np. Toto – Hold the Line
Another really great SmaSma, suggested to be downloaded as whole, even though I did make a lot of clips this time.
We have two young actresses in the bistro = playful SMAP, a lovely performance of そのまま, JERO making a real guest-appearance, the 2nd JORO-skit (..of course) and lastly, a legendary musical guest from America, Toto! 
np. 田中ロウマ – Keep On
Hi, I’m back and full of energy. This week’s episode should be up tomorrow 
SMAPxSMAP from two weeks back, Monday March the 17th.
This was a special-broadcast with EXILE (who are btw breaking records with their sales. Their Best-album that they’re promoting here, has sold even more than their million-seller EXILE LOVE last year when comparing the Oricon-indexes).
np. SMAP – BANG! BANG! バカンス!
Well, as some already know, I am going off for my yearly spring vacation.
The lady has all her bags packed, checked at least thrice and a handsome chaffeur waiting ^^
The last one isn’t true (he looks average).
What this means to the blog, is shortly: no updates since I’m going to be once again charming the city of Rome in nightlights, and be nowhere near a computer, for the next two weeks.
When it comes to SMAPxSMAP or other summaries/chart-updates/notwhat, I think that when I get back from the trip and have accustomied myself to the daily life again, I will do the episodes I missed, if needed. You know where to tell me if you want me to.
That is, of course, unless some gigolo tries to sweep me off my feet, carry me to his castle and make me a contessa.
(..poor guy, he’d get a handful.)
See you after the 27th. Hopefully I can present you the subbed versions of SMAP’s newest songs then ^^
Arrivederci!
np. X Japan & Tokyo Academic Chamber Orchestra – Endless Rain II
My last summary in two weeks because of my long vacation (pun intended).
For “will-I-do-the-missing-ones-when-I-get-back?“, check the top-post in the blog.
np. 倖田來未 – 愛証
The last Shounen Club of the season!
NEWS as guests, the final battle of Junior League (which team will win?) and (unfortunately) a lot of HSW, but as this is the end of the season, I could either
a) hope that HSW is kicked out of the junior-show next month or
b) fear that they’re taking over the whole SC.
This whole issue is actually (of course) already solved, but that’s all I can say.
This way or that way, here we go.
np. Bryan Adams – Never Let Go (Guardian OST)
Note: If you’re looking for last week’s official charts, I updated them in here.
I will update this week’s officials in this post as well and not make a new one next Monday.
Anyway, this week we have SMAP, ORANGE RANGE, 絢香 [Ayaka], Asian Kung-Fu Generation, ELT, AAA, NEWS…
Updated: 11/03 >> WEEKLY OFFICIALS!
np. Janne Da Arc – 救世主 Messiah
Here we go, SMAPxSMAP, over one hour -long special-broadcast from March the 3rd.
Caps, comments with partial translations as usual (this time there’re quite a lot, sorry because this became terribly long), and two clips (including Nakai making girls fain and Kimutaku in drag 
)
You are welcome to ask for the PV-clip, but I’d suggest you toget the full, HQ version from JPS.
Filed under: J-TV, Shounen Club, Summary | Tags: NEWS, Shounen Club, Shokura, ザ少年倶楽部
np. Janne Da Arc – -R-TYPE- ｢瞳の色｣
This month’s SC has NEWS guesting, as I mentioned in the monthly preview (..the what?) already.
Caps, comments, a streaming-link to the Junior League and a clip to download!
