Tsuyoshi says he watched SxS every week without missing one.
He said he feels "shiawase" that he's able to work together with the other members again.
During the suspension, he said he talked to SMAP members from time to time on the phone. He exchange mails with them or leave voice messages for each other. The others are so busy so he couldn't have a talk long enough with them, but he talked to them a few times.
He was asked whether or not he watch Shingo's apology. He said yes, he watched it on time, and he felt "I definitely won't make everyone lower their head again for me,"
The Chideji association is currently considering seriously whether or not Tsuyoshi would return as the Chideji ambassador or not:

The other four members each addressed the fans at yesterday's recording.
Shingo exclaimed to the fans," I'm so happy! This is great!" He also talked about the huge number of letters Tsuyoshi received during his suspension, adding playfully, "Tsuyopon is so well loved by everyone... I'm almost jealous!"
Nakai said jokingly, "My dad was so worried!" Kimura, on a more serious note, said, "I strongly felt the importance of this team as the base for each of us."
Goro said, "I'm happy we're standing on this stage with five members. And I want to continue on with these members for the rest of my life."

On 3.45 PM yesterday, Tsuyoshi had a 9-mins press conference, and right after that, he visited Kimura and Shingo who were filming a skit, and also Nakai and Goro who were in the waiting room. They talked to them one-on-one for about 2-5 minutes.
