I would say nothing in a way .
Compared to their senpai ARASHI & koukai KAT-TUN , NEWS's selling power's the least if you compare all 3 bands side by side together which's quite unfortunate
it kinda don't help matters that Ryo Nishikido's the only Johnny juggling 2 bands back to back which's so hard on him

seriously no other jpop female solo artiste has accomplished what has ayumi done in the 21st century , it's going to be hard for her to 'find' a successor of sorts

that's the thing , they don't have a variety show , they're probably the only group that doesn't have 1 in Johnny's
heck even Kanjani8 has their own one which started last year but not NEWS which's real fishy
I think their popularity & sales will be higher should they have 1 & ehhh you don't count Ryusei no Kizuna in the mix ?
Ryo was in the show so
That goes for RESCUE too which ended recently & Masuda acted on the show with KAT-TUN's Nakamaru
