The center position changes in this song perfectly illustrate how ARASHI doesn’t really have a center and it constantly rotates among the members. This I think is one of the crucial elements that powered them as a ln enduring group.
I thought long and hard if im going to see the 5/31 live stream.
Then i realized...
Its the last performance.
Of them as five members.
These songs will never be sung live again with them as 5.
So, livestream ticket purchased.
Gonna watch it everyday until im able.
Im so grateful to Arashi. They got me through some of the toughest times of my life and I will love them individually and as a group. And if I ever go through tough times again, i know their music will still be there with me to help me get through it.
💜💛💙❤️💚
Same. i feel that this goodbye is where its headed all along. Ive made my peace with not seeing them in person and there was a time thay i would give or do almost everything to make it happen. But now, i keep that time alive in my heart. But that's it.
I will always regret not seeing them live but I've already accepted this fact that no matter what the results will be for this last tour, I'm gonna be fine 🥺
But one thing is for sure, ARASHI will always be special and I will always love them, that will never change 💙❤️💚💛💜
Really cant say im surprised coz this is a kind of thing i know Arashi would do for fans and for the 5 of them. Kind of bittersweet actually. But all good things must end even the hiatus. They are just doing it in their own terms with one final tour. ♥️💙💜💛💚
We have something the five of us would like to share with you all.
It has been almost four and a half years since we went on hiatus, and we sincerely regret we were unable to perform for all of you during that last year of activities due to the Coronavirus pandemic. So, in order to finally express our deep gratitude directly to all our fans, the five of us have gathered together once again and have begun planning a concert tour as ARASHI to be held next spring. With the establishment of Arashi Inc., there had been discussion around the possibility of assembling a new structure with new staff members to support our plans, but we have decided instead to bring this to life together with the many people who have helped and supported us over the past 20 years. And upon conclusion of this tour, we will end our activities as ARASHI.
For about a year and a half now, the five of us have regularly gotten together to discuss the idea of working as ARASHI again. However, it was not easy to find an answer to how to do this, as the environment surrounding us has changed, in addition to each of our individually changed circumstances compared to before. Such being the case, after much time and repeated conversations, we came to the conclusion that we should all come together as ARASHI, hold a concert that would allow us to express our thanks directly with the kind of in-person performance our Corona concert did not allow for, and then end our activities as a group. We could not imagine resuming our activities only to go on a hiatus yet again.
As for concert tickets, we will temporarily suspend new applications for fan club membership so that priority can be given to current fan club members. Also, as we are still in the preparation stage with many different people for next year's tour, we are not at present in a position to share specific details. However, as soon as such has been decided, we will inform our fans first, here and in our own words.
With the end of ARASHI’s activities, our family club will also close in May 2026, but we will continue to deliver as much content as possible throughout this next year for your fun and enjoyment, and will resume accepting new family club memberships as soon as possible so that even those who are not members already can enjoy the videos and more. Our next content distribution to the ARASHI Family Club is scheduled for the middle of next month.
Once again, we would like to thank all the fans who have continued to support us, and have come together as the five of us in order to bring you something very special. Please look forward to everything we have planned.

Last week, i saw that Black Pean Season 2 is finally available in the US so naturally, i spent half the weekend gushing about Amagi and missing Arashi.
Relive your Hana Yori Dango feelings tonight with Ootsuka Ai's performance of Planetarium.
The song sounds even more beautiful with the simple piano accompaniment and her crisp, emotive voice.

Fukka: You guys created Arashi Inc., right? In the future, what will Arashi-san...
Sakuma: Will Arashi hold a concert?
Nino: Well, I guess so?
Sakuma: Does it depend on the timing?
Nino: I guess it depends on the timing?
