Takeshi was at the SMAPxSMAP bistro to promote Returner. Asked if the fans would feel jealous to put so many top stars together, the leader of SMAP Masahiro Nakai disagreed. He happily said, "Takeshiro Kaneshiro is the artist we want most to be on on this show. Finally we could see his real self!" Kimura Takuya seems to have studied a lot about Takeshi and he didn't hold his praises. "From the past works of Takeshi, he is an all rounder who cannot be cornered or labelled!"
Tsuyoshi Kusanagi has been studying Korean and plans to be the Japanese entertainer representative for Korea. One language alone was difficult for him to handle and when he saw Takeshi was fluent with five languages, he was humbled. No wonder why Tsuyoshi said from the bottom of his heart that Takeshi Kaneshiro is just incredible! Shingo Katori meet Takeshi and at once felt at home with him because both loved to play video games. Shingo said secretly that he really envied too much that Takeshi could be a character in the video game (Onimusha III) and that Takeshi was truly the dream of all video game players!
When Takeshi met with the SMAP members, it was inevitable to play pool. Takeshi who hadn't played pool for a long time scored at every shot and caused Goro Inagaki to lose terribly. As a result, Goro put the pamphlet of RETURNER and stuck it on his own forehead and acted as the lift operator to promote the film, causing much laughter.

if ANYONE out there has an english transcript of this appearance PLEASE post it for us. i would love to read what takeshi had to say ("his real self") and what his interaction was like with the SMAP guys. i bet they were all so cute together.
