I remember how we got to participate at Arafes. We felt anxious as we didn’t really have that much of experience as back dancers. But we received a lot of advice and learned from them. All I could say is “That was remarkable!” Bishounen too have to do our absolute best! I’m once again reminded of the sensation of that place. We will do our best more than we ever did!!

For me, it was such a great experience to get the chance to back-dance at Arafes. I’m pleased to appear at my favorite seniors’ concert. The view from the stage of The National Stadium, it became my wish that someday we can be the main performers there!

I’m grateful for the opportunity to participate at Arafes the other day! When I looked at the setlist, I knew most of the song. It once again reminds me how amazing they are. When I was a kid, like when I was in the car, I also often listened to Arashi’s songs. It’s such an important treasure to be able to dance on the same stage and talk to them. We also aim to be a national group like Arashi!!

About Arafes, I got to talk with Sakurai-kun, “Since it's such a great opportunity, we want Jrs to see the view from The National Stadium too. And then, we want them to see that dream.” Those words moved my heart. After the concert, I strongly thought, “We also want to be an existence that can fill this place.” We will make use of what we learned this time and do our best. I want you to watch over us.

They’re ones of the few seniors I know even before I joined Johnny’s. They’re always running in the front line and that’s amazing. This time, they opened up a new door that we’ve never seen before. For juniors, they’re a dazzling presence. We’ll do our best to reach for the paths you’ve taken and hope someday, we can show you what we’ve become.

10 years ago, I got to watch their concert at the very end of the audience seat at The National Stadium. This time, I got the chance to back-dance for them. I’m so grateful. Arashi’s charm is their closeness. It’s impressive to see them taking selfies or Sakurai-kun and Matsumoto-kun taking photos of Leader. That got me thinking that we have to do our best too!
