i think if YamaPi goes solo (officially), i can't help but think that it would signal the end NEWS. i mean, Ryo does have Eito. YamaPi has always been more popular than the group itself, imo. i think TegoMass would still go on...but idk about Koyama and Shige.

but nothing's official yet, so NEWS is still intact as of right now. :)

Tegoshi goes Greek in new commercial

http://momoedgewood.files.wordpress....pg?w=285&h=300

Yuya Tegoshi (NEWS) has turned into a Greek shepherd for his latest commercial, it was revealed on June 16, reports News 24.

The Johnny’s talent has been chosen as the new face of energy drink マッチ(Match), and will appear in a series of comical TV commercials playing Melos, a character from Japanese short story “走れメロス (Run, Melos)” by Osamu Dazai. The story is about young Greek shepherd Melos and his friendship with Selinuntius.

In the first commercial, fans will see high schooler Melos running after the school bus, which he missed after sleeping in, and screaming out his friend’s name.

It has been reported Tegoshi turned up to today’s press conference wearing his Greek costume.

“I’m a popstar, I have to be able to wear anything!” he said.

It was revealed Tegoshi had run more than three kilometres during the commercial shoot, but it did not bring him down.

“It was a little hard to speed up while holding the product in my hand, but it was fun. I love running,” he said.

To make things more interesting, a treadmill was brought into the hall, and Tegoshi insisted he answered questions while running. It has been reported even when he was asked whether he was ever late for school, the talent managed to keep talking while running.

“I was never late for school! I remember running flat out from the nearest station to school,” he said.

where are NEWS ? >o<

my younger sister said that Shige will appear next week on ARASHI's Himitsu no Arashi-chan & he will appear in the Mannequin Five segment

super ~_~ xD

i'm glad for tegomass, but.....NEWS. :weep

anyway, can't wait to see shige on HnA. :P

Cool! Can't wait to listen!

has it really been 2 years since Tegomass no Uta was released ? :O

Man it doesn't feel like so but I can't help but feel really excited for Tegomass no Mahou to get released next month *____*

Especially the studio version of Ai no Naka de . The live take was really good <3

CDJapan tweeted this just now

Thanks to the Hoshi wo Mezashite Project, the single from NEWS is at the top of Real Time Ranking at CDJapan! bit.ly/mZhUaP

^_^

Gaa feel like listening to Hoshi wo Mezashite now X.X

aww that's nice to hear! :)

i'm wondering what johnny has in store for NEWS. it's sad to not seem them doing anything as a group. :(

I feel sorry for the fans frankly speaking & it's not funny to wait so long before they can announce what they can do next

Also out of all the Johnny's , NEWS is the only group that doesn't host their own variety show which make things even worst as they had potential to sell well but alas alas

;_;

maybe we'll be surprised and all of a sudden, a new single pops up? but at this rate, that would probably be at the end of the year or early 2012. but i'd be satisfied, lol. :P

Yeah, I'm not sure why NEWS as its six-man group have not been active together...

considering that you proclaim before that you listen/follow Johnny's , it's surprisingly ignorant of you not noting what has EACH member in NEWS have been up to from beginning this year til now ~_~ which contributed to the group's inactivity when comes to their material release

It's quite obvious that you probably had no idea that ....
