I’m not a fan of Josei Jishin’s articles, but this article gave some insights on how busy they were in the last week of the year, as well as how they are appreciated by different TV stations and people working in the industry.

Matsumoto Jun's effort in Arashi's "Last one week"...Rare participation in Kouhaku discussions by the artiste himself


It was just past noon on 25 December; a week left before Arashi's hiatus. We found Matsumoto Jun in Tokyo. What caught our eye was the fact that he was wearing short-sleeved T-shirt in the cold weather.


He left the building which houses a gym he frequented. Holding a down jacket in his hands, he got onto a car driven by an agency personnel.


All members of Arashi gathered for meetings and rehearsals starting from the noon of the 25th. They were to perform at the Music Station SP that night. It was about 11pm by the time everything ended (industry personnel).


By the way, on the day before, the 24th, the live broadcast of final episode of Fuji TV's program, VS Arashi, ended. It was probably difficult to go to the gym in the midst of this packed schedule, but perhaps the desire to show his professionalism to his fans roll the very last moment spurred him to do the physical training.


A TV station personnel said that he was simply impressed by the sight of Arashi's "Last one week".

Actually, I have always thought about this. The invisible Arashi member. Staff-san, manager-san. 


Without them, the executing parties, Jun’s mind-blowing concert ideas will just remain as ideas. We could enjoy the This Is 嵐 LIVE conceert because they had worked crazy OT hours executing the ideas.


All these years, it was with the support of these behind-the-scenes people that Arashi made it this far. 


As fans, we feel sad letting them go. How much it must hurt for the staff-san who have been working with them since they were newbies? It’s so heartwarming to read about Arashi thanking and acknowledging their contributions. 


As fans we don’t thank them enough.
