The different levels of pain:
Jan. 27, 2019 - announcement of hiatus
Dec. 31, 2020 - farewell concert before start of indefinite hiatus
May 31, 2026 - last performance in final tour
June 15, 2026 - end of ARASHI FC
My thoughts after watching We Are Arashi live:
1. ARASHI is the most innovative artist in today’s music industry. The moving stage and radio controlled penlights which allow the fans to be involved in a light show that is spectacular to both watch and be a part of

I think it’s so funny and fitting that ARASHI attracted so many “storms” on their many concerts and tours but then again i realize if you perform for 26 years you can definitely run into many storms 😆
After 26 years, #arashi takes their final bow. Satoshi Ohno, Sho Sakurai, Masaki Aiba, Kazunari Ninomiya, and Jun Matsumoto, thank you for changing #jpop forever.
FULL TRIBUTE https://t.co/hQN6kV33AO
So funny how my korean friend who only knows Arashi by name remembers the leader of Arashi by two things (1) as the guy being “eaten” by the pelican and (2) whose skin gets darker and darker 😂
Arashi's official YouTube channel updated their playlist section today with playlists of their past concerts.
I can never thank you enough, Arashi.

This history of Arashi’s Performance is so cool, i want to see it too. Also, Arashi total number performance at Tokyo Dome is 91 👏🏼👏🏼

The end of an era.
ARASHI was not only the biggest STARTO (J&A) act, but it also cemented its status as a national idol group over the years.
The ubiquitous group, present for almost three decades, will forever be cemented in the annals of the JP ent industry. What a legacy.
Thank you for keeping me sane, making me believe and be grateful for these past 20 years, @arashi5official. Even after this day, you will still be constant in my life—until the very end of it.

D15: In a world full of idols who try to be perfect, ARASHI members are not afraid to look silly. And this is one of their charms that has endeared them to people.
I woke up laughing to this clip and you should, too.
D20: ARASHI’s commercials were something else. They were like mini movies telling a story of 5 guys having the time of their lives together.
These are just two samples.
i didnt know arashi almost paused the whole japanese film industry because they got every single the top-tier cameraman in the country involved in the 5x20 concert filming hello 😭
The production of We are Arashi is insane. It reminded me why, exactly, Arashi are theeee national idol group 😭 Someone pleaseeeee hire Matsujun as their concert producer full time/hire him to run training camps because the man is too fucking talented
