The album is doing so much better than their latest singles, and I'd say much better than the other Johnnys too because they achieve this with only ONE version out, compared to other Johnnys who always have 2-3 versions out. _________________

[quote="simone"]CDJapan emailed me for pre order and I click order so I'll wait till Dec. 17.
Neri, goodbye to the cap and earphone instead DVD live [/quote]
yup! no problem i knew it.(pahiram ha wala si sherie maternity leave nya she'll be back february). am sad shingo fell from the stage hu hu hu.
ok, just got back from SMAP concert in Osaka. It was just awesome.
Still can`t believe I was so mighty lucky to get a ticket. After hearing here how difficult it is, I was prepared for the worst and just tried my luck. Especially since my Japanese is less than 1 %.
There was this Japanese lady who seemed to know a lot of other fans and who seemed to collect tickets. Anyway when she heard I was a gaijin who had flown more than 10 hrs to get to Japan, she promised me a ticket. Not sure whether the flight made any difference though, because she seemed to be very nice anyway.
I saw people carrying SMAP bags with goodies, but did not see where they bought them. I guess, I was too busy getting into the dome, because I thought it would start at 1800, whereas it started at 1900.
I paid YEN 9000. The actual price was YEN 8500. Not expensive at all, I think, because the concert lasted 3.5 hrs.
Now I just wished I knew what they (SMAP) were saying during the concert. Maybe a DVD of the concert with Eng subs 10 years from now?

I was so happy to be able to watch 2 nights of S.M.A.P. at Tokyo Dome. It was super modern artistic performance indeed. Highlights:
For 29 Sept. 2008
1) At the first MC, the other SMAP guys were asking Shingo's well-being and he said he's fine and even kicked his leg to show that he's ok. I observed him during the production numbers and I didn't see any lacking movements from him, still energetic as always, & had I not known he got injured in the earlier days of the tour, it's not noticeable.
2) During the Encore where they stepped on the movable ramps for each one, when Shingo reached the area where I sat (am near the left ramp), he was pointing to someone at the first row of the stando (not really in the stando but still the arena but the back part is the wall going to the stando seats above), I looked instead at the tall center giant screen and the camera panned Kame (of Kat-tun), Yamapi and others, it was so fast but determined it was indeed Kame because after singing Dear Woman, Original Smile (danced with chosen fans on the mini stage facing the stando), and on the return to the main stage with them singing Mermaid, Kame was already atop the ramp where Takuya was and dancing with him
30 Sept.
1) During the song where Tsu played the piano, he made a momentary pause (dunno if he forgot the notes when the previous evening he did it perfectly) and it was Goro's turn, but Goro being the professional he is, smiled and quickly resumed singing acapella and then Tsu finally caught on with the piano music. After this number, Tsu got a great applause from the audience (I think for not losing heart and still continuing).
2) At the final portion, after 2 Encore songs, Takuya ripped his tee-shirt and Shingo followed suit, so they were both baretop when they waved goodbye to the audience.
I especially like the song where Tsu played the piano because Takuya's portion was so nicely-sang, also the AveMaria song rendered was awesome, with smoke-like fog swirling their feet onstage.
The production numbers as well as the song interpretations of each SMAP guys not only in their solo numbers but in songs where they all sang are truly great and awesome.
I went there with no tickets and God has been so good to me to buy from fans at the regular price for this year of Y8,500 for both nights, I was even able to buy 2 tickets on the last night so we sat together, for me and a new friend whom I met during this trip. _________________

I wonder where everybody has gone, but...GORO'S NEW DORAMA!
Fuji TV is producing a drama series called "Triangle," scheduled to air next season. Actor Yosuke Eguchi will be the star of the show, supported by SMAP's Goro Inagaki and actress Ryoko Hirosue.
The series is described as a mystery/suspense story, starting with the murder of a 10-year-old girl in 1984. 15 years later, after the case goes unsolved and passes the statute of limitations, a doctor named Ryoji Goda (Eguchi) suddenly quits from his hospital and eventually becomes a detective. In 2008, he meets a traveling artist (Hirosue) in Paris, and shortly after Goda's return to Japan, he becomes involved in the expired murder case when another detective (Inagaki) receives an anonymous phone call.
Aside from Paris, where filming is currently taking place, the show's settings also include Tokyo, Osaka, and Shanghai. The rest of the cast is said to include other top actors, young and old, including Kinya Kitaoji.
"Triangle" will premiere on January 6, airing every Tuesday at 10:00pm.
I've totally fallen for shingo and goro ( thanks to a great fanvid that I found on Veoh: the history of shingoro. Totally amazed me. I think the author is Yanie. Thanks to her.)
I don't usualy post on forums but the last post here push me to talk to ask more details.
It's about Goro's drama. Does :"Aside from Paris, where filming is currently taking place" mean that Goro is now in Paris?
I live at the door of Paris so it's very important for me to know about that. If I have a chance to see Goro...it would be a shame to miss it wouldn't it?
I looked on the internet but couln't get any information. So I take my chance here, hoping someone knows about it (cross fingers).

Hi and welcome!
I think what they meant by Paris is only for Eguchi and Hirosue's scenes. At least that's what I know of now. _________________
