NEWS The Television 1/10
The year is ending soon so NEWS is looking back on 2009~ Again, they talk about their tour and “24 hour TV”. It seems like they feel a bit unhappy with 24 Hour TV this year so they want to do it again another year~ And talk about “soukon” brings up how Yamapi and Ryo should join and, of course, Koyama never fails to bring up something to tease Shige with, and Koyama makes up a new word; “Tego-Kira~” lol There’s also a bit at the end where NEWS talk about things that they keep because they just can’t throw out~
A concert tour, “24 hour TV”, 2009 was a complete year!
NEWS, who started ’09 with their tour that had began the year before. With the number of total people coming to watch being an incredible 560,000 people!
Yamapi: It’s a really an amazing thing. Because, usually even in someone’s whole life, they wouldn’t get to meet 560,000 people right? (laugh)
Shige: That’s true. And we were able to experience having the New Years Eve concert and it felt like we were fully able to feel the grandness of Kinki Kids.
Ryo: The beginning of the new year and the end of the old year was really busy. It was so busy that I don’t really remember any of it~ (laugh)
Tegoshi: I clearly remember me dressing up as a high school girl (laugh) I was glad that people enjoyed themselves while leaving aside whether it suited me or not.
Koyama: All the members went out to eat as well. For me, that was fun!
Massu: That’s true, concerts are where we can truly communicate with the members. It’s a very important time for us.
Also, in 2009 you had activities as the main personalities of “24 hour TV”
Massu: After I finished my synchronised swimming we had to sing a NEWS song. I had to get out of the pool and get into the car while I was still soaked! In the end, I had to dry my hair with a towel, it was that busy.
Koyama: Even with that wasn’t it pretty close?
Massu: If we were 30 seconds later, we wouldn’t have made it to the place!
Tegoshi: That was quite dangerous~
Koyama: Nothing like that happened to me but before the actual show even stated I was overcome with emotion and cried (laugh)
Shige: That was fast~ Wasn’t it during Ryo-chan’s drama when everyone cried? I cried quite a lot for that.
Yamapi: I held in my tears (laugh)
Ryo: Is that so. And then, speaking of being moved, when Tegoshi hugged mayuge-san* at the goal. (*Mayuge= eyebrows)
Tegoshi: Imoto (Ayako) right? (laugh)
Ryo: It was really something. If I was offered to do the marathon. . . . it probably would have crushed me ♥ (Said in a cute way)
Tegoshi: Hahaha (laugh) But, Imoto really was great. I was moved while supporting her. She didn’t make it in time though.
Ryo: Yeah, I was surprised thinking “She really didn’t make it in time!?”. . .But, umm, rather than that this time we caused all of you trouble and made you worry. I want to try “24 hour TV” again someday
Yamapi: Including the rehearsals, it was 48 hours without sleep, which was pretty tough.
Koyama: Well, a lot of things happened but it was a good experience!
Massu: You concluded it well (laugh)
We want Yamashita-kun and Nishikido-kun to appear in “soukon” too (laugh)
2009 was also busy with many individual activities such as stage plays, dramas and solo concerts. Something you want to challenge in 2010 is?
Shige: Ah, I definitely want Yamashita-kun and Nishikido-kun to come to “soukon”!
Ryo: Ahh, I see, I want to be in it too! But I’m bad at marathons though
Yamapi: I’m bad at them too
Koyama: No, it’s fine! Because we already have someone like Kato-san, who’s running is completely bad (laugh)
Everyone: (laugh)
Shige: But Yamashita-kun, you’ve done a half marathon before haven’t you?
Yamapi: Ah, I have. I did it when I was in elementary school. Ryo-chan also ran it didn’t you?
Ryo: Was it in Hawaii? Ah~ I did run in it. We ran it for a show in our junior days called “8ji da J”.
Yamapi: Maru (From Kanjani8) came first didn’t he? (laugh)
Ryo: I came like second last or something
Shige: But I think just that you ran the race is pretty great though.
Ryo: Ok, then I’ll try my best do that I can overtake Shige~
Yamapi: Me too then~
Shige: It’s not a show where we have to try and overtake each other
Ryo + Yamapi: Ok (laugh)
In 2010 “Tego-kira” will be powerful!?”
Koyama: But, in 2009 we did a lot of individual activities so I want to leave something that we’ve done as the 6 of us in 2010.
Massu: That’s right~ I want to put together everything we’ve tried our best to do in ’09 and make one big thing in ’10!
Tegoshi: Because when we’re together a very power is born right
Koyama: That’s right. For example, in “Dream Boys” Tegoshi was really shinning (Kira kira) so that “Tego-Kira” will become power.
Tegoshi: What is “Tego-Kira” actually? (laugh)
Massu: Either way, I definitely want to have a concert tour.
Yamapi: That’s right~ I want a lot of people to come again.
Shige: 2009’s NEWS started with a concert so I want to try my best for a concert in 2010!
Ryo: That’s right
Tegoshi: “The show must go on”! (*said in english lol)
Koyama: Oh! You said a good thing there (laugh)

Treasures from home! My tiger child item!
Yamapi
I think that I always wanted to keep my certificates and trophies. In my 5th year of elementary school I was runner up in a karate tournament and I still have the medal that I won there in my desk draw.
- - -
Koyama
As expected, the glove which I used everyday for the 8 years that I played baseball. It kind of smells now though (laugh) But it’s soft and it’s easy to catch things with.

Ryo
I don’t really have things that I think that I can’t throw away~ I throw most of my things away. Things that I think I need and won’t throw away are probably things like my graduation album and stuff. Everyone keeps their albums right.
- - -
Shige
I don’t throw away scripts. I look at it so I can remember a staff person’s name if we end up working together at the same place again (laugh) But I also re-read them sometimes so I can look back on the production
- - -
Massu
My mini 4-wheel-drives. I used them when I was in elementary school but even know I haven’t thrown them out and they’re still at home. It’s a toy that reminds me of my childhood. Mini 4-wheel-drives aren’t popular again are they~ (laugh)
- - -
Tegoshi
Things like my Kamen Rider figure. And my Sailor Moon videos (laugh) I have all the anime that I watched in kindergarten on video. So, I think that I still have them now.

I would love to see Ryo and Yamapi join in on Soukon :D And them all wanting to be on soukon just shows how much they all want a show together, and we all want one too~
Hope you guys enjoyed these crosstalks :D They were fun to translate~
