a bit off-topic, but NEWS only got the bastard stepchild treatment post-2009. Before that, they were the golden children, just like KAT-TUN. NEWS should be doing better now since Chankapana sold well., and they should do it the way Kanjani8 do stuff. K8 only managed to escape that treatment because they persevered and started selling well post-2008, on their own (and Teichiku's), without the actual support of the J&A's higher-ups (the only one who really supported them was Johnny). They were once the original bastard/red-headed stepchild.
I guess this is why it's good that Ryo has left the group. When he succeeded with NEWS (2003-2008), K8 got left in the dust (2008 before Dec was such a lonely year as a K8 fan!), and when K8 succeeded more than NEWS, NEWS got left in the dust.
I'm sure Johnny-san actually has someone trained well enough to handle the company in case of his demise. I think this article is hilarious, but it would be nice if his niece could have some part in the company her uncle built.
