NEWS JPOP

Sharing another round of live concert photos - group set and some more yummy pics of Koyama and Shige (or is that 'more pics of the yummy Koyama and Shige'?)

Either way, NEWS gives good concert!

Back to share a selection photos from the 2011-2012 Countdown.

Based on the way things have been the last few years, it's not likely that we'll be seeing any official photos, and the quality of these shots are on the whole much better than the photos from last year.

There 30 photos and about a dozen are of NEWS as a group with the rest focusing on Koyama and Shige.

With many thanks to haruka21, her trusty camera and a little assistance from Photoshop, we can bring you the full view of the NEWS Dwango poster near the Fukutoshin Line at Shibuya Station.

This is the first of a couple of posts I'll be making here to catch up on magazine scans from the past couple of weeks.

This post contains the latest issues of Popolo and Myojo as well as NEWS in Songs (which included the sheet music for Share), and the Ashita no Joe pages from Cinema★Cinema and Cinema Square.

One more post tomorrow and I should be caught up.

An exciting round of magazines this month. Finally NEWS is back on the cover of the main mags after over a year! And together as a group for some photoshoots.

There are posters in Duet, Potato and Winkup but I'm not so sure that they didn't let a work experience kid do a lot of the Winkup layout. I don't know why someone felt the need to do weird manipulations to Ryo and Tegoshi's noses in the poster but it definitely proves both of them should just stay as they are.

So even though they decided to make Shige stand in a hole for the Duet poster, everyone is way more recognisable from the neck up.

Lots more lovely NEWS to come over the next few weeks! Roll on the concert pamphlet!

Plenty of NEWS gorgeousness to be found in the latest issues of Popolo and Myojo as we are poised at the beginning of NEWS season.

It's a wonderfully unfamiliar feeling to know that in the coming weeks we can expect to see lots more of NEWS - in magazines, on tv, a new range of concert goodies, new shop photos - not to mention of course the album and 'Unplugged' dvd.

Let's enjoy every moment!

In all the excitement of concerts and albums and dvds, I've managed to get the latest round of magazines scanned.

And it looks like the mags are going to get better from here. cdJapan already has details up for October Duet and they're listing NEWS as both Cover and a poster!  It's been over a year since NEWS has been on the cover of any of the main 5 mags (though Popolo doesn't count cos it always has tiny head shots of everybody - and larger ones of Arashi). And at least we know they've all been together so we should be looking at a 'REAL' group shot.

It really is starting to feel like NEWS is back, and maybe more since in his jweb entry last night Koyama referred to the "new NEWS"!

Anyway, here you'll find the September issues of Duet, Potato, Winkup and Yamapi's pages of Seventeen. As well the Yamapi posters from Potato and Winkup.

And another round of magazines starts ... It's still July so it must be time for September Myojo and Popolo.

Let's hope that now NEWS has a reason to come together as a group, we can hope to see them together in these magazines very soon! Seems that whoever lays out Popolo has given up trying to give equal space across the members on the title spread page.

And let's hope that we even get to see NEWS on the cover of one of the main monthly mags too - it's been a year! Time to get this party seriously back on track!
