This, is 嵐

My eyes are hurting, my head is aching, I feel drained of all energy. I pulled an all-nighter last night and only took short naps in the day....I probably should go to bed.

But.

I need to let it all out, in order to start afresh tomorrow morning, in the new year. A year without Arashi. All the feelings are crushing me.

It's not like we'll not see the boys (yes, I will still use this term to refer to them even though they are already in their late 30s/already 40 years of age) anymore, perhaps with the exception of Ohno.

But the change is so huge,  I feel I need to pen down my thoughts before the page flips and another chapter opens up.

This is the long post that no one has to read. A post to mark a milestone in my story with Arashi.

The short

I was Jun baited into the fandom in 2005 and grew to love all 5 of them. In the past year, through their actions, they have shown us their professionalism, their thankful hearts, and most of all, their consideration of fans' feelings and experience of them.

The concert is evidencee of all that, and I keenly felt the love they had for fans..

I love them. I did, I do, and I will.

Vol 193

2020/12/31, Tokyo.

The weather has been good since morning so it feels good.

How have you been?

The concert day is finally here.

The first day and the last day (T/ N: of the concert). Which means it's a one-shot game.

We have done all the preparations to the extent possible.

We conveyed many things in advance and had everyone participate in them..

Thank you for helping out at a challenging (T/N: busy) time during year end!!

This is also our first time challenging this so we will only know how things turn out if we tried.

I hope we can enjoy it no much how things turn out, just like we always do.

Let's create Arashi's concert together

Although I pushed back posting for a day as I was going to write various things as a year end post..

I will stop here.

I want to convey it at the concert.

I'll just write this for now.

I hope everyone can carry with you all your various thoughts and enjoy the concert.

That's all.

At the end of 2020, together let's create the best memories that are unforgettable all our lives!!!!!

We will take off right from the first song so please look forward to it

Please make all necessary preparations for the New Year's Eve and standby as soon as possible!

See you later...
