SMAP’s song for “Pray for Japan”

The world has been praying for Japan. To bring hope to the nation of Japan, these two video montages were created with of course, none other than using SMAP’s songs. SMAP is probably the most well known and successful Japanese boy band group from Johnnys Entertainment. Making their debut in 1988, this group originally had 6 members. One year later, one member left the group to pursue his dream which left the group to the remaining five members, Katori Shingo, Kimura Takuya, Nakai Masahiro, Inagaki Goro and Kusanagi Tsuyoshi. Their fanbase has become worldwide loved by those of all ages from children to grandparents. They do it all. From singing, to dancing, to acting, these five guys have got it going on! Their weekly TV show, Smap x Smap is such a hit and is watched by so many that when celebrities from the U.S. visit Japan for a movie release, they know to make a cameo on this show. Past celebrities include Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, Will Smith, Matt Damon and even the late Michael Jackson.

They have currently re-recorded their 2003 hit song “Sekai ni Hitotsu Dake no Hana” in Chinese which will be available through Avex China for download to your cell phone. Proceeds from this download will be donated to the earthquake relief effort. Click here to watch.

So what better group and song to bring the message of hope and courage to Japan than SMAP, the group that is loved by so many.
