NEWS will be releasing their new album QUARTETTO on March 9. The album will accompany their previously announced NEWS LIVE TOUR 2016 QUARTETTO. The album emphasizes the music and harmony of four people. Its underlying theme” is “four people playing an instrument.”

NEWS plays body percussion and tap dance for the music video of the “Theme of Quartetto”, and the sound of the four members playing together becomes one song. The PV also features the hobbies and interest of the individual members of NEWS, such as soccer for Tegoshi Yuya, fashion for Masuda Takahisa, writing for Shigeaki Kato, and gym for Koyama Keiichiro.

The regular edition includes the members’ four solo songs. Check out the released album details, PV preview and QUARTETTO radio rip below.
