That day was 3 November 2019 when ARASHI decided to do a proper Youtube livestreaming \/ press conference which became the #1 Top Livestream and Premiere Moment of the year in Japan. During the presscon they talked about the opening of ARASHI official SNS (social networking services) which includes Twitter, Instagram, Youtube, Tiktok and Weibo. They also mentioned that their songs will be available for online streaming services such as Apple Music, Spotify, etc.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

However, the most unforgettable moment was when they announced that they will be doing another Arashi JET STORM after 13 years and the first destination that Sho mentioned was “Jakarta”. I didn’t really hear what Sho said after that because my hands were shaking and I was in tears. I thought I heard it wrong so I just messaged my other Arashian friends in our Line Group. All of us were in shock. It’s unheard of. Who would’ve thought ARASHI would choose Jakarta??!!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

After we all overcame our shock, we started planning. We only have 1 week before they arrived in Jakarta. Everything had to be done fast.<\/p>\n

Contacted by Event Organiser<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

In the midst of chaos, suddenly someone from the event organiser contacted us. She asked us for ideas and feedback on how everything should be, such as how to choose fans who can come into the presscon room. We told them about balloting as the most feasible option because it is definitely fair. Every fans will have the same opportunity. Also, as Johnny’s fans, we’re so used to this kind of system.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We really thought everything would run smoothly because we know the organiser. At least we know where our friends should be when ARASHI arrived….or so we thought. Turns out, it was such a waste of time. Collaborating with the organiser was a disaster. More about it later (especially after we found out more facts after the event).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Even the night before, when we asked where should the fans round up, the organiser would just say “just somewhere near around the hotel”. Seriously, do they not know how many Arashian in Indonesia? Some people come to Jakarta just for this. We have people contacted us and asking about this. Of course we don’t want our friends to be stranded randomly somewhere on the street. We just need them to arrange a proper place so that our friends can gather.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Nope. They just don’t care.<\/p>\n

Contacted by a Japanese TV Channel (TBS)<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Out of the blue, a Japanese TV channel emailed us and asked if we can do an interview via Skype. They asked if we can have about 10 people to gather for the interview but we ended up with about 20.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Next time I’ll talk more about it.<\/p>\n
