SMAP To Release Last Album "SMAP 25 YEARS" Before Disbandment

SMAP has announced that it will be releasing a best-of album titled "SMAP 25 YEARS" on December 21.

Fans will be able to vote on the songs included on the album. 400 songs will be available to choose from, and the top 50 songs will be included on the 3-disc album.

SMAP will be re-recording some of its music for the album to update the sound of some of its older songs.

The upcoming album is being described as the group's "last work", with no other releases planned at this time.

In addition to the group's final album, SMAP will be releasing a DVD and Blu ray set titled "Clip! Smap! Complete Singles" on December 28. The set will feature music videos for all 55 of the group's singles. 63 songs in total will be included in the set, with live recordings used for songs that did not have a music video.

SMAP will be disbanding on December 31 after 25 years together. The group's song "Sekai ni Hitotsudake no Hana" was recently named Japan's most influential song of all time.
