Hours ago, Arashi ended their 26 and half year career with the final concert of their farewell tour, “ARASHI LIVE TOUR 2026 ‘We are ARASHI’.” The concert was livestreamed to fans worldwide.
The concert opened with their 2010 single “Love Rainbow”, continuing for 33 songs in total. The concert ended with Arashi’s final song to ever be released, “Five.”
Arashi’s final concert was full of emotion and feelings of thankfulness.
An interesting thing that was noted during the concert was that Kazunari Ninomiya kept referring to “Johnnys'”, even though the company has cut all ties to Johnny Kitagawa’s name and image in light of the 2023 sexual abuse scandal, which resulted in the company rebranding as STARTO ENTERTAINMENT.
There has long been speculation that Kazunari left STARTO due to the rebranding, with him being an alleged Johnny loyalist. It appears with tonight’s concert, he confirmed these accusations.
Arashi posted a photo montage of tonight’s concert on Twitter, and thanked fans one final time. Check it out here!
