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.

Sho Sakurai (38) Thank you very much for your thanks today, from the back of the screen to the front of the screen. We hope you have enjoyed “Arafes 2020”.

Looking back, I made my debut on November 3, 21 years ago. When I arrived at the venue in the morning haze, I remember being surprised that there was already a line of handshake events. I think I was able to reach a landscape that I had never imagined at that time. Twenty-one years ago, I didn’t expect to be standing at the National Stadium, and I didn’t expect to have such a neglected broadcast concert.

Twenty-one years later, I think again that if you don’t want hard, you won’t be able to achieve your desired future. Above all, it was because you supported me and because you pushed my back hard. Thank you for your continued support.
