ARASHI OMFG!!!
So, I was dead for hours after Arashi's live youtube stream, just barely alive now because I have to wake from the dead to stan them again. OMGGGGGGG, guys, did you manage to watch it??? Also, all those announcement, Jesus, how to live after that??? So many things to process and after the translations were available (thank you, translators in twitter) I swear most of us were sobbing out of sheer happiness.
Jun-san confirmed that all of those SNS accounts bearing their name - ARE LEGIT, OMG - Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Weibo, and Tiktok (WOW!) stating they want to be closer to us. I want to think it's for us international fans' sake as well, because, wow, this was a huge step for them. After almost two decades of straying away from these platforms, they're going all out all of a sudden. And as Jun stated, (from the translation I read from Twitter as well), they did this so we won't be sad when they go on hiatus :((((
Added to that, their singles will be available on digital platforms as well, and a premier MV of their new song Turning Up will be broadcasted today, 9pm JST.
Of course, that's not all.
Sho-san mentioned (he said this in ENGLISH, OMFG) that they will be visiting 4 Asian cities, Jakarta (Indonesia), Singapore, Bangkok, Taipei next week (November 9 to 11), their 20th anniversary press conference JET STORM (part 2!).
Then Nino announced the live viewing of their final 5x20 Concert on December 25 on TOHO cinemas, which was also confirmed later on by an email from the FC, which would only be available for FC Members)
Ohchan next announced Arashi's confirmed concert on Kokuritsu on May 15-16, before the 2020 Olympics. :DDDD They also confirmed a concert in Beijing next spring, details to be confirmed later.
Seriously, I was sad they won't be coming to Manila but I guess beggars can't be choosers. They're already doing so much for us and I honestly appreciate all of this. Still so much to come, I can feel it! Thank you, Arashi! Thank you for everything!
