Ohayo SMAP!
June.21-June.25,1999

June.21(Mon):
Yes. Ah, the theme of this week is "My private life." Well, this is nothing special but I would like to talk about my favorite CD. Lately at Bistro SMAP, Mr. Junichiro Koizumi, a politician, came as a guest. Our team won and he gave us 1988 Chateau Coszestuor, a delicious wine as the prize. Also, he gave us CD. This was the sound truck of the movie "Once upon a time in America". The movie was the movie about the gang era. Robert De Niro appears on this movie. I listen to this CD quite often. It is nice. This is one of the great sound trucks. In addition, I like the sound truck of the movie "Hypnosis". I like this one, too. But, some of the sound trucks of movies are always entertaining. With the exception of the title music, many of them, such as the theme for being chased or, in case of "Hypnosis", the theme for putting someone on hypnosis, have some vague titles and not really entertaining. The sound truck of "Hypnosis" has about 20 songs. Well, I think this sound truck is pretty cool. Um.

June.22(Tue):
Yes, the theme of this week is "My private week" and I am talking about it since yesterday. Speaking of private time, as many of you are like me, I don't have enough private time since I am working. Well, "not having enough time" could be just an excuse since I have a time to sleep. The real person who values his own private time probably sacrifices some sleep for something he really wants to do...I think. I don't know the definition of a person who values his own private time. (laughing) At home, I can relax by just doing things around, such as feeding my cats, doing laundry, or if it is evening, closing drapes which I opened in the morning. Doing these things relax me. Um.. In addition, I like to stay in hot bath and not thinking anything. How about all of you? How do you spend your time after you go home?

June.23(Wed):
Yes. Guess what? SMAP's new single "Fly" will be released today, June 23. This song is hard to pitch. This is the theme song of SMAPXSMAP now, but it is relatively heavy song. Well, it is not barade, but it is not danceable either. Um. Most likely, those who understand music will love this song. Um. It is arranged very sleek compare with other songs. It has choreography for dancing part. This is first time in a while to sing and dance. I like this song quite a bit. It is the best to sing the song which I like. "Fly" has many meanings. I will talk about it tomorrow.

June.24(Thu):
Yes, Ah, SMAP's new single "FLY" was released yesterday. Well, I said this yesterday that I liked this song quite a bit. Um. When we did "Yozora no Muko", it got a very good feedback from the member. This song too is getting as good feed backs as "Yozora". But singing this song is difficult after all. Um. It is really hard. By the way, there is the promotion video for this song which is very fan. Mr. Ishii, the director, for this video did my "Cal ni Mag ichi" CM. He also debuts as a movie director. He directed "Samejiri Otoko to Momojiri Onna" which Mr. Tadanobu Asano appears. This director made our promotion video. It is really interesting. The video has a story. It starts with the scene of me being tortured.(laughing) It is kind a hard story. Um. Please look forward the video!

June.25(Fri):
Yes, this is June 25. I will pass this show to another member next week. Um. Ah, I talked about the new single yesterday and the album will be also released on July 14. The title of this album is "BIRDMAN". This is the 13th SMAP album. "BIRDMAN" after "FLY", both of them are related by flying. We shot the promotion video using "BIRDMAN" as a keyword. Um. Basically, the album, which is released this time of the year, works along with the concert tour. We record the songs, which we want to do in the concerts, for the album. Um. Please remember the songs in the album and come to the concert. Yeah, please look forward the album, too.
