I got my copy last week and I like it. ^^
But I don't get the deal about "SNOW EXPRESS". It's probably the song I like the least on "color". Though it might grow on me.

And LOL at "MURARISUTO". While "CHIRARIZUMU" is about sneaking under a girls skirt, "MURARISUTO" is about looking at a girls cleavage. Does that mean the next album will get a "parental advisory" sign on it? xD Or maybe they should have a song with that title. xD

^"SNOW EXPRESS" is OK. I don't understand what's THAT great about it, really.

I see "MURARISUTO" as a playful, boyish song. Same for "CHIRARIZUMU". With the music and the singing it's difficult to label it as 100% perverted. I mean the lyrics are cute, in one way or another.

:O i actually think "SNOW EXPRESS" is one of NEWS' better songs. but we each have our opinions! ^^

[RUMOR] OH HAY KUSANO RETURNING?

this is a rumor. this is a rumor. this is a rumor.
but i will give my opinions, nevertheless. xD

I know I'm gonna get slapped for this but prior to the album version of SNOW EXPRESS , I didn't even bothered to watch/hear the live performances that the guys did in their tour DVDs *sheepishly* but that changed after that so yup

I agree that if Kusano returns to NEWS then Uchi should, too. Though I'd prefer NEWS to stay as a six member group and have Uchi back to Kanjani8. But, is a return even possible now? Didn't like both groups release 2 albums without them already? If they'd come back now, what would they sing during concerts despite those old and new songs with the drunk divas? Akanishi was on a half year self-hiatus, yet KAT-TUNs future and Akanishis future in KAT-TUN was still kinda unsure, so what can be said after 2+ years?

For NEWS I prefer the post-hiatus music over the "touch" days. I didn't really listen to "touch" so far, but I'm not really interested, to be honest. Also with six members, solo parts in songs can be distributed equally. Koyashige seemed almost not present during the "touch" days.

umm actually I'm netural about this especially since I came onboard the NEWS music wagon after Uchi & Kusano were suspended

but I guess for the fans who followed NEWS since NEWS NIPPON , naturally they want both guys to be back ?

EDIT some NEWS related stuff & this centres on Tackey & Tsubasa's Tackey who's dropping his solo single Ai Kakumei next month :

from http://never-ending-music-power.blogspot.com/ :

"The second track is called WITH LOVE, and will have a PV that will be on the second LE edition of the single. The bonus track only on the RE cd in called Home Party!! and will have guest vocalists, Yamapi (NEWS) , Yoko and Hina (both Kanjani8)."

wow I have to hear Home Party !! man in due time

I hope Home Party !! will sound good

i don't want kusano (or uchi) back :grumpy i like my 6 group NEWS, lol.

^ me too. no one should return! >.<

when i saw massu's new hair, i was kind shocked lol

Shige does look super fine tho! ^^

I watched the FNS performance just now on my mp3player & god , Masuda looks like a man to me now !

I always thought he looked like a little boy to me til he cut his hair :thud & seriously for a moment , he looked like my ex close friend a bit :S

ANYWAY ...

scans of the guys in the latest Jan issue of Wink Up , Duet & Potato - http://je-for8ver.livejournal.com/22...833509#t833509

I like the Potato shots the most outta the 3

ehhhhh the video link doesn't work anymore :grumpy
it looks like what (massu's new hair)?

here you go - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0kuTP1GwsY

I honestly like Masuda's new hairdo

I don't know for the rest of you guys

woooo (O_O)

that is...

nope I don't like his new hair :no

lol

then I'm probably the only 1 that likes it ? :shrug

cos way before that , I always see him as a little boy but after the FNS performance , phoar :thud

i like his hair, it' not as bad as i imagined it to be. but i'm still used to his previous hairstyle.

he's probably the only one that didn't change his hairstyle as much as the rest of the guys , except hair colour wise

it's a nice change for Masuda imo

or it's probably has to due with his upcoming new drama with Nakamaru (even though he looked like a dweeb now while Masuda looks fly now)

what does yamamoto yusuke look like, kaori? :lech

lol

so this means that I'm the only 1 that like Masuda's new hair :dead2

& erm who will be creating the new NEWS thread ? *wonders what fancy new title for a new thread* :innocent
