On 10 November last year, it was confirmed that the five personalities of Arashi will appear in a special Drama by Fuji TV, "The Last Promise" [Saigo no Yakusoku]. This is their first time since 10 years ago [appearing in a drama] and this drama will be aired early next season.
The genre of the drama is 'human suspense' where all five of them, unknowingly witness the plundering of a building and face an unbelievable situation. This is the first time Satoshi Ohno (28), Sakurai Sho (27), Masaki Aiba (26), Kazunari Ninomiya (26) and Jun Matsumoto (26) appeared together since "V no Arashi" in 1999, right after their debut. The poster for this drama has been made with an adult atmosphere/feel that makes us feel their growth over these 10 years. Other than staring in a few dramas, movies, stage plays, and also receiving high recognition for their acting abilities, the variety shows that they host are also popular with audiences of all ages. Their DVD "All the BEST! Clips 1999-2009", that was released on 28 October have sold 500, 000 copies, a first in the DVD music industry.
"I wish to continue acting, keeping experiences and memories of these 10 years in my heart" said Satoshi Ohno. "I'm a bit shy...but I hope that one day the five of us can appear in a movie together" continued Jun Matsumoto.
