1) NEWS is a three-member Japanese boyband, consisting of:
小山慶一郎 (Koyama Keiichiro - 1st May 1984)
加藤シゲアキ (Kato Shigeaki - 11th July 1987)
増田貴久 (Masuda Takahisa - 4th July 1986)
Former members:
山下智久 (Yamashita Tomohisa - 9th April 1985)
錦戸亮 (Nishikido Ryo - 3rd November 1984)
草野博紀 (Kusano Hironori - 15th February 1988)

Nishikido Ryo and Uchi Hiroki also belong to the group 関ジャニ∞(Kanjani8). Whereas Moriuchi Takahiro left Johnny's and is now One ok rock's lead singer.
The group began with nine members in 2003, headed by leader Yamashita Tomohisa. Their first single was a 7-11 limited release, but their official debut single was Kibou ~Yell~, which debuted at #1 on the Oricon weekly charts. Moriuchi Takahiro left just before the release of this, reportedly because of family issues and to concentrate on his studies.
Since the release of Kibou ~Yell~, every NEWS single to date has debuted at #1 on the Oricon weekly charts.
In 2005, Uchi Hiroki was arrested for drunken behavior. As he was under the drinking age of 20 in Japan, he was suspended indefinitely and NEWS continued as a 7 member group. In January 2006, Kusano Hironori was accused of underage drinking and denied the accusation but decided to withdraw out of his own accord.
NEWS released one more single, Sayaendo, before they were officially put on hiatus by the management. Non-suspended members continued with solo work (most notably, Yamashita Tomohisa and テゴマス, composed of Tegoshi Yuuya and Masuda Takahisa) until the end of the year of 2006. In late December, the management announced the end of the NEWS hiatus. NEWS first re-appeared officially at the 2006-2007 Johnny's Countdown concert. The group reappeared with six members, without the two members suspended for underage drinking.
On March 21st of 2007, NEWS released their first single since the hiatus, 「星をめざして」 (Hoshi wo Mezashite). The single debuted at #1 on the Oricon weekly charts with over 200,000 copies sold, and has a theme, in the lyrics, of thankfulness to waiting fans.
Asides from the new single, members have also resumed all previous group activities such as magazine shoots, concert tours, and TV appearances.
In May of 2007, Johnny & Associates announced Kusano and Uchi's return to public media, in roles on Shonentai's musical. In January 2008, it was reported that Uchi Hiroki and Kusano Hironori had graduated from their trainee status. They have not returned to NEWS, but are appearing in various magazines and under public spotlight again.
In October of 2011, Nishkido Ryo and Yamashita Tomohisa left the group. Yamashita is now focusing on solo activities and Ryo on 関ジャニ∞.

The song "Best Friend" by News is a song about a girl who is both the best friend of the singer and the ex-girlfriend. The girl, who has suede blue eyes, always dances down the street, catching the attention of every new boy she meets. But despite her charm, the boys don't know the real surprise of her, which is that she used to be the singer's girlfriend.
The chorus of the song is about how much the singer is attracted to the girl, even though she is now with his best friend. The girl is described as dancing beneath the starry sky, making everyone flip, including the singer. The chorus ends with the repetition of the title phrase "She's my best friend's girl", which highlights the predicament of the singer.
The song is packed with vivid imagery such as "nuclear boots" and "drip dry glove" which is an indication of the era in which the song was written. Overall, the song speaks to the complicated nature of relationships and how feelings can persist even after a relationship has ended.
Line by Line Meaning
You're always dancing down the street
You are carefree, happy and full of life.
With your suede blue eyes
Your striking blue eyes catch everyone's attention.
And every new boy that you meet
Every boy find you attractive and wants to be with you.
He doesn't know the real surprise
They don't know that you belong to someone else.
Here she comes again
She appears once more, like she always does.
When she's dancing 'neath the starry sky
Watching her dance under the stars is an enchanting sight.
She'll make you flip
You'll be blown away by her beauty and grace.
You kinda like the way she dips
You are drawn to the way she moves.
She's my best friend's girl
She is in a romantic relationship with my best friend.
She's my best friend's girl
Repeating to emphasize she is in love with his best friend.
And she used to be mine
He used to be in love with her too before she got together with his friend.
You've got your nuclear boots
You have your unique sense of fashion.
And your drip dry glove
Your gloves are practical and durable, a symbol of your independence.
And when you bite your lip
You unconsciously reveal that you're attracted to someone.
It's some reaction to love
Biting your lip is a sign of falling in love or feeling infatuated.
