NEWS: Appears on the cover of "Monthly TV Guide" in a mature yukata outfit! Passionately discusses the good things about Japan from a unique perspective

■When asked, “What is your favorite summer song by NEWS?” everyone gave the same answer!

NEWS appeared on the cover of “Monthly TV Guide September 2024 Issue” (on sale July 24th).

The three members of NEWS, who are celebrating their 21st year, will once again send out the charms of Japan and “wabi-sabi” to the world with their 14th album “JAPANEWS” (released on August 7th), which has a title that means “Japan” just like their debut song “NEWS Nippon”. Each member talks passionately about what they think are the good things about Japan – food, language, fashion, etc. from their own unique perspective.

In addition, wearing yukatas and feeling the summer vibe, they asked about summer events they are looking forward to and must-have items, and to the question, “What is your favorite NEWS summer song?”, all of them answered the same thing. Let’s read the interview and guess which song it is.

In addition, Kohei Uchimura, who will be the athlete navigator for the Olympics, will appear in a photo spread explaining how to enjoy the Olympics. The magazine also comes with a calendar that provides an easy-to-understand explanation of the Paris Olympics on a day-by-day basis.

In the drama photo shoot, the gorgeous cast members who will be coloring the summer dramas talk about the highlights. The gorgeous cast members include Matsumoto Wakana and Matsumura Hokuto from “Saionji-san Doesn’t Do Housework,” Matsuda Genta from “Billion x School,” Yagi Yusei from “Minami-kun ga Koibito!?”, K (&TEAM) from “Get Me: Reminiscence Edition,” Narita Ryo and Yoshikawa Ai from “Furi-Pile Lonely Death,” and Okuno So from “Cosmetic Play Lover.”

In addition, the luxurious cardboard edition of the “Junior SPECIAL BOOK” features a total of 23 juniors who will be performing live in the summer. These include AmBitious, who will be appearing in “Mynavi Summer Station Live 2024 SUMMER GO! MIRAI GO! East! West! All Together”, 7 MEN Samurai, who have announced their first nationwide tour “7 MEN Samurai LIVE 2024 and JOY!”, and Shonen Ninja, who will be appearing in “PASSION!! ~ Shinobi in the Summer 2024 ~”, including Naohiro Oyama, Koki Kawasaki, Tatsuo Fukada, Mitsuteru Kuroda, Mitsunari Hiyama, Wataru Motoki, and Seiki Kawasaki. The lively and cute gravure, which makes the most of the characteristics of each group, spans a total of 23 pages.

The final photogravure features Bishounen’s Nasu Yuto and Ukisho Hidaka, who will be appearing in “Mynavi Summer Station Live 2024 SUMMER GO! MIRAI GO! East! West! All Together” from July 30th, showing off their cool, summery gravure shots with a transparent look.

In the serialization, the 100th installment of “Voice Actor” features Sumire Uesaka, who is celebrating her 10th anniversary as an artist. The gravure is overflowing with cuteness, and is just as adorable as the lovely world covered in pink. In Hiroshi Nagano’s “Taste Resume,” he visits Shiose Souhonke, the first shop in Japan to make bean-jam buns, beloved by many military commanders including Tokugawa Ieyasu.

Additionally, there are reports on the Kis-My-Ft2 concert held on Tanabata, and the solo concert by SHINee’s KEY, who performed his first original Japanese song in about six years.

WEST., who recently started their variety show “Hirameke! Unpyoko Channel”, also appeared in matching gym clothes. In addition, Sato Shori and Tanaka Juri from “Abekobe Danshi no Matsu Heya de” also had a friendly chat on the set. The photo shoot, full of cheery smiles, is definitely worth a look.

Also featured are THE JET BOY BANGERZ, who are celebrating their first anniversary since their debut, and Natsurin Fujiyoshi, who is making her first film appearance and first lead role, as well as Ryosuke Sota, who is in high demand for popular works and is appearing in the Friday drama “Warau Matryoshka.” Be sure to check out the bonus photo of Sota with his languid expression.
