TOKIO is unique as they're the only Johnnys that do not dance (I can count KinKi Kids in since Domoto Tsuyoshi looks awkward when he dances unlike Domoto Koichi)
I don't listen to SMAP but I can understand why they're still popular up to now as vocally they might not be the best but it's their non music activities that're able to still draw people in as leader Nakai is a very good host (although singing & cooking wise it's a different matter lol)
AKB48 might be deemed as idols but it's somewhat ironic that whenever member/s leave the group , who's decided will be the centre of the cover of their next single/album & also who will be in the top 48 or whatever nonsense , these are always been capitalised which I feel it's quite hypocritical
AKB48 members are not allowed to date and all that but the above mentioned matters are supposedly ok ?
And frankly the whole yearly 'general elections' thing is so fake , it's not as though they're changing the world or something every time this's organised if not broadcast live on TV
