[NEWS] / [テゴマス] The 19th ～BE FUNKY!～

[KarenPang]

NEWS will be performing later at 6pm Japan time , again at the Kyocera Dome & also tomorrow (even though it's a public holiday in Japan :O)

hopefully the setlist for today will differ slightly . I don't know if they will include older works but it will be nice if they choose to do that

[dreamland2.0]

Lovely setlist!!!!

[Utena]

Mmmh finally listened to the album, but I didn't really enjoy it that much compared to Color and pacific.
It was a pain to listen the first part till 秋の空 came one. that's a nice song. The following song is also quite nice. Dancin' in the Secret is the highlight of this album so far.
D.T.F is weird. Their singing on 内容の無い手紙 is so damn weird or is it just me? Too bad coz it sounded quite nice... o/

エンドレス・サマー was still ok, Share is still really pretty! And the uplugged version for Forever sounds much better than the studio version, definitly.

That said, I'm not as much into NEWS as I was before so I don't really know.
I still think they should have added a second disc with some solos/duets/trios like they used to do.

From the site, and translated with Google translate, Wake Up is a continuation of FLY AGAIN from color. But Google translate is a bit ambiguous when it comes to the translation for the second statement. Anyone care to translate this? :

｢Fighting Man｣をメンバーのハーモニーラインのみで構成した“NEWSと歌えるカラオケ音源”

This is the translation I got:

"Fighting Man" was composed only of members of the Harmony line "NEWS instruments and sing karaoke"

which probably means umm. NEWS singing a capella? A clearer translation would be appreciated though.

-EDIT-

First post updated and I created a Jpop Stop! page for Fighting Man already.

-EDIT AGAIN-

And about the "｢Fighting Man｣をメンバーのハーモニーラインのみで構成した“NEWSと歌えるカラオケ音源”" thing, it is said that NEWS's voice will be inside for the harmony parts so it will feel like you're singing with them. And did you guys realise that Wake Up was in the initial leaked tracklist of LIVE?

[KarenPang]

I did remembered seeing Wake Up on the tracklist of LIVE before it got replaced

I think there's a reason as to why they decided to slot it as B-side material in Fighting Man

well I will find out why soon x)

[dreamland2.0]

ooo yay!! Can't wait to hear all the songs!
