The producer of SCP describes NEWS as follows:

Koyama Keiichiro

Top Class at Having Member Love

The spokesman of NEWS. He stands in front to build the bridge between other three members and staffs. So he’s always looking at the group and I think he has the most love towards the members despite that other members have the strong love towards each other as well. He understands each member’s characteristic well, so he’s really good at leading the conversation. He just skims through the script and understands the key points well. Moreover, he observes the staffs a lot and gives various helpful suggestions for the process to go through more smoothly. He’s a spokesman, as well as a producer. He’s constantly thinking about how people around him can be comfortable!

Kato Shigeaki A Great “Balancer”, a Mom Figure of NEWS

He has so much depth as a person that you can’t describe him in one word. Because unlike anyone I’ve seen, he has this ability to look from broader perspective and capture the meanings and nature of things in a unique way. He certainly has a different perspective from that of Koyama San. Let’s say that if Koyama San is looking at that day's shooting then Kato San is looking at the show in long span. Because those two can look things in different ways, they have such good balance: Koyama San is the frontal leader while Kato San is the backstage leader. I think it’s the best to describe them as a dad (Koyama San) and a mom (Kato San).

Masuda Takahisa An Idea Man Who is Always Willing to Learn and Loves to Eat

He has a strong preference on music so he goes to see other groups’ concerts to educate himself, and he puts forth his thoughts and opinions when deciding on members’ parts to sing as an idea man. He’s usually very creative and unpredictable as we all know. So during the shooting of the show, it’s always impossible to figure out what he is going to do, in a good way, and that’s always exciting. There are times when he hits right onto that jokes, but there are times when he fails (lol). Also, a lot of time staffs are worried if the casts like the Bento lunch they has prepare for them. But with Masuda San, he ate two whole Bentos in the morning the other day and even asked if he can bring some home. I personally like that side of him so much.
