SMAP Buttons (2006-12-11)
I took today's pictures last month, but due to the Hawaii entries, I'm just posting them now. What you see are a bunch of people, mainly women, waiting patiently in Shinjuku's (![kanji](./kanji/shinjuku.gif)
SMAP is a hugely popular five-member band here. The band has
thousands of thousands (millions?) of fans across Japan and even
overseas. Besides concerts and albums, the members also do movies
and TV etc.
I never understand the mentality behind "idol worship". I never once went crazy about a singer or actor in my life, not even when I was a teenager. And to wait for hours just to get a button?! You can't even pay me to do that. Er...yes, you can if the price is right.
