※ Conversation between the five members, searching the landing place
As my personal thought, because we sing in a form of five people, I could not think about singing the songs of ARASHI using the name of ARASHI without Ohno.
While it has been repeated before, ARASHI is not ARASHI, the name ARASHI cannot be used even one member is missing, we five shared this same thought.
Therefore, in some way, in other words, to watch over ARASHI, to protect ARASHI to the end, I thought that I am right in the middle of everyone’s thoughts, and I would have to find a place where everyone could properly agree with.
After that, I calmly asked the opinion of all members, “Then, what does Aiba-kun think? What about Nino? What about MatsuJun?”, “Ah, I see”. “Sorry but, this isn’t something that I can say ‘I see today’. Let’s spend some time and talk about it again”.
I intended to be calm, but indeed I was confused, when I woke up the next morning, it never happened to me but, I woke up in the hotel room on the floor under the bed, I thought I was very shocked.
We are a group that even after such discussion, after we finished the discussion, we would say “Then, see you tomorrow”, and we talked as we have been, we had a joyful atmosphere as we have been, “Then, let’s talk about it again”, we were like this in June 2017.
I had one-on-one talk with Ohno. “Then, for instance, what about having the activities like this format?”, “What about in that format?”, we had various discussion, but I felt that he was firm on his mind.
After that, Ohno also had various discussion with other members, while Ohno had various discussion with other members, I also had many discussion with other members.
Somehow, I wanted to unify everyone’s thoughts into one.
Not only me but the other four members also think so as well.
It was also nervous to have the discussion at home, even we had discussion at restaurants, it was difficult to choose the restaurants, when it was ARASHI to go to the restaurant. What about the route to the washroom? What about the private room? What about MatsuJun-kun being in the restaurant? Things like that.
Indeed it was not just peaceful discussion all the time. Having said that, it was not tense. Indeed we are mature grown-ups, so we five sincerely continued our discussion on deciding the future of ARASHI.
During the process of discussion, though I felt a bit down, now everything is decided, from June 2018, I felt that we had a deeper and stronger kizuna.
Because that question was about sincerity, which was what we would like to convey the most, it might be that I have a slightly raised temperature in myself.
However, thanks to that question, as a result, we were able to convey our whole heart with temperature.
Therefore, including the previous questions as well as other questions from various angles, many reporters gathered at night for this press conference, they could ask us various questions and we could convey our thoughts, this was really good.
