    Bruce is great; one of America's poets. Glad he's touring!

    I enjoy a wide variety of music and I like SMAP, too (they're fun)!

    I'm happy for X Japan; I hope their tour goes well ... It would be fun to see Seikima II do the same!

    Awwwww ! . . . (I like SMAP, but the comments are pretty funny.)

    Unfortunately when I read this headline I assumed the story was about the far more interesting "SMAP," the Soil Moisture Active and Passive mission which NASA will undertake in 2015...

    **: D**

    I guess if my life was one endless concert/event/promo/video/C.M./guest appearence/show (which I'm forced to do by some corporate exec that pockets 9/10ths of the profits) with the same four guys I'd eventually want to strangle them too...

    **: P**

    Wonder if anyone noticed that SMAP is Pams spelled backwards...

    They still exist for so many years, up and down, what a milestone! You go men...

    I agree.

    I think SMAP deserve some time off for the sake of their mental health and a fulfilled life.

    When you're screaming a bandmate's name in the middle of the night in a park it's time to meet new people, and Shingo sings "Here Is Your Hit" ("that's not how I wanna be...") with a lot of sincerity!

    ...anyone know what musical that Shingo took part in?

    Shingo Katori starred in the musical “Talk Like Singing” ( http://www.meniscuszine.com/arts/talk-like-singing-20091121/ ) which premiered last November in New York City ( http://www.skirballcenter.nyu.edu/calendar/talklikesinging ).

    The show will open in Japan at Tokyo’s Akasaka ACT Theatre ( http://www.tbs.co.jp/act/event/tls/ ) this January.

    I think Beat Takeshi should be the PM.

    He could do it -- if only he would!

    Kitano Takeshi is the perfect candidate for it... (^^)

    Yes, he's the people's candidate.

    Why do Weekly Playboy and Japan Today make a joke of homelessness?

    In this day and age, no one's basic needs should go unmet.

    It's a shame -- it's not an "experiment."

    what "Beat" Takeshi offers on any level

    Well, based on what I've seen of his movies (actor, director, writer, editor -- http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001429/), his interviews (print and film, i.e.: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P21nx7il5u0), various books (humor, commentary, short stories, poetry, novels, autobiography, sports, art), his tv shows (comedy, news, commentary, education, drama -- "Ano sensô wa nandattano ka - Nichibei kaisen to Tôjô Hideki"!), his artwork, singing, stand-up, tap-dancing, etc., there seems to be a lot.
    I think he's a self-made man, an independent thinker, a creative visionary and a good person.
    With his experience and sense of humor, he could be the Prime Minister of Japan! : )

    senseless variety show where you wear the uni grad hat and gown

    "Coma University Mathematics" entertains with and encourages an interest in math; not an easy feat!

    .

    A 4 1/2-hour exploration of war shown on a holiday is a call for audiences to think about the past and future.

    Oi, Beato! The world is waiting for you!

    Yes... Thanks, Takeshi, for your challenges, humor and inspiration; may they continue.

    I always thought Beat Takeshi ran Japan...

    He ought to run the country -- a thinking man with imagination, a sense of individuality, creativity and drive.
