Japan's popular idol1 group Sports Music Assemble People, or SMAP, announced on Sunday that it will disband on Dec. 31.
日本流行偶像团体SMAP周日宣布将于12月31日解散。
All five members of the group, Masahiro Nakai, Takuya Kimura, Tsuyoshi Kusanagi, Goro Inagaki and Shingo Katori, will remain with their current agency Johnny & Associates Inc., but will focus on solo careers, said the agency.
The move came after a reported disaccord within the group this January when the group's long-time manager Michi Ijima resigned after a feud2 with the agency's leadership.
Four of the five SMAP members decided3 then to leave the agency to follow their manager, while one pledged to stay.
The group later apologized to the fans and said they would stay together. The decision was hailed by fans and even politicians including Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who was quoted as saying, "It is good that they will stay together, as that is what their fans wished for."
