As always, credit goes to many (mainly) Japanese websites and BBS, too numerous to mention.
Information may NOT be 100% accurate as I am totally dependent on the information supplied by the third party.
I focus more on trying to convey meaning rather than doing direct proper or formal translation - so do not take everything literally when you read my translation. If you want to clarify, feel free to comment and ask - however, I am a little busy at the moment so cannot guarantee speedy reply at all...sorry!

Just wanted to share the MC repo & spread Arashi love as I have been too busy and too inactive (against my will) on vox...so here is my little contribution:

As for the Set List, ArashiNino has already posted it - together with WS news video footage! So I did not bother with it! Thank you, ArashiNino!!!

Sep 6 MC Report

at Centre Stage

Tlak about weather:

Members: Hello! We are Arashi!! So lucky(grateful) it did not rain !
Sho: If it did rain, we could have said Arashi called Arashi (storm) , but if it did rain, it would have been  difficult /hassle (taihen)
Nino: if it rains, do we use the umbrella during MC?
Matujun: no we would not
Nino: do we talk drenched wet?
Aiba: if it rains, we have the Poncho (the raincoat thing included in the concert goods...)
Matujun: Wow! Great advertisement!
Matsujun & Aiba does the hi 5

Talk about Aiba's ripped pants:

Nino: Hey, Aiba-san, your bum was ripped before
Aiba: Don't mention it!

Nino runs away from Aiba, and Aiba chases him

Nino: Audience was watching on the screen!
Matsujun: Let's check...was it this costume?
Aiba: the pastel one
Nino: Its not like the costume is very old or something, you know...

Nino's Back Flip Failure:

Matujun: Nino, you were unlucky today
Nino: Yes I was...please let me explain!! It is complete excuse but listen! well, today, Higashiyama san is here to watch us...I wanted to show him how much I grew (improved) , trying to show off...then I did the backflip - I ended up flipping twice (instead of once/over-rotated)...It was first time I did the back flip on this stage set up...
Matujun:That is true ...I was so shocked /surprised
Aiba: If it was Higashiyama, he would have jumped, going BANG, then Bang! still pose!!
Matujun: You did scare me. I thought "oh no, one dead..."
Sho: so glad he did not injure himself seriously (escaped unscathed)
Nino: well, you cannot say that Aiba got out of his accident unscathed ...

Back to Aiba ripped pants story...:

Aiba: We danced Lucky Man, individually right?

Re-enactment  starts with Matujun, then Shokun,
Membes tell Sho-kun off saying "Lucky man dance is not like that!!"
So Sho kun danced again but again doing funny dancing complete with crazy rapper pose...
Members ignore Sho-kun...LOL

Aiba continues on with his re-enactment, putting his one hand on the floor, and swinging up one of his legs...then backside of his pants RIP.

Aiba: after that, the backside felt very loose ...

He continues dancing, showing how he could not open his legs when dancing after that incident...

Matujun: you could not open your legs...
Sho: well, so then, the audience from around here noticed?
Aiba: I am so sorry...I did not mean it! Believe me!

Sho kun talks without goal in mind ...(aimlessly):

Sho: Its got dark...around Subarashiki sekai...it started to get dark...and the penlights were beautiful
Aiba: is it OK to speak so aimlessly/without goal in mind? By the way, I got so hyped up before the live that I ate curry! Did you know? Once upon a time, Ichiro (famous US major league baseball player from Japan) used to eat Curry before the match!
Nino: once upon a time...he USED to...
Sho: he is still playing!
Nino: the story Aiba heard was an old news...
Ohno: (speaks probably for the first time in MC...LOL) He (aiba) was eating too much...
Aiba: do you think so???
Ohno: there was this much!
Matsujun: For the jinx's sake, you were eating Katsu curry (Katsu means WIN or Success in Japanese - Katsu is also a dish like schnitzel - usually pork - so, Aiba chan was eating curry on rice with pork schnitzel thing on top...)
Aiba: Katsu was very KATAI (hard/chewy)
Matujun:Karai(hot)? oh, Katai? Was it hard?
Aiba: it was hard...but it was yummy!

24hr TV talk:

Matsujun: A lot of donation...the amount of donation was amazing - thank you
Sho: it was 4 years since we did it last time..we got older...in a bad sense...it started at 6.30pm, and at 7.30pm, Aiba chan was already crying! (they say as you get older , people become more impressionable/easy to cry)
Aiba; well...I cannot deny that I was crying...that is true...
Nino: what was interesting and surprising was ...I was reading "Jump" (a comic magazine targeting boys in Japan), and there was a Mail section (where the readers write in), one of the question was complete the sentence..."I would hate 24hr TV where ..." (or something like that) and there was one answer saying "people start crying after just one hour!" LOL
Aiba: we were more involved than 4 years ago, don't you think?
Matsujun: I liked members' sections, too...I was so touched by the dolphin segment (aiba's segment)
Nino: oh, Aiba, you are such a good guy!
Matsujun: yeah, Aiba san is such a good guy!
Aiba: that was so much fun! I was so happy to be able to assist Kosaku-kun's dream to come true!
Nino: I really enjoyed doing Magic trick weather report!
Sho: we did have the weather report segment 4 years ago, too, right?
Matsujun: It was Kakutou (fighting/martial art) weather report...LOL...Today, the weather is fine...(kick!)!!
Nino: (to the audience) who watched magic weather report???
Audience: many respond and raise hands
Aiba: wow! isn't that great!
Nino: wow, I am so happy! How about people who could guess how I did it???
Audience: some people respond by raising hands
Nino: right...drop your hands...
Sho: Oi!
Nino: well, it would not be good if people started talking about how I did that trick...
oh, I almost forgot...who watched 24hr tv (as in , the whole 24 hours, staying up...)???
Audience: Yeeeeeeesssss (many raise hands)
Matsujun: wow...that is amazing...we were on screen...so there is that nervousness...
Aiba: Riida, you nearly fell asleep, ne?
Ohno: No I did NOT (loudl voice...LOL)
Aiba: you were creating (art)
Ohno: yeah, such a surprise...such little time...
Nino&Matujun: that was amazing
Sho: yes, it was...by the way...what is the greatest mystery of all for me is...after the 24hr tv finished, matsujun was asking his manager for a copy of 24hr tv ...are you gonna watch it?
Matsujun: I will...little by little...today, I will watch until this segment...and such...
Nino: he will do it. He is the man!
Matsujun: the other day, I got 27hr tv copy (another Japanese TV program)
Sho: how far into it have you watched...?
Matsujun: 3 hours worth...LOL
Nino: He is the kind of guy who start watching Laputa (Castle in the Sky - animation movie) at 3 in the morning all of sudden...
Matsujun: well...suddenly I feel like watching it...
Nino: at 3 in the morning???
Sho: I too sometimes feel like that...but usually people would choose to sleep...
Matsujun: well...there is something about Ghibli (Japanese animation studio/production company who made Laputa) ...so the experiment segment in 24hr tv played Totoro(my neighbour Totoro - another Ghibli animation movie) theme song, I felt so satisfied...

as they walk back to the main stage from centre stage...
Sho: August was such a rich/busy month...Nino will start his new drama in autum, too
Nino: it will start on 17th Oct. It is my mother's birthday
Aiba: how old will your mother be?
nino: well, I would rather talk about the TV drama...my mother will get angry if I reveal her age...
Aiba: you look so much like your mother
Nino: we look alike
Sho: (Nino's drama) starts after Ohno-kun's Maou...
Ohno: ah,its Maou day today (as in every Fridays Maou airs and it was Friday)
Matsujun: what a pity...the fans here will not be able to watch it (since the concert was not meant to finish until 9pm and many would take long to get home)
Ohno: Oh, everyone please go home now (to watch Maou)
Sho: Oi! Don't be so rude!!! they have come from far to watch us!
Ohno: I know...so please everyone go home by 10pm (starting time of Maou drama)
Nino: its OK...you just have to do Maou real time here...
Ohno: (ignores Nino) ah...Nino starts his drama after Maou finishes...its like passing a baton...
Nino: we already said that...

About Beijing:

Nino: we got few medals, didnt we? How many did you get, Sho-kun?
Sho: what??? I ...did not get any...
Nino: what was most exciting at Beijing?
Sho: I was most excited to watch Bolt run 200m
Nino: not 100m?
Sho: 100m was too easy for him...he was like this at the end! (sho did an impersonation of Bolt)
Nino: it was as if to say "see you next weeeek!" (good bye~)
Matsujun: why did you do the impersonation of Bold when we did the introduction of the members before...?
Sho:..please mention that...I cannot give you any funny answer...I totally know the fans did not react kindly to it as well...

Audience and Members cheer him on to do the impersonation of Bolt...

Sho: (to the fans) but you will not react much anyway!
Nino: nezt time you do it, we will give you a big reaction!

Sho does the impersonation of Bolt (patting head and finger pointing gesture) But the audience does not respond kindly with big cheer...

Matsujun: it did not go well...as expected...
Sho: even i do not understand why I came to perform that again...LOL

Moving on to Kaze no mukoue

Matsumoto asks the staff to wipe the water on stage (from the water feature they had)

Aiba: leaking water
Matsujun: not leaking...!!
Aiba: looks slippery...
Matujun: please be careful, you have done it before(slipped at a concert)
Aiba: I thought I cracked my head open!
Sho: well~ you may have heard the song over and over during the month of august...(apparently, Sho kun made mistakes saying this )
Sho: I know, its OK, I know I made a mistake...
Nino: no one said anything about it!
Sho: well, I have decided to start commenting on my own mistakes before anyone else does from now on...
Nino:...you have toughened up, haven't you? You are the first born of the family, right? (the first born male meant to be the tough one...??)

As Kokuritsu was the stadium used for Tokyo Olympic, there is a Video footage by Ogusan (of Syukudai kun) doing a quick talk on Olympic, ending with a message of "please be the witnesses of 5 young people who will travel to Asia from here..."

After Shokun solo, with theme of Dream A live in the background, they introduce live band members, MADF (?), MAD juniors, then onto introducing Arashi members...

Matsujun: he goes real close to the camera, then licks his finger
Nino: performs a magic trick, after that, he throws a kiss at camera
ohno: eye movement trick - same trick as the one he did at Dome concert
Aiba: does some funny trick using his hand...??? Doing a cute pose of some kind...sorry, not sure what the reports  mean...as I have not seen it and description does not make much sense to me...(cries)
Sho: does a quick rap with members dancing around him 

Greetings after the Encore:

Matsujun: at a huge place like this, with so many people turning up, to put on such a great show...it is totally thanks to you....each and one of you...next year, 10th anniversary concert...I promise to make it great...so please show us your beautiful face again then (although it was so touching, some giggled when he said "beautiful face" lol)

Aiba: finally, I could put on a Tshirt! (because he lost Janken-Rock Paper Scissors so he had to dive into a small tank of water earlier, running around in board shorts...)

Nino: when we were saying "what's our name~", this person was naked...!

Aiba: true...anyway...it was so much fun, wasn't it?

Ohno: yeah...the fireworks was fun!

Nino:...if it was Ok with you, it would have been nicer if you said the concert was fun...and not the fireworks...

Ohno: (ignoring Nino's comment) the fireworks made it such a great ending, don't you think?
Matujun: ...should we sing one more?

Audience: kyaaaaaaa~

Matsujun:...that (audience's cheer) is not enough!

Aiba: oh, no! you made Matsumoto san angry!

 Matsujun: I am NOT angry...!

Aiba: you ARE angry...!

apparently...then...Matsujun grabbed Aiba-chan's hand and BIT Aibachan's finger... (playfully, but very hard...leaving teethmark...) !!!

Aiba:Ouch! Oh my god! it is first time been bitten by HUMAN (aiba chan often bitten by animals in a show he appears,ne) I can see teethmark!!!!

Onto the final encore...LOL

Bits and Pieces

Famous people attending included Higashiyama senpai (Johnny's), Toma (Johnny's - Maou co-star), Kobayashi Ryoko? (Maou's Shiori chan), Yamamoto Sensei (someone who taught archery to Olympic team or something? some connection with Sho kun) , Ogu-Shio Badminton players , Yoshida Sensyu (olympian?), Mr & Mrs 犬堂(Kiiroi Namida Director??) , Yara (Johnny's MA) , Hatori san (Bird announcer from Zoom in) and others...

Hello Goodbye (Aibachan solo )- Eyes getting very watery especially after singing his solo (he managed to successfully do the mouth harp bit without problems!) and the fans screamed and cheered him.

Subarashiki Sekai - members in pastel coloured suit, sitting on chairs on stage - maybe they timed it well or maybe it was a lovely coincidence, but the sun started to go down while singing this song and it was apparently really beautiful

Tomadoinagara - under the red sky, the band played live (acoustic)

Take me faraway (ohno solo) - same costume as Dome con

Niji (Nino solo) same costume as Time con, played piano (white mini grand) with glasses on, of course he took it off at the end, and cheered by many fans...

Tell me what yo wanna be? (Matujun solo) - sun glasses, the live band played again

HIp Pop Boogie (Sho solo) - apparently sang (?) rap lyrics without music to start with then onto the actual song...??

The fireworks - Arashi Colours!!!! Yay!!!

Apparently, there is a live band member whose name is Imai Tsubasa (same as Takky & Tsubasa) ...LOL

Bye for now from Oz, with Love xxx

Jun: that is right

nino: sho -chan has experience birthday at your solo-concert once, right?

Sho: yeah, it was actually here in Fukuoka!

Nino: well... yesterday...but Aiba did not even send me happy birthday email...

Aiba: Wait! Who did you see first this morning?

Nino: it was Aiba -san

Aiba: when I saw you this morning, I said Happy Birthday! I did not want to send an email - I wanted to say happy birthday face to face, celebrate it first thing today!

nino:...the first thing you said was "hello"...then we got in the car, then happy birthday...

Sho: Let's just celebrate...!

Jun: MAD! Please bring the cake!

MAD brings uot a big cake with 25 candles on while singing happy birthday...

Jun: Oi! Hurry up! and don't start singing yet! your microphones are not on!

Nino: look at so many candles...!

Aiba: I shall help you blow our the candles!

Sho: he cannot make a wish then...!

Jun:that's right...stop it !

Nino:...ah...can I blow the candles out now (because members were talking to Aiba)

Cake was taken away after that...

Sho: you better eat it all!

Jun, Ohno and Aiba: yeah, we went out of our way to get the cake for you!

Nino: I definitely could not eat it all myself...

Jun: you should eat it for dinner

Aiba: you cannot go home until you eat it all

Nino:...can't I go home until I eat the cake...

They were also being filmed.

Jun: we hope to make some kind of footage for 10 th anniversary year...

Everyone sings happy birthday again

Arashi: not just the cake...we have something else...
Nino: I do not want anything else...
Arashi: here you go!

Presents in a red bag is given to Nino

Nino looks a bit scared opening it

Aiba: don't worry...! it is not a live animal...it is not some fresh food either...!

Nino does not want to open the bag so Jun takes it from him and give Nino the contents of the red bag one by one...

(inside the red bag were Huge bow tie, Silk Top Hat, fake mustache, magician's props, stick and flowers for magic trick)

Jun was looking for the fake mustache but could not find it at first...Aiba was wiping Nino's face with a towel (probably in preparation for Nino to have the fake mustache put on...)

Jun: I should do it ...

Jun did a magic trick with the stick...

Audience: no response

Jun: the dome is too big for a magic trick like this...

Jun hands the stick over to Nino

Nino: it is now second hand!

Jun:masaki, you can do it!

Aiba does the red flower magic trick
and then give it to Nino

Nino: again it is now "Used" item!

Jun: I found this backstage...so I brought it with me...

Jun hands Nino a deck of cards

Nino starts doing a magic trick with the cards

Nino: you, unlucky looking person (pointing at Ohno)

Ohno picks out a card (Ace of Spade)

Nino: Maou has an enemy...isn't that right? who is it?

Sho?: Magic props suit the black costume...

Nino: well...if I did the magic without wearing costume, I will get caught being naked!

Jun: you should buy the costume...

Jun: well...Nino should start with the stories ...

Nino starts talking about magic...

Sho: no, no...other stories...

nino: oh, well...then maybe I will talk about games...

Jun: do that in Game Nikki!

Aiba: different direction!

Nino:ah...well...thank you so much for celebrating my birthday...

Nino: by the way...I showed my magic to my mother...but she never gets surprised! she would ask instead, "how did you do that? Other people get surprised....not my mother...people. do not give reaction like my mother...

Jun: any message to the fans  ?

nino: well...I would like to finish the 5 dome tour successfully and return here again...we have 24HR TV as well...and that is on the day of...well...I shall not say what ...

Because it will be Jun's birthday, the fans cheer loud in response to Nino's comment

Ohno: ah...I will be doing a drama Maou Friday from 10pm, starting on 4th of July...

Sho:...Waratte Iitomo...Oguri kun appeared on Monday, Mao chan appeared on Tuesday, Abe chan appear today...tomorrow will be Matsuda...so Friday should be Matsujun...how about Arashi members appear next week monday to friday? and the following week, we do the round again among arashi members...

Jun: we have concert...

Sho: well, Arashi has no friends or what? going round and round among members only! lol

Jun: 27th June Friday from 10pm, there is HanaDan special...

Jun: ...if you really have to, you can come along and appear on the show...but you must do the Domyoji hair..those two would be fine (.Sho kun and Aiba chan )...but this person (Ohno) cannot do it, right? because of his drama commitment...
 

Sho: Yatta-man animation's character is meant to be 14 yo...

Jun: ...does that mean the movie version is miscast?

Sho:...the movie version does not specify the age of the characters...we have discussed it with the director...

Aiba: well, we have been filming Leader's art exhibition...please watch the footage...

Move on to OhMiya SK

It seemed many in the audience never seen SK before and did not seem to know how to respond to SK...

Yuji: long time no seen!

Audience: not much response

Yuji: are there so many of you who have never seen us before? nice to meet you then...I am Yuji...Taka, introduce yourself!

Taka: I am taka!

Yuji: ...Taka, it seems they have not seen us before...

Audience: yes we have! 9some voices)

Yuji:then why did you not respond saying "long time no seen" you guys are crazy!?

well...we were boxed in and the lid was shut tight for 3 years...Johnny's entertainment actually finally tried to start marketing Arashi seriously...so very solid lid was on our head...for three years, we kept banging on the lid...then...Taka's fringe became like Kawai Shunichi!

Taka: ...

Yuji: ...Taka...you can speak...can't you?

as they were leaving the stage, Taka says "Happy birthday"and kisses Yuji on his cheek.

Yuji falls onto the floor after being kissed by Taka.

Taka was walking up behind Yuji, so accidently stepped on Yuji's hand when Yuji fell down.

Yuji: Ouch! can you decide if you are going to be naughty or nice! ?

Yuji gets up and two of them start walking off the stage together ...THEN Taka kisses Yuji again!

Sho:...did you feel it? I think the Sk themselves are feeling this weired atmosphere the most...

Jun: well, they were gone for three years! of course people forget!

Aiba? well, waiting backstage, the part audience most responded to was the Kawai Shunichi bit... anyway...let's get hyped for the last half!

After Dream A Balloon ...

Jun: how was it today?

Sho: I don't think I will ever get used to it!

Ohchan and Junkun put their foreheads together, looked into each other for a little while, then Junkun kissed Ohchan on his cheek...!!!!! Chu~~~~~~~~

Do my best

Jun: the opening...it was a little embarrassing...

nino: it gets so dark so quickly...

Aiba: it is a tent

Sho: tent?

Aiba: what do you call it then?

Nino: dome...

Aiba: i went to sleep at 7pm last night I was so hyped up...and I got up at 4am...

Nino: how could you go to bed at 7pm?

Aiba: but got up at 4am...

Sho: you are already sleepy now, aren't you?

Aiba: I stay up all day today!

Sho: well...the work did not finish late last night...so it was not work...staying up late and sleepy...well...does the work finish late for you now you are doing the drama, ohno san?

Nino: you sshould inform them properly!

Ohno: I will be in a tv drama for the first time ! Maou...starts on 4th July...my character is a lawyer...

Sho: I cannot imagine leader playing a lawyer...

Ohno: on surface, an angelic lawyer who helps the weak...but underneath, a devil who plots revenge on his murdered brother...no one likes him...

Sho: angelic...devilish smile...absolutely no response from 55000 people here...

Nino: I have an announcement , too. I will be appearing on Maou's first episode.

Sho: just like our big brother appeared on Yamada Taro?

nino:can I ...say this??? what am I? what is my character...? it says "male"...well, I should understand ...
(sho is drinking water our of a plastic bottle) ...why are you drinking water ?

Aiba: ...sakurai kun looked like he wanted a drink...so I was opening the lid for him1

nino:...you shoud be a couple...

Aiba: well...Sho kun asked me if I already had a shower...he said that he was gonna let me wash his back for him...!

Jun:...well,,his hand is not yet healed completely...and his is not flexible...

Nino: so...did you end up washing  your back yourself?

Sho: recently, I have been picking up a few techniques...put soap on the towel...then put this on to a hook...and ...like this (sho pretends to be washing his back using this new technique...)

nino; but he really has learnt a few techniques...

Aiba: eating with left hand...no problems!

Nino: oh, by the way...let's talk about Maou

Ohno: well, not just me but Nino appears in the first episode, and Toma is the passionate detective...

Toma appears on stage!

Sho: I have not seen you for ages!

Toma: Maou, Maou! Good evening...I am ikuta toma.

Sho: Toma-sama...what is Ohno san like at the filming? Is he speaking?

Toma: he does not speak much...

Jun: ...how he just sits and stare...we are used to it but people who are not used to it see it...

Sho: even when we did West Side Story, other people would often ask is Ohno kun OK? not feeling well?

Toma: there is a rumour like that ...well...you know...he goes fishing on his day off...but he is a lawyer...devil avenger...and he is tanned...he is told not to go fishing but he goes!

Sho: there should not be any day offs then...

Ohno: I am such a "rain man"...I get off the bus...and rain starts...so the filming stops and I get on the bus...the sun comes out...

Toma...a man who calls storm, Maou!

Nino: I did not want to get wet so I hid in a tunnel.

ohno: it never rains when I go fishing, tough

Nino: is it matter of attitude?

Ohno: I have no friends at filming location...I do not know how friendly I should be with people there...

Sho: ...?It's OK ...isn't it? (to be friendly)

Ohno: What do you think? It is difficult...conversation with Toma is awkward...

Jun: don't you talk during filming?

Toma: Oh-chan does such a great facial expression...It makes me think "wow...so cool, kakkoii~" it is such a transformation from a face of an angel to a face of a devil.

Sho: (sings) angelic devils' smile~

nino: Sho-san!

Aiba: you should apologise!

Sho: I am so sorry...

Nino: well. look forward to Maou

Sho: I am so looking forward to it...well, Toma...say a few words..

nino: what would be character's interesting points to watch out for?

Toma: well...I play a detective who is the target of Oh-chan's revenge...(jun is not paying attention)...are you not interested? hey, curly curly hair !

Jun: I am interested... well...is leader the only one making moves?

Toma: I am at mercy of Oh-chan's sophisticated plot for revenge...

Sho: I cannot wait...so looking forward t it...so please do not tell me the story!

Toma: oh, and we will appear on Tokyo Friend Park together.

Nino: I want Magic Goods (as a prize from TFP...LOL)

Ohno: I shall tell them...not that I can promise they will say yes...

Jun: you are gonna ask them?

Sho: when does maou start?

Ohno: from 4th july friday 10pm TBS station. Please watch it.

Toma leaves the stage...

Jun: those two are funny together...would make a good duo.

Aiba: "oh-chan" is not something many people use...

Sho: much better friends than I thought they were...

Jun: Toma is leading him...I remember ...West Side Story...I was fighting Toma and Leader was behind us in that scene...

Sho: by the way...Matsujun...your movies...

Jun: kakushitoride - screening now! and when that finishes, hanadan will start screening!

Sho: cannot wait, yeah?

OhMiya SK:

Taka (satoshi) and Yuji (kazunari) in front of a photo of artworks

Yuji: look at this...does this look like us? the hair is wrong, we don't wear glasses and we are not as dark skinned...

During the song, OhMIya performs a technique called "Giant Swing"...and Long Bazooka

After the Mikoshi Song and Long Bazooka...

Yuji: the timing was perfect then...Tokyo! Long time no seen

(Yuji lifts up his sunglasses a bit)

Audience: Kya~~~~~

Yuji: Those who did not say "Kya~"...nice to meet you. I am Yuji...Taka, introduce yourself!

Taka: I am Taka

Yuji: Those of you who carried Mikoshi...! Please get rid of it quickly ! we get told off!

Taka, when the song started, you made it go round and round...Taka's heel got into achileswhen we were doing Not Tegoshi~...I thought he was truly gone...

Taka: ...

Yuji: you don't know...you are using microphone...I know something...you are filming a drama lately...your hair is growing and it is like Kawai Shunichi!

Taka: hello, I am Kawai Shunichi...

...OhMiya...so pointless, so meaningless, so does not make any sense...so funny...! 

After OhMiya Sk...

Aiba: are they gone?

Sho: let's talk about us now...Screening next spring, I will be in Yatta-man...the filming has finished but the movie is not completed yet...please look forward to it. 2008...well...all of us have been appearing in CM...au...Tongari Corn...Matsumoto-kun's drink CM...

Aiba: give me three years worth!

Sho: do you know the Able Panel?

Aiba: that business man style one...

Sho: I got photo taken in front of a panel depicting business men

Aiba: Long time ago, Johhny's shop had a Purikura (Print Club)

Sho: did you go to get the photo done?

Aiba: I have been to take the photo.

Jun: did you line up?

Aiba: I did wait in the line...just because I was a member of Johnny's, I could not tell them to let me cut in...

Sho: you really wanted a photo of you and yourself?

Aiba: it was after filming NHK program...I would have been in the thirs year of Junior High (about 15yo) oh well...things hapen in life...let's get all hyped up for the last half!

Some people in the audience respond to Sho's question

Sho: those who spoke...are you the one who could make it here ?happy you could make it ...let's keep having fun (because of the earthquake, many could not get to the concert if they were traveling by trains as they were not running )
Jun: I hope the trains come back on soon

Aiba: let's go~

Audience: ...(silence)

Aiba: can't you get going??? Ya~y ! Please watch the footage first...(move on to the caterpillar footage thing)

Encore:
Do my best

One Love

感謝カンゲキ雨嵐

Double Encore:
五里霧中

PIKAN☆☆CHI DOUBLE

Enjoy!

*By the way...I am pretty sure I saw MC report translation from 1st June somewhere...???
I only had a quick look thinking "ah~ great. someone's already spread arashi love,ne~"...
Anyway...if there is no MC report trans from 1st of June, I will try and do them ...but if you could just let us know if there is one, then provide the link to the Vox post XD

Sho: Anyone here first time at Nagoya dome?
Fans: ha~i (here/raise hands)
Sho: Anyone here been here to watch baseball???
Fans: ha~i (here/raise hands)
Sho: Anyone here watched Kyojin match?
Fans: ha~i (here/raise hands)
Sho: Oh? I think I am starting to get confused...

Aiba: Can I talk about something funny?
Fans: Yeeeeeeessssss!
Nino: for the time being, we will listen...
Aiba: I bought an ant farm the other day
Jun: that was popular around the time when I was doing Banbino
Aiba: It said ants will make a nest within 3 days or so. BUT after 1 week, nest was still not made...so I read the instruction book ...it said "catch some ants and put them in the antfarm...
Sho: (LOL) what? you had NOT put ants in there until then?
Nino: so you were looking at just nest for one whole week?
Aiba: no ants...so not even nest! Just jelly...
Fans: LOL
Aiba: it was in the middle of a night when I discovered that information but I ran out straight away to catch ants. We haven't seen ants lately, have we? I managed to find two ants so I put it in the ant farm...but they have wings...and they are just flying about in the ant farm and not making nest...

Aiba: by the way...the dome is huge,ne~
Satoshi: Home run, that way?
Fans: that way is FOUL!
Nino:don't you know the rules of baseball game?
Satoshi: no...
Jun: most boys...usually know baseball rules...don't they?
Satoshi: Sho-kun doesn't know either...isn't that right?
Sho: I DO know the rules! you just hit the ball and run to the right to the first base...isn't that right?
Jun: ...sort of...correct...
Aiba: I actually MADE a baseball team recently
Jun: you MADE a baseball team?
someone: so, you are the coach?
Aiba: no...I am the owner of the baseball team. I even bought equipments for the team.
Nino: say that again? you only bought three baseball bats...
Aiba: hahahahaha
someone: does the team have a name?
Aiba: Kara-zu (カラーズ)
Sho: sound serious! LOL
Fans: laugh
Aiba: the team name has a meaning!
Sho: right...then tell us...
Aiba: it will be a long story...is that ok?
Sho: that is ok...
Aiba: I have a friend called "Karasawa"san and he attended a high school renowned for a strong baseball team.
Karasawa -san practiced swinging of the bat very hard for to whole years...and he actually got to go to Koshien (big high school baseball competition) ...something he dreamed of all his life...however, Karasawa was not given a chance to hit a home run or anything...he was instructed to do sacrifice bunt...baseball is a team play...so he obliged and did the sacrifice bunt to forward a runner...so, Let Karasawa dream again - thus the team name Kara-zu.
Sho: it actually has such solid meaning behind it...
Aiba: that's right ! so don't laugh!　

Sho: It has already been 9 years since we debuted
Nino: we were very transparent back then, weren't we? Fortunately, we can sparkle now (the costume had glitters or something at the time)
Aiba: ah, that costume so hard to fog up on purpose...
Fans: laugh
Sho: hey, you...you are all laughing...but it was really hard back then!
Fans: laugh even harder...

ＭＣ

MC costume - Sho's costume was right side short sleeve, and left side long sleeve - while everyone else had both sides long sleeves...

Ｓｈｏ’ｓ　Ｉｎｊｕｒｙ　ｒｅｌａｔｅｄ
JUN：You may have already noticed...but Sho-kun got injured during today's rehearsal...and he cannot dance...

Sho：First time in my 26 years of life...broken bone...! I am enjoying broken bone life at the moment 骨折人生満喫中! (laugh)

Sho: You have all experienced brokne bone, right?

Aiba: yeah

Nino: yes

Aiba: I have broken bones three times ...worse still...including hip joint...!

Nino: we don't care about your hip joint! (laugh)

Sho?: but muscle is fine

(sho does the muscle pose)

Nino: ...you don't have to do that ...

members: no need to do that! (laugh)

Nino: oh well, at least your muscle is fine...

Sho: (while patting his muscle) Yes! I am relieved this part was not damaged!

Nino: well...where about is your broken bone?

Sho: the base of my thumb...went  "CRACK" (forced smile)

Jun: (to the fans) you have taken the trouble to come here ...but he has injured his hand and leg...so unfortunately he cannot dance...

Sho: so sorry

Jun: well, it was not your fault...

Sho: I think Nino was watching what happened by chance...I think I fell from the stage...

Nino：You were like a human cannon - falling with such force...then you went tumble tumble...I thought you may have hit your head...and because your body is so stiff, you must have hit your side of your belly, too...but hey, I am relieved  your injury was not too serious...

*while Nino is describing how sho fell, sho is doing the muscle pose and smiling
*apparently, on the cast - where the palm of his hand is - was drawing of eyes and mouth - and sho was doing sort of like "shake hand" with a dog kind of movement with it and was cute and fans close by kept screaming out "cute" (not many people reported this but multiple fansites mentioned this so should be true - it seems Sho got re-casted and now have shorter cast so the drawing would be gone...)

Jun: we did think maybe we have to do this as a group of 4...

Aiba: so happy that we could still do this as a group of 5

Jun: Aiba-chan who is never good with remembering choreography actually remembered Sho's dance moves and positions to cover for Sho-kun...

Nino: we are all covering for Sho

(sho goes over to Aiba and hugs him)

Sho: thank you...oh what? this person...(koitsu - meaning Aiba-chan) drenched with sweat !!

Aiba: today I am sweating more than usual~

Sho: when I patted his shoulder, it went "splash"! what the...!

Nino: by the way...it is so good that all 5 of us could do the concert together...

Satoshi: When Sho got back from the hospital, we took a photo together as a momento, didn't we? (laugh)

Aiba: I even helped with make up...drawing the eyeline...(aiba-chan pretend to do the eyeline on sho-kun)

Sho: not being able to use the right hand - so inconvenient...I had to eat soba noodle with fork (instead of chopsticks) and it was hard to pull up my pants...those small everyday things were so hard...

Aiba: until your injury heals, I will do everything for you! (imagine Aiba-chan saying this really passionately - so cute lol)

Jun: how long will it take to heal completely?

Sho: about a month? but I think it will be ok after 2 weeks or something

Aiba: well, during the recovery, I will even shower with you

Sho: look, you just want to jump in shower with me!

Jun: ...that could be dangerous...let's not talk about this kind of thing...

Sho: but this person (meaning Aiba) run into shower when I was having shower...

(aiba is laughing his head off while Sho try to explain the shower incident)

Jun: well...we only have two shower booths here...
Aiba: that's right
Sho: then when we were discussing who's gonna have a shower...Matsujun raised his hand...so Matsujun would jump in the shower first...then Aiba-chan and myself both raised hands...after Matsujun...so it went from there...having shower together...you wanted to have shower with me, didn't you (to Aiba)?
Aiba: no~ i did not want to have shower with you specifically~
Satoshi (very seriously) what do you do in the shower together...?
Jun:...wait, stop...! why is it that the conversation is getting so deep...???

(sho put a bottle of drink between his legs trying to open the cap)

Nino: wait! what are you doing??? it is leaking! someone's gonna slip! its dangerous....!!!

members (including Nino) : we will open it for you!!! (run to Sho to help open the bottle - Jun end up opening the bottle for Sho)

Jun: you live your life being supporeted by everyone,ne~

(Sho drinks his drink, sucking it in and the bottle being squashed - as always )

Nino: that is now how you are meant to drink out of plastic bottle...(laugh)

Ｅａｔｉｎｇ　ｏｕｔ　ｔｏｇｅｔｈｅｒ

someone: Ohnokun ate a bit...
Aiba: first time eating something other than chicken wings! (chicken wings meant to be something Nagoya is famous for...?)

(other members try to stop Aiba and Nino's friendly fight...)

Nino: well, I did do a TV drama ... (referring to Haikei? where he was the chef?)

Sho:well...now you mentioned drama...

Ｓａｔｏｓｈｉ’ｓ　Ｍａｏｕ　ＴＶ　Ｄｒａｍａ　

Members congratulate Oh-chan starring in a TV drama series by petting him and patting his head etc...

Oh-chan just stand there and let other members do whatever to him...ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh *melt*

Jun: (laughing out loud ) w...wait! this person! (meaning Oh-chan) his hair is ... in such a state!!!
so hard...!!!!! ガッチガチstiff, stiff...!!!

(everyone starts touching Oh-chan's hair - of course Oh-chan just stands there and let them...harass him...lol)、

Aiba: it is so unfortunate we cannot describe how it feels like~

(everyone keeps playing with Oh-chan's hair - but it does not move at all since hairsprayed to max and so hard...)

Satoshi: well...it is lawyer ...

(Jun keeps touching Oh-chan's hair...)

Satoshi: I don't like long hair~ gets in a way when dancing....I wanted to cut my hair short ofr Maou...but they told me I should keep it long...
Jun: don't you like it long?
Satoshi: no

Sho: well...Ohno-san...does the drama have a theme song...?

(Ohno goes quite ...fans took this as a sign that the theme song is NOT sang by Arashi - but technically, Ohno did not say anything...just did not answer the question...no official announcement - so we just gotta wait - but there is a gossip going around saying it will be sang by Ohno&Ikuta ...and another rumor says it will be Ohno solo...and another says it will be Classic style song by someone else...)

Sho: well, I would like to star in the drama...
Jun: we do get to star in it, don't we? (laugh)
Satoshi: maybe Sho-kun could do the role of an injured person somewhere...
Sho: I want to be the person who comes out of the court with the paper saying "勝訴" successful lawsuit/won
(strange thing Japanese do...after the court case is concluded, they come out with a paper saying "won the lawsuit" ...I have seen it on TV before...I am not sure if it is only done for the big media driven case only or everyone does it...lol)
members: well, you don't have to hold the paper saying "won"...we can just right it on your cast...(laugh)
Nino: (pretending to hand out flyers) I would do any role...how about handing out flyers? (probably a take off on Ohno's role when he appeared in YamaTaro,ne)

Apparently there was a pre-screening of Hanadan Movie

Sho: I could not go...

member: why?

Sho: because...I had a dinner party with Olympians to attend...

Aiba: wow...dinner with Olympians? I wanna go, too~

Jun: you just go and eat with animals!

Aiba: hey, it is quite difficult eating with animals!

ＯｈＭｉｙａ　（ｍｉｎｉ　ｒｅｐｏｒｔ）

Usual stuff...

then...

Yuji: Yaka's fringe is just like Kawai Shunichi (former volleyball player - he does have stiff hairdo...lol) 

Taka: (gets angry) Chikubi Re-dial!!! (nipple re-dial ) - pinches Yuji's nipples and twist...LOL ...Yuji falls on the floor...

Taka & Yuji leave the stage with Yuji keeps saying "Talka's fringe looks like Kawai Shunichi~"

Ａｉｂａ’ｓ　Ｋｏｎｂｉｎｉ　Ｓｔｏｒｙ

Aiba and Jun appear after OhMiya (no Sho)

Aiba: something that happened recently that made me happy~

Jun: well...maybe not that story...

Fans: what??????

Aiba: I went to Konbini (24/7 shop - convenience store) and the shop attendant was not a Japanese person...but the person said "you are a celebrity, aren't you?"...I was happy thinking someone from overseas know Arashi~ then, the person went "hakusyu, hakusyu" wanting to shake my hand! (shake hand is Akusyu...Hakusyu means clap hands) so I said "that's AKUSYU"! and shook hand with the person...but the timing of my AKUSYU comment in a style of comic backchat was perfect...the student look person behind me was laughing out laud - I have a talent for comic act! I am gonna start doing the comic backchat...even to Matsujun ...(Aiba pretends to slap Matsujun - after he does, he looks a little worried...)

Jun: hakusyu, hakusyu !

Aiba: AKUSYU (slaps Matsujun's head) laughs

Aiba:...my hand was shaking doing tukkomi (comic backchat) to matsujun!

Ｔｒａｐｅｚｅ

Sho still did the trapeze thing hung by wires...but did not move much (well, he does not move much anyway,ne too scared...lol - at least this day he had a good excuse - injuryxxx)

Ｅｎｃｏｒｅ

Sho: What's our name? (Jun usually does this but let Sho-kun do it)

fans: ARASHI~~~~

Jun was holding Sho-kun 's left hand when the members did "hold hands, raise hands, bow" thing.

Ｄｏｕｂｌｅ　Ｅｎｃｏｒｅ

Everyone appear in same costumes with different colour

nino: wow...same clothes?

member: yeah, my own clothes...not costume...

member: yeah. just different colour...but matching!

lol

Jun: sorry we are not gonna sing Arashi...we have a song we want you to listen...One Love...

Ｍｅｍｂｅｒ　Ｇｒｅｅｔｉｎｇｓ

Before Pikanchi Double performance, members did a special greeting (usually only Jun says something here)

Jun: though not anyone's fault, we experienced some happenings...I feel so relieved that we could finish this concert without a hitch...

Nino: It is my first time being at Nagoya dome - you probably have been here more often than I have...all of us made this concert together, putting in much effort...thank you for coming...

Ohno: I think I exchanged energy with you today...I will take home the energy you have given me back home to my family...

member: well, your mother will be very happy (laugh)

Aiba: It has always been "normal" doing this together...but today, there was a time where we thought maybe we had to do it as a group of 4...we really felt the power of 5 ...didn't we, Sho (here, Aiba apparently said "Sho" not Sho-kun, not Shochan...just Sho...kya~ many fans were pretty excited about this one word..."SHO" lol)

Sho: until about lunch time, I was thinking maybe I cannot do the concert...but everyone supported me and gave me power...unfortunately, I could not show you my WONDERFUL dance moves (laugh) and it is regrettable...but really thank you all...so glad to have the support of the group.Thank you again...

Ｔｒｉｐｌｅ　Ｅｎｃｏｒｅ

Apparently, ARASHI scream by the fans here at this point reached another momentum...the dome full of fans shouting ARASHI in perfect unison ...and apprently it was magic...! Oh I sooooooo wanted to be there ...!

Members: wow...amazing (referring to ARASHI call by fans)

**********

Sounds like this was an amazing concert...It is unfortunate that Sho injured himself and we all wish it did not happen - but at the same time, this incident seemed to have brought the members even closer together...and I think Arashi could reaffirm Arashi fans love for the members... So all is not bad, ne xxx

Sho-chan, get well soon xxx

Oh-chan...I wanna touch your "stiff" hair~~~
