Arashi is so well loved by even their senpais. Nakai-san is really sweet..

--------------------

Rough translation of the part where he mentioned Arashi on his radio show

Arashi announced last year, that they will take a break on (after) the 31st. Well...it's ok if they return within this week, right?

I mean, 1st, 2nd, 3rd Jan, they can rest for three days, and resume from the 4th. 

I think it's ok that they change (the plan). But of course, I don't know what they themselves think.

Many things happened in 2020. For the past 1.5 - 2 years, they aimed for the "I will take a break for once" goal, but then maybe it's (become) like "Eh? I don't really need a break?" "But we've announced it, how can we not do it now?" "So let's go on hiatus on 31 Dec and take a break for 3 days before we resume."

I think that is perfectly fine.

Or even one month later.

Or within 2021.

Or 5 years later.

No one knows.

It's all ok.

With a change in environment, a change in thoughts, one's will may change too.

It's often said that it's uncool to lose, or that it's lame to change your feelings.

But there are some reasons for the change for sure.

They pile up and make you think "This is not it". They pile up again and make you think "That is better". Again, they pile up and you go "This also is not it". 

Through that, a conclusion forms and the environment changes.

I think it's perfectly ok for that to happen.

It's irresponsible for me to say this, but (it's ok) even if (they came back after) a month or a week. Of course, only they themselves will know.
