• NEWSRING (May 23)

  
  
  

  • It was Koyama’s turn to update

  
  

  • He wrote about how the tour was over and though he’s sad he’s also glad his health held up throughout it. He also talked about having meetings for the 15th Anniversary concerts.

  
  



• Masuda Takahisa no Marumaru (May 26)

  
  
  

  • Masuda Takahisa no Arigatou

  
  

  • He apologised for not having been able to update in detail for Hiroshima, Osaka, Nagoya and Saitama, but he was happy at each venue and thanked everyone.
    
    
    He wrote about how it’s another album + tour with a strong concept, and while there were uncertainties about how everyone would receive it, everyone’s smiles and voices gave him confidence. The Juniors and staff cried again after the Saitama concerts ended and he said he’s glad the people supporting them behind-the-scenes enjoyed the process too. It’s as important as making the concerts enjoyable for the audience.
    
    
    He also talked about the surprise at the last concert and that he was touched, and thanked everyone’s cooperation with the non-official penlights. It’s not just his opinion, but that of the other members and staff too, so thank you.
    
    
    He’s starting to get summer fatigue and hopes it won’t get too hot this year.
    
    
    He thanked everyone again at the end of the entry for the arena tour.

He also said that Tegoshi was handsome and cute, that he fell for him when he told him to have fun with a smile on his face.
    
    
    He said that U R not alone is a really good song and it made him feel like he was going to cry. He talked about the concert with Suezawa Seiya (Kansai Johnny’s Jr) about it he said the same thing. He said he wanted to sing it sometime.
