Rofl. Man, he must've tanked some hardcore alcohol. Sucks for the company though.

Wow. This is nuts. And in their 20th anniversary?!

I wonder what'll happen, but Sunshine probably summed it up for all of us.

it's quite blown out of proportion . it's not like he did something really really bad. it's just that he was under the influence of alcohol that prompted him to do that. but maybe, in my opinion, because he's a celeb that is being idolized by young people, they should make a big deal about it just to show that the consequences of the bad actions.

thankfully such a thing doesn't happen in S'pore . I guess the media in here doesn't scutinise celebs as much/extensive as compared to Japan & let alone US

If it had been me that lived there I would have been like, "holy crap its Tsuyoshi Kusunagi of SMAP drunk and naked outside my window!" Run downstairs grab an autograph and have him come and sober up at my place and for god sakes give the man some clothes. I certainly wouldn't turn him into the cops! lol.

I probably won't be able to sleep tonight because I keep getting visions of a drunk naked Tsuyoshi prancing around singing "What's wrong with being naked?" That should be SMAPs next single. :)

In the US though, people rarely get punished for their bad behavior and that isn't good. Japan however takes it to the opposite extreme and punishes too much for the most minor things.

LMAO! I swear I remember seeing this on the news on my TV yesterday but I wasn't paying attention! I remember hearing the newscaster saying about someone saying "What's wrong with being naked" LOL.

^Tsuyoshi allegedly shouted "What's wrong with being naked!?" to the police lol. Tsuyoshi looks so innocent though, I can't see him doing something like this.

And I agree with Sunshine. I definitely wouldn't turn him into the police! But what if you took Tsuyoshi in, gave him some clothes and waited for him to sober up? The police can't arrest you for something like that?

If this situation went that way, I can totally see the news:

"Kusanagi Tsuyoshi of SMAP! was seen naked and under the influence of alcohol last night. A woman took him in and allowed him stay with her until morning when he was sober. Police believe the woman may have taken advantage of him during the time he was under the influence. Further information on this matter has not yet been released."

:laugh

saw this news in the morning..abit shocking..

Wow, even AOL news is reporting it. They have pictures of his arrest.

HOLY GOD! :thud Look at all of those paparazzi!

lol - I was reading about this on the News Channel on my Nintendo Wii :laugh

That is a lot of paparazzi! o_O

was it reported on Channel News Asia ?

even the local media wouldn't give a s-it when Koda Kumi had that unfortunate scandal of hers & let alone news of ayumi when she was deaf *oops sorry for bringing back both issues again in here*

It was a shock when the local media here picked up the story O_O

Seriously. The paparazzi look 100x worse in Japan than it does in the US. I don't think I've ever seen that many paparazzi around a US star for anything!

Those poor police men, some of them had to have been trampled on. @3@;

Buy a T-Shirt with the quote "what's wrong with being naked?"

LOL I need to find someone in Japan to purchase this for me.

^OMG I'd wear that every day! LOL

oh my :roflmao

I know that somehow sooner or later such a thing will happen :laugh

Awesome I want one!! :laugh

Did they make them just now? xDD

:roflmao

I wonder who will be the 1st person to buy it :innocent

It just goes to show how hugely influential the members of SMAP are. They really are probably hands down the most well known people in the country.

I'm sure it will become the next fashion sensation and "What's wrong with being naked?" will be the new popular catch phrase. :)

Of all people, it had to be Tsuyoshi Kusanagi going around naked :P Ew. Why couldn't it have been Takuya Kimura instead? Haha!

As liberal as I hope I am, I sympathize with the Japanese reaction to this as I really have something about public indecency and exposure. Really, it's not about the naked person losing any sort of respectability, or about the general respectability of society diminishing. It's about me having to bear witness to something I would rather not see. I'd prefer having the choice whom to see naked or explicitly, thank you very much. Respect my freedom of space, Tsuyoshi Kusanagi!

Better to nip things in the bud.
