Other edit

While in hiatus, Arashi continues giving fans something to keep them in mind, such as the release of the film "ARASHI Anniversary Tour 5×20: Record of Memories", a look at one of the 5x20 concerts, held on December 23, 2019, at Tokyo Dome. With the number "5" holding a special meaning since day one, referring to the unchanging number of members,[22] and the only changing number being the one after, as in 5x20, the release of the information on May 22, 2021 gives a subtle hint to the continuation of the group (5x22), since in 2021 Arashi would celebrate 22 years of career. "ARASHI Anniversary Tour 5×20: Record of Memories" was screened first at the 24th Shanghai International Film Festival (June 11-20, 2021),[23][24] and later in Japan on November 3, 2019, as pre-release, with its official release on November 26, both in normal and Dolby Cinema formats.[25] The film was screened in other Asian countries, like Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, indonesia and Taiwan.[26][27][28][29][30] It was also screened in the US, including Hawaii, where the group started.[31][32][33][34] On September 15, 2022, the film was released in a 4K/regular Blu-ray disc format set, and as a sole Blu-ray disc.[35][36] The film reached the top spot in the movie genre category of the "Oricon Weekly BD Ranking". It was the first time in Oricon's history that a work achieved the highest first week sales exceeding 300,000 units sold, by selling 363,000 units.[37]
