The venue was beautiful!! And Arashi is at the top of their game!! The rain just made their performance even hotter XD Please come back to the US!!

Even with the horrible service from the staff/security during 9/20 line up, watching Arashi perform spectacularly made me forget about the troubles. Arashi is truly good at changing moods! I can't believe I flew all the way from Canada just to see them! :) Worth it! I just wished the staff/security were properly trained for these kinds of events.

I have always been a fan of Arashi ever since I first found out about them back in middle school. I'm full Japanese but never lived in Japan so I never imaged that I will ever have the opportunity to attend Arashi's concert my whole life. But the chances came around, and ticketmaster made it happen. The security and staff were horrible, to be honest. Everything was so unorganized, that there was major problem when the gates opened. But putting everything aside, the concert itself was just AMAZING. In no other Arashi concert, you will ever get to be so close to them in distance!! I have their concert DVDs at home and seen them numerous times but really, seeing them LIVE was such an indescribable feeling!! Tears of joy and excitement wouldn't stop overflowing and it became such an important part of my life and memory, that I was able to be part of this wonderful 15th anniversary concert. I just can't wait for this concert DVD to be released! It's such a blessing to have our Governor stating September 19th to officially be "Arashi Day"!! I hope that through this event, more people were able to get to know Arashi and what kind of people they are. It would be great if they can come back for their 20th Anniversary as well!

Rain and all, this concert was fun, fun, fun! Just amazing! Even though it was in a completely-from-scratch setting (aka open field), they still gave us a memorable show with all the bells and whistles--overhead entry by helicopter, moving stages and trolleys to be closer to fans, stages that went to different heights (so we shorter guests could get a great view of their actual faces not just on the monitors), tons of monitors, fireworks, and lights. The energy in the crowd and from them was just amazing. Their camaraderie, showmanship, and sincerity made up for any challenges that were experienced outside the venue before the show started. Although we got drenched during the show, it just made the whole experience even more surreal. Loved the local touches they added with local musicians and performers. If they make it back to Hawaii, you should definitely see them. I will!

Everything was perfect with the concert itself. It was way better than fantastic and what I expected. Best memory ever! The only bad thing was the organization. I thought it was unfair the treatment towards the people who were waiting for hours, but other than that, amazing.

performance was excellent but the physical layout outside the concert area was terrible. There were only 2 portatoilets to accommodate 15,000 fans waiting outside; I waited 40 minutes in line to use the toilet!! Then to get into the concert area, there was a mass of people crowded trying to get in and the crowd filtered into a single line with people shoving and pushing trying to get in one gate. People were yelling to open more gates but still remained calm. We were in line from 4 pm but did not get to our assigned area until 5:30 pm just in time to see the helicopter fly over. How can you ask to upload photos and videos when no cameras were allowed??? I did not sit in my area because it was full and had to find another open area.

Arashi Blast in Hawaii was simply AMAZING. Being a fan in the US can sometimes be hard because you never really get a chance to actually see them live (and also because you can't join the fan club if you're outside of Japan). But it was truly a dream come true to see them perform in that amazing stage and effects (fireworks, fire, water spray, etc.) Even in the pouring rain, it was totally worth the flight from NY to Hawaii just for the weekend. I really hope they come again to Hawaii, if not, to NY. I'm sure more fans would love to come out and support!

It is lifetime memory! The stage is fantastic and it is memorable to see the members so close.

the greatest concert in Hawaii ever!. it was a dream come true for me. been waiting 10 years for them to return where they formed. I hope they come back for another concert or a rgular concert as they do in Japan and throughout Asia.

Too many words yet no words at all to describe it. It still doesn't seem real that I was there! There is nothing to say but a huge THANK YOU to everyone that made this event possible!! Also met some new friends; Arashi is great at bringing people from all over together.

The concert itself was unforgettable. Arashi has such great stage presence. They are extremely talented and it's evident that they work very hard. I went to Saturday's concert and when the rain came, they didn't seem fazed at all! I've admired them for 10 years and hope that they will be able to return again someday to Hawaii. My only concern was getting into the concert. Some of the security personnel were, at times, very rude. While there were fans who were unnecessarily upset, many situations could have been handled in a much more professional manner from both parties. Not only that, but getting into the concert should have been better organized. Seriously. There were no signs stating how to enter the concert, there were no staff updating the crowd on what was going on (only the very front of the line got their share of, "STOP PUSHING! FAMILY OR NOT, ONE AT A TIME" from very intimidating security). Yes, there were 15,000+ people attending this concert, but it shouldn't have been a surprise. There should have been updates for both the English speaking and Japanese speaking crowds throughout the line. I really did not appreciate the bottlenecking like an hourglass so that one person at a time was allowed to pass in order to walk through another line. Very poor organization. I'd rate that portion 2 stars. Arashi, however, completely deserves 5 stars and more. I would definitely go back to see them again. Hopefully ticket prices don't skyrocket as a result of the success of this concert.

The concert was great! But the administration was the poorest.

This concert was so amazing. I'm sad because it's over.

We were fortunate we went on Friday when it did not rain. But I was impressed to hear that Arashi performed like it wasn't even raining on Saturday and the fans were diehard and stood watching and cheering in the rain. Anyway, Friday's show was amazing. Fireworks, pyrotechnics, moving mini and larger stages, sunset songs with a Hawaiian band, the complimentary Arashi lei and foldable chair... I am so glad I got to be part of Arashi's 15th anniversary in the place where it all started, Hawaii. If it wasn't for Arashi, I would not have visited that island. They were amazing! So many costume changes. That was my first time seeing it and I honored to have been a part of history.

Three hours honestly felt like thirty minutes. I never experienced time go by so quick. I was surprised and really glad when the stage had the famous 'moving stage' that most of the Arashi concerts have in Japan. I was able to see the group members unbelievably close! The mini individual stages were great too because the were even closer! Even though it rained, the fireworks and the fire worked like miracles. The songs were the ones I wanted to hear and the volume was perfect! I was afraid that it would be unbearably loud (past experience), but it was in the comfortable level for the ears. Their talk was very fun, and since I knew Japanese I was able to understand all. For those who are not fluent in Japanese will probably have to sit and wait for a few minutes. The one drawback was the line designated for the ticketmaster customers. There was only one row with the fence, so the other six or seven rows of people gradually shifted toward the fence, causing one large blob of people. We lined up from 10am-4pm, and we were in the second row (that didn't have the fence). So when the gates opened, people behind the fence cut in line, so we were not able to go cleanly. It would be nice if there were more fences, like the lines in amusements parks.

The concert was one of the greatest I've ever attended. Arashi was amazing with their choreography, singing and availability to the crowd. The arrival by helicopter was spectacular and set the tone for the evening. The stages moved back and forward, side-to-side and Arashi moved on them all around the venue. The music was great and I enjoyed it to the max. The downside was the lack of organization for getting into the concert and the lack of control when it came to seating. For some unknown reason they did not have line controls to get into the concert and collapsed what must have been 10 or twelve different lines into one large mob. So for people who arrived early and waited patiently inline they were now reduced to being members of the mob and were forced to be slowly funneled into the corrals. There were no marked seats in the different section so if you were in early you had your pick but if you were controlled by the mod then you came in late and had little in the way of choice for seating. Having a seat number was meaningless.

We enjoyed so much!! Arashi is great !! We love them very much because of their professional spirits. Even it started to rain they kept great performance. Amazing !!! We want to see them again in US!!!!

The event is really great! It was worth attending. More staffs would be better.

Three days have gone by, but I am still mesmerized by the magical performance by Arashi! I have been to their "brother-band's" performances numerous times in Tokyo, but this was simply the best~!! No doubt! I still feel like I am in a trance... on their magic spell! My girlfriend and I were extremely happy and beyond satisfaction as far as Arashi and their live concert are concerned. We felt privileged to be there as the band celebrated their 15th... at the place of their "birth" Hawai`i! We would definitely like to be their when they celebrate their 20th. Allow me to say though, Security was not adequate. We were among the fortunate ones to be able to get into the venue with a reasonable amount of wait time (which we were well prepared for). We felt sorry for the people that had been waiting from the morning but was not allowed entry until right before the show.
