Masuda Takahisa no Marumaru (23 Oct)
- Masuda Takahisa no Shokura
- He wrote asking if everyone watched Shonen Club Premium, and that it was fun to have Nakamaru guesting, singing rock, and dancing “Akaku Moyuru Taiyou”. He also thanked Tegoshi for the sumo shoot. At the end, he said that the next premium show will be produced by one of the members too. He didn’t say which member it would be, but ended off by saying he’s been having a lot of meetings recently for the premium show.

NEWS Ring (25 Oct)
- It was Massu’s turn to update.
- He asked if everyone was okay from the rain a while back. After the typhoon left, the sky was so amazingly blue that it was as if the typhoon never happened (NOTE: Japan was hit with a pretty strong typhoon at the beginning of the week). The difference in temperature might be a result of global warming, and he hopes to lead a life that is more environmentally friendly. For the word chain, he chose “Keirei na Nihongo” (beautiful Japanese). He doesn’t mean to have to use difficult words, but he does hope to always speak proper Japanese in a nice voice, without talking bad about people or cursing. Rather than being extreme, it’s probably better to lead an ordinary life and use clean language with gentle thoughts.

KEIICHIRO (27 Oct)
- He asked if everyone watched Halloween Ongakusai, and said how it’s interesting that what the members want to do never overlaps. They didn’t have any meetings to decide on their costumes and decided separately. He wanted to be both a witch and cat so he decided to do both. He also said how Tama was a beauty and shared a photo of the stage. He ended off promoting Ep2 of “Juyo Sankonin Tantei” that night and asked everyone to do the same thing at the same time again

Masuda Takahisa no Marumaru (27 Oct)
- Masuda Takahisa no Kasou
- He asked if everyone watched CDTV Halloween Special. He also said that he gave the order for Abi-kun to the stylist when he thought he found something nice. It was perfect as it seems no one has done Abi-kun yet. It was also a good range for NEWS, because everyone just dressed up as whatever they wanted to. He also shared how a man in suit told him, when he was walking in Harajuku the day before, that he watched CDTV and that Massu’s costume was fun. He ended off saying he’s happy and asked if there might be a live-action version of Abi-kun.

Setsunarutsubuyaki (27 Oct)
- Shige was mentioned in Fuma’s entry, although there wasn’t a direct name mention. He posted a photo of Shige’s name plate as well as some of his books off a shelf at a bookstore, saying that he thought Shige was amazing when he finds his books lined up on the shelves like this. He felt happy for some reason, and automatically took a photo. He also mentioned that “Green Mile” was great too.

KEIICHIRO (28 Oct)
- He asked if everyone had watched the previous day’s broadcast of the drama. He said they’re filming the third episode and he’d rest a little during the break on the bed. The towel that smells of his home heals him. He ended off saying he’ll be heading off for a day of filming and a photo of QUARTETTO’s towel on top of a pillow, with his character’s glasses above it.

Masuda Takahisa no Marumaru (29 Oct)
- Masuda Takahisa no Shinsen na hanashi (fresh news)
- It was a simple entry where he wrote that he bought A/W clothes like down and all that. It’s finally the season where he can have fun with clothes, so he’d like to dress up and go somewhere. Except it’s raining… please take care not to catch the cold!
