Not really. Every band has downtime while it's members do individual activities.

Maybe we should stop waiting for a tell-all carryng the name and the form of a tell-all and start reading Shige's novel instead.
Every time I hear about his novels, I get the feeling he's maybe the master of fanfic. Too bad I cannot read it and see for myself.

Has anyone here read his work ? Is he a good writer ? I mean quality-wise ?

Read the first two, mainly because got them very cheap as a package.

Nothing earth shattering, tbh.
He writes ok, and the plots are pretty ok (even if pretty shallow most of the time). Have read much better, have read worse. It's kinda like reading luke-warm fanfiction or young adult-novels with some insight (both books had some good takes on Japanese entertainment world, which I feel safe to say, is expected and as this has largely the same setting...)
... take it how you will :p

Somehow it feels like he's publishing stories loosely based on his own experiences from the start.

Good for him though, News barely exists these days.

All Johnny's bands have downtime while the members are doing other activities (dramas for example). At the moment Tegomass are promoting their new album, Koyama's newscaster job has just gone up and Shige is promoting his new book. This happened last year and the year before, but they still managed to release an album and do a tour. Just because they don't spend every waking second promoting NEWS it doesn't mean they've gone anywhere.

Yes I know each member are currently busy with their own activities, I just wish they do more as 4-nin NEWS.
This is just my opinion but I think NEWS still have to work harder on establishing their group image/presence/whatever I'm not sure how to word it, instead of focusing too much with Tegomass and solo activities. The homebase is not strong enough yet.
Sorry for weird English.
