I do not have so
many pictures of Shingo Mama, since I only have what I scanned from magazines
and the minuscule amount I find on the web. Did you know I found no other
English language websites about Shingo Mama? There were a few articles,
and lots of websites for Shingo Katori. So I have two sections in the
picture gallery. One part is for Shingo Mama, and the other part is for
Shingo Katori!
Scroll down for the
Shingo Mama section. It's right below.
Scroll down past the
Shingo Mama section or CLICK HERE for the Shingo
Katori pics.
Larger pictures are
thumbnailed. Click on the thumbnail for the larger picture. But not all
pictures are thumbnailed!! Most Shingo Mama pictures are not.
This
is filming for Shingo Mama's recent drama special. Shingo Mama's little
character seems to be ducklings. My questions is, why? My mother used
to like ducks, too. Maybe it's a mother thing. |
|
Is
that a microphone or breath spray? It's always fun to watch Shingo
in the morning as he just wakes up and is talking to the camera, telling
us how cold and tired he is. Proves to the world that even our beloved
Shingo Mama in his popstar world is not invincible. So now, back to
the yellow thing... someone just told me that thing is a fan! |
|
How subtle in her polka-dot pink dress and matching umbrella! Next
year when I move to Japan in time for Halloween, I just thought of
a costume idea. I wonder how many other people are doing it... I wonder
how many other hot guys are doing it.... maybe I don't want to know... |
|
You
know, if his face was a little less built and he didn't have an adam's
apple, he could actually pass for a girl. It's funny, come to think
of it; my math teacher in sixth grade looked just like this. Minus
the flower. She didn't have that much feminine taste. |
|
Getting
set for a scene in the drama! I really wish I could have seen it.
No, I've never seen the Shingo Mama special. If anyone has a copy,
please e-mail me about
it! Apparently it's supposed to be pretty good! That is, for a drama
that's supposed to be based on Shingo Mama... |
|
The Shingo Mama drama bike, same as pictured above. Everything matches.
Take about coordination! During winter episodes a few times I've seen
Shingo sporting the plaid pink patter with yellow instead, but to
tell you the truth, I think the polka dot pink matches Shingo Mama's
persona better anyway. |
|
Shingo Mama the
man. Simple. Weak. Sensitive. In secret, actually likes the colour
pink. Ha ha, just kidding. By report, Katori's favourite colour is
actually green. |
|
Okay, I found
this one online so don't bug me about the horrendous quality. This
is Shingo Katori and two of the Morning Musume many. They were recently
doing a program together, some sort of music special. It's a possibility
that the morning show that Shingo got his famous "Oh' Ha-"
from may have been hosted by them way back when. But I've never seen
it and I'm not a Morning Musume fan so don't take my word for it. |
|
As elaborate
as Shingo does his costume each morning, he is just not a girl. So
he'll never have the talent of a girl in applying makeup! Funny, though,
most professional makeup artists are actually men. Think about it:
Shingo arrives at some people's house at 6-ish or earlier. With the
costume change and the makeup and transportation in addition to the
morning routine, imagine how early he has to wake up! Now I see why
he always looks so tired on camera. |

Shingo
Katori Pictures
Larger pictures are
thumbnailed. Click on the thumbnail for the larger picture. I'll inform
you if you need to click to view the larger version.
There's
another rockstar that this concert photo remind me of, and I just
can't place it! I think it's Rolling Stones or Aerosmith or one of
those. I'd ask the visitors of this page to think of who I may be
talking about, but I don't know how many Aerosmith fans are also fans
of Shingo Mama. Perhaps Domoto Kouichi.... Hey, are you visiting,
Kouichi? |
|
This
picture is thumbnailed, and so is the one next to it. So many pictures
of Katori have him doing something cute. He really is cute. The pictures
still have the original Japanese articles on the right, for those
of you who read Japanese. |
|
Both
pictures are thumbnailed First, we have the serious Katori. Then,
we have his natural personality blossoming through in the most awkward
way. What was he thinking while taking that shot, I wonder? |
|
Both
pictures are thumbnailed. For those of you reading his creative shirt,
don't get any ideas. Right now in Japan, the in thing is the retro
80's look. For those of us that remember the 80's, that's kind if
funny. For those of us who don't remember the 80's, that's not as
bad as you may think. Has anyone ever seen the Wedding Singer? |
|
This picture is thumbnailed. What is it with the big coats?! Anyone
see the "Purple the Orion" video for DaPump? And then the
GLAY videos tend to have them, and that one "Yuki" by those
Hokkaido beauties Whiteberry. Did I miss any? |
|
This
picture is thumbnailed. The many faces of Katori Shingo. This has
got to be an old picture, perhaps 1998. I'm not sure which magazine
it's from. |
|
When I first
saw this one, the scan of it was so dark that I thought it was a
picture of Tomoya Nagase. But I lightened it up and lo and behind,
what other Johnny's Talent has such distinctive and expressive lips?
Rarely do I see Shingo so unhappy like this... it's almost depressing.
I don't think I can take it much longer... I'm gonna cry..... bwaaaaaaaa......
okay on to the next picture.
|
|
Okay, here's a treat for you! This picture is not thumbnailed, but
if you save it you will find it bigger than it appears online here.
In this picture, Katori is doing a SataSmap role in which he designs new clothes using old clothes, and that's one of his creations plans there! Since the picture is dreadfully hard to see,
to the right is a close-up, level edited version of the sketch he
drew. It's really rather quaint. I think one of the other adorable
childrens' artists in Johnny's would have to be Domoto Tsuyoshi. |
|
Goofing
off again at a concert. See what I mean about the light hair? Shingo
Mama has dark hair. So he must wear a wig. I've never known him to
have short hair with which he couldn't do anything, though, not since they debuted fro Hikaru Genji's
obnoxious backup skating juniors. |
|
Okay, this one is rather unconventional too! I think this is from
a very recent drama, in which he plays a character which is very different
from the one portrayed in Shingo Mama. In fact, it was so different,
that on one episode of SmapxSmap, they took serious clips of the drama
and posted a goofy looking pic of Shingo Mama in to corner, just to
show the hilarious contrast. Let me see if I have any of those for
you... Okay,
I do!!! Can you see it? Look below... The Shingo Mama picture is in
the right hand corner. |
|
Now there's our Shingo Bay-bey! Out of curiosity, the Shingo Mama
theme song is not the O'ha- Rock, it's actually the Austin Powers
theme. (find it here) My buddie Ruthie and I were watching an episode and suddenly
she noticed the music and burst out laughing! I suppose, in a twisted
sort of way, the two really do identify. |
|
The
picture to the right is thumbnailed. He looks sooooo cute here. While
I heard that Tsubasa Imai directs some of his own photo shoots, I
don't think Shingo does. So many of the Johnny's boys look so cute
in photos. |
|
Dude,
I just HAVE to put this in here. I found this online on one of the
Japanese pages. I know they make dolls of SMAP but I don't think they
make Shingo Mama dolls, so this is one of the special creations by
Shingo Mama fans. If Shingo Mama was a doll, come to think of it,
I might buy it just for novelty sake, but this just doesn't look right.
Come on, I want comments for this one!! |
|
This
picture reminds me of DaPump "Be My Girl". He's so fine
in this! Hee hee!! You know, prior to seeing Shingo Mama, I was never
a big fan of SMAP. Sure, I liked Kimura Takuya because his birthday's
a few days before mine, and I have seen Tsuyoshi Kusanagi in "Messenger"
a dozen times (I love that movie!) but I didn't really know all that
much about the group. Who would think that it'd take a six foot guy
in a pink polka dot dress to get me intrigued? |
|
Ya
know, he was pretty cute when he was a teenager... He looks like every
other Johnny's Boy when they were a teenager... just look at Kat-Tun
now and what was the other one? Oh I can't remember. Those little
Johnny's Juniors. Well, he looks like one of them, doesn't he? |
