I don’t want to speculate why OSA were at NHK building (there could be tens of reasons), but the fact that the ‘successor’ special navigator has not been appointed even until now (and we know that advance planning is a thing in Japan, especially for something as huge as the Olympics), gives me hope that MAYBE it’s because they are still trying to see if Arashi can continue this role.

Also, no offence to other Japanese artistes (and only Japanese artistes because it defies logic if a non-Japanese artiste is appointed the special navigator for the Tokyo Olympics), but it’ll be rather stressful to take over as ‘successor’ of this role. 

My only concern is that….I feel like it’s tons of expectations heaped onto our Riida and I don’t want him to feel forced to appear under the spotlight again. 

What are your thoughts?

*disclaimer*
Friday is a tabloid so I would take this with a huge pinch of salt. Let's not get our hopes up high solely based on this rumour, and let's not go to their official accounts requesting that they continue the special navigator role.
