[TV] SMAP - Sekai ni Hitotsu Dake no Hana @ MSSL 2003

26 December 2003

It was in the year 2003 when I watched the Music Station Super Live of that year that I truly got fascinated with the Japanese Entertainment industry. Its so sparkly and I was in search of something to LOVE. At that time, the final LotR movie was out and everything was ending. I HAD to find something else to like. And I did. I am liking it for the fifth year now and it is still going strong, this so-called "Japanese phase" of mine.

Now I know the title is SMAP, but it would help if I yakk a bit first to show how big of a step I took from hating Johnny's to umm... what I am today. This performance is the reason why I hated Johnny's Jimusho. I have to say, SMAP sound like they swallowed a rock before the performance. And probably bleach. xD And it really irked me. I was into the whole J-rock thing back then. Gackt, L'Arc~en~Ciel, Dir en grey and Plastic Tree. It was quite a long phase, took up most of the 5 years that I was into Japanese music. Practically made me shun all mainstream pop.

And then "1 Litre of Tears" and "Nobuta wo Produce" happened. But lets not go too far. SMAP can't sing and they turned me off. But today, I dug out this particular video and watched it because I just watched "Boku no Ikiru Michi" and I am so into this song right now. I watched it again... and well... the phrase "They suck at singing" didn't came into my mind first. Instead, "Wow, what originality!" did. Luckily, I think my inner monologue still had a hint of sarcasm in it. xD This group singing is like... a group of MatsuJun singing. xD

T_T Johnny's Jimusho. You brainwashed me. Its a love-hate thing. Eff YOU! RAWR.

Its safe to say that without this MSSL 2003, I wouldn't have explored the sparkly world of J-pop and subsequently Jdramas and movies. xD Oh nostalgia. I am strolling down memory lane. xD
