The meeting went on and after 3 hours, Watari said, "If I drink canned coffee, I will get good ideas", he got out of the meeting room. Takuya imitated Watari's voice again and said, "If I drink canned coffee, I will get good ideas", so they were both drinking coffee at the end of the CM.

Utaban 06/04/27

SMAP showed up in last night Utaban to promote their new single "Dear WOMAN". In the opening Nakai said this talk was recorded 2 days ago (i.e. 4/25)!!!

They talked with TBS female announcers about women's worries. Two groups of comedians dressed in office lady style and make jokes with SMAP.

Takuya said he has got sinusitis and the bacteria has come up to his eyes. He has seen the doctor and got a MRI scan. That's why he wore sunglasses during the show. But he looked absolutely cool in sunglasses! Haha!
Although Takuya was sick, he spoke most of the time and laughed a lot during the talk !
