Let say this is the continuation from previous entry about Takujin :D Yes, I manage to download Smap 2006 concert after I lucky found it. I've been in love with their con since Sample Bang in 2005 which my 'mom' gave me. Sample Bang is really impressed me. That is my first Smap con and success make me in love. Their concert is always... fun and warm. Thats the best line I can describe...
So, after watched 2 of their concert, I can conclude that:
1. Their concert is always have a strong concept
2. Since all of them is an actor, they put the mini drama on it
3. Their tour seems always in summer, which means for Hawaian clothes :p
4. Their costumes is... incredibly bad >.< (sorry, but its true..)
5. Many fanboys there!!!
6. The fans age range is about 3-60 years old and I mean it!
7. They not afraid to look ugly :p
8. Champagne is their fav drink :D

Its incredible to see so many fanboys there and there is about 60 years old ojichan also and he enjoy it very much. He seriously dances like the girls around him. Of course there is a young husband and little kid too, and they all enjoy it so much. They sang the songs, screaming and.. so loud. Just like a normal concert. Im not saying that having fanboy in their concert is amazing, since I believe there is fanboys also in other boyband concert (such as KT or BSB), but seeing how many of them and how they seem enjoy it so much is amazing. Well, maybe its the editing team who did a great job to describe the audience emotion so clear :p
As we all know, Smap is not a great singer... For my ears, only Tsuyoshi and Goro who had an appropriate voice. Shingo and Kimutaku is good, average maybe. And Nakai is terrible *sigh* But what makes them so popular and can hypnotize so many ppl? Their song and their personality, thats the main answer.
Smap is always have a good songs. Easy listening of course and sweet. Easy to follow and hear. Even Nakai voice enough to break a glass, but his warm and fun personality is always make us smile and make the 60 years old ojichan can stay stand to watch them. Yes, I can say, they are so warm and nice to their fans. Always smile, give fanservice, appreciate the fans, asked them to join, make them feel that they own Smap. I think thats the key.

I thought Kimutaku is a cold man at first. To be so honest, I keep teasing my pal who like him so much before. And now I eat my words. In each concert, at least 2 concert I've seen, he's incredible. He's the 'soul' of the concert. I doubt Nakai is their leader, since Kimutaku is the one who keep leading their pray before concert and the one who really can hipped the tension He's really the real entertainer. Like he said, give 120% energy to each concert they perform. And he interact so well with the audience, with of course his sexy fanservice ;p
Shingo keep become a baby, and he love Kimutaku as well lol I don't like his solo in Sample Bang (The song title called Shigusa) cause for me he look like a hostess gay, but I really, really like his solo in Pop Up. The song title is Everybody and he sang it duet with.. Koda Kumi! Yes, Koda Kumi. And she even guesting in 1 of their concert (I think its in their first Tokyo Dome concert). Thats a good song with a great duet. I couldn't thinking that Shingo really can equal Koda Kumi, but he did! And oh, he can rap :D
Goro and Tsuyoshi is always mysterious and sweet. Like I said before, they are the only person who can really sing :p Maybe their act isn't too spectacular, but without them the concert will incomplete. They can cover and give the different aura that Kimutaku or Nakai or Shingo gave and make Smap balance. Balance is always good :p
Nakai, oh... this clown is always amazingly funny. (I dl everything he's in whoever the guest is, just with note that the vid has sub XD) He can cover his terrible voice with funny expression and not make any excuse of it :p And for me, he;s the one who always take care about the fans and members. Even in this Pop Up con he's injured in the middle of tour and the other members covering for them. (If u watch this show u will see how they manage it perfectly). He still want to perform and give his best and at least singing live, including duet with female singer even he couldn't sing :p

And for each of their DVD concert is always interesting and great! For this Pop Up, they have 3D theme, beside the bonus about Smap Pop Up Diary, solo extra, and the extra itself. I will never imagine they make a 3D movie for this concert as bonus... For the first time, I can imagine how the concert backstage are so clearly! I always curious with the backstage specially how they can change the costumes so fast. I know they will have million assistant to help, but what exactly that backstage look like??? I get a little answer here. They have 5 standing mirror, split each other, a chair and their costumes orderly in row beside it (as I can imagine KT will have 6 standing mirror, split 3-3 in each wings and their costumes beside).

If I asked if Im satisfied with this concert, yes I am! I doubt I will at first, when I saw the opening (cause I expecting something great as Sample Bang opening), but when the concert flow its just like what I expecting. I wonder if they will have champagne this time, and yes they have it again :D Not for sprinkle it like before, but for drink as their 15th anniversary celebrated. Something they really deserve... They already did a great job for entertaining us
