NEWS Koi no ABO previews

NEWS's new song Koi no ABO is being released within the month, so of course we have the full song preview.



I am really surprised by how much I love the song. When I first heard it in the RUSS-K commercial it didn't really blow me away. I was also a little turned off by the dramatic change from their previous singles. But after hearing the full song I'm blown away! The music is just so danceable and catchy. I think it's a pretty funny coincidence that JE is having a dance type song right after H!P just had Bye Bye Bye and Dakishimete Dakishimete.
I think the Koi no ABO chant in the beginning and end of the song is really out of place. But that's the only complaint I have about the song. I think Keii completely rocked this song! He just fit so perfectly with this song. I mean he sounds better than Yamapi in it! And that's a hard thing to accomplish. This song has such heavy background music that you really need a deeper voice to make it sound really great. Also Tegoshi sounds incredible. He took his high vocal range to his full advantage in this song. And his voice also sounds absolutely sweet. Maybe even heart melting. This song is just so catchy it was definitely worth the 6 month wait.


In even more exciting NEWS news. Not only do we have the song preview we also have the PV preview.



The first thing I notice about the PV is the unfortunate dance moves. It's like disco moves mixed with terrible dancing. I understand that's what they were going for but that doesn't mean it was a good idea. Another thing I notice is most members are sporting different hair. Some good and some hideous. Yamapi, seriously what's up with his hair? It looks exactly like his Happy Birthday hair! He should have changed it by now. Shige, I see he's back to his black hair again. Which is how it should be, his blonde hair was ugly and did nothing for him. Tegoshi, I love how his hair is flipped like that. Sadly it makes him look very pretty and extra womanly. Ryo, finally his hair is back to normal! I couldn't stand that weird flip from the Happy Birthday PV. Even in Musekinin Hero his hair didn't look 100% great, but now it does. Massu, is hair is slowly but surely growing back. And Keii, there's nothing really different about his. I'm really excited that in this video they are dancing in suits because nothing looks hotter on a guy than a suit. This makes me automatically think of the Weeeek PV. But this time they are all wearing matching suits. Another thing about this PV that jumps out to me is Shige, and not in a good way. He keeps making weird faces through out the whole preview. What's up with that?

Yeah, Shige's goofiness meter was way too high in this, eh?

I love the host club setting, it works <33
