1 AMAZING BOND BETWEEN NEWS AND THE FANS
I believe that one of the reason why NEWS can still continue 'til now is because of that strong bond they have with the fans. They love the fans so much and they never get tired of expressing it... Seriously who would mention their fans from time to time on each interview and call them "girlfriends" and "wives", and made a song for us too! Fans are very much dedicated to them as well, that even if NEWS was not around for some time, even if they're only visible on magazines and few shows, they're still following them with full of love and support.
On the other hand, fans themselves have good relationship with each other. ♡ I know very well because almost all of my very close and intimate friends are from NEWS fandom. :) I guess, it's this bond that makes this fandom not just a fandom, but a HOME.
"We always work cherishing the fans more than anything else, we never feel lost about this. When we're uncertain we think about what will make the fans happier and this makes the decisions easier to take." - Koyama
"Fans experienced a lot of suffering with us, many people felt hurt too, but still they're supporting us, I'm so thankful for their strength and kindness. I want to cherish this relationship forever." - Masuda
"If the fans enjoy our flexibility, childishness and brightness I'm already happy." - Shige
"If I had the time I'd almost want to hold one by one all their hands. Moreover my feelings aren't limited to Japan, I also want to meet all the NEWS fans that support us from abroad." - Tegoshi
