Yes I am so happy for him! I knew that we would hear about it at some point in the future, but I did not expect it so soon, or in the midst of so much other Arashi news. My hope is that the fandom (in Japan and internationally) can be supportive of him. I know that the news affects people differently and some people will need more time to process which is understandable, but I hope that people can be at least respectful of his decision and that the audience at their upcoming concert will be positive. I applaud him and the PR team for deciding to announce it through a handwritten letter to the fanclub. It shows how much he cares for the fans 💛. Arashi has always said that they will communicate with the fans directly if there was ever important news about them.

On a different note, I appreciate how many Ninoai posts the hashtag generated before the official announcement.
