NEWS set for January releases

After about 10 months since their last release NEWS has a couple of new releases set for January of 2018.

First up is a single to be released January 17th titled LPS. There will be three versions, two limited and one regular. One LE will be the usual CD with DVD release. The other LE will have bonus tracks only available on that version, which will be new versions of their songs Cherish and Mafuyu no Nagareboshi. Then the regular edition will have a bonus song not included in the LEs.


Then there will be a home video release of the group's most recent concert tour Neverland with the footage used coming from their Tokyo Dome concert and Osaka-jo Arena. It will come out on DVD and BD versions with each having a regular and limited edition. The regular edition has the talk segments and the limited edition has more concert footage.



As a NEWS fan I am so happy with this news. I have already pre-ordered the limited editions of the single and hope to pick up the regular edition the next time I can afford a CDJapan order. Ten months feels far too long to wait between releases, though I guess for fans in Japan they at least had the concert tour to help tide them over. And now they have the home video release to revisit it for 2018, as it is going to be a while before we get a new album from the group.

Though honestly I was expecting to have Kato Shigeaki announcing that he finished writing another novel during this break time for the group. Of course I would not be surprised if that still happens.
