How have you been doing?

It feels like it's getting a little warmer recently..
And the pollen is terrible

This is the most bothersome period for me..
Let's hold up against it, those with hay fever.

There are various things to watch today ne.

Have you watched them?

Of course, I've watched them too.
The digest clips for Arafes and This Is 嵐.

It's been a while since we saw Arashi. (Laugh)

For me, I did the checks, but I still felt nostalgic.
But I remember it like it happened just yesterday.
The order of the Arafes setlist, the things we did; I didn't forget them.

Although it's a digest, I think it conveys the feeling of fun so please try to watch it.

There is also the Netflix release today.

I watched it again as well.

Yeah, it's nostalgic.

Once again, I feel thankful to the director and staff for following us around for such a long period of time.
There were times where I showed annoyance on my face right? (LaughLaugh)
But I think it's really meaningful that we get to record the behind-the-scene part of this milestone, rather than just the front of it.

I also saw the tweets from fans.

A good song will needs a good timing (Laugh)

I know that! (Laugh)

No, but
These guys from Arashi suddenly released it all together in 1 day (Laughs)

Well, please watch them slowly when you have time.
Don't miss it

This is probably obsolete since the official subs are out (awesome!!) but a friend wanted them and it's not the tear-inducing bits so here it goes~ 

And this is the part where they spoke about fanvid submissions.  The 5x20 one they mentioned is here (I'd like to think :D)

The unofficial 6th member of Arashi <3

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

And also, Arashi.
Because I had Arashi, because I had friends
I was able to run on a pathless path.  

Although it's farewell to 5-person Arashi for a while
Each of the 1-person Arashi from henceforth are still my friends.

You have really worked hard for a long time.  
Thank you for including me in your important final concert tour.
I know how the audiences were laughing.
Why? Because I listened to it live at Tokyo Dome! The sound of laughter! Your laughters! 

If you think about it, I participated in the FIRST CONCERT, and also performed in the final tour in the form of a footage.
Back then, I couldn't have imagined that such a future awaited

If I were to write more, I'll end up writing a book, and I'll start crying, so I shall stop here.  

Thank you Arashi.
Let's continue to get along well from henceforth.

Summary: 

>> FC tix holders can access a MEETS CHANCE page via the concert special site on the concert day, from 8am-5pm JST, to enter for this challenge.
>>During the concert, if the MEETS CHANCE button appears on your screen, press the button and you may get connected to the venue.
>>When you get connected, you will be projected onto monitor screens placed at the venue.
>>You can directly wave/appeal to Arashi, and they can also wave back to you. (There is no mention of audio, but I doubt audio is involved).
>>I think VPN is likely to be necessary.

My thoughts and the 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!

N: For the 38 years? 

A: Yes! 

N: I see.

All: this is Arashi 

S: We have some information for FC members. Ninomiya-san, would you please. 

N: Regarding the live streaming we announced previously - " This is 嵐 LIVE 2020.12.31". Ticket sales starts on 30/11 and a special website will be opened.

S: This will be the first time for both us Arashi and fans, to have a live broadcast concert. I guess you'll be interested to know " what kind of preparations are needed" for 31/12, New Year's Eve.

My thoughts!

1) Even just thinking of the choral singing for The Music Never Ends...makes my nose sour. Arashi is really preparing a cryfest for us on 31 Dec. I can imagine the concert hall echoing with the "oh oh oh oh oh"....

2) Sho and Ohno ganging up to tease Aiba is so cute!

3) When Nino was doing a solo singing of Kotoba Yori and the other 4 were just doing the "Hey! Hey!" calls, it was like an AU of Arashi members attending another member's solo concert! Maybe? Who knows right?

4) And my Juntoshi moent imagined:

O: これLOVEか
M: LOVEだねLOVE

Also on Twitter here: https://twitter.com/arashickarened/status/1335465663381471235?s=20

BELIEVE IN 嵐's LOVE 

1) Them watching the concert like we all do 

2) Aiba & Jun doing concert calls 

3) Sho mimicking fans at concert 

4) The fact that they did a dry run for us to understand how it works 

5) The fact that there are 8 more preps = many more surprises! I'm so excited!

They are the KINGS OF CONCERTS.
