Here is EVERYTHING I remember from tonight's concert MC... well, the birthday part, anyway. This is all from memory, so please forgive me for anything I may have missed (although I ordered all my brain cells to focus and remember all the details... and I AM a detail-oriented person and I DO pride myself when it comes to my memory). I was sobbing during the whole MC. ;__; <3 I'm so proud to be an Arashic. Happy (early) 30th birthday, Aiba-chan!!
I've typed this part of my con report like I do my radio translations, but I'm only human. I can't always remember who said what, but I did my very best. Still, I hope you all get a feel for what was said and what happened. I am quite confident with Nino's lines, though. *biased* :3
IMPORTANT: IF YOU INTEND ON QUOTING FROM THIS, PLEASEPLEASEPLEASE CREDIT ME. I spent a lot of time recalling everything and typing it out. I won't mind you quoting this on your LJ or tumblr or wherever, but PLEASE CREDIT BY LINKING BACK TO THIS POST. And, this should go without saying, but PLEASE DO NOT REPOST (as in, copy-paste this whole thing). I'm sharing because this was a special MC and I know many international fans wanted a report of this. Thanks for understanding. <3

I'm so thankful I got to share this precious time with Arashi and 50,000+ fans. In my 16 years as a fan (yes, dating back to 1996 when Aiba-chan joined JE ^^; ), I didn't dream of such a day. I'm so proud of the boys... and so damn proud to be their fan. I can't quite express in words all these strong emotions I feel for Arashi. They are so beautiful.
