Sakurai Sho “24HTV” 5th time Personality’s dignified presence - Thoughtfulness that could not be seen during broadcast

This year as well NTV’s large-scale special programme “24HTV40 Declaration～Take courage and convey～" (26 Aug 18:30～27 Aug 20:54) completed safely. After the official programme interview was conducted and idol group・ARASHI’s Sakurai Sho-san, saying “I was one step back and was bit relaxed on my work” and working as main personality together with KAT-TUN's Kamenashi Kazuya-san and NEWS’s Koyama Keiichiro-san, has shown that he was thoughtful about the surroundings in various scenes not on broadcast.

It is the fifth time Sakurai-san worked as the main personality in this programme including as member of ARASHI. Before the official broadcast, Sakurai-san displayed his message on the main monitor with which the tension of the audience raised instantly:

“Everyone, good evening, this is Sakurai Sho.
24HTV Love Safes The Earth is going to live broadcast very soon.
Starting from Kamenashi-kun and Koyama-kun,
the personalities will together
work to our utmost to deliver a splendid programme
Everyone please together
make the programme an exciting one!
Thank you for your support”

And then, during the first CM break, he made greetings to audience “this part will last for several hours though, I hope you would have fun! Thanks for your support~!”. When the broadcast at Budokan on the first day completed, he expressed gratitude to the audience stayed late at night “To you who came here, to you who helped us for making this programme, really thank you!”.

And then, during the time near the finale on 27 August, the choir formed by the junior high school and high school students of Fukushima had a project “Singing the hope towards future: Furusato (Hometown) and Fukushima conveyed by Sakurai Sho" in which they sang ARASHI’s song “Furusato” towards people in hometown. During the CM right before the live singing performance, Sakurai-san who was cheered by the audience said “Please don’t cast too much pressure on us~!” which made people at the venue laugh, and released the nervousness of the junior high school and high school students.

Then, he called for audience’s cooperation “This singing performance, they have a lot of practice, please do enjoy listening to it” and the people in the venue clapped hands naturally after hearing these words. When the performance completed safely, he waited until the last student got off the stage, sometimes he talked to the students.

Thus, when the live broadcast completed at 20:54 on 27 August, in the midst of big applause, the main casts delivered their greetings … (After greetings of Koyama-san and Kamenashi-san) it was Sakurai-san’s turn to deliver his greeting, while in order not to let the charity personality Ishihara Satomi-san bear the pressure of being the last to give greeting, he rearranged the order and let Ishihara-san speak first. But, when Ishihara-san delivered her greeting “24 hours, really thank you” in tears, Sakurai-san who did not anticipate such touching greeting joked “I should have said first (giggle)”, and then he expressed gratitude to the staff behind the scene “Not only the broadcast station in Tokyo but including the branch stations, I am aware that this is a programme which many people spent a lot of time to make. The cast and the staff may have prepared one year or two years for this programme, after long time (of preparation) we finally could reach for this programme today. Thank you very much!”

After that, Sakurai-san talked about his feeling after the programme during interview “The filming of TV drama (to be broadcast in October) completed, ‘24HTV’ completed, I feel that this is the end of summer. I personally felt that I really have passed through a great mountain”. While staying aware of the surrounding all along the programme, it seemed that it was a moment which Sakurai-san could finally relax a bit from the tension.
