I Will Be Waiting.
I knew this would happen in the future but I didn't expect it to be this soon. I'm not ready, I'm still in shock, and my heart is broken. But I can't be selfish and deny you guys this. You are humans too, and you've given more than half of your lives to us, your fans. I think it's enough. It's time for all of you to have a well deserved break. (I'm still hoping that this will not become a permanent break though.)
The road to acceptance is long, slow, and arduous, but I will get there eventually. I have been following you guys for 6 years now and I don't regret anything. You made me happy and you were my much needed happy pill when I was at my lowest. I am very thankful to the five of you. You guys saved me, you inspired me, you gave my life direction. Thank you, just thank you.
I guess this is also life's way of telling me that it's time to direct my attention to things I have put aside until now. It's time to work on my other dreams now that I have accomplished my dream of seeing you live in concert, even if it's just once.
Ohno Satoshi, Sakurai Sho, Aiba Masaki, Ninomiya Kazunari, and Matsumoto Jun, thank you. It might be hard to listen to your songs now, but they were what drew me to you guys in the first place, so I'll keep listening to them. I'll keep listening to them until the day I can finally say, "Arashi, okaeri." 💙❤️💚💛💜
