"The members that made the NEWS that I love will still continue to be precious friends. And all the fans that are supporting the NEWS that I love are also precious friends." - Masuda Takahisa <3
I've realized that even if Yamapi and Ryo have technically left NEWS, they will still always be NEWS members. Just like how I believe that Ucchan is still a member of NEWS, I believe that Yamapi and Ryo will always be a part of NEWS. NEWS are connected. For Massu, they will always be his precious friends, and for me, they will always be precious members of NEWS.
