Apparently SMAP member Tsuyoshi Kusanagi was found walking around naked in a park yelling incoherently. I was on JET when SMAP was first starting out, so this is pretty startling and disturbing. (Though perhaps not quite as startling as their continued popularity all these years.)

I feel so sorry about this incident. Hey, you have some similar experience, don’t you? Just got a little bit drunk, give him a break. They canceled all TV shows, endorsements just because this!? He is not doing any drugs, just had too much drink. Japanese people are so …. Poor guy…
the lifestyle was his choice. Don’t feel sorry for him
