To be honest, I was crying a bit while reading this. Especially when I read the message of Ohno to Sakurai and Sakurai to Ohno. That kind of feeling where Ohno feels like he's no match to Sakurai but then Sakurai on the other hand always looks at Ohno's back and it hasn't changed ever since. I think, that in itself is a wonderful thing to have. Of course, with the other members too. It's really nice to know how each members' presence provide to other members.
It's a bit sad that they will be on hiatus by 2021. But I hope that with taking a break from doing Arashi activities, they will be able to encounter a lot of things that will make them feel like themselves and not as Arashi member.
Thank you so much for translating this!!! I'll definitely read the other parts of the pamphlet!! 😊👍❤️❤️
Thanks for reading! I agree, there were a lot of parts that were really sweet to read. I was part way through this translation when the hiatus announcement happened, and a lot of things in the pamphlet after that became much more meaningful The hiatus is sad for us fans, but I also want them to be happy, whatever that means to them. And if they come back or not, I will still always be their fan, both as a group and as individuals, and that at least will never change!
Aha! I saw that you had commented and was also going to say "long time no see!" Somehow it makes me glad for someone to remember me, though I never contributed all that much... :D I've still been lurking around this whole time, but didn't have things to translate other than the "big" stuff, hahaha. It is nice to post again though ^_^ Thanks for reading!! (Also PS I totally LOLed at your icon)
My bad so thanks for reminding...LONG TIME NO SEE! All this quietness after their hiatus announcement. My gut says they'll release something huge again...
It's still great to see some old timers once in awhile, as so many fans have migrated to social media etc.
Knowing that they will go on a hiatus puts their words in a different light. There is a deeper meaning when they emphasize their 20 or so years together and how much they have gone through to be where they are.
I also sensed a different kind of friendship among the members which is different from what we usually see and know. Somehow, they showed a different pairing behind the scenes which is different from the most common or prevalent during their shows and PV makings and concert DVDs.
There seems like a deeper Sakumoto than we see in front of the camera compared to the more famous Sakuraiba. It was also a suprise to see a deeper Masatoshi than Ohmiya.
Thanks for sharing this. It's always fun to discover more about our five favorite men.
