Actually it should be "No!Alcohol!".
With over 2 million alcoholics in Japan, alcohol is the main problem here.
A poster showing Smap member Kusanagi getting arrested would be much more effective.
"Me Tarzan, You Jane, No! Drug."

Demerol (meperidine) can cause death, especially when taken in high doses or together with other drugs. Apparently the resident doctor was hired only 2 weeks ago, maybe he was not sure about the usual dose. Also if he did CPR on the bed (a soft surface), he may have caused cardiac arrest accidentally.

Prince Hitachi is younger brother of Emperor Akihito.
The Emperor is 165 cm tall, Prince Hitachi should be around 165 cm too.
Alan Garcia is quite tall for a Peruvian, he is 188 cm tall.

I hope she mentioned alcohol too. That's the main danger waiting those kids, and not other drugs.

I think that this teen-repellent will be hugely popular in Japan.
It seems to be effective as human rights activists are trying to ban it in EU.
They have also turned this buzz into a mobile phone ringtone. Teachers over 30 cannot hear it, so they can use it during class hours.
Download the teen-buzz (mp3) from here and see if you can hear it.

Ethyl alcohol is a dangerous drug and death by acute alcohol poisoning is not that rare, it is just under-reported.
Most of the victims are males in their 30's and 40's.
People usually get drunk when BAC (Blood Alcohol Concentration) level reaches 0.08 and deaths usually occur when BAC reaches 0.40, but some people may die with lower levels. Victims die because heart stops beating, or breathing stops or they choke on their vomit.
Binge-drinkers should never be put to bed to sleep it off.
Tobacco will kill you in 20 years, but alcohol may kill you in few hours.

I give it 6 weeks. Maybe they will re-unite again 25 years later, and it will be Tamaki's 8th and Ishihara's 6th.

It's a pity that there is no video footage of Nakagawa-san misbehaving at the museum. I would pay for it.

Atheism is not a religion. An atheist is NOT someone who believes that there is no God. An atheist IS someone who does not believe that there is a God. Religion is based on belief, but atheism is based on lack of belief.

To my best knowledge they are about same height: 168cm. Kimutaku's real height is a subject of much speculation.
By the way, the height of SMAP members seems to be as follows.
Nakai (Publicized height:165cm / Estimated height: 165cm)
Kusanagi (Publicized height:170cm / Estimated height: 167-170cm)
Inagaki (Publicized height:176cm / Estimated height: 173-176cm)
Katori (Publicized height:182cm / Estimated height: 178-181cm)
Kimura (Publicized height:176cm / Estimated height: 168-172cm)
