NEWS (also seen as News and NewS) is a Johnny's Entertainment group composed of six members (formerly nine). NEWS stands for the four compass directions: North, East, West and South.

* May 12, 2004: Major debut single, Kibou ~Yell~. Ranks in at #1 on the Oricon Charts.
* May 2006: NEWS is suspended for the rest of the year due to temporary suspension of 2 members for under age drinking of alcohol (Uchi Hiroki in July 2005 & Kusano Hironori in January 2006). Members that are not related to the scandals will be allowed to carry on with their solo activities, but no group activities will be carried on during this period until further notice.
*December 30,2006: It was announced that NEWS would make their return at Johnny's Concert Countdown 2006-2007 as a six-member group, since Hiroki Uchi and Hironori Kusano had been demoted to trainees.To mark their return, NEWS embarked on a tour and released their sixth single "Hoshi wo Mezashite" (Aim For the Stars)."Hoshi wo Mezashite" became their sixth number-one single, which went on to be used as the theme song for the Japanese version of Happy Feet.
