Talk:SMAP

message: Research request: I know that one of the members of SMAP has done signficant anime seiyuu work, including the role of Riiya in Akazukin Cha Cha. Let me look that up on AniDB or someplace like that. Also, SMAP is freqeuntly satirized in anime, particularly the reference in Sensei no Ojikanj where one of the characters has an unhealthy obsession with a Goro-like singer.

message: You know, it really should read that the Backstreet Boys are an American version of SMAP instead of the way it's written now. The unfortunate boy-band tradition is older in Japan than America, and hell - SMAP has been around longer and has had more per capita success. I guess it really is hard for you Americans to not have a white-centric view of the universe. Kenzilla
:And I guess it's really hard for you non-Americans to avoid pointing out every perceived flaw of Americans, real or not, never mind the fact that there are much, much worse cultures and governments in the world. And introducing the racial aspect of it - nice race-baiting. I've been to Europe, I can attest that Europeans are definitely as a whole more racist than Americans as a whole, and don't even get me started on Australians. I will guess by the tone of your comment that you have never been to the U.S., which is the prerequisite qualification for America-bashing. Having said that, Backstreet Boys and SMAP both suck.--220.49.228.16 (talk) 08:02, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Europeans may be more racist. I don't know. Americans are more insular, though, which is the real point of Kenzilla's statement. TRiG (talk) 14:20, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Backstreet Boys

message: This is probably the longest, most detailed entry on a band I've seen yet. Far too many restrict themselves to the discography, with little prose. A picture of the band would be great, though. LordAmeth 01:27, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Project Assessment

message: Any particular reason the current picture is uh.. of TOKIO? You know, being as they're an entirely different band (albiet of the same promotional agency) and all.
:Yes, a picture of this page is TOKIO.Somebody should correct as soon as possible.
::This misunderstanding appears to be the result of some anon vandalising :Image:SMAP.jpg, which understandably is of SMAP.--ZayZayEM 03:38, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

*Oppose. SMAP stands for "Sports Music Assemble People", and therefore it's an abbreviation. As stated in the Wikipedia's naming conventions, use abbreviations when "almost exclusively known only by its abbreviation and is widely known and used in that form". --staka (T) 03:39, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
