Japanese pop sensation ARASHI is making headlines again as their beloved track “Love so sweet” surpasses 2 billion streams, becoming the group’s first song to reach this landmark, according to industry rankings. This streaming achievement underscores the group’s enduring popularity and influence, even as they remain on hiatus.

The excitement among fans is further amplified by the birthday of member Kazunari Ninomiya. Fans have flooded social media with tributes and well-wishes, while special radio segments dedicated to Ninomiya—featuring fellow member Masaki Aiba—have added to the celebratory mood.

Adding to the buzz, ARASHI has launched a new fan club-exclusive video series titled “ARASHI Movie.” The series has already prompted emotional responses from viewers, highlighting the strong connection between the group and its supporters.

In a recent poll conducted among high school students, ARASHI’s singles continue to resonate with the younger generation. “Kite” was voted the most popular, followed by “Love so sweet” and the group’s debut single “A・RA・SHI,” reflecting the band’s cross-generational appeal.

Despite being on a break since 2020, ARASHI’s cultural impact remains significant. Members are actively involved in high-profile acting projects, further cementing their status as entertainment icons. As the group approaches its 25th anniversary, fans remain hopeful for a full reunion, while ARASHI continues to deliver surprises and heartfelt content to its dedicated following.
