He got frozen out that hard, and yet here he goes again

It's always some Johnny's-affiliated women's magazine putting out these Nakai-defense pieces, huh 🥹

Actually, it's Woman A who's sending the 'SMAP isn't taboo' message here

a coaster with 'The Only Flower in the World' (SMAP's signature song) on it

words that should conjure up Nakai Masahiro — words you'd think Woman A wouldn't even want to say out loud

It's just Kimutaku's trial balloon (everyone else is doing the reading-into-it on their own)
Depending on which way the wind blows, that 'Woman A' could really be finished

Getting dragged into this without his say-so — must be a real headache for Kimutaku too

Johnny's does nothing but cause problems, doesn't it
Does Japanese society even need this agency?

It's kind of gross how outsiders keep dragging out a group that already fell apart and disbanded

Whatever happened, time isn't turning back now

There was a commercial compilation with a clip of SMAP from their Junior days mixed in — Mori wasn't in it, but Kokubun was (Mori Katsuyuki left before SMAP's debut; Kokubun Taichi is a current member)

Their singing and dancing are both weak, and there's nothing worth watching as a group — why bring them back?
39Anonymous2026/08/27(木) 07:29:37.06ID:jwwWznjb0
If people start making a big deal out of stuff like this,
it's going to put pressure on every member's birthday
they'll have to prep a perfectly matched message T-shirt every single time lol
42Anonymous2026/08/27(木) 07:30:13.28ID:Nl0H9NCX0
The text on the shirt was just blue, and somehow that's enough to tie it to Nakai — impressive reach
43Anonymous2026/08/27(木) 07:30:34.49ID:G9E6K+KI0
I'm the one who arrested SMAP.
I was Furuhata Ninzaburo. (a nod to the famous TV detective who once investigated the group)
45Anonymous2026/08/27(木) 07:30:48.59ID:/YxhcBYL0
You know the type — people who only flaunt their 'generous consideration' once they're sure they've got the upper hand
47Anonymous2026/08/27(木) 07:31:23.71ID:W3iffQvE0
Wonder if Kimutaku will ever fall off his cloud too
50Anonymous2026/08/27(木) 07:32:15.60ID:GgW0rmtN0
Kind of like that 'THE END OF LOVE' shirt soccer's Hasebe used to wear, maybe?
51Anonymous2026/08/27(木) 07:32:30.47ID:F858zww30
The SMAP aunties are losing their minds over this (typo-ish 5ch joke: 糖 for 頭, same reading)
52Anonymous2026/08/27(木) 07:32:53.78ID:mOgoMEAW0
It's strange how not one of Nakai's defenders — Furuichi, 'Hashige' (Hashimoto Toru), or that wig-wearing hag — ever says 'Hey Nakai, waive your confidentiality and sue Fuji TV and the third-party committee!'
66Anonymous2026/08/27(木) 07:36:18.58ID:c1EeXpLO0
>>52
Nakai Masahiro's confidentiality obligation is a condition set by Woman A, right?
It's Woman A who can release him from it, not Nakai himself

Way too many people get this wrong lol
53Anonymous2026/08/27(木) 07:33:02.90ID:nWtFiWm/0
Sang all those pretty, idealistic lyrics, and it ended this pathetically lol
54Anonymous2026/08/27(木) 07:33:05.20ID:m/JHD+fo0
Moved by the friendship.
Even more convinced now it was a false accusation.
58Anonymous2026/08/27(木) 07:34:00.77ID:CuSTmeVO0
The other three have such good group cohesion
guess they want to keep even someone like Nakai on their side
59Anonymous2026/08/27(木) 07:34:07.17ID:X9DoaUCJ0
If SMAP came back with Kimutaku vouching for them, would anyone even criticize it?
60Anonymous2026/08/27(木) 07:34:09.11ID:USj3SeAW0
Really is handsome, I gotta say
Am I seriously the only guy who thinks that about him?
70Anonymous2026/08/27(木) 07:37:09.54ID:6E3AefLv0
Pointless

Nobody cares

Just some Johnny's auntie desperately starting a thread (lol)

Let's just ignore it
71Anonymous2026/08/27(木) 07:37:23.00ID:36hbfUsg0
That dance, well… I choreographed it 🤓
72Anonymous2026/08/27(木) 07:37:31.02ID:osY4K1HY0
The way the H and N are hidden in the shot
it's gotta be code for 'HELP NAKAI' — only I would catch that
