This was a really funny article in my opinion, (maybe depressing for the people of Japan), on the Boy Band SMAP who are nearly all in their early 40's. Who would have thought that a Boy Band could have such a huge impact on the Japanese people and also the surrounding nations. Their fame makes sense considering they are they longest running famous Boy Band, being together for nearly 3 decades. I thought it was funny that Japan's minister of economy, trade, and industry mentioned that the economy would suffer as a result of the break up! I have to say I doubt that, but the article makes a pretty convincing argument in regards to their popularity.
