After watching the press conference he held, I hope that once all this media exposure ends, people realize that Kusanagi needs help, not scorn. He works hard to entertain everyone as well as doing his small part to build bridges between Japan and South Korea. Like everyone is saying, he…

One reason that NHK could be making a big deal about it and private networks aren't is that the private networks make a lot of money from SMAP, so they wouldn't want to make a big deal about this. NHK does not, so they don't care, and can make a…
