It's weird, but after having used my Jin icon so much for a while there, I've missed using it so much the last few weeks now that NEWS are back...
"The Shounen Club" (20 Feb, 2005) Theme: Mirai (the future) - full episode
Length: 52 mins 54 secs
Size: 380 MB
Starring: KAT-TUN, NEWS (with 8 members), San Kyoudai (3 members of Kanjani8), Ya-Ya-yah, Johnnys Jr, Takizawa Hideaki
Highlights: This episode is one of those ones from the time when I thought KAT-TUN were total jerks. They may not like the other members in their own group much, but they certainly seem to love themselves! No wonder I fell harder for NEWS who seem so shy compared to the "I am the hottest thing to walk this planet" attitude that KAT-TUN were going for at this age. And sorry dear Jin, but your screeching during "GOLD" makes me wonder if you're not secretly really a girl!! NEWS were cute when the audience laughed at Massu's dream, but the NEWS members were fully supportive of him. And Ryo made me laugh with his cliched response. I also have a particular fondness for NEWS's costumes that were obviously created by a fan of the making-clothing-from-curtains scene from "Sound Of Music." I'm fairly sure their curtains costumes would rank in my top three for worst Johnny's outfits ever. Also, this has bugged me everytime I've watched this episode, but why was Shoon reading the letter when he obviously hadn't written one? Couldn't they have swapped and got someone else to read one? This is also the episode where Inoo Kei goes to interview Tackey (but really it ends up more like Tackey interviewing Inoo!)

* Bonus Clip *
"The Shounen Club" (3 May, 2009) Tackey talk & 2 performances
Length: 6 mins 38 secs
Size: 70 MB
Starring: Takizawa Hideaki (supposedly from Tackey & Tsubasa but I think that group is more dead than NEWS was for the first few months of this year!), Koyama Keiichiro (NEWS), Nakamaru Yuichi (KAT-TUN)
Highlights: I feel obligated to watch Tackey every now and then to try to regain my love for him. This clip seemed to help a bit. I thought the "Mugen no Hane" song that he'd written & composed was a bit cliche (although there were a few nice lines of lyrics in it) but it was his other song that seems to now be stuck in my head. There was one line that talks about a girl at a bar looking like she's going for "take-out" that night that I thought was brilliant! It seemed a great way to explain the way someone looks when they're trying to find a one-night-stand. Is it mean for me to add one last highlight being how Tackey seemed to direct all his talk to Koyama & ignore Nakamaru the entire time?! Poor Nakamaru...

And thank you to everyone who replied when I asked how best to rearrange my index of subbed clips. I ended up deciding to do it by year. If people want to search by show or by group, then they can use the wonderfully amazing JE-index ^.^
