Arashi will be on hiatus in 2021<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n

The saddest phrase for all ARASHIAN in the world. Our dearest group will take a break for a bit. It might be temporary but they still don’t know when they’re coming back. We first heard about this news in 27 January 2019 when they announced it via Johnny’s Family Club<\/a> video message and a press conference. It was heartbreaking for most of us who got their life boost from the boys but at the same time it is understandable.<\/p>\r\n

So, today mark the 100 days before the last day before hiatus (31 December 2020). I am planning to do a one-ARASHI-post-a-day for 100 days. Hopefully I can do this as I can’t seem to be able to stick to my “Quarantine Challenges” during the earlier lock-down situation.<\/del>I will write random thoughts or stories about ARASHI (and me) anytime I miss them.<\/p>\r\n

\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n

Anyway, now let’s talk about how I am since the hiatus announcement.<\/p>\r\n

\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n

To be honest, I was in and out of the fandom since 2011 when I came back to Jakarta and start adulting. I never leave the fandom but I didn’t really watch much of their TV Shows or Dramas. I still went to some of the fan gathering and listen to their older songs but not as much as when I was still a student. Even so, I still went to their 2015 concert in Tokyo tho! (More about this in other post)<\/p>\r\n

\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n

However, since that day in January 2019…I joined the fanclub. Something that I always postponed of doing since 2002 with a lot of excuses. I search on their new songs and start listening to them again, downloaded their TV Shows and Drama again and went for an ARASHI-binge<\/a> session just like the old days.<\/p>\r\n

\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n

The feeling is still the same. They are still the same. Although when I first got introduced to ARASHI, they’re not big. Only a bunch of us are their fans. Now, they are already considered as a J-Pop Legend. Not only as a group but as an individual. Everyone know who they are. Everyone called them by their nickname.<\/p>\r\n

\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n

This reminds me of what my friend said during our talk while preparing for items for ARASHI JETSTORM in Jakarta (more about this in other post as well)…<\/p>\r\n

\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n

\r\n

ARASHI is home. We went away for a while…either for real life matters or other fandom, but we always come back to ARASHI.<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n

\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n

No matter how long you’re away, the fandom and ARASHI will welcome you with open arms. When you’re back, it felt like you’ve never left. It’s familiar. It’s home.<\/p>\r\n
