Arashi delivered a live event “Arafes 2020 at the National Stadium” on the 3rd. With the exception of the song shows, it is currently the last solo live before the end of the year. The two-part composition of Part 1 and Part 2 produced the largest consecutive production in history and performed a total of 40 songs. It was a pre-recorded performance with no audience, but that day, 5 members also “watched” the broadcast. As we celebrated the 21st anniversary of their debut with live fan club distribution, it turned into a “stormy day” in which we spent as much time as our fans.

Jun Matsumoto (37) First of all, thank you very much to everyone who took a look. We were able to celebrate this day with the support of many people. I felt very lonely at the moment when I had to do it without an audience and only without an audience. I was wondering if there was any way, but I thought it would be the distribution that everyone could connect the same way, so it became like this

There are no people, but I did it while looking at the lanterns in the audience and imagining that each person was here. Looking at the image that is being delivered again today, I was looking at the SNS and could wonder if it was a long time ago. It’s a situation like this, but I think it’s because I was able to spend the same time.

Since the album was released, I hope we can still deliver our music, and I hope we can do it until the end of December. As both the leader and Nino said, I still want to do a live performance in front of everyone, and I don’t feel like I did, so I don’t know when that opportunity will happen, but I want to. I will. Above all, there are two months left and first of all, thank you all for the 21st anniversary. I look forward to working with you.
