Japan's popular boy band, Arashi, has announced an online live stream on the day marking their debut; the exceptional event will see all five members together. The famed pop group is taking advantage of digital platforms to connect with fans amid Covid-19 restrictions. The date and additional information about the live broadcast have yet to be unveileḍ.

Arashi is a household name in Japan and has a significant influence on pop culture, a key factor in their massive popularity and appeal. The group's return, especially via a live stream on their debut day, will generate strong social attention and discussions, considering their past successes. In Japan's idol culture, fans highly anticipate chances to interact with idols directly - live streaming allows this interaction.

This type of reviving nostalgia with famous bands and leveraging digital platforms for direct fan encounters is also popular in western countries, especially during the current global pandemic. In the US or EU, artists also host live streams, virtual concerts, and more interactive sessions. Yet, the intensity of fans' emotional attachment to idols and bands may differ from the Japanese context.
