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..

[TRANS] TV spots on Arashi news coverage counting down to hiatus 26/12/2020

I cried when Nino said, "It's entertainment (showbiz) to surpass each other."  

And more when he continued, "We're lucky to be even considered as the benchmark."  

And then laughed when he said, "But there won't be any though."  

As the newscaster said, that is so Nino.

But he is right. There won't ever be anyone who can surpass Arashi. And I don't mean sales etc.   

It's the whole experience of learning with them, learning from them, and learning through them.  

I love them so much.  

Thank you Arashi for the beautiful memories.

Enough of my rambling. Translation under the cut.

My personal favourites: 

- Ohno teasing "Kazuya" (I remember it was Nino's complaints in the early years when they were still rookies)
- My-pace Ohno!
- Arashi teasing us about difficult choices when deciding the frame to use...tsk!
- JUNTOSHI moment continuing frm the last episode where Ohno voluntarily helped Jun with the board, and now Jun helped Ohno with the santa hat!
- Best teamwork with Ohno starting the ep but Jun taking over the heavier explanations.
- Jun having fun creating an Aiba icon! 

And also, the fact that they know what goes through our minds when we watch cons...like in this vid, knowing that we feel excited when we are on the way to the con venue, and see people carrying Arashi con goods. 

This isn't the first time they have made comments that reflected how they know our feelings and thoughts so well..

They really put themselves into our shoes to think from our perspectives.

Only Arashi can make me cry at one moment, and laugh the next. This ep reminded me of their team dynamics & individual personalities that make me love Arashi so dearly.

P.S. The frame is free to use for all; does it mean non-FC ticket holders can use it?

Ok, enough of me rambling again...translation behind the cut!
