allkpop



SMAP recently held an interview with Daily Sports News and it's been revealed that all five members of SMAP have donated more than 400 million yen altogether ( Approximately $4,866,760 USD) to the Japan Red Cross. This donation was not made under the group SMAP, but they personally donated the money individually after what happened after the earthquake.

In addition to their personal donations, all the members donated their appearance fees for the March 21st episode of "SMAPxSMAP" on Fuji TV. Kusanagi Tsuyoshi also donated donated his appearance fee for FNS special music program, which aired on March 27th.

The March 21st episode of "SMAPxSMAP" had a change from the usual show as they changed their theme to "How can we help right now?" and asked the whole nation for donations through their show. Additionally on "SMAP Ganbarimasu!!" on TV Asahi, which is scheduled to air on April 2nd, they had created a corner related to the earthquake disaster. The members of SMAP are taking the initiative in supporting the reconstruction of the earthquake.

The members of SMAP didn't say a single word about their personal donations but only stated, "We are only doing what we can do to help right now." Johnny's Entertainment has confirmed that SMAP donating money but refused to reveal the exact amount of money because they didn't donate to be in the news but rather to support the people affected by the disaster.
