I don't think we've talked about SMAP in Beijing yet, right?

(Is that right that SMAP flew ANA to Beijing? Check this article, because this one's in Chinese...)

hard to believe J album was released 2 years ago :O

Wasn't really expecting this since their release pattern's quite unpredictable (with them releasing only 1 single last year & also this year respectively) but it's still good

I'm pondering if I should give this album a miss even though I listen to their singles but I'll see about it

New album? Hmm... I'm sure they're due for a new album, but it hasn't been in my minds over the past few months...

[KarenPang]

I wasn't expecting them to release a new album anyway ~_~

They only released 1 single last year & also another one this year , especially both of them also released solo material on the sideline if you have no idea about it

Tackey’s talks about his faith in Johnny Kitagawa

Hideaki Takizawa said he trusts his agency’s boss completely when it comes to showbiz, it was revealed at a press conference in Tokyo on October 3, reports Sponichi Annex.

Recently it was announced Johnny’s & Associates president Johnny Kitagawa had set two Guinness world records:

“Most Concerts Produced by an Individual” (8419 shows between 2000 and 2010, reports the Guinness World Records), and,

“Most No.1 Singles Produced by an Individual”

Speaking at a press conference for his upcoming stage show “新春　滝沢革命 (Shinshun Takizawa Kakumei)”, Tackey said the records were no surprise.

“It’s an amazing record, and I feel very happy to be able to work for someone like Johnny-san. I know that if I do what Johnny-san says, he’ll undoubtably make it a great show,” he said.

Senior Johnny’s talent Kazukiyo Nishikiori, who also stars in the stage show, said when he was starting out in the entertainment industry, everyone was going out overseas to places like New York because that was where everything was happening. He said he hopes the opposite will happen now, and more and more people will come to Japan to see shows.

“新春　滝沢革命 (Shinshun Takizawa Kakumei)” will begin it’s next season from January 1 2012. The show started performances in 2009 and includes dynamic stunts such as wire-flying sequences and an on-stage waterfall.

Tackey denies girlfriend rumours

After a gossip magazine had reported it had evidence Hideaki Takizawa was dating a non-celebrity, the singer himself denied the claim at a press conference in Tokyo on November 1, reports Sponichi Annex.

Last October, gossip magazine “Friday” had reported Tackey was dating a non-celebrity woman who looked like Japanese talent Akane Osawa.

At a press conference for his and team member Tsubasa Imai’s latest concert tour in Tokyo yesterday, Tackey gave the press an explanation.

“She’s a friend. We’re absolutely not dating.”

The singer also took the opportunity to apologise to his fans.

“All it’s done is make my fans worried,” he said.

http://momoedgewood.wordpress.com/20...riend-rumours/

mmmm isn't it time for T&T to settle down & get married ? I mean , Tackey's going to be 30 next year & Tsubasa already joined the 30 years old club this year so =O

Tackey & Tsubasa plans for an Asia tour in 2012

Johnny’s duo Tackey & Tsubasa will celebrate their 10th anniversary next year and have big plans in store, the two revealed at a press conference in Tokyo on November 1, reports Chunichi Sports and Sports Hochi.

The two kicked off the Tokyo leg of their concert tour yesterday, performing 35 songs in front of their fans. One surprise was a performance of their upcoming single “Heartful Voice” during which 20,000 white balloons were released into the concert hall for their 15,000 fans.

The two talked about the free concert they performed in Ishinomaki city, which was hit hard by the tsunami in March, and their plans for the future.

“The locals were really supportive. We’re celebrating 10 years since our debut next year, I hope we can go on tour, starting with concerts in the Tohoku area,” Tsubasa Imai said.

“When we visited Taiwan before our debut, we promised our fans that we’d be back so I want to go on an Asia tour [next year],” Hideaki Takizawa said.

Speaking of celebrations, Tsubasa also talked about the birthday dinner Tackey had arranged for him on his 30th birthday last month.

“I got nervous, I mean, really? Just the two of us in a Chinese restaurant? Then he arranged a limo to take us to the second restaurant. I felt like I was in ‘Sex and the City’,” he said.

“Well, I never get a chance to sit down and talk to him,” Takizawa said.
