In late 2003, Masuda became a member of the J-pop group News to promote the Women's World Cup of Volleyball Championships. When News went on hiatus in 2006, he and fellow NEWS member, Tegoshi Yuya, formed the singing group Tegomass. The duo successfully released their single Miso Soup in both Sweden and Japan. Masuda was allowed to farther his acting experience in 2006 by landing various supporting roles in many Japanese dramas.
In late 2008, Masuda and the promoters of TU→YU formed a singing group to release the song Soba Ni Iru Yo, which was featured in the product's commercials and released through the Japanese mobile phone network.
Masuda landed a role in the drama Rescue, which starts airing in January 2009. He is currently active in the group News as well as the subgroup Tegomass.
Masuda is known to be indecisive and have a unique fashion sense. His love for gyoza (dumplings) is well known within NEWS members. He is arguably the best dancer in NEWS, having taught band member Tegoshi Yuya how to dance when NEWS was suspended, and taught the other members dance steps to NEWS' songs after the one year suspension. Masuda is also well known for his smile.
Masuda is currently acting in a stage play, Ame no Hi no Mori no Naka (Inside a Rainy Day's Forest), his first leading role in a stage play.
