this post is dedicated to my biggest idol of all time, Arashi..
It's been 10 years since you guys debuted. And it's been a long wonderful journey, filled with lots of struggles, until you guys could reach such an overwhelming popularity..
But you guys remains unchanged, still act like you guys are not the top celebrities.. And still remains as dorky as ever.. but, that's what make you guys as you are..
Maybe you do not realize that with your honesty, dumbness, and awesomeness, lots of people feel entertained and brighten up their gloom days.. Bringing back the smile back to their face.. I am one of them.. Amazed by your songs and "dorky-ness", bringing back smile to my face...
And so, I would like to congratulate you guys for your long struggle to be as famous as you guys right now..
and also I would like to say a big THANKS for your entertainment during my down times.. :D
I would like to end this post with your latest song, 5x10, symbolizes 10 years of five of you journeys... A beautiful song that I will always remember..
5x10deatte suunenare wa guuzen na ki mo suru nekizukeba juunensora ni maiagatteyuku fuusenkyasha na gonin de norikomu yureru fune"tada warattokou" "kitto yume ga kanau toko"sou iikikaseteta koro no kako mo ima mune ni matouA few years after we met
It seemed like it had been a coincidence
And before we knew it it'd been ten years
A balloon flies up into the sky
And together as an unsteady five we board a rocking boat
"Just laugh" "Surely this is where dreams will come true"
We hold the time we were told this in our hearts even now
aseri fuan ikidori bakka nanika kanjiteita hibi mo atta nademo anata ga itekureta kara sono egao attakakatta karaaruite koretan da ne yoko ni narabitsukanda tekono sugoshita jikan sae tte nanka neima wa mada tada tereru neThere were days we felt only things like impatience and uncertainty and resentment
But because you were there for us and your smiles were warm
We managed to walk our way here, with hands at our side to hold
Even with this time we've spent together, somehow
Even now we still are just humbled
karadajuu ni kaze wo atsumeta bokurasasaekirenai kanashimi moanata ga ita kara egao ni dekitaWe who collected the wind within ourselvees
And the sadness too great to shoulder
Because you were there, we could turn it into smiles
mujaki ni kanadeta fukyouwaon waironna sekai wo mitekitan daki ga tsukeba itsu no ma ni ka sore gabokura ni nattetaThere was a dissonance innocently played
That got to visit many worlds
And before we knew it, suddenly
It had turned into us
honki de naite (bokutachi kara wa takusan no ai no)honki de waratte (kotoba shika mou hontou ni nani mo nai no)honki de nayande (uta ni nosete saido)honki de ikite (kasaneta bun no dekkai ai wo)ima ga aru mune wo hareruhonki de naite (bokutachi kara wa takusan no ai no)honki de waratte (kotoba shika mou hontou ni nani mo nai no)honki de nayande (uta ni nosete saido)honki de ikite (kasaneta bun no dekkai ai wo)ima ga aru mune wo hareruWe honestly cried (These many words of love from us)
And honestly laughed (Are absolutely all we have)
And honestly worried (So we put once more to song)
And honestly lived (All the love that's grown so great)
And we're proud of where we are now.

ippou ippou chikai michi nado nai narashinjiru michi wo iku shika nai karamoshimo anata ga naitara koko de mata aou yokono aikawarazu no yatsura kara tada ai okurutomo ni nozomu mirai for yousaki no yama wa kaze de koeru toberubokura no iro de atari someruStep by step, If there's no path nearby that you can take
Then your only choice is to walk the path you believe in
And if by some chance you cry then let's meet here again
These unchangeable rascals that will simply send you their love
Together we'll wish for a future for you
Using the wind to cross the mountain ahead, we can fly
And we will paint the place with our colors
hitori bocchi de nozoita sora woanata mo miteiru no kananara utau yo sora ni mukattesou chikara no kagiriBy ourselves we glanced up at this sky
And perhaps you're seeing it too
If you are then face the sky and sing
Yes, with everything you have.

And we're proud of where we are now.
bokura kawashita koe ga kienai no narabachikaeru yo kono ai wo hyakunensaki moegao ga saitemasu you niIf these voices we've shared don't disappear
Then we swear this love forever onwards
And we hope that it makes smiles blossom
zutto zutto kokoro ni arun dadakara koso tsutaetemitain daarigatou"kore kara mo arigatou"It's always always in our hearts
And that's why we want to try to tell you
Thank you
And from now on, thank you
koko ni tatteru bokutachi ga imakagayakeru no wa kimi ga iru karagonin de iru zutto iruThe reason we stand here now shining
Is because you're there
We'll be five, forever here
ima made wo chikara ni kaetekawaranu ai de tsutsumikondaraeien ga hora eien gaboku to kimi dake ni umaretan daWe'll turn everything up till now into our strength
And if it's wrapped in our unchanging love
Eternity, you see, eternity
Was born just for you and I
La La La La
La La La La
La La La La
La La La La
Love Love for you
