Crying Japanese boyband

Would you like to see a Japanese boyband crying?
Of course you would!
Laugh all you may at the hilarious all-white outfits (especially Mori's crop-top) and their badly pronounced English, but it's hard not to go "awwww" when Nakai starts crying and the song's barely begun. Afterwards he can barely talk...
After eight years together, Mori was leaving SMAP. It was 1996, and it seemed like the end of the world.

SMAP, performing "Best Friend".

They probably never would've guessed they'd still be going strong as a five-member group twelve years later...
