notes: 'SMAP is one of the longest-running and most iconic Japanese boy bands. Debuting
  in 1991, the group took the Japanese entertainment industry by storm, becoming the
  most successful boy band in Japanese history and the best selling band in Asia,
  often referred to as a "national treasure" and a "fortune and property of the country"
  in Japan. They achieved an unprecedented level of success in numerous genres in
  the entertainment industry, including music, television, film, radio, and theater,
  as a group and individually.

  They were the first boy band to have a career spanning two decades, and was credited
  for changing the Japanese entertainment and music industry, in terms of prolonging
  longevity of boy bands and broadening careers by creating new opportunities for
  bands that followed. Their 2003 single, "The One and Only Flower in the World" ,
  released in 2003, is the best selling single in the 21st century and the fifth best
  selling single in Japanese history and has become the most recognized song in Japan,
  as it appears in text books used in school and children are taught to learn the
  song at a young age.

  They also had a weekly variety show, SMAP×SMAP, which became a ratings smash hit
  and went on to be one of Japan''s most famous TV shows. The show ranked #1 in the
  annual household share ratings in 1996, 1997, 1999 - 2002, 2006, and 2016 making
  it the most watched television show in Japan. The episode aired in January 2002
  is currently ranked #7 for the most watched Japanese variety show in history, with
  34.2 million viewers. It is the eighth longest-running prime-time television program
  in Japan, as of 2016.'
