The suspension of the Arashi campaign is approaching the end of the past six months.
"It was recently reported that a documentary film of the 20th anniversary concert held in 2019 will be released at the Shanghai International Film Festival in June. In terms of personal activities, although Tomomo Ohno (40 years old) suspended his acting activities, the other members were very active. (Sports Daily reporter)
Sho Sakurai (39) starred in the April TV series Nemesis (Nippon Television), Masaki Aoba (38) had three variety shows, and Kazuya Ninomiya (37) started doing YouTuber. In addition, Matsumoto Jun (37), who has not been active in front of people this year, is filming the film version of "99.9".
"Matsumoto took a break from work for 3 months after the start of the year, and when he started making movies, he said, 'It's been a long time since I've been there!' , the feeling is having fun. (Film related people)
These Arashi members will continue to bring happy days to fans in the future. If you have to ask why, it is that the members have been continuously designated as the main actors of the TV series.
"First of all, Aiba will be starring again after a gap of three years in October. Then I heard that Matsumoto was scheduled for next January's TV series, and Ninomiya was scheduled for April next year. This is the invitation they received separately after the suspension of the Arashi campaign, and it is not intended to be 'relayed'..." (TV series production related)
In fact, a similar thing happened 10 years ago.
▲Big River Drama "How to Do Ieyasu"
■ Possibility of friendship cameos between members...
"Between 2009 and 11, 5 members starred in the TV series. At that time, the next members of the TV series will go to the final return of the current drama. Performances across different TV stations's TV Series Relay! It made the fans particularly excited. ”
The person who spoke about the production of the TV series believes that "this friendship cameo between members is not impossible. ”
Although it is still impossible to decide anything, after the event is over, they often mention the names of the members in their respective variety shows and radio programs, and they will also appear as guests on each other's shows. It makes people feel very strongly that 'even if the activity is stopped, we will still be Arashi'. ”
This contains the will not to let the "Fire of Arashi" be extinguished.
"'At present, we have set the 23-year Ōkawa drama "How to Do Ieyasu" starring Matsumoto, and we must greet it after filming', 24 years is the 25th anniversary of the establishment of Arashi. They were unable to perform in full force in the last year before the suspension due to the pandemic, so I think the likelihood of 'regrouping' and celebrating with fans at this important juncture of '24' is very high. So they should have wanted to keep the 'Arashi Fire' burning before that day came. (Ibid., tv drama production related people)
Members are now connected to each other through line groups.
"They seem to express their feelings after watching the show starring the members." He also kept in touch with Ohno. (Ibid., tv drama production related people)
Until the day of the regroupment, they passed the baton of the starring TV series and shared this "Arashi's bond" ——。 (Cang Yu /Translation)
