Ok.
So.
Sakurai Sho may or may not come during the Olympics. At this moment, there may or may not be more Johnnys or other famous people from Japan who may come to the Olympics. I would like to take this opportunity to speak as a part of the VANOC 2010 team.
VANOC 2010 is here to present a very important image of Vancouver to the world. Everyone has our eyes on us. As part of the VANOC 2010 team, I would like to ask fellow fangirls to refrain from stalking any athletes, media, and any other VIPs. The Vancouver International Airport is an important point of entry for all of those who are attending the 2010 winter Olympics. If you are planning to be at the airport to wait for the arrival of Sakurai Sho, please bear in mind that the Vancouver Airport is the first place that these people will be as their first step into Canada. We want to give out a good first impression to all of our guests. We are all Canadians, and also international fans of Arashi/JE. With this in mind, I ask all of you to stand at the side so that it will not affect Airport Operations as well as VANOC 2010 operations. This applies to all other venues.
I am not saying that you cannot be there and cheer for him when he arrives. I am saying that if you want to cheer for him, please make sure you do remember that you are Canadian, and that the entire world is watching us. There will be athletes, media, family members of athletes, sponsors, and so many more who will be arriving at the Airport, it is a guaranteed that we will have confusion and much traffic. Please do behave yourself for your own safety and all other people's safety. Listen to those who are wearing the VANOC 2010 Olympic Uniforms or the Vancouver Airport Operations for directions. If they ask you to move to another area, please do so. We are not here to block you from meeting these people, but for us our priority is to transfer these important people to their designation after their long flight so that they can rest.
Also, from what I have read, some people here do know people who either work for the Olympics at certain venues as volunteers. Again, please treat those venues the same way I have mentioned above for the Vancouver Airport. This is the time to show our JE boys that Canada is pretty cool. And we're a bunch of awesome international fans :)
Please also remember that Johnny's have strict rules on what their boys can do and not do. If you are familiar with it, please follow those rules. If you do not know, the basic idea is no photographs with fans and no autographs.
I thank you here as part of the VANOC 2010. Also, please do not ask me for information of when these people are arriving. I don't know. Even if I DO know, it is confidential and that I am not allow to make any comment about it to the public. I also have to follow the VANOC 2010 protocol on how to behave around these people as well.
