"28 Songs to Play at Your Wedding from the Beloved Group 'Arashi' on Hiatus!"

National Idol ♡ Arashi

Arashi, consisting of five members: Satoshi Ohno, Sho Sakurai, Masaki Aiba, Kazunari Ninomiya, and Jun Matsumoto, belongs to Johnny's Entertainment.

Debuting in 1999, Arashi celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2019, but on January 27, 2019, a hiatus was announced through the fan club's website.

Everyone imagined that Arashi would continue to bring smiles all over Japan!

When the news of their hiatus broke, I’m sure everyone was surprised...

Arashi, with a fan club membership of about 3 million (overwhelmingly the largest in Japan!) and many flagship programs, was an absolute entity.

Thoughts of dissolution, hiatus, or retirement seemed completely unrelated to the image of Arashi, so the decision to take a break from group activities shocked Japan at that time....!!!

The leader, Satoshi Ohno, brought up his desire to "experience a normal life," "want to be free," and "want to close Arashi," which triggered a discussion among the members.

It seems that the members respected this feeling, deciding to take a break.

But! The members are still active ♡

However, after the announcement, the emergency press conference made it clear that this decision for the hiatus was a "unanimous decision of the five," reached after more than a year of discussions among all members.

Of course, the fact that they are on hiatus is sad, but

- I want to respect that decision

- It's much better for the five of them to be Arashi rather than continuing activities with just four without Ohno

- Let's enjoy the remaining two years with Arashi!

- If I think of it as Ohno's summer vacation, I can wait forever

- Hearing Ohno's honest feelings made me realize it’s okay to live for myself

Many fans took this positively ♡

The press conference had a warm atmosphere typical of Arashi, reminding me once again that they are a wonderful group I want to continue supporting ♡

Even during their hiatus, the other members are

Ninomiya is starring in dramas and films, and on the JaniNo channel.

Matsujun will appear in the Taiga drama "How to Act" starting in 2023.

Aiba is mainly involved in variety shows like VS Spirits.

Sakurai is active with weekly News ZERO,

which makes me happy to feel connected to them, as Matsujun and Sho have been doing fan club-exclusive streams.
