NEWS is an eight-member Japanese boyband, consisting of Yamashita Tomohisa (9th April 1985), Nishikido Ryo (3rd November 1984), Koyama Keiichiro (1st May 1984), Kato Shigeaki (11th July 1987), Kusano Hironori (15th February 1988), Masuda Takahisa (4th July 1986), Tegoshi Yuya (11th November 1987) and Uchi Hiroki (10th September 1986). The group began with nine members, but Moriuchi Takahiro left just before the release of their major debut single Kibou ~Yell~, reportedly because of family issues.
As of May 2006, NEWS is currently on a temporary hiatus, due to Kusano and Uchi getting suspended from Johnny's Entertrainment for underage drinking. The other members of the group, however, are currently persuing solo projects and won't be officially called NEWS again until early 2007.
