I was shocked when I heard about SMAP (possibly?) disbanding too! I kind of expected them to just go on indefinitely until they were ready to retire. And, I think I could understand better if they were leaving to retire from the industry or something, but yeah, it's surprising that they want to leave Johnny's to presumably start out somewhere new or independent, especially considering where they are in their careers and how successful they've been. But it's a lot harder to take it all in when things aren't totally set in stone and rumors abound, so all I can do is what and see what happens. >_<
But yeah, even though I'm not a SMAP fan or anything, I've seen them enough through dramas I've watched for the story or for other actors in it or seen other talents guest on their shows, that it's still like, wow things'll be really different. But yeah, thinking about how they were kind of the basis for what modern Johnny's groups have become, it really feels like the end of an era. T_T
