White Love, as others have commented, is a song that will define for many J-Pop in the 90's, and thus has lived on in the collective memories of many, many fans. And now Speed is back together, reworking some of their original hits, and producing new music as well. Lucky for us!
i still love their songs after all these years. they're so etched down in my heart that i can still rmb how to sing them even though i know no japanese.
i thought that they are still the number 1 selling band? 'none of their singles released ever sold below the 550,000 mark - a feat. yet to be matched by any other jpop artist or band''they sold over 20 million/20,000,000 units of CD before disbandment '
Well, not anymore they're not...it's been many years since they disbanded and we have so many very successful bands since then who sell astonishing amounts of their records.
SPEED were the no. 1 selling band when they were at the peak of their career. But it's been so long, now there's plenty of other bands who sell much more than they do.
But I think they still remain as 1 of Japan's top selling 'girlbands'.
Speed was a popular group in the 90's. To the question about whether they are comparable to SMAP...I can say that "yes" or even more. They were at the same level as TRF, Globe, MAX, Namei Amuro at that time. If I remember correctly, they were the first teenage pop group and lead to the establishment to the girls pop group, such as the morning mesumes. But no one is comparable to them after their disband in 2000
I wouldn't be so sure, SMAP can be considered 'legends' in the japanese music industry, along with SPEED.
But SMAP has been very inactive in the music scene lately...probably since they're already too old to release anymore singles or albums as a "boyband", so they mainly focus on hosting shows & acting in dramas & movies nowadays.
Although they're still very popular, but there's other bands who are more popular than they are now.
oh cum on, smap is lik the band of yesterday. i stil lik thum, but i rathr lik the bands l8ly. but speed is diff. they r awesom! idk y speed disbandoned in theyre career.
Is it just me or is it that only the two lead singers that are worth anything at all? I first heard this song on a CD, then looked for the name of the song via lyrics.
hmm...how to explain this...I read up on some articles and coincidentally obtained a song from them years ago. Apparently in the 90's they were uberly popular to their hordes of fans. I'd say they were as popular as SMAP or eve more so.

あなたに着いて行きたい。
離れていても離れないでね
天使がくれた出逢いは
あの空を突き抜けて永遠に輝き続けるの
果てしない星の命のようにくじけそうになっても愛し続けます。
アイシテル 抱いていて
あなたのために生きていきたい。

違うと思うな、確かに表現は今いちだけど、その気になれば当時の歌い方できるはずよ。
それにステージパフォーマンスについてだけど、人気絶頂時とは注目度が異なるから、(色んなリスナーに受け入れて貰えるかな?)って不安もあるだろうから、いきなり当時のようには歌いづらいでしょうね。

Nope, trust me, SMAP are still very popular today...it's just that, they're not as active musically anymore.
By the way, SPEED is back, they re-formed in 2008, they just released a new single titled 'S.P.D' in may I think.
