Arashi will postpone hiatus one year?
The Coronavirus outbreak has affected the Japanese entertainment industry. Many concerts canceled throughout Japan and Asia. Under such circumstances, Johnny's Jimusho - in line with government orders - announced that performances hosted by his talents will be "postponing or cancelled from February 27 to March 9", but it is highly possible that the target will expand even further.
In this sense, Arashi suspended his concert in China scheduled for April and this week the “Arashi exhibition” has been suspended and the attendance of audience at VS Arashi recording has also been canceled.
But no one official announcement was held for followings concerts. Which is means Kokuritsu is safe and also the rumoured "Final Thanks Tour" scheduled for september will not be affected.
For example SARS emerged on 2002 and WHO declared outbreak terminated on the following year, we can expect a similar situation.
It is said in the surroundings that Arashi's calendar has been affected to such an extent that it is unknown if the Kokuritsu concert can be held in May. Also the "Final Thanks Tour" is in danger.
If this happens, it is possible that Arashi will also reschedule his hiatus deadline.
"Everything could be canceled or postponed. However, since I have been supported by fans for more than 20 years, I cannot stop my activities without being able to a proper farewell. I guess it's not a cancellation but a postponement.Then, on December 31, we have the deadline but we can't make it in time [to fulfill the schedule]" (Johnny's officials).
Some voices said "the suspension of activity itself may be prolonged".
"In fact, TV stations are planning to organize - behind the scenes - the postponement of the Arashi's suspension deadline"
The possibility of Arashi remains active next year is not longer zero.

Many fans dismiss the gossip because is a Tokyo Sports scoop and this tabloid isn't too accurate like Bunshun magazine.
"However if Tokyo Olympics will postpone to the next year due coronavirus... means Arashi whom is a special supporter will continue?" Some fans are spread those theories.
May be will be a great catastrophe and Olympics will be postponed until coronavirus ended. And what's happens with Arashi? The special NHK Supporter can afford the Olympic reschedule? On net some fans arguing and blame IOC if they re programme Olympics because Arashi can´t be there.
Despite of that other people joked about janiotas and said "fans believe arashi is most important than athletes" “the athletes are the protagonists” “Arashi can be replace for others johnnys groups or for anybody" [things like that]
A columnist on JW said If Arashi hiatus is postponed maybe Ohno istead of take a pause he wants to retire “Ohno drives crazy “No more I will retire” Also added “There is a risk that the feelings of Arashi members will hurt and members lose their minds (will be puttsun) and the same goes for Arashi fans” “I'm worried for the mentality of everybody”
Speaking of which, "The IOC heavyweight mentioned the possibility of a one-year postponement of the Tokyo Olympics." Because of the huge financial damage olympics "cannot be canceled", so if there is an emergency, it must be postponed for exactly one year … Of course, this is neither a decision nor a consideration at this stage, but if the Tokyo Olympics are postponed for one year, the pause of Arashi activity will likely be postponed for a whole year. What will happen ...? * Crisis of mental collapse.
*** Author Note: Yep I’m a little lazy and with a tones of work, posting here a little late and near to the weekend. /// I agree with Johnny’s watcher blogger is like a “crisis of mental collapse” for everybody! for us, for members! Maybe is destiny? I mean japanese believe in destiny “ume” maybe one more year is our destiny? I don’t know...I write and listening Arashi reborn single on Spotify.. this is even real? so much changes in the past year despite of hiatus announcement. Maybe Arashi won't postpone their hiatus… and if Tokyo olympics will suspend for one year Arashi only returns in one year for Olympics only and right after games ended they move into pause again... I’m looking forward to it. I only want Arashi happiness. /// By A~san/////
