Storm Freaks

Arashi woke up from its slumber last May and by now everyone has celebrated their birthdays for the last time as members of Arashi!




They will no longer be able to introduce themselves as "Arashi no...".

This year, something that brought me so much joy and almost killed me a few times, will cease to exist!

I will certainly continue to be happy with news about Jun, Aiba, and Sho's works, but... I won't be able to know anything about Ohno...

I followed them exclusively for 14 years. Only Arashi. I don't know about the lives of other Johnny's (oh, let me call them that! It's easier to reference!). Nor did I switch to K-pop. Only and solely Arashi!

I have here beautiful goods from live cons and movies/dramas, that I managed to buy over the years despite the high exchange rate and import costs, and I want to keep it with me because it brings back so many good memories!

This was the longest goodbye I've ever seen! Seven years!!!

A wonderful group! A dream machine! And it's going to stop! It's hard to understand when we see so many bands last fifty years!

We'll have a new single that we'll be singing to death! And a final tour from March to May, and that's it.



What celebrities did I like before Arashi? Old movies. Golden Age Hollywood. European films. When I discovered Arashi, Japanese films and dramas took up a good portion of the films I normally watched. I stopped following and even forgot about many American actors!

I still want to visit Japan and personally see all the locations from dramas and films with the boys!!

But I'll live one day at a time and see how it goes in May! Arashi always manages to make me feel inspired!
