Koyama Keiichiro talks NEWS' fresh start

11 Oct – NEWS member Koyama Keiichiro appeared on "News Every", a Japanese live show, at which he shared his thoughts on the group's fresh start. This is the first time for any NEWS member to speak live after Yamashita Tomohisa and Nishikido Ryo's withdrawal from the group, according to a report on Tokyo Hive's website.

On the show, Koyama was asked to share a few words about NEWS' fresh start. Gazing solemnly into the camera, Koyama then expressed, "NEWS has had too little activities as a group until now, but even so, our fans have been waiting for us. So, I absolutely did not want to end NEWS here for those fans."

NEWS' group activities were very limited indeed, and the last time the members all gathered together was in April during Marching J's charity event for the Tohoku earthquake.

He also commented on NEWS' future, saying, "It will be quite tough from now on, but we will try our best. So please continue to support us," and made a deep bow.
