Bias: Koyama!!! (true husband) Goods idea: Well, first of all, I'm going to be really mad and confused if the penlight isn't triangle shaped. 10ve tour was a square, White tour was a heart, so it only makes sense that the next one will be a triangle, right? I think it's very unique that NEWS has members colors in addition to shapes, and I want them to use that concept in more of their things, not just the NEWS album/10ve era.
I love having things that I can use practically, so why not backpack/rucksack, or a messenger bag? Like ones you can use for school. The concert tote bags have gone up in quality and they are nice but how many giant bags with one compartment does one person really need? I think some sort of purse or backpack would be a great concert good since it's really useful too, and the design ideas are quite limitless.
Another thing I think would be really popular are socks. They'd be easy to make and it's something quite literally everyone can use. (Everyone other than Koyama. Or maybe he'll actually wear socks if they were NEWS concert goods.) Or even things like pens or letter sets. Or photo albums for shop pictures/concert photo sets? These are all kind of boring but super practical and easy.
As a silly idea, I want them to make sunglasses in the shapes and colors of each member, I think that's pretty doable. It would be really popular too with the current fashion scene in Japan. I see someone mentioned dakimakura. I agree. I think we all want that. But I don't think it's going to happen, because JE cares about their image a lot and making those might send the wrong image. I do want hangers though, like they had for RUSS-K and like Hey! Say! JUMP had for their 7-11 lottery thing. I think that'd be really popular, I'd but like, 50!
This is sort of a concert goods idea, but it has to do with the pamphlet. They used to have different styles of book bindings on their pamphlets, but since 4nin era started, they've all been the same sized, normal books. The print, paper, and binding quality is great (the embossing on the White pamphlet is so HNNGG), but I can't help but think it's pretty boring too. I want to see more creative things done with the "usual set" of concert goods.
I'm anticipating: We haven't even seen the covers for the QUARTETTO album yet, so who knows what the image and style of this album/tour is gonna be? I'm really looking forward to it! Massu and Koyama's solo titles were updated, but I don't think they tell us too much about the songs. Koyama's sounds kind of like a Romeo-type song with Love Addiction-esque lyrics/theme, maybe? I'm not sure about Massu's but it could be abother EDM-clubby song since he's pretty into that. I can't wait to hear all the new tracks on the album.
On the other hand. I've been waiting for the White DVD for forever - ever since I went to the Osaka show on Koyama's birthday( I KNOW!!! I'm still screaming about it). The concert footage on the DVD is definitely going to be the Tokyo Dome tour final, but I'm really excited to see the MCs and digest of the other shows, especially the Osaka one! I'm also wondering what the solo PVs will be like, they're really teasing us too much.
((Thanks, Shy, for hosting this!! I'm not doing this just to win, I think it was a really fun prompt. It's really interesting to see what everyone says!!))
