 I was just wondering whether or not NEWS or any of the members have ever written/sang a ballad before.

This is a brief meaning of the word ballad.  Taken from wiki.

The type of ballad I'm looking for is different though. ^^ 
It should tell a story (doesn't matter how long or how short) and it has to deal with a social issue that is debatable (eg, political isssues - racism, enviormental issues - global warming)

I thought ballads were, in a nutshell, love/romance songs with a slow beat. Are you sure you're not looking for a different type of music? If we're going with the romantic song = ballad, then NEWS has tons of ballads. =P Maybe you mean Protest Songs (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protest_song)? I don't think NEWS has done a protest song in their careers. xP

The only Johnnys band that sang something related to social issues (?) was J-FRIENDS. I'm not sure if they had any ballads, though.

I am sure there is a ballad version of Miso Soup, it tells a story... but it does not relate to social issues o.o

I don't think NEWS actually have any song that talks about stuff like that. They are all either "WTF" or "HOMG CUTE." You know. XD
