[Translation] SMAP Magazine: "To me, SMAP is..." series (Shigesato Itoi)

Shigesato Itoi (copywriter): The first time I have met SMAP was around 17 years ago. At that time, my daughter, who was in elementary school, was a fan of Kimura-kun so I was going to get an autograph for her. But I didn’t have any connections with them, I didn’t even know who the boy “Kimura-kun” was. One time, at the final airing of a morning TV ( Read more... )

Thank you for another awesome piece of work! XD

I probably sound like a parrot in echoing the comments before me (cause I so so so agree with their sentiments XD), but it is truly facinating to read about SMAP from Shigesato-san's eyes, especially in how SMAP functions with them as individuals and the "roles" that they play in their teamwork. <333

Oh, and by the way, do you mind if I share the links to your translations in the SMAPxSMAP Livejournal Community? :D Just wanted to spread the love~ ♥♥♥

Please feel free to. I thought about posting the links in the SMAPXSMAP community to but never got around to it--I am usually a big lurker so I have never posted anything there, and I can be quite a big procrastinator when I want to be.

Spread the love~

arigatou!

"The Kusanagi-kun who gives you a face of “I don’t really have any special abilities,” likes to say things like, “I am a fan of SMAP,” or “I am so happy that I am still here with all of you.” These famous quotes can really get to people."

--this one is really true, it gets to people and he's been doing that for years now..the effect is still great~

thanks again for the translation :-)
