English is where it is because people don't care. And why should they, where's the bottom line and which side of the language divide gets to draw it?

This "band" represents everything that is wrong, sad, hopeless and pathetic with commercial music. It's taken the absolute ridiculousness that is SMAP (grown-men with zero musical talent that need to wake up to the reality that they are not 16 anymore), and pimped them to even greater heights.
