Does anyone know if Yanie has made it back home safe and sound? I thought she left Japan last week but maybe I'm getting her confused with someone else.
YES! Tadaimaaa~~ I'm so sad, so sad, so sad.... how can I make myself happier in my own hometown rather than Japan, the dreamland??
Thank you for worrying about me, Nagisa!! missed you so much!*hugz* I missed talking about SMAP for several paragraphs in every post, with you girls here! Let's do that again!! xD
*off-topic*
jnoop, do you mean this new signature below? It's Hana no Ran [A Chaos of Flowers], 1994 NHK Taiga drama series. Ebizo and Matsu only appeared as the leads for 5 episodes or so. They played the roles as cousins, fell in love with each other, and got married. Then their roles were resumed with veteran actor and actress as the characters' adult versions. Funny, Ebizo and Matsu are real cousins in real-life, too^^ They went to the same kindergarten and highschool (Horikoshi, Goro and Tsuyoshi's highschool too).
Lately, I'm really into Ichikawa Ebizo and other young kabuki actors, hehe... =P _________________

Although I live in Japan, ive never went to their concerts so i always watch it on DVD...I wanna know how its different from watching it live and watching it on DVD..LOL XD where do you guys get the tickets from?!
Watching SMAP members LIVE with your own eyes, listening to their voices LIVE with your own ears is 10,0000000000000000 times better.... believe me^^ Somehow they look and sound so PERFECT when I see them with my own eyes xD And I never experience concerts, so I imagine concerts impacts would be even more huge^^
If you live in Japan, you have to be a member of johnny's smap fan club to get the tickets. There's a guide how to register to the FC in every SMAP CD. 5000yen first time register, then you have to pay 4000yen every year, if you want to continue to be a member.
For those who live outside Japan, I think some fans get their tickets in many ways, like auctions, or trade with japanese fans. _________________

You're one lucky girl, good for you living in Japan. As for me, only my great wish to see SMAP (and my ichiban) and sheer guts helped me got tickets in the previous concerts. And that entailed studying Nihongo to get by while there and mustered enough courage to venture going there without tickets but relying on the positive thoughts that I could get one , and I did! because being an overseas fan is difficult to become a fanclub member.
And though I also got the concert DVDs too, it's as Yanie said-that it's 10,0000000000000 (nth power) DIFFERENT! One will really feel their oozing appeals and great talents as well as the unique atmosphere/awesome experience while the concert's goin on - as Takuya said before on women who used binoculars even if they were at the arena seats already and near the stage, why use these when the sense of continuity is disrupted (the view is not free-flowing), meaning confined to see only what can be seen through the eyepiece. Just like watching in LIVE concerts, once can see everything going on in the stage, unlike what's only seen by the cameramen as reproduced in DVDs. However, DVDs are also good because these offer remembrance of the event, because even one shot of a photo can't be taken inside the concert venue-very strict on that. _________________

Thank you very much for your reply and help, Yanie-chan. Sounds rather difficult and expensive. I bet there would be many more fans, if SMAP would be more accessible to non-Japanese fans.

haha... I'm not sure myself. When I watched Goro's stageplay, sitting on the 3rd row from the front, I was too shocked to see Goro so clear like that, so I got busy trying to convince myself that it was not a dream, I can't even remember clearly of Goro's face that time, lol. But I remember that I usually hate it when Goro slick back his wet hair. But when I see him on stage with his hair like that, he still looked incredibly handsome to me.

Dunno about the others' experiences, but for me they are larger than life and I must say, why do they all look so handsome, better than in photos. I must say when I watched my initial concert, I was taken in by Goro, gosh he looked so suave and debonaire on stage (I asked forgiveness to my ichiban Though all of them really looked good, even if they were already perspired and their hair clung to their scalp because of wetness due to perspiration, they managed to look good, one you won't shy away from.
Ganbatte, go for it girl, it's still a long time for the concert, hopefully there's one. _________________

Okaerinasai! Missed you bunches, too. Of course I'm going to worry when my Smappie dai sempai doesn't check in I'm sorry you had to leave Japan but it sounds like you have taken some wonderful memories back home with you. I have my fingers crossed for the day you can return to Japan and when all Smappies can meet up at a concert.

Oh man, I know. I can go on and on about how great that drama is. Seriously, even if Goro isn't a very kakkoi character (although he does look cute as a megane otoko) his performance is so earnest and sincere. The story and all the supporting actors/actresses are really good. Stupid Gokusen 2...I still can't believe that won awards On the plus side I got my nechan hooked on Goro by showing her M no Higeki and now she might me on her way to becoming a full Smappie

Well he is my ichiban so of course I think he's kakoii. Actually, I thought he was unbelievably handsome when he was in his 20's and now he's so cute. Goro-chan doesn't age like a normal person...he keeps getting more and more kawaii as he gets older, haha.

nAkAi mAsAhIrO aI sHitEru yo~~~
On the 5th,, which is also Some Girl Smap (Nakai radio show)'s SMAP Special.. Yeah,, Nakai mentioned a lot about SMAP,, about how they are formed, about they feel so free before they debut, coz they dun have a manager yet that time, and they dun have their own drivers to take them..
Their debut single doesnt take the champion position in the Oricon chart and Johnny scolded them.. So did the second, which is #10. Nakai think that time,, "Ah~~ So this is our resultz ne!!," But he really din care much about the chart, he only think that be happy is important~~
What else?? Erm,, ya, he mentioned that he like talking from earlier times, so thatz y he choose MC as his job.. When SMAP debut, some of the music shows stopped, only left MS.. And he joined some of the TV shows which makes him interested in hosting shows. But he dun really like filming some short skitz, thatz bored!!
Best Friend,, Nakai dun like nor hate that song.. But that song contain of so much memory..
At the beginning of the show, SHoufutei san called and asked about Nakai's favourite color and his size of his shoes.. But that naughty guy just keep talking in circles and tell nothing at the end. Keep laughing non-stop.. He even asked Shoufutei san to find the Myojo issues 15 years ago~~ LOL,, dun need,, just go and see the 004 album... His size is 24.5 cm... I really wanna give him a punch~~ But,, he's so kawaii.. The way he laugh... _________________

Heh, well he was actually underweight for his height back then. Some of his younger pictures from 12 years back he looks like a lolipop. I think he gained weight because he's a lot happier than he used to be and maybe he quit smoking...although I can't confirm that. He definitely looks a lot happier though. He smiles and laughs way more than he used to and it shows in his eyes. Goro-chan is so kawaii now
