Maybe this is because they actually KNOW they got a second chance something which is not the norm. They were nice guys before, but now I think after 10 years out of the spotlight they really appreciate the fact that they can do this again. If you're interested and haven't already you should read Garys Book
My Take, which is really an interesting read. He is really reflective about his part in the band the first time they were around and is not afraid to take blame for some things he did. Actually, it's a fascinating read about fame and how it can be taken away from you in a short time, too. So even if you're not interested in the band, it's a good insight into the western/european Pop-Business.

They both are good, etc. but I do not think they belong together. Although I don't blame them for going along with it: their temporal reunion with Robbie will probably help them break even more records and will make them much more visible worldwide (since Robbie is huge pretty much everywhere besides the US).

I hope not. Honestly, they don't need him. He doesn't need them. He can join them for a concert if he wants, but I don't think this will work at all. If it does, I would be really surprised, but after everything that happened between them it would leave a bitter aftertaste, I think. And Take That are popular in the same places that Robbie is succesful in. They also failed to break America when they tried.
By the way, for all Fans of J-Pop, Take That held concerts in Yoyogi in 1995, too. I would love to see some footage of that, but this was the time before Internet was spread so it seems impossible.
These were the tour dates:
Monday 25th September 1995 - Adelaide Entertainment Center
Tuesday 26th September 1995 - Melbourne Flinders Park
Friday 29th September 1995 - Sydney Entertainment Center
Sunday 1st October 1995 - Brisbane Entertainment Center
Wednesday 4th October 1995 - Perth Entertainment Center
Saturday 7th October 1995 - Bankgkok Hua Mark Indoor Stadium
Sunday 8th October 1995 - Bankgkok Hua Mark Indoor Stadium
Tuesday 10th October 1995 - Singapore Indoor Stadium
Saturday 14th October 1995 - Tokyo Yoyogi Olympic Stadium
Sunday 15th October 1995 - Tokyo Yoyogi Olympic Stadium
Tuesday 17th October 1995 - Djkarta Istorn Senayan

Don't know if that is all correct, because this site misses some dates in 1993, but for now I'll assume it's correct.
