30-day NEWS challenge (30-DNC): DAY 1

[addictdesu]

1. How were you introduced to NEWS?

Warning: this is just the first question, but it's full of Tegoshi already. It only shows that I am biased since the beginning. :p

Year 2009. I was a Japan hater (I don't bash Japan, I just don't like the country). But by some sort of an accident I watched NEWS Winter Party Diamond concert on nielle08 (my classmate)'s laptop and I instantly had a crush on a member named Yuya at first sight--I was driven crazy by his solo peformance of Ai no Matador! Though I liked him very much, I did not bother to research. That is why after a few weeks I completely forgot him, and how awesome he is. :(

Year 2010. Another classmate/roommate introduced me to Tegomass and she made me watch Tegomass no Uta concert. Masuda seemed familiar, but Tegoshi seemed not. (I remembered Massu maybe because his hairstyle in Diamond and TMnoUta hardly changed; while Tego is, ugh, ever-changing.) My roommate is a Massu fan so she bacame the Massu, I became the Tegoshi. I have no objections on becoming the Tegoshi though; I like them both, either is fine! That is when I started researching about the duo, and bit by bit it came to me that Tegoshi of Tegomasu is Yuya of NEWS.

*insert big gasp here*

Learning that fact, I instantly thought that I am destined to be a fangirl. I mean, 2009 it was NEWS; 2010 it was Tegomass, Oh god I seriously don't have a friggin' care about Japan but this Tegoshi Yuya is dragging me to fangirlism!!! So, you guess. A couple of weeks after me and 'my Massu' watched TM no Uta, we watched Diamond (technically it was my second time). I also memorized the other four faces and voices: Yamapi, Ryo, Koyama, Shige. Inevitably I became not just a TM fan but a NEWS fan as well. ♥


NEWS Winter Party Diamond. The song that catched my attention, aside from Ai no Matador, was Snow Express.

Tegomass no Uta live concert. I instantly recognized Massu but I had no idea who his partner was!

And of course, this. ♥ I still get the chills every time I watch this performance. *___*
