I would say nothing in a way .

Compared to their senpai ARASHI & koukai KAT-TUN , NEWS's selling power's the least if you compare all 3 bands side by side together which's quite unfortunate

it kinda don't help matters that Ryo Nishikido's the only Johnny juggling 2 bands back to back which's so hard on him

And it was like, Ai Otsuka, Ami Suzuki, then kuu...and then no one really even did anything...No female artist has gotten really big have they...at least not in the same terms as namie, ayu, and hikki...i think.

seriously no other jpop female solo artiste has accomplished what has ayumi done in the 21st century , it's going to be hard for her to 'find' a successor of sorts

that's the thing , they don't have a variety show , they're probably the only group that doesn't have 1 in Johnny's

heck even Kanjani8 has their own one which started last year but not NEWS which's real fishy

I think their popularity & sales will be higher should they have 1 & ehhh you don't count Ryusei no Kizuna in the mix ?

Ryo was in the show so

That goes for RESCUE too which ended recently & Masuda acted on the show with KAT-TUN's Nakamaru
