Once an Arashian, Forever an Arashian! 💙❤️💚💛💜
In light of the surprising announcement by Arashi today, I understand that many will still be shocked.
Frankly, I still am too! Too shocked to the point I lost all my hunger.. But honestly, I get them, especially Ohno. Even me, someone who just started working for 1 year, got burned out and wanted a break. What more Ohno who is in this industry for 20+ years and actually wanted out since day 1 of Arashi. If anything, I'm really grateful that he stuck through all these years. (I mean.. look at the picture!! if anything, we know there's even a hiatus and not a disbandment because of their bond. i mean.. they could have taken the easy route of disbandment if their bonds weren't strong. but they didn't. for that i'll always say thanks for even giving us that hope that one day they'll return as Arashi.)
As the Arashi members have said, this is just a hiatus. No one knows how long this hiatus period will last. It may be 1 day, 1 month, 1 year, 10 years, or even forever, but let's just pray for their happiness. They deserve it after sacrificing everything for us and giving us happiness since 1999. The only thing we can do is wait patiently and pray that one day all 5 members want to come back as Arashi once they're done exploring. And when that day comes, let's make sure there's a place for Arashi to come back to.
As such, I only have 1 thing to say to Arashi.. Thank you for being with us for 20 years.. Even though you're taking a break for who knows how long, and it may even be forever, thank you for giving us 2 years to celebrate with you & an opportunity to be your fan forever! We'll be waiting for you until forever!
So for the next 2 years, until it's Dec 31st 2020, let's support Arashi with all our might & build a strong home for them to return to in the future!!
