A few years ago in a magazine interview, Nakai said:
「ファンの皆さんがマスコミの言葉を信じるか、僕の言葉を信じるか。僕は、ファンのみなさんを信じています。」
"Fan no minasan ga masukomi no kotoba wo shinjiru ka, boku no kotoba wo shinjiru ka. Boku wa, fan no minasan wo shinjiteimasu"
"Does the fans trust the media's words or my words? I believe the fans (will make the right choice which to believe.)"
I believe that SMAP is still fighting and struggling to get their freedom. Quoting a fellow Smappy, If not signing another group contract is the start of getting out of that hell hole, I'm behind them 100%.
Takuya was interviewed as he arrived at Narita alone a few days ago.
Q. Did you hear about the disband news for the first time in Hawaii?
Takuya: Sou desu ne (yes)...
Q. Do you agree to the disband?
Takuya: I think it's the fans who cannot accept this the most. Everything we(SMAP) have done together is the whole truth. (issho ni yatte kita jijitsu wa jijitsu na no de)
Q. How do you feel about the disband? Do you agree?
Takuya: Jibun jishin wa nattoku to iu yori ka wa, kyounenmatsu kara konkai no soudou ni itaru made jibun jishin wa kawatteinai no de... (it's not about whether or not I agree... but my opinion has not changed since the end of last year)
Kudo Shizuka and their daughters arrived at Narita the next day.
Q. What do you think of SMAP's disband?
Kudo: I never interfere his work, so I do not know.
Q. What do you think about the stories that made him as the bad guy?
Kudo: I think what really happens is different than what everyone imagines.
Q. Do you think everything your husband did was to protect SMAP?
Kudo: There is no other reason.
I am more and more convinced that Mary hates Takuya and his wife so much (probably the most too) and that's why she made up stories that she will protect Takuya and how she and Kudo are like mother and daughter. If Mary really has good relationship with the couple, she has enough power to stop the press from hounding him and his family, no? But this is the exact same thing happened in 2000, Mary/the Jimusho let the press attacked Takuya abt his marriage and they didn't send any guards or crews to protect Takuya from the press. Iijima and SMAP members were standing behind the curtains when Takuya did the standing press con alone just in case the press get out of control or anything.... Nakai told the story in radio and he said they were ready to jump out and protect him if anyone hurt Takuya.
Today, Mary and Julie arrived at the airport according to leaked infos but there isn't a single press in the airport, haha
I believe they are still fighting hard. If they are not fighting and just accept their fate... SMAP will stay in the Jimusho as a group and enter unlimited hiatus period by now.
This disband is the first step to their freedom and their fight still continues even after December 31st, 2016.
I will support them to the end with everything I have.
