I m a SMAP fanz since 1995. That time I alwayz watch [I Love SMAP], then only [SMAPxSMAP]. I din know Mori left SMAP in the beginning, only after 1 or 2 weeks, coz I don understand any Japanese that time. When I get to know, whoa, me so sad, always tot that he can come back soon, but its impossible. That time, all the news says that SMAP will be disband & i m so afraid they did so.. Luckily they didn't and stay until now..
Bout Kimura's marriage, its really a BIG BIG news, all the newspaper articles r all bout that, I really cant understand y Kimura wanna married Kudo, stil have many pretty woman waiting for him. N this makes his popularity getting lower.. But its his choice, so the only thing i can do is only to continue support him..
Goro's incident, in 2001, SMAP's 10th anniversary, they r having concert when it happens, their 10th anniversary become so sad, some of the fanz dun wanna go for the 5-1 concert, although they had oredi bought a ticket. Everyone become so worried bout that, would SMAP become 4? That's another time that makes me worried.. Some even say that SMAP will disband. I really wanna cry out loud.. :shamefulcry:
But luckily Goro return after 143 days, the time when Nakai says [THIS WEEK WE ARE WITH 4 PERSON, NEXT WEEK WE'LL BE BACK TO 5], whoa, I am really happy with that. :applaud:
From that time onwards, there's no news saying that SMAP will disband, hope that they will have another 15 yearsc

These are informations from THE PAST, not really important anymore now. But, I thought I'll share this information to those who has just become a SMAP fan, recently... Coz I'm also one of those who is late in becoming a Smappy^^
I became a Smappy in October 2002. While, the 3 Biggest Incidents in SMAP history happened in 1996, 2000 and 2001. So, I missed all the uproars during those years. And, hopefully...I will never experience any similar incidents now, as a SMAP fan^^ It'd probably too much to take for me... x)
In 1996, Mori Katsuyuki left SMAP. SMAP was rumoured disbanding because of this. A SMAP fan who has been one since 1994-1995 told me, how she felt that the world has come to an end when she heard the news in the radio. She is a Nakai-ichiban and Mori-niban, that time. So you can imagine how shocked she was to hear the news. For 1 week, she didn't feel like eating anything, due to the shock. Coz all these time, she believed that SMAP will always be a 6-member group. What's going to happen now that they're down to 5?
Furthermore...it happened so sudden. Even Nakai heard about this the first time from his manager. He was shocked that Mori didn't say a thing to him nor to the other members. He immediately called Mori's house, but Mori was not there, and it was his father who answered the phone. Nakai asked this to his father and he said, it's true.
When he finally get to meet Mori, Nakai asked him, "Don't you have us?? Why didn't you discuss it first with us? Why did you decide it all by yourself?". He must be very sad to hear this.
Being an autocar racer, has always been Mori's dream since childhood. He coincidentally saw a racer qualification test announcement and the age limit is 22 years old. That year, he will soon be 22, so he thought he should take the test and not missing the opportunity. And, he actually passed the test.
Many asked, why did he has to leave SMAP? Why can't he become a racer AND stay in SMAP?
This is purely fans speculations/rumours: he took the test without informing/asking permission to the Johnny's agency. This has caused Johnny felt offended/angry, thus he fired Mori and want him to leave the group. So, Mori probably intended to two-time the jobs...but...
However, there's another version said, that Mori did decide this by himself. And still, Johnny felt offended and forbid the other members to attend his press conference. But, Nakai didn't listen and he came afterall, to the conference, representating all SMAP members, to show him that though they're very sad, but they support Mori's decision. Nakai even said, he respect Mori's decision...since he always wanted to become a baseball player, but he can never really achieve this childhood dream of his^^
A year later, Mori actually got the 1st place in a racing competition^^ He got married in 1998 and he has a son. I'm not sure, how many kids he has now, though. Well...I guess, the bright side is...he got a peaceful life with his family as an ordinary man^^
Although, Mori has left SMAP, he still contact them sometimes. He called Kimura to congratulate him on his baby birth.
Also, in 2001, SMAP was also rumoured disbanding due to Goro's traffic violation. From 6 down to 5 and now to 4??? At this time around, Mori actually called Shingo, coz he was worried with the situation. He said, "Will the 4 of you be alright in Nagoya concert?? Do you want me to help? But I only remember the dance steps of Aoi Inazuma,". I think that's really sweet of him, to worry about SMAP, though he has been apart from them for 5 years.
Well, they've been together since 1988. Being together for 8 years with SMAP, must give him some kind of bond with the other members.
About Goro's incident in 2001, I think there are alot of informations about that circulating the net, so most of you must know the details already^^
