Other


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, 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), 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. The film was screened in other Asian countries, like Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, indonesia and Taiwan. It was also screened in the US, including Hawaii, where the group started. On September 15, 2022, the film was released in a 4K/regular Blu-ray disc format set, and as a sole Blu-ray disc. 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.
