Arashi Tickets

It was memorable. Their concerts are amazing! Their first US concert!

Wasn't sure what to expect since it was an outdoor concert with a custom-built stage... But it was amazing! The show itself was stunning and ARASHI really went all out, with different aspects that gave all fans some closeness to the group. (+) Production was amazing. Helicopters, moving stage parts, fireworks, lights and much more! Though there were no chairs plainly set up (no assigned seating), folding chairs were provided (that were great souveniers as well) so people could set them selves up in their designated seating area. I think it was well worth it. While the stage was enormous, the multitude of screens (often with lyrics) provided excellent close-up views of the members. I appreciate the effort taken in amount of outfits, dancing, and songs performed in this anniversary concert. (-) Unfortunately it was a rainy weekend, and as the concert was outdoors on the lagoon lawn, everyone watching got drenched. Plus, the ground was mostly dirt so it became a large muddy patch as everyone tried to exit the area. The only other bad aspect of the concert was entering the area -- there were no distinct lines and only one general public entrance, making it difficult to enter. It was pretty chaotic outside but once you got in to the area, ticket reading & purchase was speedy... Plus everyone got a lei with a cute ARASHI logo charm!

Second day @ Hawaii for this wonderful concert - everything was fantastic even we got hit by the pouring rain. It's such an unique and unforgettable experience for me. Thank you for making it happen and bring arashi live concert to US. If there is any other arashi concert(s) held at US in the future, I will definitely go no matter how far it might be (actually I flew all the way from Boston to Hawaii for this concert and only stayed there for the weekends. Totally worth it!) Again, amazing concert! Love it and looking forward to future concerts at US too! f

Concert itself was very exciting and I really enjoyed. However, waiting and entering to the gate for the concert was terrible!!!

How lovely and cool the event was. I remember the opening when the member came from the sky! Even heavy rain during the stage empowered the member and the audience.

I had great time. I wish they can come to Hawaii every year.

We arrived at the venue several hours early. There was a fan club members only area with cardboard cutouts of the members that you could take pictures with. Concert T-shirts and the yacht Arashi debuted on were on display. I was kind of disappointed that they were basically discriminating against foreign fans, but I just told myself that it wasn't Arashi's personal decision. There was a booth set up selling concert goods and bottles of Arashi water. We got in the Ticketmaster line which was about five blocks long and I was surprised at how well we organized ourselves. (The local staff was absolutely no help, but more about that on Day 2...) Ticketmaster had to stand for several hours, but fan club members got their chairs in advance and entered the venue before us... However, the wait wasn't too bad because we met some nice fans from California and chit chatted about our favorite members, songs, dramas etc. At 4:30PM the gates opened and the line moved smoothly and swiftly. We got our tickets and chairs, snuck some pictures with some more cardboard cutouts, and were presented with leis from the members! The concert itself was perfect. I could write pages about it, but I'll leave it at that. Looking forward to the DVD. It took ages to empty the parking lot. We saw many cars drive past with people waving their penlights in the back seat. I guess they were still having their own private concerts. Haha The concert took place on a dirt lot and our shoes were covered in the red, volcanic dirt on Day 1. We thought that was bad, but after the rain on Day 2 they had several centimeters of red mud caked onto the bottom. It was pretty gross, but I'm actually glad I got to experience an Arashi concert in the rain! The only thing I was a little disappointed about was that they didn't sing solos, but I still had the best time of my life! Since they live streamed both days in Japan I suppose it's possible that they recorded both, but I wonder which one they will use for the DVD? Day 1 Pros: The audience was really in sync and energetic. Ohno-kun cried. Cons: I think something was wrong with the mic/speaker settings. Ohno-kun and MatsuJun sounded like chipmunks. I wonder if they can fix this during editing? Nino was ill. I think it would be easy for them to edit this out if they wanted to though.

I've been a fan of Arashi for over 11 years and have waited a long time for them to come back to the USA. I've been to dozens of concerts over the years and I must say, this is the BEST concert I've ever experienced in my life! Fireworks, pyrotechnics, a clear-bottom moving stage so you can see the guys perform from underneath and, of course, the wonderful and talented ARASHI! I was awed and moved by their showmanship and connection to us fans. They are as magical and amazing in person as they are in the DVD concerts. I am very thankful to have been able to see these great guys in concert and I truly hope they come back to the USA again sooner than 15 years! Otherwise, I'll just have to learn Japanese and go see them in Japan! Arashi, Arashi for dream! Much love from a USA California fan!

The show and concert itself was most excellent and one of the most memorable experiences ever. The moving stage and band members going around to give fans in different locations a chance to get close to them were so awesome. Not to mention the visual effects on the stages and the fireworks! Of course their ability to sing and dance live was most impressive. Any issues we had I'd blame Tom Moffatt Productions. This first day of the concert started before all the fans entered the area. There were also unfriendly staff/bouncer walking around threatening to kick us out of the concert simply because we couldn't fit into their drawn seating areas after being let in late.

All Arashi;s members were so great performers. I wish my seat was more closer to the main stage. however, i was so happy to see them in my own eyes! Please make it again ! I will take my family next time.!
