My Alternate World

Arashi suspends group activities throughout the year. It’s remaining 5 months, Pleasant information comes…

The members of Arashi have been discussing about the future while the limit of activity was approaching. As a result, they will continue to run with five people in 2021. Behind the decision to “postpone” is a big event that everyone wants to participate in. “It seems that they are thinking of continuing their activities for the next year. It seems to be the conclusion made by the conversations between five members ”

Due to the influence of the new coronavirus, the event scheduled for last year has been forced to change. “The February performance in Beijing, China was canceled, “Arafes 2020” scheduled to be held at the new National Stadium in May will be postponed. In July, I was supposed to serve as “NHK Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Broadcast Special Navigator,” but the Olympics itself has been postponed.“ (Sports reporter)

However, there are still possibilities for the Olympic Games. The  International Olympic Committee announced that games will postpone one year and Arashi will not be in but NHK announced at a press conference they “are not thinking about any changes” Fans are expecting to see the Arashi next year as well.” (Sports reporter)

There was an option to use four people as navigators, just considering the Olympics…

They aren’t thinking about extending the deadline for suspension. “Suspends as planned, Ohno  Satoshi will also stop performing. However, if the Olympics will be held next year, he is thinking of working as a group for a few weeks during the period. “they will be active for a certain period of time.” “ they didn’t want to show to fans "Arashi without Ohno” at the big event such Olympics.“ However, if the corona is not over, there is no guarantee that we will be able to do it next year, so we will have to make a decision based on the situation."  

 Although it is only for a limited time, it is a pleasure for the fans that all 5 people are together. However, when it is postponed, Ohno’s emotional state becomes a concern.

"From around September 2014, Ohno wants to leave the entertainment world. In June 2017, he consulted with the other four people that he wanted to live a free life and had many discussions. As a result, Ohno came to the conclusion that it was a pause.” (wide show official) After the crisis, Ohno chose to become an “ordinary person”. That idea has not changed.

This big event was what Ohno wanted. "From September 9th of this year, we will hold a solo exhibition "FREESTYLE 2020 Satoshi Ohno” at Roppongi Hills in Tokyo. Ohno has been producing paintings in parallel with his entertainment activities. and it will be the culmination of his creative activities.“ However, the idea seems to have changed as the situation in which he could not stand in front of his fans continued.

"Great opportunity” to stand in front of fans

“Some media reported that we’re talking about holding a postponed new National Stadium performance in October. But Corona isn’t on track to finish by the end of the year. Then, next year. The Olympic Games will be a great opportunity to stand in front of many fans.”

“As a result of discussions over and over, I understand that I have agreed to return to the condition for a limited time. Arashi has a rule that "If I don’t like I don’t do”. The bottom line is that no one finally opposed it,“ said a TV station official.

*Activities as Arashi will decrease drastically from next year.

Two regular programs, VS Arashi and Arashi Ni Shiyagare, are likely to end this year. It’s hard to think that four people without Ohno will continue the program. Next year each member will be active in their respective specialty fields.Ninomiya and Matsumoto will be only actors, Sakurai will be a caster, Aiba host variety shows, “That’s why the Olympic Games are a valuable opportunity for everyone to come together”

If the “postponement plan” is realized, it will lead to a new legend.

“Even though it’s been a few weeks, if all of us are together, we will be given the image of "Arashi is still alive.” Even if the Olympics are over, fans should think “someday will come back.” If you do, it will become a legend that will remain in Johnny’s history.“

If the corona is over, the five people will show their fans a “endless dream”.

Kame and Leader’s sushi date

From: VS Arashi 2014.12.18

└ When Jun makes Sho sad… and then exceedingly happy.

The first hint is Sho’s expression and how “fast” he is when it comes to pressing the button for the coriander hotpot (pakuchi nabe) question.

When I was so sure he wouldn’t attempt to answer at all, all of Arashi had answered wrongly, and guess who answers correctly?  Well, Neens is quick to provide friendly support (LOL).

Just see that pained face~~

And our youngest has to question the point of it all when BOTH the ‘winners’ HATE coriander.

Still, things looks optimistic enough…

With Sho-kun actually impressed that he likes the taste of the chicken cooked in the coriander broth.

And then he takes a sip of the broth.  You know that only spells doom.

So much so that the MC and Go-kun express concern over the facial acrobatics that Sho-kun is displaying as an idol.

And as Sho-kun tries to rein in his sanity expression,

OTP-enabler will never fail to do his job.

Nino: I kind of want to see J eat [the coriander nabe].

Jun: Why the heck do I have to eat it?!

I can see you wanting your better half’s company in your misery, Sho-kun.

… even as our youngest tries to remind us that he WON his round (and shouldn’t be subjected to the ‘punishment’)

And then miracle of miracles as Jun finds the dish delicious!  I think he’s actually just weak with raw coriander, but okay with cooked coriander (as seen from Pittanko KanKan SP when he did his promo for 99.9)

Now now now, Sho-kun.  There is no need for that look of having been betrayed.

Okay you two.  We’ve had enough fun at your expense (for now).
