Dear audience, thank you very much for today. I can see the reaction from the very top (pointing at the audience), thanks, to the very side, it’s splendid, it was a marvellous view of having full house! Thank you very much.
While there is a sea of penlight here now, in December 1995, I first performed on a concert. It was the concert of V6-san. My senpais were in front of me. “So this is the sea of penlight formed by the fans of senpai V6, it’s so beautiful”, I thought it that time when I was a junior high school grade 2 student then. That was the sea of penlight of senpais, and in our 20th anniversary, that is after around 24 years, we can see our own sea of penlight, this is really fortunate. Again, thank you very much. I am allowed to work on various works, and I am allowed to do concerts, I think because I want to do these works so I became ARASHI, because I want to see this scenery so that I sent my CV to Johnny’s. It was a splendid scenery.
This 5×〇 started from our 5th anniversary. 5x5. So 5 and 5, the two numbers line up like this looked good, right? Firstly it was 5x5. During our 5th anniversary. As for me personally, it was the timing that I graduated from university. Speaking of ARASHI, it was the year that we were allowed to work on 24HTV for the first time. So we kept being together after five years, and then we did 24HTV that year. “Ah, this is such a great thing”, I was very touched.
From then, five years passed and it was 5x10. The number on the right changed to be 10. It was great that we continued to be ARASHI for ten years, and then we also performed at Kokuritsu Stadium. Do you know about the Kokuritsu Stadium tour? The opening. During "Kansha Kangeki Ame Arashi" we appeared hanging at a very high place. Do you know my line? “So so there is no good thing” (giggle). But it was really beautiful. If you haven’t seen this, there is DVD recording for this concert~ It was splendid, 5x10. There must also be many people here who went to that concert, right? That was a splendid scenery … Oh? So many of you had been that concert? It’s more than I imagined, thanks.
From then, five years passed and during our 15th anniversary, though 5x15 was not the trigger, we were allowed to perform in Hawaii and Miyagi.
5×10, 5×15, days accumulated so that we came to 5x20. I haven’t imagined that we could come so far. I am really happy that from 1999 when I was high school grade 3, I came so far to here, the number of years increase so far to 20.
However on the other hand, as the number on the right increases gradually from 5 to 10 to 15, the more you go, the more it changes. While the number 5 on the left, that the number 5 not changing at all means so much to me, or shall I call it a big pride to me. This number 5 which doesn’t change is a treasure to me. I feel that this is a big treasure to me, while as I just mentioned, thanks to all of you, the number of the right can grow and grow. Our fans who support us a lot, the related people who support us in various places, and then, the staff who are very close to us, thanks to all of you, the number 5 on the left can always stay unchanged while the number of the right can grow and grow.
Really, I am grateful to your support day by day. Though I have stated it many times, I am wholeheartedly grateful that you all bring me to this place where I can see such beautiful sceneries.
Once again, thank you very much for today.
