Yamapi and Ryo withdraws from NEWS

O_othough being yamashita's friend, toma probably knew before this, but STILL!!!! such sad news!!! >_< i understand about ryo leaving to only be in kanjani8 cuz of conflicting schedules, but yamashita....*sigh*. i'm not really a fan of NEWS (and i'm not a fan of yamashita...), but i feel so sorry for NEWS fans. i hope the 4 of them that are left will be ok, but it's going to be so tough. =0

----------- i totally agree with this person...=T

I can see Ryo leaving
since he's so busy (K8, NEWS, dramas/othersolothings) they'd never be able to record anything or go on tour without him having schedule conflicts.

Yamapi is just :| rn w/e dude.

And NEWS will probably die...
Unless they come up with a magic way to stay popular and GOOD and actually RELEASE STUFF.
yupp.

--------- btw, some1 did mention toma in a comment there. geez. toma is not yamashita's replacement!! O_O

I love NEWS but now that they are 4, they seem.. balanced. In terms of their character :D
Now if only Johnny can throw Toma in.. That way it won't seem too much like "Tegomass and the slightly insignificant KoyaShige".

Shige and Koya are my favourite members in NEWS btw.

I got to say I wasn't surprised. I had a feeling for the past several months now that one of this days, Pi will leave, I just didn't expect Ryo to do so. Well, at least not on the same day. Let's admit it, Pi and Ryo are total crowd drawers and I won't blame Ryo for leaving if Pi did. I, however am happy about Ryo's reason for leaving. It is valid.

It might not be too late for Toma to belong in a group but I don't like the idea of him being a replacement. He is, more than that. Way more than that. He is doing well on his own now so I prefer him that way. Our Toma did what he can to be where he is now and that's enough.

I'm rooting for the new NEWS still (even if I'm not a fan in the first place since I like them as individual not as a group). :)

*that news on Tomas birthday was O.o? what was that?

even though everyone knew it was coming, but it's still sad now that it's official. >_< some ppl are saying they prefer NEWS without ryo and pi though. lol....

Well they do seem balanced now. :3

i don't want toma to join as a replacement, that would be terrible! :x honestly, i'm not even sure he's interested anymore, is he? he loves acting so much and his career is getting huge now. but whatever he decided, i'd support him. :)

right! and i don't think toma's interested in a singing career anymore. i mean, if he misses singing and dancing, he can still do it in his butai's sometimes...

I don't like the sound of "replacement". :3 What he's doing now is fine. His career is at a boom now without him in a group so yeah~ whatever he decides, I'm there. :)
