Good morning
I'm Ohno Satoshi of Arashi.
Today's quote, come on!
"Consideration, solicitude and moderate distance."
Nice, ne. Nice words.
tHese are the words of Ara Ryokan, the monk who works on the propagation of Buddhism In Hawaii and mainland U.S.
We've been informed by the listener, Akari-san:
"This is written in my calendar and I thought that these are some nice words. This year Arashi-san approached their 14 year and I honestly think that it's amazing that you stayed the same kind of people for 14 years. Exactly that's why a good distance must have been important. Why is it that Arashi were able to become such a close group?"
Hoo~
14 years-old, Akari-san
Ah, amazing
When Akari-san has been born Arashi have debuted
I mean, it's amazing, ne , 14 years, if I were to think like that
Uwaa~, Have I been doing it for 14 years? (laughs)
It feels like just the other day we have finished our 10th anniversary
But I think that Arashi have a good sense of distance
Well, somehow, of course we are close of course
But also we don't get strangely too close too each other
Our private life is completely private
But we've been asked frequently
"Don't you often eat together in private?"
We have this image
But ne, certainly, for Arashi
There is no such thing as meeting frequently in private
That's why we're saying
That whenever we get mails from the members our hearts beat faster
Wondering "Eh, has something happened?"
Or "What kind of information would it be?"
That's why when I get a phone call from one of the members I think
"Eh, why?"
While in our private time.
One thing is that I'll end up surprised
It happens to all of us, Yeah
Something interesting
There isn't quite any
Like this, being all this time together
Normally it isn't possible, right, this kind of....
That's why we've been blessed, ne. Yeah
It's the 14th year?
Then what, next year it will be our 15th anniversary?
For real?
Well, but ne, for now
Until our 15th year I want us to be healthy, for the time being (laughs)
But after that too, I'll do my best as Arashi!
Yesterday and the day before yesterday
Thank you very much to the fans who came to AraFes
Let's do it again, ne!
That's all, it has been Ohno Satoshi!
