Surprised ARASHI is not the last artiste to perform from the White team , same thing happened to them on Fri's MUSIC STATION Ultra SUPER LIVE 2020 too

I guess if not for This is ARASHI LIVE online streamed event happening on the same day as Kouhaku , then they most definitely would be the last from the White team to perform

Arashi had to cancel planned performances in the United States due to COVID-19

In just a few short days Japan’s national boy group Arashi will be suspending all of their activities until further notice. The group is currently making the rounds appearing on countless television shows, and holding interviews with various publications for the last time until the foreseeable future.

During an interview with Daily, Arashi shared some insight for plans of their oversea expansion that unfortunately had to be cancelled due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Arashi had a very special performance planned for the United States but those plans ultimately had to be completely scrapped.

Previously, Arashi has held a concert in Hawaii, but it’s assumed that this performance would have taken place in either New York or Los Angeles. Details weren’t given on whether this was supposed to be a full concert, or if it was to happen in multiple states, but Arashi member Matsumoto Jun revealed that this was always a dream for Johnny’s former president Johnny Kitagawa.

While growing up in the U.S Kitagawa was enamoured with their entertainment industry, and wanted to bring that to Japan. This served as one of the primary inspirations for creating Johnny’s Entertainment.

In the MV for Arashi’s 2019 single “Turning Up” they sing in front of the famed Los Angeles arena “The Forum”. At the time the group stated that they hope to capture the “American dream”, and in 2020 challenge themselves to make it a reality.

Despite the boys having to abandon their plans, Matsumoto and Aiba Masaki revealed that never was a consideration to postpone their plans for going on hiatus. They had spent years finally deciding the 2020 date, and never wavered on it.

Arashi is currently preparing for their final concert before their hiatus, “This is ARASHI LIVE 2020”

Not really surprised & I also will not be surprised if they would have done an Asian tour this year too as the last time they did that was 2007

Just like E-girls who're disbanding year end , I also thought both groups might postpone plans in going hiatus and/or disbanding but alas no :s

I read somewhere Ohno did thought of leaving back in 2009 as he felt so burnt out when ARASHI was in the midst of having a 2nd surge in popularity so this's something that have been long in the making
