In year 2010, we ran with all our might, rested for a while, then started running again. It was a year of a new working pace.

A photo he took while standing up suddenly. The 4 members to leaned closer and looked up are absolutely cute ♡

To Leader
I’ve been under your care even in 2010. You could extend your hands in the drama “Kaibutsu-kun”, can you still do that now (laugh)? During your private time, you’re still crazy about fishing huh. Though I’m absolutely fine with “leader who goes fishing”, but in year 2011 I’d be happy to see “leader who paints” again.
To Aiba-kun
I’ve been under your care even in 2010. When I’m with you, I feel like even I get my energy charged. Your expression when you’re trying with all your might to remember the dance steps left a very deep impression on me too (laugh). Recently, Aiba-kun has mastered the art of making cocktails. Next time, please tell me about a good wine you recommend. Let’s continue drinking together in year 2011!
To Sho-kun
I’ve been under your care even in 2010. You’ve been very active as a newscaster. I’ve learned a lot from watching “News Zero”. When there are words or information which I don’t understand, thank you for explaining them properly to me when I asked! Please continue to be the knowledgeable Sho-kun in year 2011.
To Nino
I’ve been under your care even in 2010. Within this year, I guess it’s a movie year for you. After “Oh-oku”, I’m also anticipating “Gantz”. And I look forward to your talks in variety shows! Recently I heard rumours that you’re very into some kinda electronic drumset, so I assume you’d be moving towards music production in year 2011!?
In year 2010, did we become more mature even just a little? But it didn’t feel like we changed at all (laugh).

Arashi through the eyes of Ohno Satoshi
Quietly leaning to the wall, without giving any instructions, he kept taking pictures of “Arashi just as they are”.

To Matsujun
In Summer 2010, you went all out for your drama “Natsu no koi wa niji-iro ni kagayaku” didn’t you. Under such a hot weather, you worked really hard. …ah, during that time, Matsujun, it was your birthday, but I haven’t given you a present! Please wait a little longer, I’ll definitely buy one in year 2011 and pass it to you (laugh).
To Aiba-chan
I promised Aiba-chan “let’s go to Ginza and have a drink together, just the 2 of us, while it’s still 2010”, but our schedule couldn’t meet. It’s such a waste that it couldn’t come true. But since we’ve already done our research on the shops we’d like to go, let’s go in year 2011. I look forward to spending some adult time with you!
To Sho-kun
When we were rehearsing for Kokuritsu Gekijo concert during summertime, I remember you putting on a lot of sunscreen. But, in the end you got sunburnt and your skin peeled off. Well I guess getting sunburnt during summertime is a natural thing. In year 2011, I welcome Sho-kun to join me as Arashi’s “dark-coloured group”~!
To Nino
Dear Nino who keeps touching my butt during concerts and television recordings (laugh). Somehow when you touch it my spirits are lifted and when you don’t, I couldn’t function well~ In year 2011, please continue touching my butt (laugh).
The 5 of us challenged new things. 2010 was a year we enjoyed lots of laughter together.

From the front, he said “say cheese” to the members and completed the task with a natural snap.

To Matsujun
Speaking of Matsujun in year 2010, it’s the drama “Natsu no koi wa niji-iro ni kagayaku”. When I watched the relationship of the both of them in the final episode, I was really moved by it. Recently, when we go to different places for concerts, you go around for our sake, looking for good places to eat. In year 2011, I’m looking forward to more delicious information from you!
To Leader
The memory of the both of us drinking together in the hotel room after concert was a good one. I always treasure the moments when I get to talk to Leader. In your private time, you really got sunburnt in year 2010 (laugh)! In year 2011, I’d love it if you could teach me fishing too. Next time, please bring me along ♪ And, please bring me to the sea where not many people has heard of ♪
To Sho-chan
Dear Sho-chan who never forgets to buy souvenirs of each member when you go for vacation or location shootings. Thank you for all the cute things you gave me in year 2010! Sorry I didn’t really return the favour… Please continue going out in year 2011, and buy us many many things (laugh)!
To Nino
To be honest, I joined in a baseball game once in year 2010. Although you’re my team mate, but seeing how busy Nino is, I couldn’t bring myself to ask you. But, sorry I have to say this, it was super fun (laugh)! Our team lost in that game, so in year 2011, I want to get my revenge and win the game. I’ll call you next time, let’s work hard together.
With time passing day by day, it was a year which was gone with the blink of an eye. Perhaps it shows that we’ve lived through year 2010 fully.

“Plea~se show me your victory pose!” As requested, it was a photo of their macho side.

To Matsujun
While this is what you do every year, I’m really thankful to have you planning and arranging our concert concepts. Especially in year 2010, with the hard schedule when you were filming your drama “Natsu no koi wa niji-iro ni kagayaku”, you still kept up with it. In year 2011, let’s continue working hard together!
To Satoshi-kun
Speaking of Satoshi-kun’s year 2010, it’s drama “Kaibutsu-kun” indeed! During that season, you gave me a set of “Kaibutsu-goods”, thank you very much. I’ll take advantage of my special privilege as a member and use them to the fullest~ (laugh) In year 2011, I want to return the favour in some form… I hope?
To Aiba-chan
In the clothe-coordination corner during “Himitsu no Arashi-chan” special, thank you for allowing me to steal your amazing fashion sense (laugh). Because of that tactic, I got to see a wonderful victory ♪ In year 2011, please allow me to call you fashionable “master”!
To Nino
Nino of year 2010, is one who kept working on movies. When you finished filming “Oh-oku” in Kyoto, you brought souvenirs for everyone even though you were so busy. I was so happy for the T-shirt and pickles I got. Year 2011 will mark the opening of “Gantz”. I am also a fan of the original series, so I’m really anticipating the movie!
Year 2010 was an “I talked a lot” year. In year 2011, I’ll go on with my engine on full throttle!

He moved to the very end of the room, and took the photo. What an individualistic idea!

To Jun-kun
In year 2010, you’ve worked hard on your drama “Natsu no koi wa niji-iro ni kagayaku”! How was the set when you were with my beloved Takeuchi Yuuko-san!? I’m so happy to be able to appear for a little while in the last episode. In year 2011, please continue to be so charming and don’t lose to your sparkles in the drama!
To Leader
Leader, you’ve worked hard going fishing in year 2010 haven’t you. In year 2011, keep up that spirit, and live your private time to the fullest! And your work too… well, you’ve done well of course. Continue doing whatever you like at your own pace, and just by that, it’s enough to keep you shining bright (smile)!
To Aiba-chan
Aiba-chan, in year 2010 your smiles were awesome as usual. In year 2011, it’s be great to have you continue being cheerful. I was away for a long time filming, and I didn’t know… You joined in a baseball game!? I definitely want to be a part of it next time! First let’s work hard on practicing (laugh)
To Sho-chan
Starring in drama “Tokujo Kabachi!!”, and going to Vancouver to cover for Olympics. Looking back, the beginning of year 2010 was a super busy period for Sho-chan. You’re really amazing. In year 2011, please continue to run on full sprint with all your might!
