[NEWS] Let's Blow Out 10 'Happy' Birthday Candles To The 10th Official NEWS Thread !

[ka♡ri.]

I love how I'm like - crying that Shige's hair isn't as blond as before! lol I used to HATE it. I really love Shige's verse, his voice !

Now watching the PV again, it's not as boring as before. It's really adorable, a lot cuter than the SUMMER TIME PV! I hope this single gets like...weeeek sales or at least beats SUMMER TIME... >>

and !
The Happy Birthday dance is like the Taiyou no Namida dance with heart signs~

[♥ you!]

The video looks like something H!P would do. Umm it's cute, still trying to like the song though.

[KarenPang]

I'm watching it now , so far it's really nice & cute

can tell it's expensive from the special effects & the works

did anyone realise there was a particular scene in the video where they circled 1st Oct on the calendar ?

[Beauty4123]

yup i noticed that, lol.

I didn't see anything else about the new album tho... i can't wait for a new album!!!! ^^

[KarenPang]

^ lol that's the same piece of info that Irene posted but it's ok & yes a new album's already long overdue

I don't know if Happy Birthday will be included in their 3rd album or not , quite unlikely that will happen though since at the mo , I haven't seen a JE album containing 4 singles

at max it's 3 but you never know

[freedreamer]

i think it was ok..somehow i really like these simple songs this time round..like this song and miss you..
so yea, its ok...
fun and catchy...and easy

[Beauty4123]

is it just me or did tegoshi look GOOD in the PV? he looks so cute and also a bit handsome, for a change. maybe it was the lighting of the video, lol.

[ll moments ll]

yeah, NEWS will have a concert AND Johnny's CDL on December 31st (both @ Tokyo Dome). they're gonna be busy! KinKi Kids used to have Tokyo Dome for their winter tours, but i think they're doing it at Osaka Dome this time.

i have a feeling "Happy Birthday" won't be on the album for the usual 3 singles per album. like "DUES" wasn't on KAT-TUN's album since it would've been the 4th single on that one.

[Beauty4123]

so if it's not gonna be on the album, why is it released so early? unless a new album comes in november or december.

[ll moments ll]

i think it's because the fact that JE groups sell more with singles. it was pretty obvious that DUES was marketed to be one of the year's top-selling singles, that if it were to be included in -Queen of Pirates-, it would halt single sales.

so, i think if the album were to include "Happy Birthday", sales would crossover to album sales, instead of single sales where JE really shines at.

[Beauty4123]

ohh i see. it makes sense

happy birthday isn't as good as the previous 3 singles to be on the album anyway, lol.

[ll moments ll]

LOL.

i guess i'm the lone soul that actually likes "Happy Birthday".
the PV & cover art's cheap as hell though.

[Beauty4123]

noo i LOVE the song too, trust me. i had it in my head the whole day. but compare it to, like, taiyou no namida or weeeek, it's just not that strong as a song. basically, it's a simple, cute, but very catchy song. i still like it. even with the cheap covers and all.

[ll moments ll]

nothing can beat "weeeek", IMO. i LOVE that song!!
but hmmmm, i think it beats "Taiyou no Namida" & "SUMMER TIME".

i generally like stuff similar to SEAMO's work, so that explains why. haha.

[Aga-chan]

The PV is cute. I like the scenes when they seem like "LOL What am I doing here!? xD;". The one who seemed the most like this throughout the PV was Tesshi. He was like "What am I supposed to do!? *sweatdrop* *laughing at Ryo*".

Koyama looked SO GOOD! *o* I hardly payed attention to anyone else. =P

[TITANIC]

NEW ALBUM yeahyeahyeah
I hope more info come soon...
