I would like to clarify that I work hard for the information that I post in jyannisweekly and i hate people who do not so much credit my work. That said, please do not repost the information here unless you directly tell me or e-mail or message me before doing so. I worked so hard.

Jyannis Weekly shall also continue shortly with Kamenashi Kazuya as the next Jyannis. Please look forward to it. I am also looking for help for anyone who wants to aid me in this project.

Thanks guys

Marikit ♥ Notti
I love Notti for the simple fact that he is fun, energetic and always smiling. He is very sweet looking and always moving around. Kusano looks like he could not hurt a fly, at the same time he has this mischievous look to him that I adore. He is so cute, he has a handsome face and a nice energetic and bright personality. He is truly one NEWS member that I always watch.

Notti can dance really well, speak english well, rap, and sing very well. He is one of JE's most loved voices and sweetest guys. In my honest opinion, this guy's talents does not stop there. He is a great artist, a very good friend and i bet that doesnt even end there.

When he voluntarily left NEWS for a while, he sacrificed himself and his career. But, he worked hard to come back and now he is back. I hope we see a great many of Kusano in the future because Notti is awesome.

Marikit ♥ K-chan
Keii-chan.... I don't know how to  begin with him. He's a chatter box, an oniiisan a generally nice guy. He is a great friend, a super good son, a doting uncle, a sweet person, dedicated and passionate with his work and all around super-cool idol. The juniors look up to him. NEWS respect him and his colleagues all like him. What's not to like about Keii-chan?

His personality is endearing. He is loved by everyone and yet, he works hard. I don't know anything that I could say about Keii that I don't really like. Maybe, his look. I am not so fond of it, but in time I grew to love it. And oh boy can he dance. OMG. *___* Aoi inazuma!!  I died multiple times at the fancam and to this day its one of my favorite parts of  it. HIP ROLL!! HIP ROLL!

From the start, he is really the responsible, chatty and funny guy in NEWS. Though he is not the best looking, he makes you look and notice him. He's really a sweetheart and you can't help but smile with his deep chatter. I loved the fact that he knows that he is the eldest and that he has responsibility over the young ones. Though sometimes he does act like a child ( especially around Shige) I think his open personality is what I love the best.

Koyama to me is what a best friend, and brother should be like. I wish he was my oniichan. <3

25 YAMAPI FACTS:

2. Akanishi Jin, Shirota Yuu and Yamapi all have the same necklaces with the brand Janji (sp). It's a friendship necklace Jin bought for them.
3. He barely brings anything to concerts and other out of town performances. Just a change of clothing and his cellphone.
4. He's usually quiet backstage, and staring into space doing curls or push-ups. I think that relaxes him ~ Shigeaki Kato
5. The name YamaPi is short for Yamashita Pink which was given to him by his idol Hideaki Takizawa after he saw that Yamashita is always put in Pink.
6. He has two dogs, P-chan and Hime-chan. hime was originally named coco but his mom and sister kept on calling it hime so it stuck
7. He has a birthmark on his left eye
8. He plays the piano quite well. He had his recital at 14.
9. He loves the beach and dreams of retiring in Hawaii to surf and play there.
10. He is very affectionate with his friends. He almost never misses a birthday or a special occassion with friends.
11. He is very protective of his sister. HE said he still doesnt want her to have a boyfriend. (at age 19?! COME ON PI!!)
12. He likes cooking, when he can, but he says that he's not very good at it.He hates cream. (well not very much of it, I guess)
13. Nishikido Ryo and Yamashita Tomohisa have been friends since Jyannis Juniors. They would talk for hours on the phone when Yamapi calls Ryo's house in Osaka.
14. He updates his J-web daily. He loves it so much that he can communicate with the fans through it.
15. His favorite bands include: Southern All Stars, Mr.Children, GLAY, Fukuyama Masaharu
16. He is always busy, if there was one thing that he wanted to have more of, it is time so he can go to sleep and do all the things he needed to do in a day.
17. Yamapi is very confident when it comes to some of his subjects in school that sometimes he only brings a pen to exams and nothing else.
18. He studies in Meiji University taking up Business. It is also where Koyama Keiichiro graduated.
19. Yamapi tries to take and read all of his fanmail. There is a limit to the number of mail you can take with you per week (?) and the staff sometimes catches him smuggling more home.
20. Yamapi tried to learn Thai for GYM. He still keeps contact with Pichaya Nitipaisalkul (Golf) through chat or email.
21. He is basically left-handed but was taught to be ambidextrous. He writes and uses scissors and knives with the right hand and eats with the left.
22. He can draw a very nice "Bucktooth Doraemon". In the hotel once, they played Pictionary and he showed off that he could draw doraemon. Ryo-chan called it bucktooth.
23. He is very prompt and serious with his work. During rehearsals, he takes charge as a leader should and is very responsible. Yet, he listens to people's opinions. ~ Masuda Takahisa
24. With money he is very frugal, in one of the concerts, the boys took off their tops and threw it to the crowd, however Yamapi didn't throw his. The reason? He said that he had on a very expensive tank top. ( Expensive? 500 yen worth.)] He did throw it in the end, but he said to the fan "Can you give it back to me?" ( thanks
    
25. He composed a song for Jyannis Juniors that is called "Say it with a Kiss" ( unsure of the title).

Marikit ♥ Yamapi
I have to admit. I am not the biggest Yamapi fan on the planet. But I do love him just the same. He is a splendid actor and great singer plus, he's really humble which makes him awesome in my book! <3 Yamapi to me is a wonderful guy and he's so natural that he sometimes doesn't seem like a big star.

What endeared me to Pi is his spazziness. I first LOVED him as AKIRA from Nobuta wo Produce. That stupid spazziness got to me and I loved him so dearly for that. Then I watched him more in everything - especially in summary DVD Backstage where he showed who he really is with Jin. I thought that was really cute. He's so silly and frank and funny that it made me smile.

I honestly think that that is the real Yamapi underneath all the seriousness with work, the stress and the quiet facade. He's just too busy to be himself lately ( honestly johnny give the boy a break!) I love yamapi because he is probably the most down to earth idol I have seen. he's awesome and super talented and I have to admit he's very easy on the eyes as well.

Marikit ♥ Massu
Massu is possibly the cutest boy in NEWS. I love his sweet dimpled smile and his amazing arms. He has an amazing body. He looks like the most youthful of the group and the most active. He loves to smile and he's very funny. Massu to me is just like a big child.

Though he looks very childish, he is far from childish. He is very dedicated to his work, but he also reminds people to relax and have fun in this business. Massu has an infectuous smile and it is apparent that everyone loves it even the NEWS members. Massu's cheerfulness helps NEWS and Tegoshi especially to keep focused on the positive things when things get tough.

I love Massu especially because he's very adorable that even little kids like him. Honestly, my 3 year old cousin loves him! He's a  person that can make anyone smile and that is why I love MASSU. PLus the fact that he's a little pig makes me happy.

Marikit ♥ Tegoshi

Tesshi is the best singer in NEWS and I agree. The boy is simply super talented. He is also a boy whom I had watched grow up on screen. He was a cute innocent boy with a lot of energy, even naive to the point that where in the SUMMARY Backstage, Tegoshi was doted upon, teased and cared by everyone. Because, back then, Tegoshi was a baby and he was very endearing. I think that That is one of his best qualities. Being endearing like that, is his charm.

Tegoshi was born to be cute. Everything he does is cute ( even his things are) and he was also born to sing and perform onstage. That natural talent is harnessed and I believe he will be one of the biggest singers in Japan. He ust has that kind of aura. His voice is beautiful and smooth and it improves daily. He also works very hard as we saw his improvement ( major improvement in dancing) But what I think is this: Tegoshi needs to find his own identity like Shige did and not imitate others too much or try to be sexy or cool because sexy or cool... well I think does not suit him

Tegoshi is a fanboy whether he admits it or not. He imitates people and usually end up failing when he does. I wish that he just get his own style or go back to the innocent, naive and cute Tegoshi that everyone adores. Tesshi, you are adorable. This is why I LOVE YOU.

Marikit ♥ Shige
How do I begin to describe how much I love the rockstar? I don't know but for sure that he is one of my strongest muses and favorite guys in the world. Shige is NEWS' Rockstar and Genius. The boy is so smart! I love him! He's also very creative ( I love wagahai!) He's the BEST!! ( and he's a fictional cat wtf!!) He's also very deep and he seems mysterious.

Sometimes, you really do not know what goes on in the mind of Kato Shigeaki. It seems that  his brain is perpetually turning, making music, creating worlds and simply thinking ideas that is unique to him. I love reading his essays in Myojo. It gives me an insight on the person that is Shige. And I fall more.

Shige to me is a character. He's my strongest muse. (I am only writing a 6 Chapter fic on what I think is going on with him) And I think that he is trying to change his image. He wants to be known more, and he should! He has a lot of talent and the looks to go with it. Shige, I love you... you're the best Rockstar a girl can ever have...  He is my ROCKSTAR PRINCE

25 Things You (Probably) Did not Know about Ryo:

★His special nckname for Hiroki Uchi: Honey Toast and Piroki

★He is basically a righty, but he got fractures on his Right arm  so he uses his left hand a lot. (he cant bend his right hand well)(That explains a lot for me! Like how he cant dance well sometimes!)

★Ryo likes to read a lot of books. Mostly Non-fiction. He loves the Da Vinci code. he likes to read about various subjects.

★Ryo taught Tegoshi the Guitar and he also helps Tegoshi with a lot of his fashion choices. Tegoshi is his "pet" that he calls Tego-nyan

★In an interview with NEWS where Ryo was absent Keii-chan said "He keeps on going on until he collapsed. He kept persevering even though he did not feel well and he did not tell anyone." Massu added that,"He worried us.He kept on shouldering responsibility when we can share it. "  Shige  also said that "He is our Aniki. I call him like my older brother since I have no siblings. He always takes care of us  before himself."  Tegoshi also said "We hope that he would be ok. "  (What happened, Ryo-tan?! *panic*)

★When he was shooting the drama One Liter of Tears he kept on slipping into Kansai-ben and he kept on ad-libbing and adding things to it even after he had spoken the speech.He studies the script at home and when he goes to the set, he tries not to have any script and acts like Asou all the time. (I want to see! OMG *flails*)

★He plays the role of an intimidating boy with his speech and he's the cool guy of NEWS  but he is really an extremely shy person.

★Among the sempais, He meets up with Jun Matsumoto most. Among his colleagues, its with Yamapi (NEWS), Shota Yasuda (関ジャニ∞), Ohkura Tadayoshi (関ジャニ∞) and Akanishi Jin (KAT-TUN) that he meets with the most

♥ marikit loves ryo♥

It is my first ever feature and I am happy to say that it is Nishikido Ryo! (No, I am not biased) He's my ichiban!! The truth is, I never thought I would like Ryo. When I first started liking Ryo, it was because of Shouta from Attention Please. Then, I watched 1 Liter of Tears, and I was hooked! Ryo is a real character. He acts all tough and intimidating, but he's a real sweetheart! ♥

Ryo is an older brother to NEWS and that appeals to me.Even though he can act bitchy at times, he is really one that is most concerned for the boys of NEWS and Kanjani 8. He shoulders responsibility and allows  the others to just enjoy themselves. Ryo to me is a wonderful person. Who shows the world that he is REAL. Ryo has no pretenses about him. He is what he is, no matter how sharp they think his tounge is.

He is not the most handsome guy but he is hella charming and that appeals to me the most... I mean, just look at his smile! I DIE! That hazukashii smile got me hooked and since then, Ryo-chan is my #1
