HSJ gets a new show, leaving NEWS behind in the dust to rot away in their non tv show hosting hell. Sorry for any mistranslations (I only translate shit that has K8 mentioned in it :P)
Sorry for any mistranslationsStarting in April, Hey!Say!Jump's new show " School Revolution " (School Kakumei! - Tenative title) will start. Currently they already have a show titled " Shouwa x Heisei ~ SHOW wa Hey! Say! " that they're regulars in win which they arrive on set " Dressed in school uniforms that JUMP's members on a classroom set (makes girls go) wai wai ". " Shouwa x Heisei " only has Yamada, Nakajima, and Morimoto as regulars but fans hope and ask, " Will all of the members star in this one this time? ". Again, from the end of last year into this year, they were on concert and again in March Hey!Say!7 will go on another Spring concert tour. Its suddenly a sign that they're getting busy. Even so, they are a group that manages to grab a hole of larg activities and complex situations and deal with them.
" Since the annoucement of this new show, NEWS' has not had a variety. Because of that, I did not really expect them to get one this time around. It's to be expected " ( A NEWS Fan )
Right now, out of the debut groups to have varieties that we know are: SMAP = 1, TOKIO = 2, V6 = 2, Kinki Kids = 1 , ARASHI = 3, KAT-TUN = 1, Kanjani8 = 2 (These are shows that have all members appear in them). Starting in the spring, Hey!Say!Jump's new show will put them ahead of the strong NEWS (who does not have a variety).
" Because NEWS doesn't have a regular variety show, there's been a big sound of disatisfacation from their fans. Usually with Johnny's, 1 to 2 years into a debut, sometimes after 3, there's usually a television show. Despite that, since NEWS' debut in 2003, following their scandals, and their temporary hiatus; the group seem to have caught onto a bad timing. " (A Johnny's Watcher)
Currently the only debuted groups not to have a television show is NEWS and Tackey & Tsubasa. Though, even if you were to line them up, either one of them doesn't have much of a pressence.... An ordinary person could definitely point out who stars in successful varities like SMAP, TOKIO, and V6. Despite this, NEWS' fans diligently wait for the day that the group will get their own show.
