On the 6th, Arashi announced on their fan club website that they will disband next year. After over a year of discussions, they decided to reunite for one final concert to thank fans in person—something they couldn't do due to COVID—before ending their activities as a group of five. In the 2019 press conference about their hiatus, Sakurai Sho spoke on behalf of the group, saying, “If it’s not the five of us, it’s not Arashi.” Even in the discussions that led to their decision to disband, they remained committed to working as a group of five, having repeated talks to reach that conclusion.

Even though they made a comeback, everyone kind of knew they wouldn't continue as a group. It's nice that they clearly announced the fan club will end too, but for the fans who kept paying all this time, just one concert might feel a bit underwhelming—especially with no guarantee everyone will get tickets.

I feel bad for those who were waiting. 😢

You worked hard

I thought they had already disbanded a long time ago.

It’s not something that needs to be breaking news.
>> Yeah, do they really think the entire country gives a shit about them? Y'all aren't Ohtani.
>> For real, I thought something terrible had happened when they started with "Breaking news" on a serious news program with such a solemn face. Don’t air this kind of stuff on public channels, it should only be on the talk shows.

Thank you for your hard work, you were my youth

So they're gonna disband after a hiatus.

It’s probably because Ohno doesn’t want to do it anymore. The way he looks now shows he has no intention of coming back, he's just doing whatever he wants in Okinawa.

There's gonna be a war for those tickets

I was surprised when the notification came. Thank you for everything.

Finally

Another era is coming to an end...
14. [+69, -88]
Finally, I'd been waiting for their disbandment!

Seems like Ohno never really planned to come back from the start. Given his age, it's the right time.

The current whereabouts of the leader...

Finally! I’ve been paying for the fan club for years while the site didn’t even work.
>> You got to participate in fan events and even got tickets for Aiba's stage performances. So it wasn't actually inactive, no?

I always thought they're basically over already, but it's not easy to put an end to a national group like that in a clean way. I wonder how the fans feel.
