So Shige's third novel is due to come out in March. It's called "Burn" and I can make a couple of bad jokes on that. I kinda expected it at this point but still I am very glad. Three books is a serious deal and his plots seem to become more elaborate each time.
On the other hand there's no telling how this year will be for NEWS. So far there are no talks about anything NEWS. There's a Tegomass tour coming which is cool but that means KoyaShige will have a lot of free time. Well, Koyama has been promoted to main host recently so he's got a regular job but Shige only has stuff like his radio and Mirai Theatre. Maybe it's good, he's no good for my health. But I'm very amazed at how he can basically fit his inspiration into a tight schedule and write a book from scratch withing a month of two. I can't even write a fic in that time.
