Generic might be the wrong word. But their songs sound like something other Johnny's could sing, too. Any unit has such songs, though. I know and understand that 50% of JUMP is really young, but they managed to release "Your Seed", so why not stick to such songs?

I feel kinda bad for NEWS. It seems as if they were put together for the volleyball theme, without much concept behind it. Maybe because JE didn't have anyone else to sing the theme? Kanjani8 are Kansai Johnny's, so that's probably why they wouldn't get the theme.
I agree. It's just a shame that NEWS has to release such generic songs :| Their Hoshi wo Mezashite/WeeeeK/Taiyou no Namida era was really cool, but since then their musics are getting worse.

And about HSJ, i think they're in the right way. I mean, they are releasing both child-ish songs and "mature" songs, so both public will be satisfied. Children are a big part of their public, so it's important to make songs for them, i guess. Just as happened with SMAP and Arashi, as they and their fans grow up, their music will be more and more adult-ish(?).

BTW, i like some child-ish songs by them. Star time is such a great song.
