No Yamapi for now :O

This month's Shounen Club Premium aired footages of the 3rd last day of NEWS LIVE TOUR 2019 WORLDISTA that took place last month on 19th May at Saitama Super Arena

And further proof that NEWS's future album will be titled STORY

NEWS LIVE TOUR 2019 WORLDISTA centres on a WORLDISTA virtual cup gaming competition

Still a shame that the album material in WORLDISTA is so boring aside from the main album title track :x

Yamapi's CHANGE is definitely a lot more better than Reason / Never Lose

I think watching In Hand does help & it's quite cool that they managed to incorporate some elements of the drama into the CHANGE PV although Yamapi should have wore that robotic arm but nah x)

I don't know what to think about Come around for now . It looks like the PV was shot at the same time as Like A Movie cos seems like I've seen the same girl who starred in both PVs ? o_O O_o

CHANGE sold about 84K copies in its 1st week of release & this's Yamapi's 1st no.1 solo single in almost 6 years with his last solo single getting no.1 was SUMMER NUDE '13 :s

Congrats Yamapi

Streaming of Yamapi's CHANGE PV

I appreciate that Sony Japan has give Yamapi a lot more control over his solo material as he had a lot of personal input towards UNLEASHED

I wouldn't be surprised if Yamapi felt suppressed when he was under Warner Japan even though during that time he came up with some of his best solo material to date

NEWS & other artistes will be performing at this year's TV Tokyo's Tere to Ongakusai 2019

Same with previous years , TOKIO's Taichi will be hosting Tere to Ongakusai 2019 again alongside with actress Hirosue Ryoko

For NEWS , they're scheduled to perform tonight from 10pm Japan time onwards

Last night Tere to Ongakusai 2019 performance of NEWS where they performed Chankanpana & Top Gun

All 3 versions of Top Gun / Love Story will be released next Fri in Taiwan

Dragonism could have been something included in WORLDISTA while weeeek -Represent NEWS Mix- is nice but the original is still better

Somehow weeeek -Represent NEWS Mix- lacks a certain amount of energy :s

Yume no Kazu dake Ai ga Umareru -Represent NEWS Mix- is ok , I still prefer the original & the short acapella versions

Happy birthday Masuda , he turns 33

Masuda shares the same birthday as ex KAT-TUN's Akanishi

Voice 110 Kinkyu Shireishitsu drama cast surprised Masuda with a birthday cake

Both Top Gun / Love Story & Yamapi's CHANGE are certified Gold for shipment of 100K copies

NEWS's performance on last Sat's THE MUSIC DAY 2019 ~Jidai~ was really cool

Not the 1st time a Johnny utilised a school orchestra band as their backup musicians but the way it was done it was nice

And frankly I'm glad for once NEWS didn't sing Chankanpana again . Full Swing is still a great song all these years

The version of Top Gun that NEWS performed on THE MUSIC DAY 2019 ~Jidai~ was entertaining . Even the band members were in synch with NEWS moves wise

Happy birthday Shige :spazzed

Most of the Johnnys attended Johnny-san funeral that was held at Johnnys' Island training hall in Shibuya

Not sure if anyone's interested to watch In Hand but all 11 episodes that've been hard subbed in English can now be watched online

https://www2.dramacool.video/drama-detail/in-hand

Yamapi wrote on his Instagram that he's currently in Spain shooting THE HEAD

https://www.instagram.com/p/B0UtKgAnzAa/

That would explain why Yamapi did not perform in this month's 3 back to back Summer shows on TV

Somemore Yamapi will be in Spain for 3 months so looks like new solo music will not be in from him anytime soon

NEWS 15th Anniversary LIVE 2018 "Strawberry" DVD + Blu-ray will be released on 11th Sept !

Footages were recorded last Aug at Tokyo's Ajinomoto Stadium

https://www.jehp.jp/news_information/article/2519

To think my friend a few days ago was grumbling when the concert footages would be released , LOL

And she already ordered her copies :p
