Arafes ƪ(^o^)ʃ

Even I've made a report picture in my tumblr, I think, I don't explain it more about Arafes it self. Maybe it's too late to make post or report toward that event, but i just got some videos and photos related that concert. For you guys who didn't know about what arafes is, i'll give you little information about it, hope you enjoy it then :))

"Arafes" meaning "Arashi's Festival", it is the theme for this and next year's concerts. Then the concert repertoire was centered around a list of songs which has voted by fans on Johnny's official homepage. This was the first time that fans requests are incorporated into the concert and the idea came from Arashi member themselves.

The concert itself was held at the National Olympic Stadium in Tokyo on September 20th and 21st. Arashi has held its concertat that place for the last 5 years since 2008. It has confirmed that the 2012 concert will also be held at the venue before it is closed for a large-scale renovation in preparation for a bid to host the 2020 summer Olimpic.

Concert of Johnny's Jimusho usually feature large numbers of back up dancers from Johnny's Jr , but it's revealed that this concert will have just the five Arashi members performing for the audience. Aiba Masaki as a member of Arashi stated in tokyohive.com that Arashi want to create a live stage that's completely different than before. So, because i can't attend to their concert, I just want to share the pictures and videos toward to their concert :)). Oy, all the videos and photos I taken from Arashi's (http://www.facebook.com/arashii5) and Matsumoto Jun's page (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Matsumoto-Jun/183192051739952?fref=ts).

Below is the pictures of Arafes on the first day :))
