(Not officially announced yet so may not be the case) The position for leader ( the japanese call it supporter ) is removed from the event until last year, hence Shingo will be the 2nd leader to date after the revival of this position. It was also mentioned that since Shingo will be playing Isami Kondo, the leading character for NHK Taiga drama Shinsengumi next year, this leader position is definitely for him. For SMAP, after their big hit "Sekai Hitotsu Dake no Hana", this will be their 12th year participating in this event. NHK is planning to bring the audience a performance of SMAP with xxxxxx (^^ duno how to translate, a group of girls playing chinese orchestra? or some traditional music????) Hahaa can't imagine Shingo standing in front of all the participants going " White group, Ganbatte!! Go go go!!!" etc. So comical.......but tanoshimi!!! Hope this comes true! http://www.yomiuri.co.jp/hochi/geinou/oct/o20031015_30.htm |
