SMAP News... and a word on Shukudai Kun

Wah!! Finally! A new album is being released!!! It's out September 24th and I can't wait to get a copy!! It was advertised on SxS tonight and it said one of the tracks was by Will I Am from the Black Eyed Peas - how cool is that!??

Also a tour has been announced for September too. I am so gutted!! After living in Japan for nearly 2 years I have not managed to see a concert - now as I am leaving next week they announce a tours for a couple of weeks after I leave!! Ahhh!! So unfair! Then again - I do wonder if I would have even managed to get tickets - all my quests for Arashi tickets were unsuccessful so I have to tell myself that maybe it would have turned out the same for SMAP.

Anyhow - next week's SMAP promises to be great... WILL SMITH!!! Yeah! My favourite SxS guest and he is returning to the Bistro so it should be great... he will have Charlize Theron in tow though! Hope she's a laugh.

And toight's Shukadai Kun!! Much love between Ohno and Sho!! It was so cute! Ohno was wiping Sho's face and patting him on the back after he had choked on his drink!! I really liked the guest too... (her ichiban was Ohno!) she was an ex-yankee - but she was a nice change from the usual female guests. As for MatsuJun total cop out on the spicy stuff!? What a girl (though I wouldn't have faired much better)! Even Aiba was giving the other stuff a go - but he was sweating like crazy! It seemed that only Ogura and Ohno didn't run over to the 'Oasis Zone' for a drink to cool the tastebuds! Yappari O-Chan!!

God! I'm gonna miss Monday nights after I go back home...
