[Idols and Intensity] A masterpiece by NEWS. A captivating song whose charm changes with the number of members.

Debuting in spectacular fashion with the Volleyball World Cup image song “NEWS Nippon,” the group NEWS has raced from the idol world into the broader music scene.

They celebrated their 20th anniversary in 2023, and in 2024 they made headlines again by releasing their catalog on streaming services.

We’ll be introducing many of their classic hits!

Beyond the glitter befitting their early idol era, there’s something moving about the powerful vocals that have stood out even more since they became a smaller lineup.

Be sure to check out their highly message-driven songs as well, which captivate with overwhelming performances at music festivals.

This song was included on NEWS’s first DVD single, “Yonjuushi,” released in 2015.

It was chosen as the official song for the FIFA Club World Cup Japan 2015, and Masuda’s rap is incredibly cool.

It’s an upbeat track that’s perfect for soccer.

I feel like this is a song they sang for the fans after NEWS returned to being six members.

The gentle, sweet lyrics perfectly match NEWS’s image.

The graceful sound further enhances the sweetness, making it a wonderfully crafted track.

The music video was directed by Mika Ninagawa, and the choreography uses umbrellas to evoke a bewitching, seductive atmosphere.

This is my number-one song to listen to in winter.

Its sparkling melody and heartwarming lyrics seem to seep into your cold, frozen body and warm you from the inside out.

When I was a student, I always listened to this song while walking down chilly streets.

It’s full of elements that can make even those who dislike winter fall in love with the season.

Boom! Boom! POWERNEWS

This song is included on NEWS’s sixth single, “Hoshi o Mezashite,” which was released in 2007.

It’s an upbeat track and one of the songs that really gets the crowd going at concerts.

To commemorate their restart, this single was priced slightly lower as a special offer.

A Christmas Without SantaNEWS

This is a ballad that blends poignancy and warmth, resonating especially with those who carry memories of not spending Christmas with a loved one.

It’s included on NEWS’s album WORLDISTA and became a hot topic upon its release in February 2019 as the group’s long-awaited first Christmas song.

While the sound is bright and sparkling, the lyrics depict memories of a former lover and a heartfelt wish to return to those days.

It’s a song that evokes a yearning for a Christmas where time stands still and for a night of carefree joy like a child again.

The members’ gentle vocals tenderly envelop winter scenes, making it perfect for a quietly spent Christmas night.
