HAPPY 10th ANNIVERSARY NEWS!!
It's really lame that I couldn't make a proper post for their anniversary. (blame the fact that I don't have my laptop with me *sobs*). Anyway, I would still make an effort to post something for them (*^^)v
It's not been so long since I've known this four-member group called NEWS. In fact, I've knew them through my friends who once invited me to make a cover for their song "Fighting Man". Back then, I had no idea who they were, what they're capable of. I never expected that these guys who doesn't even know that I exist, would change my life. As soon as my friends introduced me to them through their songs, I was instantly hooked. I love their style, their harmonization and even their choreos. I instantly fell in love with Tegoshi Yuya, the youngest. He was quirky, childish, has that amazing powerful voice and not to mention his good looks. Since then, I began researching about them: downloading their full discography, videos I could find and even read stuffs about them. Through this, I began to know them more and more and at the same time, fell in love with the group even more. Back then NEWS was still a 6-member group and I thought they were perfect. I thought nothing could ever beat this tandem. They entertained me to the core.
When I finally knew what happened to the group, how they struggle from the start, how awkward it was for some of the members and how hard for their ego to accept what happened. I realized how amazing they were despite what happened. Instead of thinking for themselves, they thought of their fans. The thought of not seeing them again and performing in front of them made it harder to accept. And although I was a new fan and barely knew them compared to the fans who supported far beyond what I can imagined, I also felt hurt. Sometimes when I watched their past videos, I wanted to ask Ryo and Yamapi what went wrong. If in those days that they were still with NEWS, were they truly happy? But I realized that there's no one to blame for. People changed, people moved on.
For the first time in my life, I was brought into tears because of NEWS. Reading their real thoughts about what happened made me realized how much they really cared and loved their fans. I realized it's not only because all of them are talented in their craft, that they make me happy whenever I'm down, that they are no doubt attractive people that I fell in love with them. The real reason was they inspired me that nothing is impossible as long as you stand for it. Dreams do come true.
I want to express my deepest gratitude to these four members, Koyama Keiichiro for being a good-hearted leader and friend and the epitome of a gentleman. Kato Shigeaki, the man who finally realized to love himself after all those struggles,.for keeping your head high and for not giving up. Masuda Takahisa, the bundle of joy, the one who thinks what's best for the group. Lastly, Tegoshi Yuya, the charming prince, thank you for keeping NEWS strong and stronger because of your will, thank you for moving forward and be the voice of NEWS.
The four of you might not reach it but I am forever grateful that you came into my life. Thank you for the wonderful years. You guys are awesome as you are. Happy 10th A
