MOLA or Code in the voting... >.>

Maybe I should've gone with "I troll because I'm cute". XD

crumplelush April 18 2012, 12:44:35 UTC

What? MOLA and Code shouldn't be in there! That's so unfair!

And the countdowns were Massu's idea? He certainly is a good troll!

carmine_pink April 18 2012, 14:13:22 UTC

Yeah... stuff like Gomen ne Juliet, ordinary, etc. Am side-eyeing those songs so hard.

He's got style. 8D

I'm saving this macro and totally using it whenever possible! because Massu ♥

I haven't got a clue which 4 songs to vote for, but I've been very much glaring at the dropdown menu everytime I see Ordinary and Mola, because really? >.<

You're idea about a Shigemassu birthday celebration has me feeling all gooey and happy inside, because that would adorable and precious and OMG if it happens they must release it on a tour DVD!!

carmine_pink April 19 2012, 06:03:59 UTC

Exactly my goal when making macros. XD

And Code and Gomen ne Juliet, and others. >.> Anyhow, I doubt that anyone invested enough in the new NEWS to cast a vote would choose the solo songs of the members who left. Unless they're really, really sick.

They totally should! ShigeMassu have said they wanted to do that in the past, but they never toured during the summer. XD

LOL, a matryoshka countdown would be awesome. And have Yoo Young Jin sing the BGM.

Me too. I'm willing to buy multiple editions of the single just to support the group (still praying for four special individual covers + a group one. Or better yet, make it a puzzle like SJ's Opera :P), but for the album, no thanks. XD
