[trans] New J-net message from Arashi

[acidae.livejournal.com]

Johnny's net has updated with a brief and vague video message from Arashi. They introduced themselves and state that they have a request for their fans, then directed their fanclub members to check the members-only section where a longer video message can be found.

I've translated the contents of the video for those interested, which you can find behind the cut.
