[Translation] Johnny's Web - Arashi's individual message for Kite single (2020.07.29)
Arashi's new single, Kite, was released today and each of them wrote a message on Johnny's Web talking about the single. I've translated their messages.
They also did a group talk about the B-side songs which I'm translating now. I'll share the group talk too once I'm done. Meanwhile, enjoy their individual messages first!
Please do not re-translate into other languages, share on social media websites or claim my work as yours.

Hello. :)
Kite is a really nice song!! With lyrics that paints a vivid picture that remains in your memory, it’s a song that warmly embraces everyone!! The lyrics for the chorus are the all the same so it’s easy to remember. The lyrics for the D melody part and the melody are great too and gives you the energy to continue trying your best. :D
The song makes you feel good when you listen to it but if you sing it, it’ll make you feel even better so please do sing the song. :)
It goes on sale on 29th July. :D
Hope you’ll support us!!
Please take care of your health. :)

Kite is finally being released!
It’s been a while since we’ve released a song on CD.
It makes me happy if this has brought you joy!
I’m really like the MV, I also like the photos we took on the streets of Tokyo and the painting by Leader for the CD jacket is just awesome!
The B-side songs are wonderful too so I hope you can check them out!

Well, Arashi’s new single, Kite, has started selling on the 29th. :D
We have not released a new song on CD ever since Brave!! Sorry to keep you waiting (LOL).
At last year’s Kohaku, we sang this song too.
It’s such a gentle song so I think it would make you want to sing it too. :D If you sing it, I think you will feel the gentleness even more.
As for the B-side songs, together we’ve talked about them so please enjoy that too. :D

Hi, it’s Ohno!
Our single has started selling~
It’s called Kite. :)
Yonezu Kenshi-san has composed and written the lyrics for this song. It’s a song full of his individuality and is unlike any of Arashi’s songs thus far. :)
When we recorded this song, I got to sing together with Yonezu-san in the recording booth first! It was an invaluable experience!
Well everyone, please listen to it!

Hi.
It’s me. Sakurai.
It’s been a while since we have a new song on CD!! We’ve dropped Kite.
We sang the song at last year’s Kohaku Uta Gassen and it was played on Minna no Uta* too so quite a few of you might already be familiar with this song.
The music video was filmed in an interesting way too so you might wonder how we filmed it. (Watch the making video!)
...Arashi. We will fly. We will flap our wings.
The “Journey to Harmony” song we performed at the enthronement celebration (a majestic and wonderful song!) and of course the other B-side songs are all amazing so please listen to them!
Personally, my favourite is “Bokura no Hibi”.
Check it out!!
