[Breaking] Arafes 2020 will be streamed online! Details will be released at a later date!

Arashi: This is Arashi!
Well, today! Today... what day is it?
Today? Well today is the day when Arashi was formed!
Congrats!
I see! Today's the day when we held that press conference in Hawaii!
Aloha!
On our anniversary, we've some news that would make you happy!

Matsumoto-san, do us the honors!
Firstly, "Arafes 2020 at the National Stadium", which was postponed. In order to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and ensure the safety of the staff, the show will be held without an audience and streamed online.

It's highly regrettable for us that we can't see you in person, but on the other hand, all the FC members will be able to view the show in the same environment. We're in the midst of rehearsals, so we hope to create enjoyable memories for everyone while ensuring their safety.

We'll announce the streaming dates and times at a later date!
Everyone voted, so I'm sure they're curious about the results!
I'm sure they want to know!
I bet!
It's our first show at the new National Stadium, so I'm sure you're looking forward to how it turns out!

To think that we'll do *this* or *that*! We're in the thick of it!
It would be great if you would excitedly look forward to it. Ninomiya-san, For a concert, I'm hoping to have some merchandise.
I'm sure you do.
Me too!
We intended to hold Arafes in May, so -->

We're prepared! Arafes 2020 goods will be on sale from 16 Sep (Wed)! Check the Johnny's Online Store for more details!
We intended to hold the show in May, so we've forgotten the goods lineup!
Yeah, we have.
We shot the photos ages ago!
We shot them at Kokuritsu, right?

We did! For the pamphlet!
It's really warmed up!
I'm really excited for what's in store! And now, we have something to share. Some of you might be wondering what it's all about, so let us explain it. Arashi's CM sponsors have come together for this exciting project!

Aiba-san?
You mustn't mess up here!
(nervous laugh) That's true! This isn't just about us! Allow me to convey it properly! The sponsors corporations that Arashi is indebted to, together with us...
Stand back a little.
Huh?
You're getting out of frame.

You're moving closer to the camera.
My feelings are going ahead of me here.We've started a new project with 13 companies which endorse us! It's called the "Hello New Dream Project"! Especially in times like these where it might be hard to see the future, -->

..we want to support dreamers and encourage people who have a dream. We want to create an opportunity for people to think about their dreams. Based on those feelings, we've started this project. To bring your dream closer to you, we've created content such as Arashi singing-->

...about your dream by inserting it into the lyrics of "A.RA.SHI". We have also prepared products with the "Hello New Dream. Project" wrapping, and placed newspaper and outdoor advertisements! Please check out the details on the "Hello New Dream. Project" website!

Wonderful!
That was a long one!
Yeah it was!
"It was long" just sounds wrong! You want to convey the message, right?
Oh yes, I did! Did you get the message?
That's right. In Tokyo, it's Shibuya 109, and we have ads in Fukuoka, Osaka, Nagoya.

The contents which Aiba-kun mentioned was interesting!
"A. NA.TA for DREAM", right? We tried it out too. It was fun, wasn't it?
Yeah it was.
We hope you participate in it. And we have one more thing! Ohno-san! We think you'll be happy with the news!

We'll be selling our 17th original album, since Untitled!
(nudges Ohno) You mean "releasing" our album, right? We are selling it though.
It's better if you say it like an artiste, say that you're releasing an album.
Otherwise you'd be a guy at the music store.

We're releasing our 17th original album!
Thank you very much!
I'm curious, what's the title?
(points at, in English) "This is ARASHI"!
Feel the Arashi! So... when's it going to be released? When r we selling it?
It'll be released on our CD debut anniversary, 3 Nov!

In parallel with Arafes rehearsals, the album's production is coming along as well. Please look forward to it!
It's been a while since we underwent an album production, hasn't it? Our last release was a compilation album. The recording for it was..
It's been 3 years for us?

That's so cool! You sound like an artiste!
That's true.
It's been 3 years!
Our first album production in 3 years!
It feels like things are finally moving!
We're so busy now! It's been a while since things were this hectic!

(Aiba) was trying to remember the song just now!
Yeah, he was listening to it.
There's quite a lot of contents coming up, so we hope you look forward to it, including the new songs!
We've been releasing digital singles since Turning Up, right? -->

We've heard lots of feedback that people want a physical release.
To hold in their hands.
So it's nice to be able to fulfill that request. It's happy news for us too.
That's a lot of announcements from us. It's been a thing with us recently, information overload.

It's hard to remember it all. We have to repeat it.
We're still coming up with stuff! To the FC members who support us daily, we and the staff are continuously thinking of what we can deliver to you! We'll announce it when it's ready, so please stay tuned!

To our fans who might be forced to live inconvenient lives during this period, together with us, we hope you practice social distancing, wear your masks and wash your hands. I guess you're already doing it. Take good care, and above all else, look out for our new song by Bruno!

So... did you all remember everything we said?
Shall we summarize each item, member by member?
No, we won't!Please watch the video from the beginning!
Okay, please watch it from the beginning, then!
