Once more, Arashi makes my heart go SWOOSH!
Once again they came out of nowhere and made me so, so happy, because I miss them so much every day.
There is now an Arashi company with 5 wonderful founding members and I'm so happy right now.
『Arashi posted a document titled "Announcement from Arashi" under the joint names of Masaki Aiba, Jun Matsumoto, Kazunari Ninomiya, Satoshi Ohno and Sho Sakurai. It reported: 'We, Arashi, would like to inform you that we, the five of us, have established our own company.'
It then added: "We debuted in 1999 and this 2024 will be our 25th anniversary year. All of our members are now in their 40s. We want to take more initiative than ever before, make more independent decisions than ever before and act more independently than ever before. Above all, we want to feel closer to our fans, who support us every day. We want to be more proactive. It was with these thoughts in mind that the five of us discussed it over and over again and established the company.
On the other hand, there are limits to what the five of us can do on our own. We hope that we can continue to make preparations for the future with the help of the staff who have walked with us up to now."』
