haha, you're not bugging me at all. I agree with you, when you say LESS is not WORSE. I think we've seen various concepts and songs through NEWS over the years that show their various charm. I don't know SO much about the other Johnny bands, but I'll take your word (and some others that I've read) for it. It seems that the jimusho really really wants financial gain at the moment, therefore it can't be helped that these other bands are releasing below-par music.
I'm all down with the economical issues that Johnny's Ent. may be having at the moment, and yes NEWS concerts are expensive, I just don't understand the exposure side of things for them, there are easily so many things one can do to promote a band and keeping it cost effective (Free hugs in Shibuya?? LOL). I wonder why they haven't done this from the time of their comeback.
With Yamapi being on Heyx3, I guess I was just hurt to see Yamapi continuing on alone (to what it seems like promoting another single). So naturally him being tied in as the leader of a group, I questioned why he wouldn't also do something about everyone else. However as you pointed out, Johnny's leaders aren't known for their leadership, so there goes my train of thought! In the end, solo work is good, but I guess I prefer them working as a group, rather than individually. I hope that their popularity can be compared to Arashi's one day. But for now,I guess waiting won't hurt.
Oh god, I've written so much today, I would fall over laughing if a sudden annoucement of some kind of NEWS activity were to be announced tomorrow :P Wishful thinking indeed!~
