We went to Hong Kong together to do photo shoots for his photo book. We decided to have a meeting beforehand; Kimura-san came to pick me up in his car with his stylist Noguchi-san. Even though it was the first

I was thinking about drawing them for a while but I really not that good, but I too always imagined this two as

'Nakai-san as the “moon,” and Kimura-san as the “sun.” '

with their back to each other

Thanks again you made this magazin an even better treasure (not that the picuters wasn't great) but to understand what they have to say about SMAP is just fantastic Thanks

"Even though you don’t see him calculating or targeting anyone in particular, he still gives off the power that tells people he’s someone special. I can only explain this by calling it his natural ability."

Kimura = STAR everywhere he goes!

thanks!

that he certainly is! They always talk about Kimura's and SMAP's "aura" I guess that's what it means. Their presence itself attracts people naturally.
