T/N: Please read this version with caution. I do believe the song is written for fans, but I just keep thinking that part of the lyrics is “from ARARSHI members to ARASHI members” so there is this “to members” version, in other words, this is largely my interpretation.

Please read my previous post for “to fans” version in case you are not into this “to members” perspective. Thanks.


5x20
Lyrics: ARASHI
Rap: Sakurai Sho

La la la la...
Once again, we met here.

Several years after we met, suddenly, we spent our time living good days together
Saying “Go cruising from tomorrow?”, our fate keeps us next to each other now

“Looking for arashi, the surrounding is clamorous; such tremendous excitement is simply because they are ARASHI”
We laugh about trivial things, we are said to be “in good relationship”, occasionally (ha ha)

Even if we returned to that day, you would stay beside me as have been... right?
No matter how heavily rainy the day is, we are still... right? Fellows, look (hey, look)

When listening to the singing of that moment, the memories pour down, always

Even there are few wounds, there are also lots of kiss. All the time... lots of kiss from the rift in the clouds

In the years of time that we have been through, there was no useless effort.
Whenever you are with us, we can fly wherever, ever, forever.

Cry in our earnest, laugh in our earnest
Think in our earnest, live in our earnest
So we stand here.

That we gather and say thank you to each other
Is not a matter of course, but a fortunate moment
Let us smile and celebrate today.

We would like to convey our lots of love, again and again
“We shall look at our future together”, our vow echoes on the swaying cruiser

Reaching towards the horizon line, today we are also the same as have been
Like the twinkling stars after the storm, we always watch over each other, to all my hommies

The way of laughing, the way of speaking, the fellows who are warm in all these aspects
Surely cannot be found anywhere else, because... there are no other such guys than you, really

Countless dreams have come true (yeah), "5" is my treasure number (yeah)

We stand beside each other, we hold our hands together, no matter today or future/tomorrow, we smile again again.....

The sceneries we saw together still keep moving well even now.
The thoughts we have dearly watched over will continue in the future. Forever....

Cry in our earnest, laugh in our earnest
Think in our earnest, live in our earnest
So we stand here.

We would like to convey to you earlier than anyone else.
We hope that our thoughts would be well conveyed.
It’s OK. We are here.

Though there have been miserable things and regretful things, but
We are always 5 together
keeping looking at tomorrow.

La la la la...
The 20 years that we have been walking together... What a magnificent time

Just looking at your face, just listening to your voice
I would know what you are thinking.
5 and you x 20

“So what shall we do next?”, there is no need to worry
Because the years of time we have genuinely gone through will guide us
So, now, once again, we shall say to you
Thank you.

Love love for you...

Masaki: Hey. We've been looking at the same sceneries all these years.
Nino: Um. We five together.
Sho: Um. Really.
Leader: 20 years.
Jun: We've been together all these years.
Masaki: I want to say ... Thank you.
Jun: Same here. Thank you.
Nino: Thank you.
Sho: Thank you.
Leader: Thank you.

Most of the content seems to be a conversation between Arashi members. They say thanks to each other...and remember the long journey together... and then the part to the fans "5 and you by 20"
"Cry in our earnest, laugh in our earnest
Think in our earnest, live in our earnest
So we stand here" defenelly they are talking about members...
"Though there have been miserable things and regretful things, but
We are always 5 together
keeping looking at tomorrow."

Thanks for your interpretation... is a exquisit point of view. With great quality as always.. I been waiting for your translation. Thank a lot dear !
A question: (in DVD or CD booklet) Sakurai and Ninomiya takes the credit for the rap and lyrics? I'm asking bc they said "we" write rap and lyrics and I´m a little curious if they wrote on the booklet.. Bye Bye! and love, love for you!

it's indeed different from the two versions I saw before!
Maybe the song is both: for them and for us at the same time.
thank you for this beautiful work!

Beautifully translated, thanks! For me, the song is mostly from Arashi to Arashi, if we consider what they were enduring by the time the song was written then it's mainly a recap of what they have been through this 20 years and also, a way to reaffirm their bond. It´s not as if they are not grateful to fans because they have a couple of lines for us but if 5x10 was a thankful songs to fans, 5x20 is a thankful song to the members.
