MUSIC
Yamapi debuted with NEWS on 15th September 2003 with other 8 members, Keiichiro Koyama, Ryo Nishikido, Takahisa Masuda, Hiroki Uchi, Shigeaki Kato, Yuya Tegoshi and Takahiro Moriuchi. But Moriuchi left the group before year 2003 ended, heard rumour said that he got suspended after being caught of kissing a girl at a karaoke.
So there's only 8 members of NEWS, but as Ryo and Uchi are still in Kanjani8
also, sometimes NEWS performed with only 6 members ^^;;
update 01.04.2006 : sadly, JE announced that NEWS will have a break from group activities starting May 2006 after the Harucon. this is the effect after the underaged drinking scandals that Uchi and Kusano caused. so there won't be any future release until late of this year T_T
update 05.01.2007 : finally after 8 months on break, NEWS is back on Johnny's Countdown 2006/2007! sadly, only 6 members returned, but the good news Uchi and Kusano didn't quit JE and they are no longer suspended, they are back as trainees, and when the time is right and they are ready, they will deffo come back with 8 members! *fingers crossed*
