here's something i found.
NEWS members describes RyoMessages to Ryo-chan, from 'A Happy NEWS Year Concert 2006' pamphlet...
From Tomohisa: He is one of the guys in NEWS's noisy team (Laughs). It's sort of like Nishikido represents the west and Yamashita & Kusano represents the east (Laughs). These days, frequently, Ryo-chan has been playing the guitar and singing parodies, which is very amusing. We're powering up more and more. As we become loud, Koyama and Shige calmly neutralizes us, and based on that, our tensions become pretty balanced. However, those two can sometimes be way too serious for their own good, so in times like those, Ryo-chan or me energetically makes some noise, and conversely, we neutralize them (Laughs). In short, we seem sort of scattered, but we're actually quite balanced; that is the kind of group NEWS is. Therefore, Ryo-chan, please always stay the fun person that you are.
From Keiichiro: Generally speaking, Ryo-chan has always been a kind person. The sharper his tongue gets, the more I think it's actually out of kindness (Laughs). I mean, I think the reason that he can have so much fun criticizing others like that is because he has love in him, and I also think that he would only say stuff to the people he trusts... That is how I'm interpreting it (Laughs). I may be way off... Besides, even though Ryo-chan may say something or the other, when he is having a normal conversation, or other very short times, you can feel plenty of his kindness. He is a person who has lots of love. However, if I say that kind of stuff, Ryo-chan may get out his sharp tongue and say, "Yeah right, I'm not like that" (Laughs). Ryo-chan, I know that in truth, you're actually the kindest person!
From Shigeaki: From my point of view, Nishikido-kun, just like Yamashita-kun, is a charismatic person. Because, on top of all the activities he has as NEWS, he also has activities with Kanjani8 and solo jobs as well. So isn't he extremely busy? Not just his body, but I think that it also must be very difficult having to switchover his feelings one-by-one. And despite all that, he doesn't show any signs of how exhausting or painful it all must be. Furthermore, whether it be work or leisure, he takes really great care of his time. I would like to learn that toughness. If I were in the same kind of situation, I don't think I'll be able to modulate everything to his extent... I respect you!
From Hironori: I think that all the fans know really well that Nishikido-kun is a fun person because he talks about really interesting stuff during talk shows and concerts, but if you were to really talk to him... He is even more amusing (Laughs). Nowadays, he is the number one person who takes care of me during his private time, taking me to different places to hangout. The way that he makes time to hangout with me, even though he is extremely busy, is really cool and makes me really happy! To me, he is like a reliable older brother. I really would like you to continue being loving, please!
From Takahisa: The drama that Nishikido-kun was in, "1 Rittoru no Namida," I watched every single episode of it very seriously! I always thought, "His acting is amazing~" and I was also deeply moved. Oh, and last time, Nishikido-kun gave me some advice, saying, "Massu, why don't you get a haircut? Your current hair style is not very stylish," but I don't agree! (Laughs) I really like my current hairstyle so I'm going to keep it just the way it is... Having said that, I actually had a little bit cut (Laughs). Well, I am really happy when you inform me of the different things you realize, so please continue telling me whenever you notice something.
From Yuya: He has been doing activities since a long time ago, so at the beginning, the image of him being a really 'high senior' was really strong. I never even thought that I would be in the same group as him. However, now, we call each other and he also invites me to hangout with him... I am tremendously happy that we get along! Nishikido-kun is a really amusing person to talk to, and it's so unbelievably fun to be with him, it just can't be helped. Like a reliable older brother, please continue taking care of me! (Laughs)

debbie_chan livejournalRyo compares each NEWS member to a car partRyo-chan's messages from the 'A Happy NEWS Year Concert 2006' pamphlet♥
From Oneself: If NEWS were a car, and I were to compare myself to one of the parts, I would be... The expensive body right!? (Laughs) Nah, truthfully, I think I'm more like the shaft (car part). Meaning that I want to continue being in the center of the group. In no way am I implying that I want to boss everyone around; I meant it more like I want to be considered an irreplaceable part.
To Keiichiro: Koyama is the one who always picks what direction NEWS should go accordingly, and arranges us during our concert's MCs and TV show's talking parts. In that sense, if he were to be compared to a car, he would be like the handle. There may be times when he makes a wrong turn, or loses his way and ends up on the wrong street, or gets honked by other cars (Laughs), but it's probably safe to say, that is part of his charm. You're a very reliable person, so please continue guiding us with that handle.
To Hironori: Simply put, Kusano-kun is... An idiot (Laughs). He is really well spread when we're hanging out, but his tension gets way too high and I start thinking, "This dude is an idiot," and mid-way, I get tired of him (Laughs). Having said that, I think that there is a huge amount of times when his high energy actually saves everyone. There were many times when even if we were all a little tired, just having him there tended to change the air almost immediately. He is sort of like a triggering explosive in our group... If he were compared to a car, he would probably be the engine plug. Please continue being the one to bring up everyone's spirits.
To Yuya: If Tegoshi were to be compared to a car, he would be the wiper. There is a car called NEWS, and it's driving down the road right? There may come times when the rain starts pouring and the visibility becomes bad, or when someone becomes elated and you can't see in front of you. But during those times, I think that everyone realizes, "A~ I have to do my best," when we see Tegoshi continuously working hard. He cleanly wipes away the cloudiness in everyone's heart, which is why he is like a wiper. Tegoshi, I'm really sorry that it's not a very interesting comparison (Laughs).
To Shigeaki: Generally speaking, Shige's image is that of an intelligent person. Even when we're conversing, I often find myself thinking that his brain works really fast. In NEWS, he probably has the #1 intellectual personality (Laughs). If he were to be compared to a car, he would be like the navi (← navigator system)? He holds a lot of knowledge, and he can guide us towards a precise direction. Please continue using your high-powered navi very efficiently (Laughs).
To Takahisa: He is like a car's antenna because he always picks up different kinds of information. Primarily, Massu seems like he really likes new things, and he always goes around to other members saying, "Please look at these clothes~" which I find cute. I would like him to continue sending us various electro-magnetic waves, and from that, I hope to continue getting good stimulus. Well, depending on the time and place, you can always put away the antenna... Which is a joke! (Laughs) Please stay rich with senses, like always.
To Tomohisa: I definitely think that YamaPi is like NEWS's face, or someone who aims for the front. Therefore, if he were compared to a car, he would be like the front grill. For this reason, I want him to always shine, and I want him to stay a cool person. Well, even without me saying anything, of course YamaPi is always sparkling.
