Japan Trip: Arashi's 25th Anniversary, Nino's book, recreating Arafes pamphlet shoot
Since they've been on hiatus for 4 years, I haven't been able to spot Arashi everywhere like on my last visit , but there were still a few bits and pieces.
I couldn't spot any KAT-TUN this time, but when I went for the first time in 2013 Kame's Panasonic Lamdash ads were on the train.
I was able to catch Sakurai and Ariyoshi's Yakai on my last night, and Nino's LUUP CM too. Aiba's face was around Shibuya for his Koikeya CM. I was sad not to see any trace of Jun though.
However, I was in luck as it happened to be Arashi's 25th Anniversary Blu-ray release, and I spotted their displays on some random record shop visits.

On my last day, I found on Twitter that it was Nino's book release date, and that he had a full page ad on the newspaper. I quickly requested a copy of the day's paper from the hotel, and went to the bookstore to grab my copy of his book. I spotted his billboard for it too!
Successfully got my hands on @nino_shueisha 💛
