Arashi's final concert on May 31 at Tokyo Dome will be livestreamed worldwide. Here's everything international fans need to know about tickets, viewing, and what this farewell means.
Storm Labels, the music arm of STARTO ENTERTAINMENT, opened its first official online store on April 1, 2026, with international shipping and support for 5 languages. Over 700 titles from Arashi, SUPER EIGHT, Hey! Say! JUMP and others are available, a shift for overseas fans who previously relied on proxy services.
KAT-TUN surprise-released all 312 songs on streaming platforms on their 20th debut anniversary, March 22, 2026. From 'Real Face' to their final album 'Fantasia,' every single and album is now available worldwide — a major milestone in the former Johnny's (STARTO) streaming revolution.
ARASHI's first new song in 5 years and 5 months, "Five," achieved 3.2 million streams on its release day—the highest first-day record in Oricon history, surpassing BTS. With lyrics echoing their debut single "A・RA・SHI," the track has fans in tears ahead of their farewell 5-dome tour. Here's why Japan's biggest idol group still commands record-breaking devotion.
Arashi leader Ohno Satoshi has announced his departure from STARTO ENTERTAINMENT, effective May 31, 2026 — the date of Arashi's final concert at Tokyo Dome. After 32 years with the agency and years of quiet seclusion in Okinawa, Ohno pledged to "run through it as five" until the very end. He becomes the third member to leave individually, following Ninomiya Kazunari and Matsumoto Jun. Here's what fans are saying and what lies ahead.
15 shows across five domes. About 490,000 fans. A new song called "Five", once a candidate for the group's name. The Kōhaku farewell that never was. And on May 31, 2026, at Tokyo Dome, ARASHI will close their 27-year story with their own hands. What they leave behind, what lives on, and the question they ask every fan. The final part of a 5-part series.
After the hiatus, five men walked separate paths — marriage, fatherhood, a samurai epic, an art-filled island retreat. Then came a company called "ARASHI Inc.," eighteen months of secret talks, and one video on May 6, 2025, where Ohno Satoshi showed his face for the first time in 1,587 days. Part 4 of a 5-part series.
In June 2017, Ohno Satoshi told his four bandmates he wanted to leave. What followed was a year of talks, a 2.37-million-person farewell tour, a pandemic that stole their final year with fans, and one last night on December 31, 2020. Part 3 of a 5-part series on ARASHI's 27-year journey.
Hana Yori Dango changed everything. Annual chart domination, six consecutive years at National Stadium, nine turns hosting Kohaku — ARASHI conquered every peak in Japanese entertainment for eleven golden years. But in 2017, at the very summit, a clock began ticking toward goodbye. Part 2 of a 5-part series.
In 1999, five teenagers were mocked at their debut on a cruise ship off Hawaii. From a 970,000-copy debut single to a career-low 140,000, free ticket giveaways, and 1% TV ratings — this is how ARASHI survived their darkest years. Part 1 of a 5-part series.
Japan's iconic idol group Arashi has announced "Five," their first new song in five years, dropping digitally on March 4, 2026. Named after the unbroken bond of all five members, the farewell single arrives just before their final dome tour "We are ARASHI." Here's how Japanese and international fans are reacting to this emotional milestone.
