“There were times when I wanted to let go of everything. But there were four people who told me they need me, so I’ve worked hard till today.”

— Sakurai Sho

Tell you what, I’m pretty sure that there are more than four people now who will tell you that (and more) any time anywhere, so you just keep working hard, Mr. Sakurai. You make a lot of people happy, and we do love you (even though I mock you sometimes), fail or no fail, earring or no earring, and yes, umbrella or no umbrella. :3.

Thank you for everything. Happy 30th birthday! ♥

“5x10” - Arashi (Live from Arashi’s 5x10 Anniversary Tour)

The years after we met felt like a coincidence, and now it’s already been ten years
The balloons floating up into the sky
The rocking boat that we five scrawny boys boarded together
“Let’s just smile…” “I’m sure our dreams are about to come true…”
The days in our past when we told ourselves that are all in our hearts now (yeah)

There were days when we felt nothing but impatience, anxiety, or anger
But because you were there, because your smiles were so warm
We’ve come this far (yeah) with your hands at our sides to hold onto (yeah)
Talking about the time we’ve spent together…it’s still a little embarrassing

The winds we gathered throughout our bodies, the unbearable sadness
Because you were there, we could turn it all into smiles

The poorly tuned harmonies we sang so innocently have seen many different worlds
And before we knew it, they had become who we are now

We genuinely cried, we genuinely laughed,
(There’s nothing we can offer now
Except words filled with all our love)
We genuinely worried, we genuinely lived,
(So we’ll say it in a song and sing it again
With all the love that has grown around us)
Now we have this moment, and we can be proud

We genuinely cried, we genuinely laughed,
(There’s nothing we can offer now
Except words filled with all our love)
We genuinely worried, we genuinely lived,
(So we’ll say it in a song and sing it again
With all the love that has grown around us)
Now we have this moment, and we can be proud

“Step by step” if there’s no path nearby, all we can do is walk the path we believe in
If you should ever cry, we’ll meet here again
We unchanging guys will send nothing but our love (yeah)
And wish for a future together for you (yeah)
We’ll use the wind to cross the mountain ahead, we can fly
We’ll paint everything around in our own colors, yeah

I’m looking up at the sky alone, and I wonder if you’re seeing it too
If you are, I’ll sing to the sky…yes, with all my strength

We genuinely cried, we genuinely laughed,
(There’s nothing we can offer now
Except words filled with all our love)
We genuinely worried, we genuinely lived,
(So we’ll say it in a song and sing it again
With all the love that has grown around us)
Now we have this moment, and we can be proud

As long as the voices we’ve exchanged don’t disappear,
We can swear to hold onto this love even 100 years from now
And we pray that you’ll still be smiling then

It’s always, always in our hearts, that’s why we want to try and show it to you
Thank you…”From now on as well, thank you”

We’re standing here now, able to shine because you’re there
The five of us will always be here, forever
If we turn everything up to now into our strength, and wrap it up with unchanging love
Eternity…look, eternity
Was born just for me and you

La la la la

Love love for you

Happy 12th year Anniversary, Arashi!

Thank you for being my sunshine. I honestly don’t know where I would be right now without all the inspiration, strength, and happiness that I draw from you.

大好きだよ！

これからもありがとう！
