Thank you, Arashi! <3
I wanted to write about Arashi earlier, but 2 weeks passed and now here I am .
After an exhausting Saturday, I went back home on Sunday. Just wanted to take my time and rest. I opened LJ to check for anything fun and exciting.... then I saw this article about Arashi stopping all activities! Oh GOD, it was the last thing I wanted to hear about. I was shocked, sad, angry and gutted. At that time JFC video's been subbed, while downloading the file I thought "BAKA ARASH! I won't shed a single tear!!!"..... but I couldn't hold back my tears while watching the video... they were very sincere and serious. I wanted to deny what I'd watched already, but there was a press conference as well... so it was real. I even checked Wikipedia to make sure!
It took me some time to digest what's going on. So many things concerned me... such as what will happen after hiatus? What if they disband during the hiatus and never come back again? What if I don't enjoy them after they make a comeback? This kind of thoughts invaded me so cruelly.
The announcement was so sudden and shocking. Well, I didn't expect them to be active forever, but in my most forbidden imagination, I anticipated the time is after 25th anniversary (as for SMAP and Namie Amuro...). But yeah... it came years earlier. I want to think it's not a big deal, it's supposed to be something temporary and they will come back after a good rest... it's named 'hiatus' after all..... but it scares me, we don't know when it ends or will it end at all?!I was struggling with all these feelings.
That night I played 'Song for you'. I was overwhelmed by all the emotions that's been conveyed.... only listening to Ohno singing the intro was enough for me to burst out cryig....... and the last part (from the 8th minute onwards)... oh the last part, it conveys a lucid, crystal clear feeling about their emotions and opinions in the pre-hiatus era and gives hope for a comeback! Now I love this song even more.
The latest performance is gold. Again I got emotional when they performed 'Kimi no Uta' ... I felt they did mean all the words they were singing, not just plainly performing the song. It was reassuring. And then 'Kansha Kangeki Ame Arashi' I laughed from the depths of my heart...... it was so like Arashi.
Arashi is awesome. I can't be mad at them. They're kind enough to tell us beforehand, I'm so grateful. This announcement reminds me how dear Arashi is to me. I really do love them all.
Now, I feel I'm at ease. I accept the fact, and am ready to join them for this journey of two years, catching everything they want to show us to the very last moment of 2020 -I hope Arashi (Ohno in particular) hosts Kohaku 2020-21... and I can imagine all the tears and smiles we'll share- And needless to say, I will wait patiently till we meet them again as 5 member-Arashi.
I want to thank Arashi for everything. I may seem selfish but I want them to be there as Arashi we know forever. Please make a storm once again. Please rise and shine again. Please be blissful.
