This episode is so much love!
- Ohno being chastised by Matsumoto sensei!
- The way they decide via janken so naturally
- Arashi ganging up on Aiba hahahahah Aiba is so pure!
- Aiba as Satoshi!!!
- JUNTOSHI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And also, I can actually feel the time pressure on Arashi (in particular Jun) to prepare for the concert, because this time it's not just the setlist, the lighting, sounds, effects. There is also the digital aspect to consider and all the extra functions that they have introduced to make the experience fun for fans. They could have just done a streaming and fans would be happy still, but they are Arashi, so they must go the extra mile! They must challenge themselves!

The fact that the remaining episodes will be releasing probably on daily basis - they are really cutting it very close. I cannot imagine the stress the concert staff and Arashi are under now. 

They must be counting down....and dreading the little time they have left, just as we are.  Thanks Nino for reminding us of that repeatedly in this video..

S: I'm looking forward to it today too.

A: Doesn't it look like we're about to study something?

S: What preparation are we going to do?

N: We're going to study.

O: I don't like sutdying...

A: Sensei!

M: Good morning.

ANOS: Good morning

S: Oh that white robe.

S: What are we preparing for today?

M: It's a hand-me-down.

[This is Matsumoto Teacher the Second Generation]

M: Ok everyone, we're going to do it today too.

S: By hand-me-down you mean...

A: It's being reused.

M: Good afternoon.

ANOS: Good afternoon!

M: The weather's again good today.

ANOS: That's right!

M: We're going to do it today too. What do you think we're going to do today?

N: I wonder what we're going to prepare.

O: I don't know...

A: What is it?

S: If it's something you to put on the white robe for...

M: Today's preparation is for this. Prepare for Friends Participation!

ANOS: Oh!

M: Ready, go!

AMNOS: This is 嵐 LIVE: Everyone prepare together! TV

[#6 Prepare for Friends Participation!]

N: Didn't we do it previously? This Friends Participation.

M: We did. We explained about it on the 2nd episode of Everyone prepare together! TV. Do you remember the contents, Ohno-kun?

O: What did we cover?

S: You remember right?

A: Of course I remember.

S: Aiba-san remembers it very well.

M: Aiba-kun.

A: Here! It is a preparation to watch together.

M: Correct!

A: Thank you.

O: ...

M: It's exactly as you say. Friends Participation, over here. Do you guys remember this picture?

A: Of course, of course.

M: This.

S: Oh, my famous piece of work! Thank you for keeping it so carefully.

M: Thank you. We used this to explain what the "Friends Participation" function is during the 2nd episode. As announced, we want to make preparations for this "Friends Participation" function in advance. Here we will explain about it.

A: Please do.

M: Ok.

M: Well, for those who are going to use this "Friends Participation" function, there was something we hope they can do early right? Do you remember that, Ohno-kun?

O: Eh? What was it?

N: You can't remember any of it at all.

A: Here, here, here!

M: Yes, Aiba-kun.

A: To find friends to watch together with early!

M: That's it. Aiba-san is in good form today! Ohno-san is totally off form!

O: I am sorry.

M: Please pay attention to it.

O: Yes, I will try my best.

M: It's not enough to just decide on the friends with whom you will watch with in advance using this "Friends Participation" function.

ANOS: Eh?

A: Is that so?

M: There are advance preparations needed beforehand.

S: Tell us about it then!

M: And so, we will explain them one by one today.

NS: Thank you.

AO: Please do!

S: Prepare TV!

M: After you have decided on the friends to watch with, the next thing to do is the group registration.

ANOS: Group registration...?

M: Yes. That was a good reaction!

S: By registering in advance, they will be able to watch it together on the actual day?

M: Yes, that's it. As expected (of you).

O: I see.

N: He got it right away.

M: Should I give you the white robe?

S: Eh? Instead of saying you'll give it to me, I hope you would return it to me.

[Sakurai Teacher the First Generation: Return it~]

N: Let it pass, he's Matsumoto-sensei!

M: I'm the teacher today. Pleaase let me have your favour.

S: Please use it.

M: Yes.

N: How can they do the group registration?

M: That's a good question.

N: Thanks.

M: Shall we do it?

S: Ok.

M: First up is this. 

S: Ah!

A: What that?

M: I'll explain. For example, here Arashi has formed one group for the "Friends Participation" function.

S: I see, an illustration.

M: They will participate in this form. The maximum size is five persons. You can go up to five persons. So for these people to proceed, they have to first decide on one person to be the leader.

S: Oh!

A: By janken?

N: Shall we go by janken?

A: Here we go.

ANOS: Jankenpon!

N: Ah...

A: Here we go.

AS: Jankenpon!

A: Yay!

M: Aiba-san!

A: Yes!

M: Is this the first time?

A: It is!

M: It's the first time.

A: I'm happy!

M: So Aiba-kun became the leader this time.

S: I see.

A: Yes.

S: What is he going to do?

M: So the steps for this leader will be different from the other four. I will explain now.

N: Oh I see..

After deciding on the leader, you have first do this. Access the "Friends Participation" page on the This is 嵐 LIVE special webpage. This step is the same for everyone. Next, everyone should click on this button to test your network environment. It will then check your network environment. There are different categories so please check for each one of them. This one here is important. To charge up your device before using it.

OS: That's true.

M: After you have marked this as checked, you will be able to proceed to the next page.

N: I see.

M: It's the same for everyone up to here.

ANOS: Ok.

M: And after this, the leader's steps will be slightly different from other members.

N: As expected for the leader.

A: Thanks.

M: I will first explain it for the leader.

A: Ok!

M: This is an explanation for Aiba-kun.

M: I'll explain it for the leader. First, after entering this page, the person who became the leader should click on this top button that says "Create a new group". This will lead into the next page to enter the group name as well as your nickname. Please also choose the icon of your choice.

ANOS: Oh...

M: After you have done that, click on the button for "Create group".

ANOS: Ok.

M: By doing that, you can form a new group, and your own name...

[SA-TO-SHI]

A: Eh?

O: Eh?

N: It's a nickname.

A: My nickname is Satoshi?

NS: It's Satoshi.

S: We usually call you Satoshi, don't we?

M: You are Satoshi.

A: I am Satoshi?

M: You are Satoshi.

N: Don't we call you Satoshi?

O: Satoshi, ganbare (do your best)!

A: From what I recall...My memories not quite...I remember it! I am Satoshi.

M: It's best not to be bothered by such details.

A: Ok, I got it.

M: Let's go to the next step. We have created the group and decided on the leader. After that, this invitation code will appear. Please send this code to the other 4 of us.

A: Got it. I will send it.

M: You can either copy the invitation code and send it or send it via LINE. This code is important.

A: Can I send it? How...Can I do it?

M: If you are unable to send this code, please do not become the leader!

S: You're disqualified!

N: Not qualified to be the leader.

M: Please.

M: That's what the leader has to do.

S: So the leader is the person in-charge of creating the group right?

M: That's right. You can call him the leader, but he can also be called the secretary.

S: I see.

A: That's true.

M: The leader who's acting as secretary will create this.

A: The leader will create it.

N: What should the rest of us do then?

M: I've kept you waiting. We'll go to the members next.

N: Please do.

M: For the other members, here. Proceed to the same page as mentioned before. Click on the bottom button that reads "Join with invitation code". Please enter the invitation code which the leader had sent across.

N: The code which Satoshi had sent across.

M: Yes.

N: Just copy it.

M: With that, you will be invited into the group. Please enter your nickname here and choose your icon. This page will then load and it will say that you have joined the team. With this, the group registration is completed.

S: Interesting!

AO: I see.

M: And so here's Satoshi, Sho, AIba, Nino, Jun.

A: Oh Aiba's there at the bottom.

M: That's Aiba.

O: I am Aiba.

S: Complicated.

M: With this, the group registration is completed.

N: It seems quite simple.

M: It is!

A: Seems so.

M: By the way, although I have created one group, this "Friends Participation" function allows you to join multiple groups.

S: Eh? Can that be done?

M: Yes. For example, although we have created one group here, Ninomiya-kun and Matsumoto-kun...

N: Yes?

M: They are classmates. They can create a separate "Classmates" group and let other people join in. They can spend time in that group before re-joining this group.

N: We can return to the group right?

M: Yes.

N: Oh, that's amazing!

S: We can come and go.

O: We can do anything.

S: I see.

S: But when the concert starts, the group may not continue chatting, so I guess this is for before the concert starts?

M: That's right.

S: To chat with different people about various topics is probably going to be enjoyable.

M: Yes, please do create groups during that time. I think everyone's going to want to do that.

A: If you have friends.

M: You would probably have many friends...friends you've met when you visit another place.

N: There are!

M: Local friends you are close with.

A: And probably also friends you've grown close to through Arashi. 

O: That's right.

M: That's why we hope you can create multiple groups and enjoy moving among them during that time.

S: That's great.

M: Also, it's possible to move around even during the actual concert.

O: Eh? Is that so?

N: Ah I see.

M: But for us, we definitely want to watch the concert right?

A: Yes.

N: There are quite a number of functions right? Such as the concentration mode. They can create different types of groups and mutilple groups too. There is so much they can do with it.

M: It's amazing right? We have tried out various challenges, including this "Friends Participation" function.

S: This is a huge challenge right?

M: It is. So the biggest issue is that by holding the concert on 31 Dec, the greatest difficulty might be the issue of time lag. That's because 31 Dec is known as the day when the network traffic is the busiest. I wonder how it will play out...

N: Does that mean that the footage each group and each member is watching may be affected by time lag?

M: That's right. That is the current issue the "Friends Participation" function is facing now.

ANOS: I see.

M: We are now working on this day and night.

ANOS: Thank you!

S: Sob sob.

M: Yes, we're sobbing. That's why there is something we need everyone's help with. We want to have a rehearsal for the "Friends Participation" function before the actual day.

S: Thank you for doing that! To be doing it for the first time on the actual day would cause worries for both Arashi and fans. Thank you for arranging for a rehearsal beforehand. Thank you.

M: I should be thanking you. In order for everyone to enjoy the "Friends Participation" function on the actual day, we will do everything we can to make preparation for it so we ask for your cooperation in this.

ANOS: Please do.

A: Rehearsal meaning...? When is that going to be?

M: For the rehearsal, please go to the "Prepare for Friends Participation" page on the This Is 嵐 LIVE special site. On 27 Dec, Sunday, at 13:00 JST. I'll repeat it. We'll do it on 27 Dec, Sunday, at 13:00 JST. 

S: 1pm.

M: Yes.

A: I got it.

M: I hope everyone will join in the rehearsal. If many people joined in, we will be able to find more areas of improvement. If you have time, please do join.

N: It's best to register the group in advance right?

M: That's right.

S: I see. Since it's a a rehearsal.

M: Yes.

N: We want to get feedback about this.

M: After our fans have used used the function, they can tell us if there are areas which are difficult to use. We will try to fix it if possible. We want to brush up (the function).

N: Can that be done with just 4 days to go?

M: We can. We will fight to do it the best we can.

N: Wonderful! Thank you!

M: It starts at 1pm but please join in slightly earlier instead of just at about the start time. Please join in after the venue opens and try out the functions. 

N: Even if it's for practice, it's best to join in earlier, instead of cutting it close (to the start time).

M: Please do so!

A: I'm looking forward to it! You can chat while looking at each other's face.

M: That's right.

N: Sensei, when and where can we do the group registration?

M: You can do it from today onwards!

ANOS: Eh!

S: I'm surprised!

M: Please go to the "Prepare for Friends Participation" page on the This Is 嵐 LIVE special site. You can start preparing for it today so please do go register your group!

S: Basically, just come to the "Prepare for Friends Participation" page on the This Is 嵐 LIVE special site. 

M: Yes. You can get it done when you come to that page.

ANOS: I see.

M: The rehearsal is on 27 Dec so those who are participating has until the prior day, 26 Dec (Saturday), 18:00 JST, to register the groups. Please do so!

S: There is also Arashi ni Shiyagare...it's so busy!

M: Ohno-san.

M: Please do it!

O: Got it. For the group registration, please do it as soon as possible!

M: With this, we have explained about what we are challenging ourselves with for our first livestreamed concert. I hope our fans will participate and enjoy yourselves!

ANOS: Please do!

M: Ok, I'll affix it!

N: What's wrong?

M: He came to help without me saying anything.

O: Because it's tough to do it by yourself.

M: Here it is.

M: It's affixed!

O: Thank you.

S: It's as if he gave the explanations!

M: Thank you.

A: We're at a good place.

S: Feels like we're gradually getting there.

NO: We are approaching it.
