if you know SMAP (the musical, acting.. variety group, made up of kimura takuya, inagaki goro, nakai masahiro, and kusanagi tsuyoshi)
then you should know SMAP X SMAP is their variety show.
they do various skits, hmm.. they have a cook off (with special guests), and they sing also.
its kind of like Saturday Night Live, but it centers on Smap

quite interesting at times.. especially when the special guests are interesting.. and hilarious.. but sometimes it's only good for people who really love smap..

Bistro SMAP:

they are available to download at womby's MM BT site.
the link is on the first page of the Buy, sale part of the forum. should be like the first or second thread "Bittorrent sites" (something like that).

and no, they aren't english subtitled (there might be a few that are fansubbed) but i've never come across any.

there are episodes of Smap x Smap that are chinese subbed.. (if you know chinese)

Not that I know of. I picked up this particular disc of Ryoko-chan on Bistro SMAP from eBay... And the disc didn't work: I had to remaster it...

And here's the description of SMAP from japan-zone.com: http://www.japan-zone.com/modern/smap.shtml
