Yamada , Chinen and Yuto graduate from Horikoshi Gakuen :3

First of all ... my hearty congratulations to the trio.. Secondly ... Im a SUPER PROUD FAN!!!!

On February 17th, Hey! Say! JUMP members Yamada Ryosuke, Chinen Yuri, and Nakajima Yuto officially graduated from high school through a ceremony at Horikoshi High School.

The boys held a press conference after the ceremony, and reporters noticed that Yamada had tears in his eyes. Shaking his head, Yamada protested, “No no, it’s eye drops.” He also recalled a ‘cold’ memory from high school, “My teachers scolded me a lot. I had to sit in the hallway a few times. Sitting there in the winter was tough.”

Meanwhile, Chinen shared a cheerful memory from high school, saying, “I was happy I placed 4th on the tests in our grade level.” When asked, “When did you study?“, he quickly responded, “I just listened to the lectures.”

Nakajima also shared, “I always looked forward to eating onsen tamago (slow-boiled egg) curry with Chinen during lunch. Because of it, I became this big.”

Now that they’ve graduated high school, the three members plan to devote themselves entirely to their entertainment activities. “We’ll get employed by Johnny’s Entertainment,” they said in unison. Yamada added, “I want to take advantage of the time I’m not in school to build up my own abilities and mature as a member of JUMP.”

Hey! Say! JUMP will embark on their first Asia tour starting March 24th. They are scheduled to hold concerts in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Bangkok, and Seoul. Yamada said, “To make up for the language barrier, we want to show it in our performance.” Chinen also promised, “Let’s do some acrobatic stunts.”

Okamoto Keito gets into Sophia University

On February 18th, reports revealed that Hey! Say! JUMP member Okamoto Keito (18) has been accepted into the Faculty of Liberal Arts at Sophia University, one of the top-rated international universities in Japan. Okamoto took the TOEFL exam, which evaluates the level of an individual’s English, and wrote an English essay.

According to officials, the exam results were posted at the end of January. His father, actor Okamoto Kenichi (42), and the family dog crowded around the computer when the notification of acceptance was posted on the university’s homepage. Okamoto Sr. was said to be jubilant over his son’s acceptance, especially since he took care of Okamoto as a single parent.

For Keito, Sophia University was his first choice because “the school allows English as the first language to learn with – an option not readily available in Japan.” He also revealed, “I want to study English and I also have an interest in International Business as well.”

Sophia University is known for their hard admittance rate, so Okamoto had to constantly study behind-the-scenes during his concerts and other entertainment activities. Reportedly, he always had a reference book in his hands. When the concerts overlapped with his examination date, Okamoto’s fellow members and staff understood his situation and allowed him to miss the concert.

Congratulations Keito!!!! Im a proud fan!!!!!!!

NEWSFLASH: Morimoto Ryutaro's Current Situation Six Months Following Suspension. Johnny Kitagawa Leaves Matters Out of His Own Hands? Also: Hey! Say! JUMP announces first Asia tour, new single, and the entrance of member Yabu Kota in Waseda University.

A Nikkansports article, posted on January 3, 2012, (JST) reveals the current state of 16-year-old Morimoto Ryutaro's career as a Johnny's talent. It has been decided by Morimoto himself that he will continue focusing on high school studies. Kitagawa says:

“The world of talent industry isn’t everything and his will on taking his studies very seriously is a good thing. We will support his decision on going to school."

... and, regarding Morimoto resuming work activities:

“We will not be deciding on that.”

It seems as if Kitagawa has decided on leaving the matters of the boy's career in the hands of Morimoto himself. So, for the meantime, I guess we can say that his fate as a member of pop idol group Hey! Say! JUMP is on hold. His suspension has been lifted, and the decision on whether to return to work is questionable. It can be said that Kitagawa is most uncertain of Morimoto's return. Nonetheless, fans should continue to support the nine-member Hey! Say! JUMP.

Hey! Say! JUMP member Yabu Kota, age 21, has announced that he has passed the entrance exam for the Department of Human Informatics and Cognitive Sciences at Waseda University.
Yabu states:

“From the beginning, I’ve never hated studying, and I always had a feeling of wanting to go to college these past 4 years. I will try my best to cope with both work and study.”

Yabu will begin his course at Waseda University this opening April.

Fast fact -
Did you know?NEWS and TegoMass member Tegoshi Yuya, as well as KAT-TUN's Nakamaru Yuichi both belong to the same department at Waseda!

That is all for now!
More updates to come ^^

RUMOR - Hey! Say! JUMP new single Titled "Re:START" to be released January 2012 with ten members?

(source: tumblr tag "ryutaro morimoto")

Now, the actual source of this rumor is unknown, but it's quite promising, isn't it?
Excited we all may be, I think it's best to stay level-headed on the topic. If we get too excited at this point, there's a good chance karma might come back and set us up for mental breakdown. Meaning, we need to caution ourselves. If our excitement level goes too high, there's a possibility that we'll crash and burn.

I’m not trying to be negative. To be honest, I'm usually Miss Positive! I just don't want to let karma get the better of us and possibly crush our hearts.

Even still, let's assume this rumor is true for the time being and support 10JUMP with full hearts! :)

Oh, while I'm on this topic, here's a Ryutaro meme-type image I saw today that made me smile:

Yes, Ryu. We miss you very much. We're still waiting for you, but please take all the time you need to make your decision. We'll wait for you always ♥

Popolo 2012.02 - “Full Understanding of Whats In Yamapi’s Head! His Current Best 3 Announcents!!”

NEWS members aren't included as his best friends???

And wait - not even Akanishi Jin???

That's right, minna. Popolo's 2012 February issue covered a column titled "Full Understanding of What's in YamaPi's Head!". In this column, YamaPi discusses his "best 3" on various topics - one of which happens to be "Johnnies Your Close Friends With." Shocking or not, not one of NEWS's four remaining members or even KAT-TUN's ex-member Akanishi Jin were included in his "best 3."

His best three in this particular category are as follows:
1. Ikuta Toma [No Border]
2. Matsumoto Jun [Arashi]
3. Nishikido Ryo [Kanjani8]


Yamashita comments on the topic:

"With Ikuta, I do stuff like eating out or going to the gym. Lately our conversations have been actor-like. Even though we go back and forth to the gym together, during training I’m doing solo activity. [laughs]"

With such a comment as this, I myself am left a bit speechless. It appears as if NEWS's ex-leader, YamaPi, is now regarding his withdrawal from his long-time unit as simply a trivial matter after only separating from the group three months prior. It doesn't surprise me much though. Even in NEWS's early days, you could tell that Pi felt a bit aloof among the members. Really, I think that it makes sense for Nishikido to be in his "best 3". It's a bit odd to explain, but I'm sure some of you long-time NEWS fans already know where I'm coming from.

I guess if I know one thing for sure, 6-member NEWS fans will surely be disappointed, as well as those fans of the Akanishi/Yamashita 'best friends' duo.
