yeah, i kinda lost love for Pi as well. i don't have a specific problem with him, but the appeal for him just died down. i don't think he's a great actor, a great singer, nor does he have the greatest personlity. just mediocre? well, this is my opinion of course. i still appreciate the guy a whole ton. i mean, he's freaking Kusano Akira, lol.
i used to love him alot, but eh, now my focus has shifted to other Johnny's, i guess.
LOLZ, Tegoshi. he's like, my least fave in NEWS, sowwie to say. actually, the only member i truly appreciate is like, Ryo. and i like Ryo better in K8, wot. :O
BUT. i can't wait for the album. i got a good feeling about it.

despite my rants about the members individually, i like the music nevertheless, LOL.
