ciirceeIt's Arashi Day!
Eleven years ago today, five kids from Japan made a nerve-wracking debut aboard a cruise ship near the big island of Hawaii. They didn't know where they were going to go or just how they were going to get there, but they went out every day and did their best--despite doubts and fears and tiredness and injury and illness and heartbreak--and they did it by being themselves.
I could say a lot about where they are today--two Asian tours, three years at Kokuritsu, twice hosting 24hr TV, Kohaku uta Gassen, 20 consecutive number one singles, top two singles of the year, top three spots on sales charts--but mostly where they are today is together. And they're in my heart.
Arashi, I love you. I wish you nothing but happiness and joy in the coming year.
Oh? And this?
Yeah. Never change, kids.
