Almost done with all the clips. Only a couple left to be done after this ^^
I always try to screencap people evenly, but sometimes I swear the director has one or two good, steady close-ups and they’re both of Kimutaku.
I have nothing against watching the man, but if someone wondered for the reason. Shingo for example is usually very hard to cap, not to mention Tsuyoshi.
I don’t know whether or not we’ll be subbing the newest PV, but I’d like to think we’ll do one of the lives. There’ve been a lot anyway.

2008.08.18 SMAP & TUBE – Super Summer Hit Medley
SMAP perform a wonderful, wonderful summer medley with the Japanese household name TUBE.
Includes the following songs: Paradiso ~愛の迷宮~ (2008), Season in the Sun (1986), あー夏休み (1990), さよなら Yesterday (1991) & BANG! BANG! バカンス! (SMAP 2005)
This medley is like a picture of SMAP: There are sparkles, colourful shirts, pretty women, dancing, total frolicking, and you can feel the summer joy. Watch out for the members’ (especially Nakai’s since it’s rare to hear him actually singing a verse ’til the end without taking the mic away from his lips!) solo lines.
I made an mp3-rip for myself of this and can upload it by request.

2008.09.01 SMAP & Coldplay – Viva La Vida
[MU] Download clip here
There we go.
It’s cold in Finland and I seriously miss Japan already. So to make the longing go away for a while, part 2 of the media-SPAM.
SMAP was wonderful live, and I’m not even halfway done talking about it.
2008.06.23 SMAP & 吉田兄弟 – Special Collaboration (Dynamite shamisen-style)
The famous shamisen-duo 吉田兄弟 [Yoshida Kyodai] do a surprising dance-collaboration with SMAP.

2008.06.30 SMAP & 鈴木雅之 & 菊池桃子 – 渋谷で5時
鈴木雅之 & 菊池桃子 [Suzuki Masayuki & Kikuchi Momoko] perform the legendary song. Enjoy the talk-parts ^^

2008.07.07 SMAP & Blue Man Group – Special Collaboration
After the comedy in the beginning we hear an interesting version of 青いイナズマ.
I can’t take my eyes off of Kimutaku’s.. is that a shirt?

2008.07.14 SMAP & Monta & Brothers – Dancing All Night
Straight back to the 80s. Some SMAP-members surprise with their vocal tricks.

2008.07.21 SMAP & MICA 3 CHU – Special Medley (I Don’t Know & rock vers of 俺たちに明日はある)
MICA 3 CHU is a temporary unit consisting of 中島美嘉 [Nakashima Mika] and comedy trio 森三中 [Morisanchuu].
Awesome. I swear the close-ups on SMAP-members look better than some (most) of their professiona photoshoots.
They were having so much fun doing this that you can sense it!

A note. I’m trying to get all the SxS music clips done during the weekend. And then I can get to the summarizing requests I’ve received.
This blog is not dead (and neither am I), even if I haven’t updated in a while.
Still in Tokyo, on my private-turned-business (…) -trip. Check あめぶろ for that.
The main reason for prolonging my stay were of course the SMAP-cons and after those I’m flying back to Europe this weekend.
So prepare yourselves for some updating.
This is, however, the beginning of SMAP-mediaSPAM (pun intended).
Performance-clips from SxS since May (where I had to leave off because of the crazy schedule. Info about me doing summaries in the future coming up).
2008.05.19 SMAP & 青山Thelma – Special Medley (Lion Heart & そばにいるね)
The sensation of 2008, pretty and talented Thelma proceeds to SmaSma.
Wonderful, touching and so much emotion.
Kimutaku‘s takeover SoulJa’s rap-part is so soft and heart-melting…

2008.05.26 SMAP & ABBA Gold – Special Medley (Mamma Mia; Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!; Dancing Queen)
ABBA Gold are one of the most known ABBA-tribute bands in Europe.
Shiny, glittery and so 70s 😉
If you’re from Sweden like me or just know ABBA otherwise, notice the epic failures in the displayed lyrics ^^

2008.06.02 SMAP & Mariah Carey – Special Medley (Hero, Touch My Body)
Japan loves the Diva, and the Diva loves SmaSma. Full versions of both songs.

2008.06.09 SMAP & 水谷豊 – California Connection
Mizutani-san is a true sweetheart, and being a huge SmaSma-fan he totally shone in the intro-talk before this performance ^^

2008.06.16 SMAP & Perfume – Polyrhytm & electro-version of 夜空ノムコウ
Insanely cute. Perfume made their big break recently, and even if they’re (or well, at least the majority of them) complete airheads, very amusing.
I swear Nakai would fit in there 😉
The electromix of 夜空ノムコウ surprised me, but flowed very well in the end.
You get an mp3 of that, because it’s quite nice.

As for those waiting for my reply to comments/PMs/emails, please be patient for a few more days.
I’ll be sure to get back to you soon.
Thank you. ♥
np. Kagrra, – 彩の讃歌
Apologies for the delay.
Finally a normal (..as “normal” as this show is ever going to get.. ^^) SmaSma!
Bistro, Sylvester Stallone (and some others from the cast of ‘Rambo 3’) in ‘King of Ball’ and the musical-guest, 80’s duo ‘Swing Out Sister’ (only the vocalist as guest though).
Clip-clop to the summary. (Download-links also added!)

np. 男闘呼組 – 秋 (slow version)
Anyways, SMAPxSMAP from last Monday, May the 5th. After one week’s break, SmaSma returns (..”returns”?).
So, the reason the summary is “a summary”, yeah..
Continue reading
np. Monkey Majik – Together
Welcome to the SMAPxSMAP MUSIC-special (last week we had the SPORTS-special), the 2-hour show that was _this_ close to killing me because some people decided to make me stick to my promise about “clipping all SMAPxSMAP-performances”.
Thanks a lot, guys.
So what we have here is.. music, music, Sophia Loren, music and more music. I’m glad that at least there wasn’t so much talk for me to summarize and I skipped most of it. Sorry but.. the clips should make up; there’s a mass of DL-links at the bottom.
Enjoy.

np. AFI – This Time Imperfect
I’m a day late from my usual schedule, reason being encoding of this insanely big file of SMAPxSMAP SPORTS-special from Monday, April the 14th.
Two bistro-segments, SMAP challenging pro-athletes in their own sports and a full 10-minute medley with the Jpop-princess Utada Hikaru.
Includes an extremely hyper Goro, who gets teased to no end 😉
Follow up.

np. 244ENDLI-x – Kurikaesu 春
This week’s SmaSma, and it seems that the last in a few weeks, since there were no previews for the next weeks’ shows, was nicely over an hour long.
Instead I think we will be getting (for SMAP’s anniversary!) four 2-hour specials after that, meaning that April the 14th there is a Sports-special, the 21st a Music-special etc.
So.. if anyone wants me to sum+clip something else while SmaSma takes a break, tell me. Or then I can just go and translate some songs and get them subbed ^^
Anyways, on with SMAPxSMAP from March the 31st, 2008.
We have an.. shall I say, interesting bistro with one of my favourite Japanese politicians, Calligraphy-challenge and a Pineapple-skit that makes you totally crack up. Plus an absolutely astonishing ballad-medley in the end.
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).
