Popolo 11.2013 - NEWS After party
Tour Case Files: 10 memories from the tour
SHIGE
1. I think I was framed in Fukuoka. We went all together to the beach along with the Juniors. I didn't have swimming trunks, neither did the Juniors. So Koyama said "It's ok, Shige will buy some for you all~" ...I had to buy flip-flops and swimming trunks for everybody, it costed a lot.
2. Sendai was so hot~ After eating Hiyashi Chuuka with the staff we went to Sendai's castle. We saw everything like proper tourists, we did the Omikuji and mine said "Great luck"! Maybe the tour was successful thanks to this.
3. Coming back from Fukuoka I witnessed something: Tegoshi...hugged Koyama and the two slept together all comfy like that. Koyama tried to refuse him but he looked very happy instead, Tegoshi was like a little kid. Observing this sleeping couple I fell asleep as well.
4. This tour was so happy I was very excited↑ Because of that when I was riding and moving on the truck I fell from the stairs (+o+). I tried to play it cool since I was in the middle of a crowd, I went down the stairs sitting straightly. My shiny outfit tore and got stained in blood.
5. Being 4 men all together is not always good~ The Date Masamune seal I bought at Sendai's castle was used so much. Tegoshi used it on his telephone, bag and he started playing using it in many different places in secret. When I came back home I opened my laptop and I found a Masamune-kun (lol).
6. Basically Tegoshi loves to wonder around in the dressing room all naked, we should be used to that already but he was awful this year! Not only after a shower, it was like he was always naked. We are almost used to him but what if a lady entered and saw that scene? Wouldn't she faint?
7. No matter how tired I am after a live, I always want to go out to eat the best food of the city. I was eating some delicious Udon when the waitress told me she was at the concert earlier. Whose fan was she?...I didn't ask (lol).
8. I came to Osaka and Nagoya before everyone else so I could enjoy the cities. At Osaka I went to watch Manzai with my friend from the staff. It was awesome. The theatre was completely full and excited. I had a great time and I laughed a lot.
9. At Osaka I also had the live radio show, I was very tired but I went out at night. I ate a great yakiniku, I was so hungry! It made me realize that I'm still young and I ate a lot of meat.
10. Like last year, we had a great sushi dinner in Hokkaido. There was a lot of Aozakana since it was Summer. Massu ate a lot, after all I couldn't catch up with him.
[Poor Shige he hurt himself TOT Why you didn't tell anybodyyyy~ Btw The emoji were in the original text. Tegoshi harassing members with his nudity again, good. All the rest is food :D]
TEGOSHI
1. I was so happy to eat Teppanyaki in Osaka! I finally understood the great taste of Shiitake mushrooms along with the meat. Maybe this is a proof of me becoming an adult. I also ate garlic rice, it was a great night.
2. I never went to eat out with Kouhais before, it was a first experience for me! I was quite nervous, I would have been good if the members were there too but I guess I was a little quiet instead. Anyway I could be my usually S-self!
3. During the lives I give all of myself without thinking, at the end I'm extremely tired. I went back to the hotel thinking of watching some TV but I just fell asleep. I often slept with TV and phone on, I was completely exhausted.
4. This year we had a big happening due to the heavy rain in Chichibu stadium. Fans were involved too, we were able to overcome it thanks to everybody's efforts, it made me realize once again the importance of fans. I will never forget those faces!
5. I relaxed myself walking in Sendai~♪ I had some free time in the morning so I went out for a walk. It was different from Tokyo, it felt so god. I discovered Sendai while greeting here and there the people in the streets.
6. My favorite baggage broke. It was fine during the travel but when I brought it in the dressing room the handle broke, it was a very pitiful scene. I'm thinking of getting it fixed.
7. After a live I went back to the dressing room and all the staff prepared a signed board! We were all so thankful towards the staff, it was thanks to them if we had great shows, but their messages all had the word "Thank you" in them, it moved me. I'm so glad to be in NEWS.
8. I got tanned, right? It's because I went to the beach in Fukuoka and Kobe. I had all ready and I looked forward to have fun, it was perfect. I got a tan, I played on the beach and enjoyed the Summer. I had fun and I appreciated the sea.
9. Since we move a lot during the tour I always try to eat my meals properly. I have rice or noodles and I eat a lot. The catering was delicious everywhere we went, I ate more than usual.
10. While we were going to a live our manager announced he's going to become a dad! We were all very happy. I thought I should sort a name for the baby but in the end I decided that's too big of a responsibility (lol).
[Omedetou mister manager! *O* No, don't let Tegoshi choose the name and possibly not come near the baby.]
MASSU
1. Before a tour we gather and share a lot of healthy products as vitamins and suppliments. Shige brought his Umeboshi (lol). I could try something I never tried before and we could give exchange advices.
2. This time the members agreed on my costumes' ideas since the beginning, I was so glad. But at the real show I saw Koyama wearing a stole over his ninja outfit I never saw before (lol). I don't know if it was a personal object or not...it made me so angry!
3. We always did stretching in the free time before a live, this time we even had a training room for ourselves. Shige bought us the mats. We could stretch perfectly! Shige, nice!!
4. I bought a lot of souvenirs in Hokkaido! Many people asked me the famous products of the place so I bought a lot~ My bag was so full.
5. It's not difficult for me to get ready to do sports. I don't change my shoes and pants so I just have to choose matching T-shirts and underwear. I don't wear many accessories. I can pack my bag in 10 minutes!
6. During the tour I almost always fall asleep in my hotel room without even changing clothes. The most of times I realize that I fell asleep in the middle of the night. I prepare myself to go to sleep only the 2% of times.
7. Once I was about to suffocate! This time the lives were really exhausting on a physical level. I breathed with a oxygen bottle and I felt better. I never understood the meaning of having those bottles, this time I finally got it (lol). I realized how great oxygen is.
8. Once during a flight trip we had the same cabin attendant at the leaving and return! We realized it and greeted her. It never happened to me before, I was really surprised. Seeing them working with a smile on their faces made me think that it's a wonderful job!
9. This time I chose my own sneakers for the tour, a pair was of the wrong number and the other pair got all worn-out. They really broke apart. I'm a little sad but thank you for your work!
10. What I wanted to eat the most was Nagoya's "Hitsumabushi". 10 people can eat with a big serving of it but I ate it all alone with Shige and Tegoshi! It was delicious~♪ It was before the live though, it wasn't a good idea for our stomaches (lol).
[Shige's really a nice guy ;w; Buying so many things! And Massu YOU BE CAREFUL with lack of oxygen >O<]
KOYAMA
1. Before the tour I searched all my accessories and chose which to bring with me, I decided to wear earrings after a long time! It felt nostalgic and nice, I think I will use them from time to time even after the tour.
2. I was sleeping in my hotel room when around 3am the room phone rang, I took the call but nobody talked. The phone rang again after a while, I tried to not get angry but this time I heard a "POO POO POOO!" I was sleeping so well...grow up, Tegoshi!!!
3. Between the two lives in Nagoya we ate "Hitsumabushi". I can't stand eels but the other 3 were so excited. I tried to eat it a little and it was good! Probably until now I didn't eat eels only out of habit~
4. This time on the first day of the tour I bleached my hair a little and added streaked extensions, I played a little with my hairstyle. I have fun doing that.
5. Basically Tegoshi, after a bath or in the dressing room, is always naked (lol). Once I was sleeping on the sofa and Tegoshi came like that hugging me from the back. I felt Tegoshi's Tegoshi and he stayed like that for 5 minutes...that's impossible~ (lol)
6. When Massu was singing "BE FUNKY!" I tightened his tanktop in the middle showing his nipples like a pro wrestler, when he finished singing he knocked me out with a Nelson. I realized I shouldn't have done that to him.
7. We had a training room this time, it had mats, dumbells, training goods. We used it to do stretching before the lives all together. Shige bought all those instruments for us, a real fair play!
8. As always I had to pay for everybody (lol) We went to conbini and everybody put random things in the cart. Massu for some reasons bought a folding fan, was it really necessary?! Well, it's ok if he uses it (lol).
9. Before the Fukuoka show we went to the beach with MADE kids. Anybody had swimming trunks so we bought a lot of beach stuff there. Shige did~♪ We thought we would be too busy with the tour to enjoy Summer, but we had a great time at the beach!
10. After Nagoya's live we had fireworks with the staff, almost 100 people. Lives involve so many people who are never showed! I realized this once again and it filled me with thankfulness. Eveybody did a NEWS call, it was the best!
[OMG TEGOSHI WHAT. This is just...too much X°D]

-Sure. Sometimes. But I won't tell it to Keichan!
From Massu: How many km can you run?
15~16km. I run a lot playing soccer, if you ad that it would be way more!
Maybe this was interesting for me because I never read concerts reports, but I think many of these things, especially the backstage, are new. I hope they are :D
Enjoy~
