“For myself and perhaps for everyone in Arashi, things like looking attractive and stylish were to be our job. But we do show sides of ourselves which aren’t attractive or cool. Things that we suck at etc., embarrassing stories and stuff. I do think that unconsciously displaying my ugly side is something needed, I guess.”-Sakurai Sho
“The popularity of this group called Arashi is linked to the closeness you can feel even/ through the television screen”-Futagawa Masafumi, VSA Producer
“Arashi truly gets along well” became the collective words of reporters. But it is because of this mellow atmosphere that they did not become a group that pushed others aside in order to get ahead.“- Jyousei Seven
“Do you know how many appearances these guys make during live shows and on TV? If there were even a little tension between the members of Arashi, we would easily be able to know.”-Arashi Fan(rocket news)
“Our strength would be the fact that we’re close. Our weakness would be that we’re too close so we don’t really interact with the outside world.”-Ninomiya Kazunari
Arashi got so into taking selfies for the Are You Happy? jacket that they were pressed together and the staff asked them to add some space.
Otsukare Arashi! Thank you for all the rainbows and love in 2016.
For 2017, yoroshiku onegaishimasu!!!
We will be definitely be here once again for you guys! 💜❤💚💛💙
“With every year, the fun being in Arashi just keeps growing…. That is why it’s definite for these 5 people to be together, I can’t imagine Arashi with anyone missing. ”-Sakurai Sho
