SMAP is (as if you didn't know):

• Kimura Takuya - aka KimuTaku, Taku-chan
• Nakai Masahiro - the leader
• Inagaki Goro - aka Goro-chan
• Kusanagi Tsuyoshi - aka Tsuyopon
• Katori Shingo - aka Shingo-chan (sometimes referred to as 'Shingo-mama'!!)

Mori Katsuyuki left in 1995 to pursue a career in motorcycle racing.

SMAP remains Japan's most successful (and best selling) boy band and their popularity shows no signs of waning. In fact, SMAP fever has already spread far and wide across the globe. SMAP is everywhere - TV, commercials, radio, print, concerts and so much more!

Can't get enough of these guys? Spread the SMAP lovin' then!!

dami na may gusto kay takuya...kaya si shingo na lang ako. hehe. magaling kasi syang actor, lalo na sa shinsengumi.

by the way, did you see their duet with the backstreet boys? galing ni shingo! he can really hold his own against brian. kimutaku, on the other hand, sounded a little off. parang ipit ang boses. but in fairness to him, only a handful of peopld can look that hot in kermit green pants! coolness! in case you haven't seen the video of the smapstreet boys, here's the link to youtube. enjoy!!

believe when shingo says, 'i want it that way'. ha, that cracked me up!

Masahiro Nakai is the leader of the ultra popular Japanese pop group SMAP. Apart from SMAP, he is also in many TV drama and commercials. It is no wonder why he is regarded as one of the most popular artists in Japan.

In 2002, he finally took up the lead role in a movie - Moho Han in which he totally subverted his star image and transformed himself into a horrific serial killer.

Chinese Transcript by Wheel0704 of www.jerryyan.org
translated by yanaliao of www.nbbbs.com

Takuya Kimura has a Radio show wherein he talks about his shows, live performances or even made some interlude for the fans, he even talked about F4's guesting on their show SMAPXSMAP. He said that the group F4 was very cute because after the show they even asked for a group picture and autograph from them.

Takuya even said: "After F4's portion was taped, I thought they already left, but after I finished taping the whole show, I was surprised to see Mr. Yan (there was a term Takuya used in addressing Jerry which is often used to call the elders) waiting for me. When he saw me coming he said: "Xin Ku le!" (literally means you've worked hard enough), then he said he was waiting for me to finish so we could have a picture together. I was wondering why he wanted to do it again since we just had one right after their portion was taped. In the end I learned that because I was dressed funny in the show, he wanted to have a picture with me in my usual look. He even waited for me to finish the taping. This left a very deep impression in me."

This is quite old but...

Kimutaku Declines Academy Nomination

Actor, SMAP member and Japan's No.1 heart throb Kimura Takuya (34) will not be accepting his nomination for a best actor prize at the 30th Japan Academy Awards. Kimutaku stars in "Bushi no Ichibun", the third in Yamada Yoji's trilogy of samurai movies. His decision means that the movie misses its chance to be represented in all 13 award categories. It is the first time an actor has refused a nomination, other than the rare occasion when it has conflicted with a work schedule. Johnny's Jimusho, which represents Kimura, said he "doesn't want to compete with other nominees". The agency also refuses its stars' nominations for Record Taisho awards as a matter of policy. "Bushi..." was only barely eligible for this year's awards, opening on December 1, the last day for which movies could be considered. It's been a big success, taking in over ¥1.7 billion at the box office. Several other of its stars have received nominations, including Dan Rei (35), Sasano Takashi (58), and Momoi Kaori (54). "Bushi..." is said to be Yamada's last samurai drama, despite the huge success of "Tasogare Seibei" (Twilight Samurai, 2003) and "Kakushi-ken: Oni no Tsume" (Hidden Sword: Demon's Talons, 2004).

Lady-Rinoa:

Sweet! Now I'm starting to see Jerry Yan in a new light. Hehe.

Teka, ano ba ang 'usual look' ni KimuTaku? As usual, gwapo

i have to agree with you on that :D  as usual, GWAPO :D

Inenroll ni Kimu Taku at ng asawa niya yung mga anak nila (dalawa ata) sa isang school outside of Tokyo mga last year. Yun ang school na gusto nila kasi may maganda daw yung English curriculum. Pero di tinanggap nung school yung mga bata kasi pagkakaguluhan daw sila ng mga tao (knowing that the father is Kimu Taku). Ayaw nila ng ganung attention. Kaya hanap sila Kimu Taku ng bagong school para sa mga bata.

Panalo!! Muntik na ako maiyak sa Hitomi wo Tojite!

CLICK NOW!

A little late but...Nakai is not getting married.

Got this from the Johnny's website and made a rough translation.
