Spoilers ahead.
This whole concept is so wonderful. Us, creating the concert together.
Arashi is 5, and us fans, and the crew who have been supporting them all this while.
Our kings.
Last time. For now.
Thank you Arashi.
Thank you for daring to dream.
Thank you for being with me in every changing season in time, in every changing season in my life.
Thank you for teaching me to withstand the storms in life.
Thank you for bringing us laughter, though sometimes at your expense.
Thank you for taking us along on your flight to the top.
Thank you for walking alongside us on a two-year march towards the finishing line.
Thank you for showing us your other side, for letting us know you better.
Thank you for the close friendship you've built, that inspires when we feel lonely in our lives.
Thank you for coming to us.
Thank you for this wonderful journey, this crazy, wild ride.
This is how I want to remember Arashi by. Not on the flashy stage under the spotlight.
Just as regular guys who have been and are still working hard for their dreams. Regular guys who shed tears fighting against difficulties. Helping each other, celebrating each other.
Smiling.
Always smiling ne.
最後まで笑顔で
笑顔でいよう。
