As a HUGE SMAP fan, watching lots of past dramas and Waratte II Tomo (a lunchtime programme like Pebble Mill) it really makes me nostalgic for my life back in Japan. Currenlty watching Be nice to people (I watched it in Japan) I had to put on the T-shirt that I bought, then. 3 PEACE. #katorishingo

I have been watching a lot of Japanese dramas that I watched when I lived in Japan in the 90's, especially the ones with members of SMAP in them. Have just finished watching Doku starring Shingo Katori. #jdrama #smap Enjoyed re-watching this again. Next are the ones on Netflix UK.

@matthewjrudd.bsky.social Carol Kenyon. Love her vocals. LEGEND.

Have just done a vlog about my Japanese journey, as I have just watched Ep3 of Japan's number one jerk salaryman starring Shingo Katori and Masaaki Saki was the guest and I was smiling from ear to ear as both men played Monkey - 1978 & 2006 respectively. #MonkeyMagic #ShingoKatori

BREAKING: Ex-SMAP member Nakai Masahiro, who's been embroiled in a scandal involving alleged sexual assault, has announced he's ending his entertainment career. The announcement is unlikely to help Fuji TV, which is accused of forcing female employees to "entertain" Nakai.
