Arashi's concert is currently underway in Nagoya. Tomorrow, April 8th, is the final day, but we covered yesterday's excitement. (Michiya Matsumoto, Announcer; Vantelin Dome Nagoya, Higashi Ward, Nagoya; April 6th) "With Arashi's concert tour beginning, a huge number of fans have gathered here in Nagoya from all over the country. It's incredibly lively!" Despite the doors opening at 4 PM, many fans had already gathered around Vantelin Dome since the morning. The crowds heading to the dome from the nearest station, Nagoya Dome-mae Yada Station, were also congested. (Matsumoto) "They're heading straight towards Vantelin Dome Nagoya, like a river flowing." Furthermore, there were long lines at the merchandise booths… Arashi will be ending their group activities at the end of May. What thoughts must the fans have had as they approached this final tour? (30 Years as a Fan) "I've been a fan of Sho Sakurai since his days as a backup dancer!" A woman was holding... a fan with a picture of Sho Sakurai with a still-innocent expression. (From Gifu) "I went to a KinKi Kids concert and was captivated by the charm of the dancers in the background, and that's when I became a fan." She's been a fan of Sho Sakurai since his days as a backup dancer, even before his debut with Arashi!!! She's been a fan for 30 years! (From Gifu) "This hat is merchandise from Sho-kun's old concert, 'THE SHOW.' I was wondering what I should bring, so I made everything myself." She's fully equipped with handmade cheering goods, showing her enthusiasm! She's made over 10 costumes so far! On the other hand, what is this outfit...? (From Kanagawa) Q. What are you wearing now? "This is the opening costume from the 2013 Arashi Festival. I made it to be the same as the one Arashi wore, a copy of theirs. It's based on Satoshi Ohno's pattern and Kazunari Ninomiya's pattern." Q. Are you involved in the fashion industry? "No, not at all! I'm completely self-taught." This level of quality achieved through self-study. She has made over 10 costumes so far!! (From Kanagawa) "When I go to concerts and see the costumes, I think, 'I want to make that next time.' When I make it and come to the concert, my friends gather around, and we all take pictures and have a great time... Kyaa, hello!!" She also ran into friends during the photoshoot. More and more friends connected to Arashi kept showing up. Fans were excited about the long-awaited reunions. However, this woman made a shocking statement… She traveled all the way from Kanagawa Prefecture to Nagoya without a ticket. (Woman) "Since each person can only attend this tour once, I'm just hanging out around the venue." She revealed that she had traveled all the way from Kanagawa Prefecture to Nagoya without a ticket for the June 6th performance. (From Kanagawa) "I'm going to an Arashi concert, but for me, the 'Arashi tour' also includes the interactions with friends I meet there. Arashi has connected me with so many friends, so it's like a final reunion." A male fan from Aomori: "Sakurai-kun will be hyping up the crowd…" We also met a man who had traveled even further to Nagoya. (From Aomori) "I came to the concert from Aomori. I flew here. It's a little too hot. (In Aomori) you can still see your breath in the morning." What this man is looking forward to is… (From Aomori) "Sakurai-kun will hype up the crowd, saying, 'How are you guys doing?' Not high-pitched screams, but more like 'brown' voices… 'Whoa!' I'll do my best as one of them." Furthermore, Arashi's fans aren't limited to Japan… (From China) Q. Where are you from? "I came from China. I studied Japanese after watching Arashi, and now I'm studying in Japan." He's studying in Japan because he loves Arashi so much. (From China) "Thanks to Arashi, my life has changed, from coming to Japan to having all sorts of experiences, and I'm very grateful." Clutching a certain snack while getting a ticket Next, two people are seen taking pictures with snacks in their hands… (From Osaka and Toyama) "I'm praying for good seats. There's a superstition that if you clutch a BIG Katsu (big pork cutlet) when you get your ticket, you'll get good seats." Arashi's concerts have a system where your seat is assigned only at the entrance gate. Apparently, among fans, it's said that if you enter with a BIG Katsu in hand, you'll "get good seats!" (From Osaka and Toyama) "I want to cling to anything I can." And then there was the eye-catching woman dressed entirely in green. (From Gifu) "Aiba-kun's color is green, so I wanted to show my 'I love you' feeling." Upon closer inspection, her hair, extensions, nails, and eyelashes were all adorned with the image colors of the five members. (From Gifu) "I'd be happy if they could feel how much effort I put in and how much I was looking forward to it." The overflowing feelings for Arashi were evident from every fan.
