New Johnny's unit on the horizon?
So I'm sitting here jamming to this for, like, the 80th time today, when this little gem of a story pops up.
The good people at Toyko Sports are reporting that a new Johnny's unit is gearing up to steal your fangirl/boy hearts. And, no, I'm not talking about Sexy Zone.
With the recent withdrawal of Yamapi and Ryo from NEWS and the long ago departure of Akanishi from KAT-TUN, a new, unit will be formed with the remaining members of both groups.
I'll give you a moment.
We good? Ok.
Apparently, they have already met to exchange ideas and work out what activities they'll be doing. An insider stated Kamenashi and Tegoshi are representing their respective groups and are moving forward with their discussion.
Hm, why Tegoshi?
Anyway, here's the deal:
1) The unit will only last from December to March
2) They will release 1 single
I assume the single will have 10 versions -- 1 with a group cover and then 9 individual ones with a bunch of different b-sides to drive you insane. Maybe they'll throw in an 11th version with a DVD for extra trolling.
So what are they going to call themselves? The Leftovers? Well, at the moment "KAT-TUN & NEWS" is the strongest contender. Some unnamed music producer said a lot of group names were suggested at first, but they all talked about it and finally decided to go with something simple.
KAT-TUN & NEWS just might be making their first appearance on December 31st! No, not on the Countdown! On Kouhaku! The unnamed music producer went on to say, "I heard they're secretly planning to make the group the highlight of Kouhaku. There's also word Fuji TV will begin airing the "KAT-TUN & NEWS" show in January."
Will K&N be a success? Could they put a dent in Arashi and Kanjani8's popularity? Will Pi continue on solo in search of a foreign star to collab with just like his bffs? We will see.
As I said, it is Tokyo Sports, so I wouldn't put any money on it happening, but it's an interesting thought.
