So there was this page in 2015.02 TV Navi where various Johnnys had to answer the question “Who was the coolest Johnnys you’ve seen in 2014?” Koyama said Massu in his butai, Shige said Matsumoto Jun on set of Shitsuren Chocolatier, Massu said TOKIO in concert. And then there was this shit.
“I think the last time I went to a Johnnys concert was in 2008 for Kanjani8. Since then I haven’t gone to any. But I always watch the TV show "ItteQ” I appear in. …So I guess then the cool one is me as seen in ItteQ? (laugh) Yes, let it be so, please.“
The first month of 2015 will
soon be over in a flash. I wonder if
you’ve already heard our new song “KAGUYA” that was released in the new year?
It’s a fantasy song with Princess Kaguya’s story as a motif. Since it’s
also a love song, it’s a number that I would definitely like women to hear. I
think it’s really great that we could start off 2015 with a dash by releasing a
single in the new year. I hope we can continue at this pace and have four or
five releases this year!
Last year NEWS was filled with individual activities. It’s also good to
polish our skills through individual activities and have them reflected in the
group, but we’ve already been active as a group for over ten years. By this
kind of meaning, I think that if we don’t move as a group, no matter how much
we move individually we won’t grow as a group. We should do individual
activities as something extra only after properly doing group activities. All
of us agree that we want to treasure NEWS as a group, and those who only want
to do individual work are probably already gone from the group.
Anyway, in 2015 we want to do activities as NEWS with all of our strength.
