2020.04.11 ARASHI's Twitter Post - untitled concert on Youtube from 時間がない on Vimeo.

This is on the Youtube video's description box:

"This is from the concert tour ARASHI held from November 2017 to January 2018.
It was the 9th of its kind undertaken over 6 consecutive years, with this one in particular boasting
18 shows across 5 dome-class venues with a total of 855,000 attendees.
It amazed fans both with the single-panel 2083-inch modular MEGA LED vision screen,
as well as the various unit songs the members hadn’t done in a while,
and also the 10 minute suite “Song for you.”
With the theme of “untitled” the spectacle served to showcase ARASHI’s continuing evolution through intense staging and phenomenal performances.
This video will only be live for a limited time, so definitely enjoy it while you can!"

What amazed me from this concert other than the songs and the screen display is the way they use the lighting + fans' penlights.

So beautiful. I can't stop looking at them.

To be honest, I've only attended a couple of rock and folk concerts before, so I'm not familiar to pop/dance concert. The usual concert visual for me was HUGE speakers, amps, pedals, some unknown music instruments (usually synths), and headbanging fans. Or minimalist acoustic instruments with acapella back singers.

In conclusion, this concert feels like a theatrical show for me. Definitely not a disappointment.

Now I know, visuals are important for a concert, too. They help building the mood of the concert and thus bringing new experiences of attending a concert. My image of "Sugar" will always be those white/gold costumes with blinding light stage. (Edit: now that I've seen the concert photos, it's white/brown 🤭).

Thank you, ARASHI!

AH! I just saw IG story:

2020.04.11 ARASHI Instagram Story from 時間がない on Vimeo.

Aww, Jun, I know internet can be a scary place sometimes, I'm sorry for that. I'm glad the reception for the upload is great.

Arashi posted the official English sub of Wash Your Hands dance on Twitter, Tik Tok, and IG story (I think..)

It's so cute. Although not so accurate, it doesn't really deviate from the true meaning.

That's the post.

First, I bought bluetooth mouse! Finally. Now, I can "work".

Right, to the spoilers. I watched Voyage ep 5 and 6 which premiered on March 31, 2020.

There's making of FC message about their hiatus. Ohno-san was so nervous.

Backstage images during their greetings.

Aiba-chan, I love you so much. His smile while listening to Ohno's greetings.

Ohno-san during Sho's greetings.

Sho's story about making the 5x20 lyrics:

Ohno's concern of concert's atmosphere after hiatus announcement:

Those fans who made him trauma of uchiwas, take your responsibilities! How dare you T.T

Ohno-san's asking his Sho-chan for advise about his concert greetings after the hiatus announcement.

He actually said "Nii-san no kotoba de ii to omou yo"
My Yama heart's getting attacked.

Ohno-san, I'm a fan.

One thing for sure, I'll buy 5x20 concert DVD. It's hard listening to all the pre production talks on Voyage since I know nothing about this tour, so I found it boring. I'll get back to them after watching the concert.

That's it. Have a hot Aiba screenshot.

They performed 3 songs: season, A・RA・SHI , and Happiness.

We got Yama, too! OMG!!

Love this shot. The other 4 are facing towards their leader.

THE leader.

There's also Arashi's version of Wash Your Hands song.

So cute!

And because I need it in mp3 version, I converted it into one. Although I didn't cut any of the conversations bcs they overlap with the intro and outro.

Last but not least, they showed us how to properly wash our hands. What an idol group.
