This book compiles various episodes from the end of December 2020, when Arashi suspended its activities, to the end of May 2026, when they will conclude their activities, as well as the trajectory and miracles of the five members of Arashi from their debut to the present, based on voices of 'Arashic' (fans) and interviews with media personnel.
'I had to accept the reality of the hiatus, but seeing the smiles of the five saved me. The tears wouldn't stop, but in the end, I only had feelings of gratitude.'
'Even online, there was a sense of unity. The pre-live plans and the calls to the fans were so warm that I felt like I was in the same space as Arashi while staying at home.'
Comments from fans on the last live concert before Arashi suspended group activities - 'This is Arashi LIVE 2020.12.31'
'The five members of Arashi have always cherished the feelings of their fans just as much as they have respected each other's feelings. I believe they intentionally avoided using the word "disbandment" because they wanted to convey the meaning that the five members are not just scattering apart. They won't be active under the big signboard of Arashi in the future, but perhaps it's a message that each of the five will continue their activities with the "pride of having been a member of Arashi" in their hearts.'
A music industry insider's comment on choosing the form of 'ending activities' over 'disbandment'
'Yay, I won the tickets for the final day! I might have used up all my luck. Still, I'm supremely happy.'
'I got my third choice! I lost the Tokyo Dome lottery, but I'll participate in Sapporo on the first day.'
'Even long-time fans with single-digit Arashi fan club membership numbers all lost the lottery. I can't stop crying.'
'I know the results were announced today, but... I'm too scared to look.'
Fans' comments regarding the lottery results for viewing tickets of 'ARASHI LIVE TOUR 2026 We are ARASHI'
'When I heard "We are ARASHI", tears naturally fell. Ah, they consider us as their comrades until the very end.'
Fan comments upon hearing the title
'It's like a graduation ceremony, isn't it? But it's not just sad. I think it's a time to embrace the memories of 27 years together.'
A comment from a veteran Arashic
The countdown to the end of activities has already begun. But we are not just waiting for the end. From the spring breeze in Sapporo to the final stage at Tokyo Dome, we will walk alongside Arashi, carving each and every performance into our hearts. So that Arashi can be 'like Arashi' until the end. And so that we too can be 'Arashic' until the very end. Now, to the promised place.
'We are ARASHI' -- with those words in our hearts, together with the five, we want to welcome the best finale.
