Favorite Friday

My daughter was sick today so she stayed home from school. I spent most of the day watching the "We Are SMAP" 2010 concert with her. This is the dance Nakai performed in honor of Michael Jackson. Unfortunately, the dance was not included in its appropriate spot on the DVD. He uses some of Michael's songs and the copyright holders wouldn't give permission to include it. If you have the DVD, you can see the dance with different music in the bonus features. But it's just not the same.

Favorite Friday

Katori Shingo is a member of the ultra-famous Johnny's group, SMAP. Sometime around 2000, he starred in a new show where he would cross-dress as Shingo Mama and let tired housewives have the morning off. He would show up at someone's house bright and early in the morning to perform all of the duties of a housewife - waking the family members up, making them breakfast, seeing them off to work/school - doesn't your mother do that? It was extremely popular, especially with children. So, Shingo Mama recorded a song and released it as a single. Now I present it to you.

Another Johnny rumored to be dating

On Monday I reported the rumor that Arashi's Nino is dating. Well, another rumor of a Johnny dating has popped up. Nakai Masahiro of SMAP is rumored to be dating singer Koda Kumi. The pair met in September when Koda appeared on stage at a SMAP concert. Neither side has confirmed the rumor. However, it has been confirmed that Koda has broken up with her previous long-term boyfriend. She began dating him before she got her big break and revealed the relationship two years ago. Last year, he was transferred to Osaka. The couple decided to end the relationship due to the distance and her busy schedule.
