minna-san.. my friend was telling me that alot of johhny entertainment artiste lip-synch.. is it true?

i personally dont believe smap lip-synch.. because there's always differences in all their performances.. like the singing style and the beat

however.. i do know many younger batch of JE artistes who lip-synch.. that's y im not in favour of the younger batch.. i love the senpai(includes smap) more!

its mainly saying that shizuka used to smoke alot alot(like takuya) but she quitted it already.. mainly becos takuya hates woman who smoke..
they further mentioned that shizuka had done many many sacrifices for takuya..
its not easy to resist the temptation to smoke when the husband is forever smoking..

Well, we've already discussed this before, and most SMAPPIES believe that SMAP hasn't done any lip-sync. I can't explain again, but believe it. They're multi-talented, ne ?

oooo! That is good news! I didn't know this! I do know that Shizuka has made many sacrifices for Kimura. I know for a while she gave up running her store, and then her dog didn't live in the Kimura household for some reason, it stayed with her parents home. And I know she didn't release any singles for the longest time, until recently. But I wonder what if he has ever made any sacrifices for her? Hm...... :grumble:

HIEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!! MAJI DE?!!??!?! Huaaaa....why didn't they include that on the DVD???!! :puppydog: Did any Smappies capture those moments with their camera or sumthin'??? Hikss... :shamefulcry:

Haha, Kimura rolled his eyes?? He's jealous? :hehe:


Ne, Vanessa, Shingo came to Koda Kumi's concert too, right? Do you find any video clips on that?? I WANNA SEE!!!^0^ I really love Shingo-Kumi combi's rapping and dancing performance!!! KAKKOIIII!! Maybe they should release Everybody as a single, so they can perform it again and again in many music shows and can also release the PV!!! heehee...

Please tell me, if anyone find the clips on Shingo-Kumi's performance in Koda Kumi's concert, ne!! Or maybe I should go to Koda Kumi's thread and ask?? x)

My expectation for next year's concert is: Kimura's solo featuring Matsu Takako!!!! haha! :hehe:
Hopefully, Hero The Movie's themesong is a duet of them!! Muri dakedo :hehe:

I have looked for ages for the Shingo apperance with Koda in her show, but I guess it was a suprise concert for a limited number of fans and tons of press. He was on stage for four songs but only song everybody with her. Can you imagine if you were there? I wouldn't pay any attention to Kuu and instead watch Shingo on the sidelines. ^^;;;;;;;; And Shingo isn't even my favorite! But that pairing is so cool, good exposure for the both of them!

Do you think with Matsu's latest single that the song could have some meaning towards Kimura? Esp. the english bits? I downloaded her video and was a little bored, too many kids and her staring into the camera gets a little akward after a while. Wouldn't it just be the COOLEST if Kimura did a cameo in her video, like her holding him, singing to him, but they hide his face, but you KNOW it's him, because of his skin color and hair?

:shocked: I don't think so, because when Nakai sings, and he's singing LIVE, you know. YOU CAN'T MISTAKE THAT FOR A BACKING TAPE! :mrgreen: :woot:

Well, definitely not in concerts. Senpais don't usually lip-synch in concerts especially SMAP & KinKi Kids. SMAP for the Nakai reason coz' if they lip-synch it will be obvious. KK because they have the best singer in JE (Tsuyoshi Dohmoto) so if he lip-synch, people will notice. Younger generation of JE lip-synch MOST of the time in concerts, particularly 2 groups that shall not be named. Kanjani8 don't lip-synch however, the reason is the same as KK, they have one of the best younger singers in JE (Subaru), and most of their singles involve ad-libbing a lot, so they always sing live.

Wow! You think so, as well? I always thought both Tsuyoshi's (Kinki Kids and SMAP) were two of the best singers in the Jimusho.

Minna just wanna share something with you all, i just purchased 5 more books of bistro smap recipes....

And apparently there is going to be a new release on the bistro smap recipe book!! Im gonna get my hands on those too!

I dont like singers who lip-synch, i prefer them to sing naturally and it they made a mistake its fine with me. Even if they are out of tune, im totally fine with it, at least its genuine....

Wah! How much did it cost you? :puppydog: I bought one once, and mande an attempt to cook and just about killed my kitchen. So instead I buy for just the pictures.

VanessaAyukawa wrote:First off that is just so COOL that you were able to do this!

Haha....thanks to Qnuy, who INSIST that we have to watch it together and on a big screen too!!!^^ The atmosphere is way too different than watching on our 21 inch TV alone in the room.... LOL! If I watch it alone, I don't think it would trigger me to do crazy stuffs, like kissing the screen...haha!

VanessaAyukawa wrote:I just sooooo floored at the idea of a big screen! THAT IS JUST SO COOL.

Oh, ask Qnuy who put on her 3D glasses on the 3D movies. With that big screen, it was like a virtual world!!! Haha.... Its really as if Tsuyoshi flew to her... But when she watch on her own TV, it doesn't feel like that.
Aargh....I regret not bringing the 3D glasses last Sunday!!! :banghead:

VanessaAyukawa wrote:Do you know all those SMAP fans in real life, I mean all those SMAP fans live close to each other? How did planning go about? Did anyone from freebird go to this?

Yes, some I already know them for 3,5 years already and I often go to her house, some I already know since last year (like Qnuy) and we meet often(like last Sat, we celebrate Goro's bday together), some I just met on that very day, coz they're new members of our forum (*cough* You know that forum that caused me got a little trouble with another Smappy xD *cough*).

Some live close to each other. Around 6-7 Smappies that day came from out of town. But even if they live faraway, 1-2 of them chat with Smappies in Jakarta almost everyday xD Gatherings and Smappies chats are really addictive, once you do it, you will want more....and if your personality/characteristics match theirs, then you might not want to separate from them too long. Somehow, lately, 6-8 of us had a gathering every week :sweat:

Planning? What do u mean? Well, mostly its me, Qnuy and another 5-6 Smappies who took care of the Cinema Room's reservation. But it didn't take an organizing committee for this.

Actually we had done quite big gatherings, twice....that we aim for those who don't know Smappies will come to love them, after watching the SMAP shows I edited(the most interesting parts). Where some Smappies also come from out of town. And we made these little merchandise by ourselves, and give it in souvenir bags like SMAP guidebook, SmaCourt VCD, SMAP badges/pins, etc. And the souvenir bags has five colors: blue, red, pink, yellow and green. We had games and quizzes, to giveaway SMAP t-shirts, pins, mugs(that we print with SMAP animated pics, ourselves). These ones took a big organizing commitee (abt 15 smappies).

But then, I started to think that printing those merchandise by ourselves is kinda illegal...even if we don't sell it, we only give it away for free. But I'm still worried with JE's policy and Japanese law. So, I asked them, what if we stop doing these big stuff temporarily....? They agreed.
Even though I'm myself who come out with that opinion. I still miss organizing these SMAP gatherings and put on the show. Laughing together with 50-60 other people is just ....different. And the joy of organizing it coz I laughed together with other Smappies while working on the guidebook...

I would LOVE to invite Smappies abroad sometimes....haha.... But would you come to Jakarta?? :hehe: I doubt it, ne. But my dream is to make a Smappies Unofficial Fan Club for South East Asia. And we can have an annual gathering in Singapore, Jakarta, KL, Bangkok, Manila, etc. That would be exciting, no??^^

And again, if that happens...I don't know whether or not Iijima would approve something unofficial like that x)

Oh no, what am I doing....rambling like this xD Sumimaseeeen.......

kimura was probably thinking "shingo, get off my goro!!" :rofl:

Oh no, don't get me started!! Almost every Matsu's songs I'll link it to Kimura! haha! And almost every Kimura's solos I'll link it to Matsu! LOL! Just yesterday I had an argument with another KimuraMatsu fan, I said Kimi ga Iru must be a song for Matsu. But she didn't agree, she said it is MOAI which is for Matsu!! LOL! Crazy fans!
