■ J-web, report of Kokuritsu concert on 28 Aug updated.
We brought the scenes of 3 days concert at Koturitsu, first day 28 Aug. 2nd time at national stadium. Arashi call by70,000 audiences who wait momently for the appearance of 5 peals out in this open spacious space. From top of main stage members appears the call “Let’s go! Kokuritsu!!” by Matsumoto get start concert. Members shouted “Kokuristu!!” flying from there to the Olympic cauldron 200m distance with 30m height, from beginning in full throttle. Sakurai “Everybody says!”, Ninomiya “lauder! lauder” they inflate tensions of stadium. It was powerful staging that Members run through, crisscross this specious stage. Aiba wave his hands jumping and extending his hand in full blast. Ohno takes peace sign to bring each fan. Such a peaceful ambiance never feel the venue is so spacious. Also at sunset a ballad tune gives ambience. A stadium concert can realize this staging. Tune that 5 dance shapely, good team work that they sing putting their arms around each other's shoulders. Variously Arashi attracts the audiences. One of fun is MC for Arashi concert... The bomb of laughter in the stadium, fullness of fun.
Then at the end of concert members greets “Thank you!”And bowing all around. Sakurai:” I feel so happy. Today I could see all of your faces, and open the concert. Really happy group we are. 10years ago I didn’t think I could reach 10th year in such a circumstance with so many people. This is thanking to all of you that we reach 10th year in such a circumstance. Thank you for your continued help. Thanks you very much for today.” Next Ohno: “Err… this is 10th year. I ‘m here feeling strange situation. I couldn’t imagine I could be here 10 years ago. It passed by like a flash…” then He was at a loss for words for tears on his eyes. Audiences called him “hang on!” Ohno:” I don’t cry” he smile embarrassingly. “My honest feeling is to be here with a strange feeling. We are really happy that you support us for 10 long years. Please keep watching for us. Thanks for coming today.” Aiba who hugged Ohno speaking with wet eyes. “I really like concerts I like the moment of 28 August, this place…. I think Arashi is surrounded by good people. As you are here we could have concert every year. Also we had concert this year too. I said already this 1st year. I repeat once we make storm all over the world! Thank you very much. Thank you for your continued help.” Ninomiya: “I have never done anything seriously for 10 years since I was born. I just played baseball for 15 years, just played games for 20 years.” Continuing seriously for 10 years because you supported me…”then fireworks shoot from Jingu baseball field where is next to Kokuritsu. “Jingu-san also celebrates us.” Then” I wanted to say something good but I forgot.” “I want to say thank you to all of staffs, people who tried to create something with us, people supported us. I realize again now I had good members. Thank you for coming today. I really enjoyed. Last Matsumoto: “it’s been 10 years since we made debut 10 1999. Various things happened for this 10 years. All of us made each step. It is not only us, included all of staffs and all of fans. All of fans As you supported as we reached 10th years, I think. I usually don’t feel accomplishment but today is truly a good day. Thank you very much! But it’s still 10 year. I wish in 11th year 12th year in the future too, 5 of us and all of you keep raising Arashi together, so please enjoy with us! Thank you very much!

I make it super coolest, but when I reached my front teeth were completely dried. N: you are too much nervous. Before flying you asked Aiba-kun “please give me water, a sip is fine.” A: you drank my water! S: Yes, I did, because I had to calm down. (grin) A: You hardly see Sho-chan frighten with such a thing. S: I’m not hardly scared. N: Is it freighting? N: no! I’m not scared. M: wait! What! Are you scared? O: Area you scared? S: I’m not scared. M: Look!
