[trans] Idol wo sagase! - Ending their era by their own hands, therein lies Arashi's greatness

[acidae.livejournal.com]

"Idol wo sagase!" is a regular column in Aera that is written by Mitz Mangrove, who became famous for his cross-dressing and flamboyance on variety shows but is actually a Keio graduate (in political science within the law department!) and a very intelligent man. You may also know of him as the Sho fanboy who loves his naked anan spread! In the latest article he decided to talk about Arashi, which I thought was very interesting so I decided to translate it especially given how he has worked with them before.

Enjoy, and feel free to share your thoughts!


When you try to imagine what the future holds for these "eternal idols" and "lifelong idols"...
