SMAP is a Japanese boy band formed by Johnny & Associates. While originally consisting of six members, the group currently consists of five: Masahiro Nakai, Takuya Kimura, Goro Inagaki, Tsuyoshi Kusanagi, and Shingo Katori. The group's name is an acronym standing for Sports Music Assemble People.
The best selling boyband in Asia by more than 35 million records sold, SMAP released their first CD in 1991 and has since released over fifty singles and twenty albums. Approximately more than half of the singles and a half of the albums have reached the top of the Japanese Oricon music charts. In recent years, the interval between the band's single CD releases has become longer, and they are now released approximately once a year.
The members of SMAP have also pursued careers outside of music, including involvement in television variety shows, dramas, commercials, and movies, making them one of the most popular Johnny's groups. Largely due to their popularity, Johnny & Associates became the most successful agency in Japan, with earnings of almost three billion Japanese yen in 1995.
Stromal membrane-associated protein 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SMAP1 gene.
The protein encoded by this gene is similar to the mouse stromal membrane-associated protein-1. This similarity suggests that this human gene product is also a type II membrane glycoprotein involved in the erythropoietic stimulatory activity of stromal cells. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms.

Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) is an American environmental research satellite launched on 31 January 2015. It is one of the first Earth observation satellites being developed by NASA in response to the National Research Council’s Decadal Survey.
Mission overview
SMAP will provide measurements of the land surface soil moisture and freeze-thaw state with near-global revisit coverage in 2–3 days. SMAP surface measurements will be coupled with hydrologic models to infer soil moisture conditions in the root zone. These measurements will enable science applications users to:
SMAP observations will be acquired for a period of at least three years after launch. A comprehensive validation, science, and applications program will be implemented, and all data will be made available publicly through the NASA archive centers.

Holiday in the Sun
by: SmapHey you really need a holiday
But you don't know where to go
No time to go far away
No time to change the flow
Hey you really need to take a break
But you don't know what to do
You don't need tickets taking you to places you'd like to be
Look out your window now it's waiting there outside
Open the door and you're in a simple paradise
Gonna take a little holiday in the sun
Take it easy, have some fun
Just take some time
Let's get carried away
You can find a holiday wherever you go
Good times always shine, you know
So everyone
Come take a holiday in the sun
Hey you really need to get away
Leave your work and stress behind
You don't need to pack up your bags just bring a change of mind
Blue skies are calling you it's gonna be so nice
One step outside and you're in a simple paradise
Gonna take a little holiday in the sun
Take it easy, have some fun
Just take some time
Let's get carried away
You can find a holiday wherever you go
Good times always shine, you know
So everyone
Come take a holiday in the sun
Everybody needs a holiday
