On Monday 6 October 2014, News will have a special variety show called 4x9! At this stage, it is being billed as a special one off show, but we all hope that there will be more episodes. Please read on for the best ways to show your support!
The Show:
4x9 (よんたいきゅう) (in romaji: yontaikyuu) is a variety show airing on NTV, Monday 6 October 2014, starting from 23:59.
The show will feature all four News members interacting via the internet with 9 other people. (This explains the 4x9 title).
Hopefully the show will be funny, and bright, and very engaging. From the previews, it appears that the News members are dressed in handsome black suits. Definitely a show that News fans will want to watch! Check out http://www.ntv.co.jp/4tai9/

To promote 4x9, all News members will be appearing on other NTV shows during Monday 6 October, as follows:
Zip-Koyama
