*rolls up sleeves*

Wouldn't be the first time I've watched a STARTO MV a gajillion times... I'm ready! 😄 So excited for them!! Finally!!!🎉

[Transitions⛈️🌈 We 40! @transitions0101]

OMG 4U is finally getting to debut in on 11 November 2026!!

"I asked Grok" "I asked ChatGPT" Okay well I asked Matsumoto Jun and he said ✨️🫡💜👀😎✨️

[Rachel @railise79]

I don't want to turn off the stream end screen...

[Rachel @railise79]

I love every member of Arashi with all my heart, but Ohno is the reason I'm here. Many people were Jun-baited, but I was Leader-baited😊

Ohno Satoshi, thank you for everything, and I wish you all the best in your life💙💙💙

#ありがとう嵐

[Rachel @railise79]

嵐 means more to myself and my family than I can express. I largely raised my kids with them. They've accompanied us in the car to school and on trips. They've been with us at home. They opened a new part of the world to us. My heart is sad but full.❤️💛💚💙💜
#ありがとう嵐

[Rachel @railise79]

@AibaNoAmore @astrangerenters Ok I thought I was there but I was wrong 😭😭😭

[二宮和也 @nino_honmono]

よし！じゃあ行ってきます！！

[Rachel @railise79]

@AibaNoAmore @astrangerenters I'm also glad we get this farewell

Not all fans have been so lucky with other groups, so we're very fortunate

Anyway, I'm still heartbroken but healing💔❤️

[Rachel @railise79]

@AibaNoAmore @astrangerenters I've been reflecting on impermanence and change a lot lately (big life stuff going on this year outside of fandom), and working on focusing on being glad things happened rather than sad they're over

It's a process

This hurts so much but I'm glad Arashi happened 😭❤️💛💚💙💜

[Rachel @railise79]

@AibaNoAmore @astrangerenters Honestly I've struggled to watch or listen to a lot of Arashi content during the hiatus, but recently reached Acceptance and have been putting on lives and old variety eps, it's been great 🥰

But this concert is beyond me

[Rachel @railise79]

@astrangerenters Yeah I've decided the same, but I'm already watching in bed so that's convenient🤣

[Rachel @railise79]

So I caught the virus that's been going through our house. Coughing and sore throat

Crying is not a good idea

I managed to make it through the medley but I am definitely screwed with the concert itself😭

(worth it ❤️💛💚💙💜)

[Rachel @railise79]

@_junpon "And his phone" has been sending me for more than a day now 🤣 it's been randomly popping into my head and making me laugh all over again🤣🤣

[Rachel @railise79]

@transitions0101 That makes total sense, and I'll look into the whistleblowing link -- thanks!

[Rachel @railise79]

@transitions0101 I'm out of the loop so this may already have been discussed, but hopefully they went/go after STARTO impersonators on Instagram, too-- I had a bunch trying to friend me a while back, and I took great delight in reporting them but also know IG doesn't always do much

[Rachel @railise79]

If coffee companies could please stop discontinuing their mint chocolate flavor the minute I get hooked on it, I'd be so appreciative😭 I'm 0 for 2 right now...
