Чаing
Ну да, ну да.It's almost like I've been there, It's almost like I'm seeing them in front of me, getting wet, I can even almost feel the pouring rain, and the cold, and the heartbeatings of the fans and mine going crazy.
Араши, вы делаете невозможное.
Араши, вы делаете невозможное.
"I can't remember everything everyone said, but something like...
Sho
said, "Thank you to all of you, especially everyone sitting up at the very top. Ten years ago, we put on our first concert. And I remember saying then: 'We want to become an Arashi that people will be proud to be fans of.' Now, I wonder, have we accomplished that?" The audience cheered in response. "Thank you very much. We keep mentioning the rain, but I think it's amazing that all of you are here in this weather and came determined to have fun with us. And I believe that these concerts, where everyone can join in with that fun, are truly our pride and joy as a group. So thank you, all of you, who are here tonight. And...I'm sure they don't want me saying this, but..." He took a deep breath, and yelled: "All of you people standing outside the stadium listening tonight, thank you to all of you, too!"
Ohno: "Thank you all. I never thought, ten years ago, even in my dreams, that I would be standing here in this place now."
Aiba:
"Thank you, thank you, thank you. You know, ten years ago on that first day of our debut... No matter what question anyone asked me at the press conference, I would answer, 'I want to raise a storm throughout the world.' The truth is... Though I kept saying that over and over, I don't think I ever understood what that meant. 'Raise a storm throughout the world.' But now I finally do know what it means, standing here tonight." (He was smiling hugely and had it pulled together one hundred percent, I was surprised.)
Nino turned around and immediately said mockingly, "'I wannaaaaa raise a stooooorm throughout the wooooorld!' None of us had a clue then what the hell he was talking about, and now he says ten years later that he's only just figured it out himself?!" Aiba turned around and butted in there briefly, I didn't catch what he said but he was really cute.
Then
Nino turned more serious and all jaw-clenchy, obviously working to hold it together. "Ten years ago, I think had given up from the start. I was a very unfair person, I think... Ah, well, of course I was! I'm human, after all. But if Arashi had not been these other four members with me, I feel sure that I would have quit. I definitely would not have made it to ten years. But Arashi isn't something we do alone. Arashi is something we make together with all of us. A lot of things have changed among us in these past ten years, of course. But some things have stayed the same. The transparent costumes, for one."
That got
a whooping reaction from the crowd, and he said teasingly (most everyone in the audience was wearing transparent ponchos), "Hey, you guys are wearing the same thing, don't forget!
"...but, you know, I really think there's a lot of value in that. I think it's very special for us: that some things will never, ever change. That's why you can still see us now dancing in our transparent costumes, dancing with vegetables, even in our tenth year! So let's all keep going together into the eleventh and the twelfth year and on..."
Jun
turned around. They were all so soaked it was hard to tell, but he looked like he'd been crying at Nino's words. He said, "Thank you. Thanks to all of you. We keep going back to the rain, but... I am so touched at how in this weather, none of you have moved from your seats to go home. You guys all chose to stay with us and stick it out through all of this weather. I really don't like to say it out loud, but... It's during concerts, more than anything, that I feel how much I value the other four members. How much I value everyone around me here. Moments like that, where I really feel how important everyone is, will hit me all of a sudden. And now... I'm having one of those moments right now."
His expression there was so cute, like he couldn't decide whether to laugh or cry, and the audience cheered at it, and he broke into a grin: "Thanks. This was the best birthday ever! Now, it's time for us to go to the last song, filled with our feelings of thanks to all of you. Please listen to it: 5x10."
They stood on the center stage and sang it standing in a line, with the stage mostly dark. The audience sang along loudly for the, "Honki de naite, honki de waratte, honki de nayande, honki de ikite..." part as Sho's voice rang out over us.
At, "Arigatou, korekara mo..." the music cut off completely there for a few seconds. They stood there unmoving, and then the music swelled to a huge crescendo and the lights flooded the stage brightly as they sang, "Arigatou!" Seeing the news footage, apparently the other two nights that was where they released the balloons, but in the rain it was impossible, so they did their best by turning up the lights and really making the music arrangement in that moment have impact.
The stage descended again and they disappeared, waving goodbye...
And then the call began..."
