ABOUT HIATUS

I found about this just on lunch, but I was on my Aunt home so I can't say nothing about this before.

I'm not shocked because they have already prepared the fans in different ways first of all in Arashi NHK documentary. I'm a bit sad because of course I'm a fan. They are people who have emotions and life sometimes expectations have their own weight on us.

I was less cautious in my beginning as fan, so when I saw Ochan crying in Hawaii I thought maybe he needs a bit of rest and maybe the end of Arashi is near. And many other fans in very bad manners told me this will be impossible and I was telling lies. But when Ohno ended his radio show of 12 years, I was more cautious this time and only pointed it.

For Ohno fans I think is devastating. He have my favourite voice in Arashi and one of my favourites in JE. His dance is wonderful and is crown as the kings of dance of the whole JE.

I think they have to do the things they want, is their lives after all.

I don't know why the management thought this would be a better occasion since the applications didn't finished. For me is too early is we are talking on the beginning of the hiatus. In the other hand after heard the time he wanted to quit and all the time they have to hide this decision made me think maybe they have to announce it early and let Ohno begin with his rest time soon. And sometimes I think maybe the agency makes some marketing about this.

I don't want to mix translations with my hopes. just saying some points...

🐟They would be on hiatus on 31 december 2020 just 703 days or a year and 11 months.

🐟 From that dates onwards they won't have groups activities. i.e. ANS, VSA, music station, kohaku or other single or album as Arashi.

🐟 Ohno would live his life as a general person from the 31-12-20. So, he won't do any entertainment activity. I.e. guest appearance in any show.

🐟 Aiba said he would try his best in his solo activities, maybe the others members try to pursue solo activities too. (is highly unlikely they would do any appearance of other member show like jun was guest in yakai.)

🐟 Jun also said he want to rest a little bit and challenge himself with things he never try. He maybe have some projects to do but seems he would slow down.  The other two didn't make any reference to the time in hiatus.

🐟 The end of hiatus isn't decided yet.

🐟 The decision to quit start growing around Blast in Hawaii

🐟 Ohno wanted to quit in june 2017. In february 2018 the group communicated the agency he would quit and Arashi future as group. The agency have many meetings and offered Ohno an hiatus. They agreed on the hiatus and made the proper arrangements with the agency in june 2018.

🐟 Although is a discrepancy between Nino or Aiba way to tell the story I would credit Ohno. He start talking one on one with Arashi members in june 2017 and heard their thoughts for his decisions.  Then, gathered all in the hotel room in Osaka (for the wakuwaku) and told them the conclusions of all the individuals meetings on 16th June just minutes before Nino’s birthday.

🐟 They NEVER say they won’t disband after the hiatus. They said they have to have time to think.

🐟 Ohno NEVER say he will back for sure. He will find his true self and then start thinking in the future as idol and Arashi member.

🐟 They begin with the hiatus because they don’t want to perform as 4 person arashi.

Of course I will continue to support them as I supported many other bands inclusive the other disbanded as SMAP. I want Ohno to think the best for him. I want to him to take care of his life, his family, his body and even his soul.
Later I will continue to comment on this situation of all the things that I am remembering but before. First of all I will post all the things that I had in the drafts even if they are incomplete ... surely I will complete them later.
