You are so funny Akakage :rofl:


Helene... You'd get a better chance writing it in Japanese. I'm sure some of them might be able to read some English. Although do you really think they read all their fan mail?

Hehe.. :beaten: since she shouted..so, I shouted back? :hehe: yeah, I think some of them can read just a simple English. Maybe the read their fan mail..or their manager or assistant..who knows.. :hehe:

Well... I don't know anyone who is able to write a letter in Japanese here in France ...
Anyway, I guess u're right : I don't think any of the boys has the time to read the letters they receive, even the ones they get from Europe ... Though I don't think they get so many admirers here in France !?

I got this mailing address :
Johnny's family club
ebisu-minami 1-11-15
Shibuya-ku
Tokyo 150 , Japan

is it a reliable address ?

another question if you don't mind:
Do TOKIO or SMAP or any other group play concerts often in Japan ? every year ? and how often do they do tv shows ?

have a nice day !

not sure about the rest, but i know crystal kay and m-flo does :rolleyes:

Because Crystal Kay's fan-base is not so large actually. People may have heard her songs, but people are still catching onto her. She also doesn't get to do the whole interview thing on HEY!HEY!HEY! or Utaban like other artists on a friggin' 5 month basis. I hope she gets there one day and can make regular appearances!

true that its not a big hit as the jboybands, but m-flo is goin on fire right now, they hit the top 3 when their 3rd album was released but as for CK shes busy right now too, she just recently graduated high school and ready for college ;)

I don't know about TOKIO, but I can answer some questions about SMAP. SMAP always has concert tours every year since 1992, although there's no definite date about this year's concert. Their weekly TV show is SMAPxSMAP, aired every Monday, now in it's 8th year. Nakai appears almost every day in other variety shows like Utaban & Waratte Iitomo, either as host or guest. Tsuyoshi has Chonan Kan TV show, and Goro has so many other shows this year alone. Shingo and Goro have their SmaStation, another TV show. These are all besides doramas. Any other smappy wants to add?

well, for concert this year, they will have to wait for Nakai to go back to Japan from Athens(for the Games). have not heard anything about their album, so their concert may well be in Nov or Dec. there are lots of variety shows for them. you can check out websites for their schedule...can't post any here coz the bookmarks are at home. hope this helps. :)

Most of the groups in Johnny's have at least one variety show in which all the members are in and then the individual members appear in other variety shows.

As far as concerts I know Smap, Kinki Kids, Tokio & V6 have at least one tour a year. Sometimes two.

Thanx for your explanations ! I learn every day ! :mrgreen:

What is Nakai doing in Athens ?

How to get posted about the boys' concert ?

I might go to Japan next Spring and I'd really like to go to ( at least ) 1 concert of Smap or/and Tokio ( and others ... hopefully !! ) , I'm getting more and more interested in Japanese music .

about the tv shows, I've heard that people can come to the recordings !? ( that must be fun ) , is it true ?

thanx !

I believe he's doing reports for one of the TV stations.

Normally, schedules are posted on various fansites as well as official website. Also, sometimes they show the schedules on the groups variety shows. If you are going to use a travel agent you might want to ask him/ her if it would be possible to get tickets for you.

thanx !

Yes, for example Waratte Iitomo has a studio audience, but as far as I know, you need to write in for tickets.

I didn't know that Nakai was also a "journalist" ! :mrgreen:

What is waratte Iitomo ? what is it about and with who ?
( forgive my ignorance ) :bonk:

Waratte Iitomo is a daily variety show on Fuji TV. It is one of the most longest running and popular variety shows in Japan which is hosted by Tamori. 3 of the members of Smap (Nakai, Shingo & Tsuyoshi) are on this show on different days along with other various geinojin.

thanx !!!

Is SMAPXSMAP on Fuji tv as well ?
how many tv channels do u have in Japan ?

nakai was in athens to report for the games.

fans can go into the studio for recording. friends who have been to the concerts have seen them in the canteen before. :)
