Yeah, I agree! Why do people like Koda Kumi so much?? :confused: I/m not sure what are her good points..... please tell me.

Nakai, yeah... He seems tired nowadays.... I hope he can get more rest, but we'll miss him even without hearing/seeing him for 1 day! I think that his relationship with Nakano Minako is quite similar with his break up incident in 1999. Back then, his girlfriend is also a reporter and she had to face pressure from both Jimusho and Nakai's fans. Then she has no choice but to break up, otherwise her career would be over. Nakai of course was sad, and wished all the best for her. I forgot what's her name... Even now, I'm not sure whether Nakai is in a relationship with Nakano Minako or not, all we heard from were rumors from tabloid and gossip magazines.... In 2001 when he was asked seriously in a variety show with Takeda Shinji why he never get marry, his answer, "Idol dakara" (Because I'm a idol!)

Smap's super manageress, give Nakai a drama!!!! Nakai's situation somehow, I think it's back to Smap=work, work, work.... like before the Goro's incident in 2001. After that incident, he's back with smile and new motivation. Of course I don't want anything bad to happen!!!! Never!

I also wish they would invite Japan's F4 instead....not very fond of the Taiwan F4, except for the Taiwan Hanazawa Rui (zai zai)....

One good thing is she's always look cheerful in music shows, and she has got closer with Smap.
I don't like the theme song that she sang in Final Fantasy X-II, since I've been always a fan of Final Fantasy series for more than 10 years.
You know, before her album became a million seller, nobody really pay attention to her at all. I don't like way Avex/she's promoting her albums/singles. Her tactics are worse than Ayumi, but works anyway... First one, she has agreed to organised a night club in Ginza and became Mama for a day if her album became a million seller. Then she agreed to perform in Kouhaku with 'bra-less'. Her PV are too sexy+bed scenes+pole dancing, one single per week for continuously 12 weeks, I've seen poster made up from the 12 singles, she's almost naked. Main reason I don't really care about her, her song's aren't my favourite type except for Yume no Uta. Of course, that's nothing wrong with the ways she promotes her CD, all reasons above are just my own opinion. At least she has good collaboration with Shingo.

koda kumi is talented as a singer and as a dancer... and yes she dresses sexy... but... it looks good on her and her personality makes her hard to hate. she's actually really funny lol. I like her alot. I also like nakashima mika, Ayu, olivia, ito yuna, and anna tsuchiya too

ohayo gozaimsu minna! Oha! :dancing:





Peace! :victory:

I'm a fanz of Koda Kumi. Why? Firstly, her music. I love her because of her music. Pop rock and suitable with her vocal, and my taste at all. I love the way she present herself as a singer, maybe sometimes she is over but her songs categorized as updated music, and show the identity of herself. Second, the way she promoted her album. Ya..she is soooooooooooooo sexy, and I hate her at first because of the way she "sold" herself just to get million yen of her single. But thats the way she is and she didn't copy other singer's identity isn'it? Depends on herself to promote her album. Everyone hae their own strategy to sell their songs, but sometimes their strategy is annoying. Feel scary sometimes watching her posing with bra and almost naked. But,,ah,,ignore that. She is who she is. Not pretend to be somebody else. Third, she is soo cool! I love the way she dance, even she is a small, little singer, she can dance well with 5 inchs high heel! :sweat: Superb! And she close with smap too. Its hard to see other actress to be so close with smap. As long as I know, its Norika Fujiwara, Arisa Mezuki~Miho Kanno (of course she closer with smap! :hehe:). She can get along very well with SMAP, and I'm now in love with her pairing for 'Everybody' with Shingo.


Any other reason?

Hai...nani?

You make me curious... Why didn't you ask right away, already?? xD

I'll PM you okey :victory:

Ohayou minna!

I just finished watching this week sxs with nicholas cage. The way Nicholas Cage eats is so WEIRD. He practically cover his whole mouth everytime he puts food in his mouth. Reason being that he have not eaten in public before....so weird!!!

I was observing takuya and found that his face looks so "plastic" . Its like too much make up or something. Other members looks so natural.....

and they sang original smile! hehehe one of my favourite song from them....

Original smile?? I remember, someone in this thread also crazy about this song. But..dare?? :doh:

Original Smile is an awesome song. It's one of my old favorites.

also, I was speaking about finding some magazines featuring smap from long long ago from when I started liking them alot... i found my FIRST myojo I ever bought!! Along with some other old magazines. I will try to make some scans sometime this week and post them :dancing:

I just realized this..

last month Potato mag, there is smap short story inside it. Can anyone tell me, what is the story about? :bow:


Koichi so kawaii ne..my second choice after Shingo

Koda Kumi, huh ?
I first like her because she sang '1000 no kotoba' in FF X-2 - that song is excellent.
But when I saw some of her PVs that have sexy scene, I felt disappoint. I didn't like it.
Later, I realized that's her style, and when 'Yume no Uta' was release, I felt like her again.
But, Ai Otsuka always my ichiban :dancing:

But that's impossible for them to invite HYD2 cast, firstly because the drama is on a rival TV station, and secondly because Jun is a kouhai.

here is one of the scans I promised... i'll have a few more in a bit, i have to go take a shower since i just got back from the gym and i feel totally gross :bleh:

but enjoy, this is from Myojo April 1996, my first ever myojo I bought and the reason I completely fell in love with smap. the irony is i bought this myojo because there was a pinup of dohmoto Koichi as Ginro from ginro kaiki file that i loved... that led to my love of smap and tokio lol and of kinki kids too <333

ack it totally got resized!! for the actual size go here:

as promised, here are the pics of smap from the april myojo from 1996, the biggest reason I fell in love with them lol. Tsuyoshi's pic is STILL my favorite one of him ever! The one of goro made me fall in love with him and the one of takuya is too friggin adorable for his own good :bonk:
