They must have been so tired during this time, all the excitement of their debut and nonstop promo for the World Cup.
12:00PM – 森田一義アワー 笑っていいとも! (Waratte Iitomo!)
Promotion for the 1999 World Volleyball Championship and debut single, A RA SHI.
- This section was hosted by SMAP’s Nakai Masahiro.
- The members introduce themselves and their group name (Sakurai is not present). Aiba – TOKIO. Matsujun: KinKi. Nino: Great at dancing, V6. Ohno: Shonentai. Then they say Sakurai is froM SMAP.
- Nakai = “you’re doing something everyday lately! I see you 2 times a day, that’s like 10 times a week!”
I notice that early on Jun takes the lead on a lot of these promotional shows in terms of explaining their activities, he does a it well! This was a short clip but they had some great smiles here.
