scottishlassI really can't believe that Johnny's Entertainment made Kimura decline the nomination for Best Actor Award for Bushi no Ichibun! They said it is their policy that their talents don't compete in awards. WTF??!! We are talking Japanese Actor Awards here!!! I can understand that some other talents from JE can't compete with normal actors, but Kimura-san??? JE and Kitigawa are CRAZY! They'll loose their one big super star this way.
Now rumours are abound that Kimura might leave JE to join newly formed AVEX Management - if that is true then SMAP will be history as well - unless all of SMAP leave JE. (which I secretly hope as Tsuyoshi and Shingo are serious actors too who wouldn't mind getting nominated for awards or such).
With recent rumours about who is the next SMAP, I think JE has grown tired of their aging boy band SMAP. Hey, JE, SMAP has a lot of fans of ALL ages, not only screaming teeny boppers. But seriously which JE band is able to replace SMAP if it is true?
KAT-TUN? Let's be serious here, they only debuted a year ago and there are already signs of break up with Jin having a rest and Kame about to study acting in the US next year.
NewS? I decline to comment, YamaPi might excell as an actor ten years down the road but so far the band only made news due to drinking.
Arashi? Now, here is potential as their style is similar to SMAP and the voices are very well attuned to each other. Besides they might have a new superstar among them - Matsumoto Jun who has the potential to be a great actor.
I just hope SMAP won't disband, but they should get the hell out of the claws that is Johnny's Entertainment.

LOL. On a completely non-related note, have you heard Kang Dong-won singing? In 1% there was a scene of him singing ~ not sure whether or not it was his real voice, but he didn't exactly rock my boat either :D Still, I love him to bits ^^;;
*sheepish grin*

He is in fact a good enough singer. And I love his voice, it is very distinctive from other male voices of Korean actors. I especially loved it in Duelist where he deliberately went lower in his voice.
Still, I love him to bits ^^;;
Me too ... even though I have this really passionate obsession with Kimura Takuya, Dong-won is and always will be my #1 toy boy :D
