As everyone knows, legendary pop group SMAP will be disbanding on December 31. Prior to that,  the group will be releasing a best album “SMAP 25 YEARS” on December 21 and a music video compilation “Clip! Smap! Complete Singles” on December 28.

The best-of album will come as a 3 CD set and approximately 50 songs are scheduled to be included with the tracks being chosen from the most requested songs. You can start voting from a list of over 400 single/album songs at Victor’s special site  until October 4.

The video compilation will be available in DVD and Bluray versions. This will include 63 songs, including the double A-side songs for 55 singles.

Since the disbandment issue, fans have been purchasing their hit single “Sekai Ni Hitotsu Dake No Hana” which is effectively pushing it up the Oricon charts. With a new total of 2,855,427 copies, it has now surpassed CHAGE & ASKA’s “Say Yes” (2,822,450  copies) to land at the 6th place of best selling single of all time! Fans are hoping to reach the 3 million mark before the year ends.
