Hee... he went on the 22nd?? And I went on the 24th??! Waaa.... oshiiii~~~!!! So close!! xD

Haha... omg!! I did that too! Fortunately, none of behind me complains, LOL! xD I mean, when you see Goro LIVE, you just HAVE TO move a bit more forward, desho!! LOL! LOL!
So apparently Tsuyoshi is secretly, a big fan of Goro too??

The big pair of lips on the hat are the number of times they've won in tens while the small lips represent single digit wins. So if the big pair of lips says "80" and they have 9 small lips on their hat they have a total of 89 wins. On the next win the big pair of lips will say "90" and there will be no small lips.

The number on the lips on the shoulder is the total amount of wins since SmaSma began. Eventually the total from the hat will be added to the total on the shoulder. I think they do that after Bistro King but they haven't had a Bistro King competition in awhile.

oooh yanie, i LOVE your long essays. you really know how to show us yoru experience. your reaction to how surprisingly handsome goro looksin real life just made me sooo happy! it means that goro's still got it.

I read the blog of Goro's costar, Kawahara-san, who was also a derector of Tsu's play in last year. He said they(goro, tsu and he) went to Yakinikuya and drunk together after the play. According to him, during the play, Tsuyoshi was seeing their acting with his body thrust forward and was told not to do that by the person behind him. Kawahara-san said to Tsuyoshi " You don't have the aura of Stars." And Goro said " Kimura-kun would't be told such a thing!" Tsuyoshi brightly replied, "So-dayone-(That's what I thought)" Didn't the person behind him notice he is Tsuyoshi? So funny.

Thanks Oyabin and Yanie for first hand information on what happens in Japan. I really envy you guys and thank you two for sharing the information with us!

By the way Oyabin, because you have mentioned that you are taking part in this forum to improve your English, I would like to be part of the process. Really admire your drive to learn English. If I were a Japanese and a fan of SMAP, I wouldn't bother to participate in English forums. I would just concentrate on the Japanese forums where there will probably be much more information and pictures. So here's my two cents worth, it may be a typo error on your part, but its "director" and not "derector". I think it's the way you guys pronounce it in Japan because I've seen many stars call their directors "dee-rector" instead. Yeap, sorry if I sound preachy but I just want to try to help


To all Kimura Matsu fans out there who can read Chinese or understand Japanese, there is a clip on Youtube with Kimura answering questions regarding Matsu Takako. I will just summarise some things he said. He said he doesn't hang out much or do other stuff with Matsu Takako in his private life but he has a lot of connection with her, such as working with her father and brother before, it's a relationship that's very hard to explain.

He also commented about her hair. Well..... in my opinion, I think he's just being very nice about it. You have to watch it to understand.

What makes me the happiest about this clip is that they played the song from Love Generation, which I must emphasise again- LOVE GENERATION IS MY FAVOURITE DORAMA OF ALL TIME. So this clip makes me happy.

Yeah, if I were a Japanese, I'll do that too!^^

I salute oyabin's enthusiasm too. Not to mention, she's been sooooo kind and helpful to me!! She's as yasashii as Tsuyoshi!!

Yaaa.... thank you for the link!!! Haha.... looks like Kimura doesn't really like girls with short-hair? That's why Kudo never cut her hair short??

Iyadaaaaa~~ Kimura held the female announcer's hand so long!!!!>_<

Uwaaa... natsukashiii ne, to hear that song!!^0^ haha, today my class learned the kanji of "hansei" (to reflect on). It reminds me immediately of LOVE GENERATION, coz that's where the first time I heard/learned this word, heehee...

Zephyr!! Quiz for you! Can you guess from which scene and which episode the word "hansei" was? Hint: A cute Teppei-Riko scene... No cheating! lol!

@ Simone
Can I go too Simone? I read here that you are planning to go to a SMAP concert with the rest of the smappies. Wish I could go too. So I better start buying lotto tickets ne? BTW i caught a show on NHK last Friday night and it featured a lady singer who looked like Shizuka. I said she looked like Shizuka because of her eyebrows look hair and facial features based on the few performances of Shizuka I 've watched on Youtube. Gosh she sings really well and is so skinny, her clothes were really fabulous and feminine. Can any one confirm this or was it someone who just looks like her? Lol

@ Yanie- thank you so much for your detailed report on Goro's theater performance. Its like I'm almost there. Goro is my ni-ban after my love Takuya although I love every SMAP member cause each one has their own endearing qualities.

@ Elaine- thank you for the pix of takuya so cute with his hat. I really love this man. *drool, faint, drool*

Oh! thank you very much for your teaching, zephyrscarlet!
I am so bad at spelling I often make a mistake. Probably you're right, it must be because of the Japanese-like pronouciation. We call it Japanglish, haha. For the people who are studying English, Japanglish is very annoying.

And, Yanie-chan, thank you for your word. It's my presure. I was very happy when I heard you got the ticket of Goro's play.

BtW, I have a question., its kind of an off-topic, though, I was very surprised all of you write excellent English. I know in Philippines and Singapore, English is one of main languages, desho? But, in other countries, most of people speak and write English so well as you?
Or are you special in Malasia, Indonesia, Thailand or other countries?
In Japan, we all study English in schools for a long time, but you know, most of people can't speak English. I have been wondering about that.
If you have time, please tell me your opinions.

Speaking of SMAP, Tonight's SxS's guests are models of JJ or some magazine(I don't know their names. One of them is the girl who was in Hana yori dango as a fiance of MatsuJun). And Rokuro (ceramic making), Kimura's magician skit and Tabidachi no Uta. Tanoshimi desu.

Ne Oyabin,, for me who is a Malaysian,, or for the Bruneian Chinese.. (U know Brunei?? The neighbour of Malaysia..) We learn Chinese, English and Malay in our school times.. They are all our BASIC languages.. As for the important examinations, such as Grade 3 or Grade 5..English and Malay is a MUST PASS,, if either of it fail, then u have to re-study for that level for another one year.. Ne~~ if wanna find a job in Brunei here,, these 3 languages is important.. LOL,, I can write well,, but NOT talk well,, I alwayz have my pronouncation problems... Not really sure in Malaysia,, I din work there b4,, but I know the standard there is a lot higher than in Brunei.. In Singapore,, not mistaken they only care for the English,, some of my friends who are Singaporeans talk excellent English,, but not Chinese..

Me now learning Japanese,, haha~~ but I seldom use them,, no one have a conversations with me..

Back to topic,, I'm so excited that they sing Tabidachi no Uta,, the first time they perform in the show,, deshou?? I wonder how is it.. Btw,, have anyone here watch ALL the episodes of sxs?? From 1996 until now???

Thank you for your reply, ELAINE.
I know Brunei, of course, but only know the name, is very rich country and that the price invited Micheal Jacson to his birthday party, dayone?
So-ka, for me learning English is very loooong way. I have to write and read a lot in my work.

I think I watched almost all episodes of SxS. Because I hadn't been such an ardent fan as now until I watched Bok no Ikiru Mich in 2003, I skipped some episodes and didn't record them. But whenever I was in home, I always watch the program. Over 10 years? they have been popular soooo long.
