Myojo magazine celebrated Sexy Zone's 10th Anniversary and each Sexy Zone member could invite a special guest with which they'll hold a one-on-one dialogue. For his guest, Fuma chose Nino. Enjoy their witty banter below!

( I'm curious why you chose me for Jyanino Channel. )

Arashi filmed a backstage segment on November 3rd, after their surprise appearance at the 5x20 Film screening. The video was posted to the FC site to commemorate the nationwide release of "Record of Memories". Not gonna lie, I think I teared up a bit when I heard Ohno's voice.

Hi everyone! It's been a looong while, hasn't it? I missed reading about our famous 5 and asked

Someone suggested that I translate the "This is Arashi" pamphlet round-table, so here it is! I'm sorry that I only translated the excerpts as I don't have the stamina to plough through full translations these days.

It makes me happy to see my fandoms collide!

NEWS' Masuda celebrated the 5-year anniversary of his corner on JWeb, and Arashi's Matsumoto Jun sent in a question for the occasion.

In late December, Arashi posted an FC video where they reflected on the different aspects of ARAFES 2020!

Here's Part 2 of the series! The members discuss the Greetings Shuffle and their thoughts on Jun's solo, Shake It!

The translation is 13 pages long on my Word document so far so I'll be splitting the translation in a series of posts.

In Part 1, the members discuss the song rankings based on the fans' votes and their thoughts on dancing to Love Situation.

Just when I thought I wouldn't have anything to post for Sho's birthday, each Arashi member sent a birthday message to Sho! There's even a bonus mention of Ohno as well, though he didn't appear in the video.

We also got a message from the birthday boy himself, read on for more details!

Josei Joshin spoke to some TV staff to understand Arashi's battle in their last week in the lead up to the hiatus.

Arashi's Battle in their last week

Jun was spotted exiting his gym on 25 Dec. Arashi had just wrapped up the final episode of VSA the day before. On Christmas afternoon, Arashi members gathered for a meeting and rehearsal for Music Station, which ended at around 11pm.

A TV station staff said they had nothing but admiration for Arashi's last week. "They prepared for their New Year Eve Live while appearing on different TV stations, so their schedules must have been crazy. While they must have wanted their fans to enjoy their shows, the TV staff also felt Arashi's devotion and were sincerely moved, because Arashi carefully spoke of their gratitude and memories for each station."

An NTV staff also shared what happened during the filming of the last episode for Arashi ni Shiyagare.

"When the cameras weren't rolling, the 5 members didn't stop smiling. After the broadcast ended, they gave high-fives to all the staff through acrylic panels. Some staff members were also in tears. The staff applauded them as Arashi left the studio."

A NHK staff keenly felt Arashi's passion as he took part in the meeting discussions for Kouhaku. "I heard that Matsumoto-san personally requested to have a virtual meeting with the Kouhaku production staff. Artistes themselves rarely participate in these meetings. While Arashi sang 3 songs, the staff whom he met with for each song was different. A certain team had a different opinion from Matsumoto-san, and apparently had a tense discussion for close to an hour. Matsumoto-san said, 'I don't want a half-assed attempt at it, and I don't want any compromises. We want to finish this in a stoic and professional manner.'"

Here's a translation that I did on Twitter a few months back when Arashi announced the "This is Arashi" concert. I'm so glad and relieved that they managed to pull off this concert without any major incident and enter the hiatus on such a high note.

( Ohno-san, do you know the date? )

VSA producer Kan Tsuyoshi posted a moving tribute to Arashi on his LINE blog. I've translated the entry here.

( Arashi has safely completed the race. )

Withnews published this moving article which depicted a mother's fan letter to Arashi, 7 years after she had passed away. Her son received the letter in his first year of high school, as Arashi celebrated their 21st anniversary.

“Dear Arashi-san,

From, my mother on December 15th, 2013”

On the morning of September 15th, as popular idol group Arashi welcomed their 21st anniversary, Ichito-san, who had just started his first year in high school, received a letter from his father. The sender was Ichito’s mother, who had passed away 7 years ago. It was a fan letter that his mother had written before she died. It got a huge response when Ichito published the letter on Twitter. I sat down with Ichito, who said how meaningful the letter was to him.

( "Today, I brought my son to your concert for the first time." )

Arashi announced a bunch of very exciting news on their birthday today! Check out the details in the translation of the Fan Club message below.

Arashi: This is Arashi!

Sho: Well, today! Today... what day is it?

Ohno: Today? Well today is the day when Arashi was formed!

( It's been our routine lately, information overload. )

SPOILER ALERT.

As with episode 1, this week's release has given me much to observe and think about. I'm sure there are fans out there who would love to chat about this episode without spoiling the rest who haven't seen it, so feel free to do it here.

Read on for more screencaps and commentary!

( Shall we try harder? )

I had the opportunity to rewatch Untitled on Youtube and once again, I'm struck by the beauty of "Song For You", a song Arashi dedicated to their fans.

( We'll show you the dreams we've painted on the open sea )

This translation was longer than I had expected so I decided to post it here on LJ as well. It's taken from the FC pamphlet, 20th anniversary issue. Enjoy!

This whole segment is dedicated to the SS Walk, which is Sho's version of the MJ Walk. Guess how Sho pulled it off?

This was an old project which I started back in 2014 when the Kokuritsu Photo Book was first published. This post picks up on the Arashi cross-talk discussing the 5x10 Anniversary concert, heavily featuring the see-through outfits.

Ever since Arashi mentioned that "Kimi no Uta" was the song they most wanted to convey to their fans before the hiatus, I started to look a little closer at the lyrics.
