Thank you very much for the translation

and Congratulation!! to Arashi's new single. I really like these two songs too and their PVs of these two are really nice. Their dance move in Crazy Moon is really good and in Ashita no Kioku, the scene is really nice too. I really like the part where they put all the photos together and create a image of a tree. That was reall nice. ^^

Thanks again for sharing the info and the translation :D
