5. Dear 嵐， My name is Nicole Chen，15 years old and living in California。I found out about you guys when my uncle took me to Japan in August 2008 and I saw your Truth PV on CDTV／MusicStation。I was amazed by your dancing and got hooked, plus the different and unique personalities that make 嵐，嵐。 =w= I guess you can say that 嵐 has changed my life。I hope that someday, you guys will be able to hold concerts in America，likeLA。I will look forward to that day :D 嵐，please continue to work hard and do your best!

From, Nicole Ohno-san: You seem like such a great guy. Your singing voice is soothing and I love listening to it. Work hard leader!!

It makes me very happy and proud to be a 6th member of Arashi. Congratulations in reaching your tenth year! I wish you more power! I will always and forever will be support Arashi!

18. Arashi CONGRATULATIONS!! ON YOUR10th ANNIVERSARY!! In reality, in all of 2007, I wanted to die. Then I found Arashi, and a reason to live. After a year of fake smiles and crying, laughing and goofing around became natural for me. Thank you so much! Wow, ten years? That’s amazing. Arashi is truly my favorite band. I love Arashi no Shukudai-kun! I can’t say I have a favorite member, but there are things about the members that I love. I love how Ohno is spacing out all the time, I love that I can say Nino and I share a common ground, the love of video games. I’m quite sure I could beat you, Nino, if we had a competition! I love that MatsuJun has a very good sense of style, in America we would call him a “fashionista”. Aiba, I love your childishness, how you always seem to take life so freely and happily. And finally, Sakurai Sho, I love how you are always seen as someone who will bring Arashi’s points down on Vs. Arashi, even though you’re smart and strong. Arashi is my favorite band because you guys are silly, and you are just LOVE.

20. 私のいちばん。。。 嵐のみんなさんです！！ 櫻井 翔 – お母さん！News ZERO~ You’re Captain Failboat! The one people always go to and make fun of. But you do your job well. Every time you always take it like a champ. I always laugh when Nino-San picks on you! 十年 おめでとうございます！！！ 松本 潤 – The one I always see in dramas. Each new drama or movie you are in, you bring in a new you! Each time, you make me laugh, you make me cry, you make me feel for you with different emotions. Your teasing of the other members is <3 too! 相葉 雅紀 – Every other word that comes out of your mouth is either thoughtless and rude or pervert words of wisdom~ But you know what! Everyone loves you for that! Your strange experiments and charismatic personality is always hard to dislike! 二宮 和也 – It’s Magic! Your magic trips will surprise and create smiles everywhere around you! Game nerd, money saver, and prankster of Arashi. Arashi wouldn’t be the same without you there. You complete them that no one else can. One of your biggest fans! Benny Wu カリフォニアより。 From California. 大野 智– The riida! Your artwork is amazing, your dance steps are almost flawless, and your songs always make me come back for more. You did your very best ‘leading’ Arashi and things wouldn’t have turned out so well if you didn’t stay. You are my favorite, the special lover of all foods, and the leader of Arashi.
21. Happy10thAnniversary Arashi!!! Arashi- Congratulations on your 10th year!! I hope that this is the best year for you and that all of your hopes and dreams in Arashi come true!!

27. Dear Arashi, Congratulations on your 10 year anniversary! You have all made such an impact on my life and I can't thank you enough for that. Sho - Thank you for showing me that even at 27, it's still okay to not act your age all the time. You've inspired me to follow what I believe I should be doing in my life, regardless of what my college diploma says. Jun - Thank you for showing me that although there may be chaos all around you, that doesn't mean that you always have to join the chaos. It's okay to be the one that brings sanity to the situation. Nino - Thank you for showing me that you don't have to be a kid to love video games and magic tricks. And that having a sarcastic sense of humor isn't always a bad thing. Ohno - Thank you for being you. Although you may not always say things in interviews and on your shows, your singing and dancing shine through during concerts and in PVs. Aiba - Thank you for always making me smile and laugh and for showing me that sometimes I should think outside the box and ask questions. Curiosity is a good thing in life. Please don't ever change. As a group, your music has brought together people from all over the globe. I've met people, not only online but in my own hometown, that I might never have gotten to be friends with if it wasn't for your music. I've found a piece of myself that I thought I had lost a long time ago when I decided I needed to be a "grown up" and will always thank you for showing me that being an adult doesn't mean having to forget the things that you love. Please continue making amazing music and we will always support you no matter what the future brings. You've influenced so many of our lives and this project is just a small way for us to thank you for all the happiness you've given us. I hope that someday we will get the opportunity to see you perform live in America and that your experience here will be a wonderful one. Happy 10 year anniversary and many wishes for many many more years to come. Love and Aloha, Jeni (from Hilo, Hawaii) …Me… Arashi in Easter Egg form. :)
28. 十周年おめでとう！ 嵐コンサート！ 私にとって夏は：すいか、日焼け、そして でも、チケットをゲットすることはすごく難しいんで、来年も AAA をやってください！けど、Arashi Around Asia じゃなくて Arashi Around America だよ！ 絶対きてね！ 小籠包がロスアンゼルスでも食べられる！ 嵐に会えてよかった :0) 以上、Julia Young, Californiaでした。

32. じゅん = ♥♥♥♥♥ Congratulations on making it to 10 years! I am so glad that I was introduced to your music. You guys are amazing in just about everything you do! I am so impressed with the attitude you have! You all have made it this far, and you have a wonderful bond together. I love that I can always watch your shows, knowing that your brilliant smiles will brighten my day and make me smile regardless of the day I have had! I have always wanted to visit Japan, but after being introduced to your group, I want to go even more. I’m very sad I can’t make it to your 10th anniversary concert. I am so upset I can’t get there – I have this feeling it will be HUGE! I do hope, one day, to make it to a concert. So keep rocking hard and I’ll be there someday! P.S. You have many fans in America waiting for you! <3 From:: Krista :: ｸﾘｽﾀ Murfreesboro Tennessee, USA
33. Hi Arashi and Aiba’s mom! You are the best band ever! All of your music is great! Even your dance moves are amazing! In my spare time, I study Japanese so that one day I will be able to understand your beautiful lyrics. Last year, I went to Japan, but you weren’t playing any shows. My parents won’t send me to Japan again, so I was hoping you could play a show here in America. Preferably in Seattle during the summer or a weekend. The bird is my pet, I named him Crazy Moon after your song. My bird likes to listen to your music. Keep being an amazing band! You are all amazing! Sincerely, Your fan, Ruthie Winkler from Spokane, WA

38. 私の嵐 カリフォニアより In the middle of the night, I was woken by a strong storm, one also known as an Arashi. It was one I have known for years, but only now did I stop and feel the force of its passion. It was stronger than I had thought it would have been. It filled me up with the sweetest of all music. The window has been burst open and I am completely drenched. And now the storm is diligent. I am now surrounded; it is enveloping me with a spirit that remains too vivacious. I can’t help my self but think this is nothing more than an overdone wonderful fairy-tale dream. I find myself asking questions, and my answers are incomplete, but nevertheless vivacious. Much of what I am looking for lies in front of me, obvious, waiting in that gentle music. Despite my ignorance, my cause is not lost. There is still time. What an amazing feeling, passion. I had a realization: if I could feel such strong feelings, then this is possibly no dream. I look about to gather my surroundings. I realize I am familiar with Arashi. I met it long ago, the memory flees. It never became, it has always been diligent. This valiant storm, this Arashi, has awoken my passion with its own. The music of my life has begun its diligent strain. And we will forever continue to live in this vivacious dream. And yet I know the truth, it stands there before me, obvious, an oblivious unending dream. Before my senses catch it, I am swept away into the midst of this storm, this great Arashi. Roaring in my ears, I am captivated by all that is heard, all of these sounds are vivacious. Perhaps you can feel it, too, this feeling that fills me. It is so strong, it is only called passion. My heart is ready to burst, I am excited. Is it possible a storm can be diligent? But it is true! So true it makes me feel joy. Can you hear it? It is wonderful dancing music. I realize another thing that is new. I have changed too. Somehow I have become diligent. I have come to enjoy these new feelings because they are so strong and amazingly vivacious. I want to feel this way, and dance in the wind and rain that are a part of loving this Arashi. I laugh as my body stiffly moves through the rain. It begins to loosen up thanks to the music. My feet are firmly on the ground, though my soul is flying through the tempest, as if in a wild dream. Elation no longer surprises me; I have learned that it is a feeling akin to passion. 嵐のみんなさんへ 十年おめでとうございます！この詩は英語ですけど、日本語にもいみがいっぱいです。詩は日本語に書いていませんでしたから,本当にすみませんでした。時間がありなかったから、英語だけです。ちなみに、この詩はあなたたちのファンの気持ちが入りたかったですけど、このままでじゅうぶんではありません。この気持ちをわかってください。そして、みんなさんわアメリカにきてください！まってるよ～ これからずっと嵐のファン。 バズケエズ アストリッド It started so long ago, and I can only hope it will never end. Ten years have left my sweet music. What, ten years? Insane, a lie! How can that be true? Have I not just begun this insatiable dream? No lies, only truths. This storm rages before me. In all this time it has become this diligent. And I feel pride, as if it were mine, this tempest that belongs to none but moves for all, Arashi. I am now caught up, but I stay so far behind. These winds, new to me, have left plenty of passion. I am not alone. Others are closer to the eye. They understand why it is so vivacious. And that is what this is. I can use no other word, despite all of the synonyms, just passion. Swaying, I am lifted to the sky. I now have something for which I want to be diligent. I am smiling so wide, even though I know that someday I may have to wake from this dancing dream. I can feel a slight descend, a sinking. I do not want to lose all this that feels so vivacious. But I remember that if anything, I will always have this sweet beautiful sound called music. I feel release, I am safe. I am home. I have always been. I can see now what makes Arashi. From California

41. 無限の嵐 To everybody in Arashi, Arashi has saved my life and stopped my tears more times than I can count. You are an irreplaceable piece of my heart, and nothing will ever change that. Without Arashi, I would not be who I am today. You have also helped me improve greatly with my music. An example is the piano version of Koe in the background, which I play. Congratulations on ten years of being together! When I see your bond, my day instantly brightens. To me, you have already achieved your dream of becoming the top. You really have created a storm throughout the world. I will always be supporting you, no matter what! America patiently waits for your visit! ^.^ From, Cynthia Sun (a resident of California)
