Japanese music stars Takuya Kimura and Akanishi Jin recently reunited in a hilarious moment that has been circulating the internet. The two singers, who were once part of the popular J-pop group SMAP, have remained close friends since their days in the band. The moment was captured on video by a fan and posted to Twitter, where it quickly went viral. In the video, Kimura can be seen asking Akanishi if he is unemployed. Akanishi responds with an exaggerated expression of surprise and laughter, prompting Kimura to join in as well. Fans have been delighted by this exchange between the two friends, noting how comfortable they seem around each other after all these years. Kimura and Akanishi are both incredibly successful solo artists in their own right now, but fans still fondly remember them from their time together as part of SMAP. The band was one of Japan’s most popular groups during its heyday from 1988 to 2016 when they disbanded due to internal issues among members. Since then, all five members have gone on to pursue individual projects in music and acting with great success. Despite being busy with their own careers now, it appears that Kimura and Akanishi still make time for each other whenever possible - even if it’s just for a few minutes of lighthearted banter like this recent exchange caught on camera!
