MORE Oct 2009 - The Scenery as Seen by Arashi - Conclusion (1/2)

Please allow me a few lines of fangirling before going to my favorite interview out of all the interviews that I've ever translated.

First of all, I LOVED this interview. The interviewer was able to succinctly and poignantly express what makes Arashi tick, with interesting snippets in between. Granted, it's mostly members talk, but unlike other talks which I've seen so far, it's rather serious and filled with memorable quotes by each of the members. The author's conclusion to the interview ties in the unintended symbolism of the photoshoot with the journey Arashi has embarked on so far.

Okay, this is part 2 of the amazing interview. The last line is filled with absolute win. Edited to add: The author of this interview is Yoshi Rei, who also interviewed Sho, Riida and Jun. I'm pretty sure Yoshi Rei is an Arashi fan.
