I don't see what it matter if they are from the same company or not, its like having a relative, who you almost never see, Its relative, its closer then a total strange, but its still someone you barely know.
Its human nature, who you have more personal, job contact you get closer/friendlier. Sometimes closer then your blood relatives.
Anyway, MS is boring and badly managed if you asking me. There is just too much guest, and too little time, and while I like Tamo-san interaction with WSMAP most of the time he just isn't anymore in control


Kohaku is boring, a bit old fashioned fzll with artist I "never" see/heard of, I usually skip to SMAP/Nakai-kun part listening into one or two song in beween
