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

I agree with that too. He does look alot happier. I think he got funnier too. LOL i dont remember him being so silly on shows 10 yrs ago. He had a more "cool" and serious attitude..well thats just what i think haha

[ off topic ]

do any of you in this forum watch the new dorama "last friends" ? I personnally think its a interesting dorama haha XD

I haven't been around much, gomen nasai Nihongo ga benkyo shimashita kara I'm getting ready for my conversation with Shingo

Okay, I went to 2 concerts in 2006 and at first they do look larger then life! I think I was in shock for about a minute when they first came out on stage. Then I got teary. I got my tickets through Japanese-speaking friends who helped with auctions. The 1st time I saw them was in Tokyo and Takuya sang almost the whole chorus with me and Tsuyopon blew me a kiss! I had a great seat 2nd row on the side. When Shingo came around on the trolley, I could've jumped out and grabbed him! I SHOULD'VE!

They are really very handsome men. Goro is flawless! He is beautiful! Shingo is huge! He's tall and big, not fat but he's a big man! Just perfect! Shingo is perfect! Leada smiles all the time. They didn't look super thin like I thought they would. They have nice bodies. Even Tsuyopon is small but has a nice body. Did I mention how perfect Shingo is!

The concerts have a life of their own. It's like the energy flows from the fans to SMAP and from SMAP to the fans. You can really feel it. You can feel how much they love being their and how much they want you to enjoy the show. I hope every SMAPPIE can see at least one show. Your love for them will just grow so much deeper!

The only thing about the concert is the fear of being thrown out because if you're not a club member, they can do that. I think that puts a damper on things a bit. Although when Shingo took off his shirt, I didn't care and was screaming like a mad woman! I was the only one in that area doing that. Most of the woman that were they didn't do anything was look through their binoculars at Takuya.

(1) That was what happened to me the first time. I was so enthralled by how the audience interact with the song numbers done by SMAP, there came a point that I stopped looking for a while at the stage and just watched the nice swaying various colors of the penlight of the audience, they are in unison in hand movements with most songs, especially the song "Sekai ni Hitotsu Dake no Hana" with the hand movements, I was so amazed, the fans/audience did the same actions as SMAP so I studied that movement in the DVD and learn the song, and next time I watched the ensuing year, I was able to sing and do the hand movements together with them

(2) Frankly, I was at my wits end when I entered the concert venue the 1st time because of the many horror stories I've read that happened to fans who are not fanclub members, that they got thrown out if they are not the FC members holding the tickets. But I wanted so much to experience a SMAP concert, so I overcame that fear and hoped for the best. First hurdle-to enter the venue but shocks, I was stopped because even bottled water was not allowed but I was together with other Japanese girls who drank their sodas & bottled water then we were allowed to enter leaving the bottles at the door. I was obvious since I speak English but it was no problem, I was even accompanied where my seat was, maybe I was taken in as an expat living there/whatever - good thing because I was easily allowed to pass the long tables where there were bag checkers (looking for cameras, etc.).
The feeling of being able to finally enter the venue and to see the stage is kind of surreal for me, & I just had to contain my happiness because I wanted to shout "This is it! this is not a dream, I'm about to see SMAP live in a few minutes" & I'd say from beginning to end, for me there was never a lull moment, I dare not blink so as not to miss a step, a move, an antic, and a smile

Trailer for I Come with the Rain Takuya's upcoming movie. I'm really excited by it I must say; it looks like the type of movie I'd watch even if he wasn't in it :-)

Warning--bloody and a bit violent.

Short summary for last Monday's SPORT-special, a hilarious clip where everyone tortures Goro and a full 10-minute medley with Jpop-princess Utada Hikaru.

Nakai was spotted drinking with friends last weekend, if I can trust my sources. And he was with a pretty woman too

Hi! I've been reading this forum for a long time now and finally decided to post
I don't know other Smap fans here were I live, although some of my friends like couple Smap songs, so this forum has been fun to read ^_^
_________________

Elaine, I know ;p
Nakai's always been a playboy. He's it just a different way than Goro and doesn't end up in every damn magazine because he's fought in a public place or something as clever
Sure he's had. Heck, I bet half of Japan would welcome the man in open arms ^^
(I would too. We had a pretty interesting discussion with a friend yesterday, actually. It ended up about something that had I a chance right now, I'd go back to Japan right away and try to get Okamoto Kenichi because he's on the market right now ^^ And he said that he wouldn't mind going out with Nakai because seriously he's so cool. And the boy is so straight otherwise SMAPped!)


J382, welcome.
I actually am in Finland right now and my Finnish might be tolerable (to some extent..) so if you want to chat, don't be scared to throw me a PM.

Shingo: With Kusanagi, it won't be able to identify what sound that is.
Tsuyoshi: Why? It's not available?
Shingo: There will be an error message like that.
Tsuyoshi: So it's from "profession"?
Shingo: Nope, not profession, either.
Tsuyoshi: What? It'll be rejected too?

Shingo needs serious help x) He kept mentioning "Yuko-chan, Yuko-chan" in SmaStation and radio programs! Poor Shingo x) And I really love Tsuyoshi here, for once he acted like a big brother, "It's a job! There's nothing you can do!". Ii kanji... he's so understanding and comforting. He was really understanding Shingo's worries.
Shingo opened the window and waved to behind just because he realized Takeuchi's car was behind, in high speed too! Isn't that dangerous?! xD He's acting like an elementary school boy falling in love for the first time He needs help to separate Eiji character from his body soon x)

Tsuyoshi got scared with the software update!! LOL! He cancelled the software update offers, coz he's scared to update it for free!! hahaha, so funny! And he couldn't transfer the new 3 pictures. So everytime he has new pictures, he'll transfer all of the old pictures once again to his PC? Haha... so he always use the "Select All" function? lol!! No wonder Shingo asked how many more memory he got in his PC, lol.
It's funny that despite the fact Shingo graduated the lowest education, but he's the smartest one when it comes to computer^^

Oh, Shingo is not into taking pictures, just like me! I understand that feeling, counting on our own memory and feelings as memories^^

Shukan Bunshun is reporting an interesting happening occurred during the recording of SMAP's TV show. According to it, SMAP invited a world-famous musician to their TV show, SMAPxSMAP last month. And in this show, they collaborated and performed their representative song together. Then, the guitarist of the group got angry about the quality of SMAP's singing, and he suddenly stopped playing the guitar and left the stage. Then, other member from TO... no, the world-famous progressive rock group calmed his anger, and he came back, and the recording took place. However, before members of SMAP sing, they had to take a one-hour vocal lesson from him. Why did Steve Lukather get angry about SMAP?...Maybe he was introduced SMAP by their agent or the producer of the show, 'You are going to perform with one of Japanese representative singers!!' 'How does their music like?' 'Well... well, Japanese Backstreet Boys!!'...The agent or producer should explain a little more: 'They are Japanese Backstreet Boys, but in Japan, you know, people need songs for karaoke. Hence, they are not so good as singers. So, please wink at their singing. ' Or, he or she should explain, SMAP stands for 'Sports Music Assembly People', sports come first, and Music arrives later....

Domo arigatou yanie-chan. I'm so happy for you! You're so good in Nihongo now, (how I wish I have the time and chance to study further too, but work is so demanding with an equally demanding boss).
You share your knowledge to your fellow Smappies by your translations and it's such a great help. Keep it up!

Yanie chan,

You are amazing with the radio translation. thank so much. If you can ever have time to do a Kimura san Friday night radio show I would be in heaven. I try to listen even in Japanese just to hear his voice......

I donno if its just me..but the whole shingo always saying Yuko's pretty and always mentioning her seems like he's doing on purpose..like not from his heart...but at the same time it seems like he really means it. I know that whenever he says that Yuko chan is really pretty he means it because I mean, she is beautiful. But he always talks about her and it seems so....fake. Like he's trying to get people to think something. Something he's doing on purpose kinda of thing. XD maybe he's trying to play with the media or something. :S

Wooh... bingo! That's what I've been started to think too. When it was still in SmaStation, I still think he's sincere about it. But then, after so many times in the radio... I started to think, "What is this? You're doing it too much!!".
FYI, I heard from another fan in Japan, Shingo mentioned Yuko again in his article corner in the MYOJO magazine that's just released today. He said he got a birthday present from Yuko during the drama's filming^^

I don't know... is it to show his act of rebellion? Or will another Nakai-Koda case show up? (just to pretend in front of public)

You're right... the bimyou part is... "like not from his heart...but at the same time it seems like he really means it."
