SMAP in Shanghai for Lunar New Year Gala

 SMAP flew to Shanghai a couple of days ago to film their performance for the New Year Gala. Those suits must be heavy on the lapel with all those beads. Each members greeted everyone albeit nervous, Tsuyoshi forgot his lines. Hahaha!

Kimura is being coached to tell the lady that she's pretty and the audience just go wild! Yeah, surround him with girls, all kinds, and he will love it.

After gamely wearing their spring colored Kung Fu suits on stage, SMAP does the fist wrapping salute (time salute?). Is Kimura's color perinwinkle? I think Goro looks the best. Nakai's green and Shingo's blue are okay too. Yellow is always better on darker skin.

Men should learn some charm lessons from the legendary ladies' man. Cameras and mobile cameras focus on KT during their meet with the press. I so envy these ladies standing inches away from him. I wanna sniff him!

Petto no P-chan (ペット の p ちゃん)

P-chan making his move on U-chan.

Female guests are forewarned. P-chan seems like an innocent-looking pink poodle but the truth is he is a pervert, a certified ero petto.

He doesn't talk unless you're alone with him. He seduces women through flattery. He forcibly kisses girls - young and young once, humans and other pets alike.

Beware of sharing a room with him alone or taking a seat beside him in that sofa. It will make it easier for him to pin you down to accomplish his sleazy misdeed.

If you scream for help, don’t shout out Papa Goro’s name, he will never believe you, but you can count on the kid Shingo-kun to be nearby to witness everything and collar P-chan redhanded. The kid will later challenge P-chan to a game of ping pong, basketball or pinball where the loser gets punished by drinking a bitter melon smoothie; most of the time, P-chan loses.

As for me, I just love that pink devil P-chan!

SMAP FaNxFuN PARTY 2011

P-chan! Did you kiss her?!

First off, let me greet my ichiban Kimura a very happy birthday! *kisses*  Still looking young and hot, hot, hot!

SMAP held a fan event on 12 November at Tokyo Dome. It's almost a mini concert. Fans who attended the 2-hour event blogged about it, of note was P-chan stealing a kiss on a girl in the audience!  It was a riot. Only Kimura (and P-chan the ero pet) can get away with that.

They gave out souvenirs. One of them was a silver coin to commemorate their 20th anniversary. Tsuyoshi was hoping for gold coins - yes, it'll come some 20 years later. Eternal idols! I will love you - gout and all.

SMAP also announced they will be releasing a new single, Boku no Hanbun, in December. According to the press release, the song is about "unrequited love".  They showed a preview of it, but I await to listen to the whole song.

SMAP in Professional Shigoto no Ryuugi

I finally got to watch SMAP in The Professional after waiting for so long. It was definitely worth the wait. It didn't matter that I understood only a little of it. I'm sure NHK World will have this in a few weeks (fingers crossed).

It's really interesting to go behind the scenes, what goes on before their concerts, how the SMAP members are before their cue to go on stage. I thought the bursting of energy begins backstage, it seems like they just let go of the energy when in front of the audience. Lots of pacing backstage, the boys looking all nervous.

If I were you, girl, I would smother him with kisses.

The girl above is a dancer. She's so, so lucky. Wishing I was that girl and Kimura touching me like that. I could imagine some sort of electric sensation passing through from his hand to my body. *sigh*

 

Different moods of Kimura (from NHK Shigoto no Ryuugi)

In the photo above where he was looking up to his right, Kimura must be visually recalling relationship with Mori. All the photos got me goshing right now.

So cute! All three of them!

I'll sneak in a few more screencaps later. I'll probably re-watch The Professionals again, hopefully English subbed.

20 Years of SMAP

I can't blog as much as I wanted to because of studies and work and travel, and work and studies and travel, that my body is beginning to complain now. My holiday is a few weeks away and I can't wait to be off to the beaches in Palawan, Boracay and Bali.

I'm also thankful for this short break as I can listen to some old SMAP CDs and watch SMAP on YouTube. There is one particular video that I keep going back to every time I get sentimental – a video of Kimura singing Hajimete no Chuu (First Kiss). I guess he was 23 at that time. The original Hajimete is actually a fast song, but it was awesome when Kimura sang the ballad version.



He likes experimenting with songs. He once sang a nursery song Donguri Koro Koro, but he sounded like he was singing a love song. I wish someone would share that video again.

This year, SMAP is celebrating their 20 years as a group. What a great milestone! They never even thought they would make it that long! Now, they're still thinking of keeping things going for as long as the fans cheer and love them.

It is interesting to note that on their debut 20 years ago, there was a typhoon so they sang in the rain, and at their first press conference not one question was asked by the press. (I feel a knot in my throat now) I wondered what was racing through the boys’ minds at that time. They must have made a great resolve as from thereon they became the greatest boy band ever in Japan.

I just love the thought of loving these guys. I will continue loving and supporting them forever!

Always.

Is he for real?

Again, I'm a few weeks late for this. Just saw Kimura's CM for Gatsby's Water Wax and it was both cool and hot, but mainly hot! One fan commented is he for real? He is just too hot in this CM! Lucky girl there enjoyed Kimura rubbing his face on her bossom. There's a part were the laces seem to come off!

I want to see a longer version of this CM if there is one available!

He looks so beautiful in the picture above. I just love that pout!

This blog is a work in progress

That's an excuse for being lazy.

It has been 2 months since I started this blog and this is only the second time for me to write another entry. I have been very, very busy with studies and work lately. Now I'm enjoying a few days' break and so here I am.

I visited YouTube today and good grief I had missed a lot lately (my blog title so unfits me)! Anyway, I was going through the list of videos under my Ichiban's name and my search yielded so many I haven't seen, including the intro to Kimura's Beautiful Life, which is my first dorama ever watched. Back then (saw it in 2002), I didn't think he was THAT handsome until it got to the part where Takako was pulling and squeeshing Kimura's face, and I thought, wow! he looks really cute! Since then, I'm so in love with his smile and am so goshing when he pulls a serious face.

Then, there's another fanmade music video for La La La Love Song (shouldn't there be 6 la la's in the title?). He's gloriously handsome in Long Vacation even if he had to wear crumpled shirts all the time. He should be suspended for driving many girls insane!

Still another fanvideo on Hero. I must admit that although I've seen Hero many times, I skip rewatching the final episode up to the goodbye-colleagues part and hello-again-Amamiya part. Too sad that he can't fight the system.

Well, I still have a few videos to swoon over and perhaps later put more progress in this blog.

Regolith no more

I have been regularly following up Renzuke's blog at http://blog.fujitv.co.jp/rensuke/index.html for the past month or so. It's probably the closest way to get to know what is going on in Kimura's mind. He writes in his blog daily, sometimes several times in one day. Never mind if it's in Japanese, Google does the translation. Never mind if it's not perfect, I get the gist of what is going on.

Alas! There are no more updates ever since the final episode of Tsuki no Koibito last Monday. The messages from fans kept growing by the day. Does he still visit his own blog to read the messages? I wish that somehow the pouring of messages would compel Renzuke/Kimura to return writing even another short "Thank you again" note.

It seems impossible though.

Sure will miss Tsuki no Koibito and of course Renzuke's blog.
