Arashi Fans Map Project - Letter
the letter's originally written by sweet_nami and was editted by me and aishitsuzukeru
I'm really sorry that I have to edit some part of the letter to make it sounds like it is from everyone ^^; and at the end, it turns out like this
Dear ARASHI,
Congratulations on your 10 years anniversary! We hope to give you a small glance into the magnitude of your greatness sending our sincerest love for you through this project.
One of your fans, who lives abroad, collected information from various ARASHI international communities online for one month in order to make this map. She then sent it to one of your fans, who lives in Japan, to deliver it to Keikarou.
This map contains about 3,000 of your fans, but there are more than 15,000 of us around the world. Most of the fans included in this project have been following you for many years now and have never had the chance to visit Japan or one of your live appearances because they were only held in certain parts of Asia. But thanks to the Internet, we are all able to keep up with your activities and support you from our distant countries.
You symbolize inspiration and comfort; many of us feel like you are our friends. Although we don’t know you personally, we feel connected to you. You are like no other idol. You are always humble and appreciative, which is something that attracts so many to you. Through all of your efforts to create a storm world wide, you have touched many lives across the oceans.
Your dynamic personalities, talent, and music are undeniably a perfect balance to make the perfect harmony. We love you very much. We hope that someday we will be able to see you performing in our backyards, and that you will be able to show the rest of the world just how great you are. We are always here to support you. Thank you for everything up until now, and good luck in the years to come!
Sincerely,
Your International Fans

嵐の皆様へ、
1０周年おめでとうございます。
嵐の皆さんにいかに嵐の人気が世界規模なのかを見て頂きたいと思い、このプロジェクトを立ち上げました。色んな国からファンが愛を込めて、このマップを送ります。
これは中国人のARASHIAN(嵐のファン)が一ヶ月前始め、様々な国々で活動しているARASHIANの人達を紹介したいと思います。このマップはそれらの活動を元にを作りました。そして、現在日本在住のハワイ出身のARASHIANに送り、彼女に桂花楼に届けてもらいました。
このマップに表記されている海外のARASHIANは3,000人ですが、実際は15,000人以上にいるそうです。このマップに参加しているARASHIANはずっと、嵐の皆様を応援していますが、残念ながらライブに足を運ぶことはできません。それは嵐がこれまで海外で行った公演がアジアに限定されたものだからでした。 でも、インターネットのおかげで、嵐の活動状況を知ったり、アルバムを入手することができるようになりました。
「嵐」と聞くと、「躍動感」や「安心感」が脳裏に浮かびます。嵐は私達にとっては大切な友達のような存在です。もちろん個人的に知り合いではありませんが、不思議とどこかで繋がっているような気がします。私達にとって、嵐は世界で一番素敵なアイドルです。嵐はこの10年間を様々な活動をされ、いつもファンに感謝の気持ちを伝えてくれています。嵐は、本当に世界中に嵐を巻き起こしています。私達は楽しい時も苦しい時も、嵐の音楽や活動を心の支えにしています。
嵐のメンバーそれぞれの性格、能力は理想的なバランスであり、素晴らしい調和を奏でています。嵐ファンにとっては最高のグループであることは言うまでもありません。どこにいても、何があっても、いつまでも、私達は嵐のことを愛してます。 いつかヨーロッパやアメリカやオーストラリアなどで嵐のライブができるように、そして国民的なアイドルじゃなくて、世界的なアイドルになれるように望んでいます。そのときまで、様々な国から応援しています。
この１０年間、ありがとうございました。そして、これからのご活躍を心から祈っております。
愛を込めて、
外国のARASHIANより

"She was shocked to hear how many fans participated and was very greatful for it. She said she would tell Aiba-kun (she said, "伝え説きます。”. Which means "I'll explain it.") She shook our hands bowed and said thank you"
