SMAP and Arashi under this list is not surprising but I’m happy to see Kanjani8 and TOKIO here as well. I was not aware that Shingo and Yoko has that much companies under their belt. XD. The thing with Kokubun and Nagase are unexpected either. I’d better pay attention to their CMs from now on.

Got anything to say?
